Creation Centre - FIFA 11

[MisterStubbs]

so you cant include your created player in manager mode? if this is the case, how ****!

still got be a pro thought i suppose?

 

[madridboy86]

Doubt i'll bother much, really thought you'd be able to make players look like your mates etc so you have a team with your friends. Looks pants now :S

same really I was looking forward to creating my local club with all my mates, but its now just being all hype for nothing thank god I got an early code to see what its like now I won't even bother with it

Can someone confirm for me - I ranted about it earlier but truth is - i dont know for certain...

The teams you create, can you then upload that to Fifa and have that as your online club, that your pro's and your mates pro's can join?

Tbh I wasnt expecting much but it looks pretty good.

lads seriously i wouldnt get too beat down about all this. id easily call myself a hardcore fifa fan, and im sure most of you are too, but youv seen how much they listen to "us" and in fairness, they respond to the main complaints very well. they have LOADS of time after the games release for an update or something of that kind, so chill, enjoy the game, and have patience

EA wouldn't patch to make upgrades, only a couple of bug fix patches after which they drop support and tell you to get 12. Hopefully it being the beta they're just holding back a bit for now to test incrementally.

Anyway, here's a blog on the creation centre by its designer

Wish I pre-orded now ;(

 

[Neall]

does this come with the full game, like is it just a pre ordered exclusive?

 

[Brian]

I presume we wont need a code once the game is released.
I want to try this out but Im not preordering it for the sake of it.
Oh well

Pre-orders (you still can to get it on following Wednesday) get early access, after release (probably US release so end of September) it is available to everyone, although obviously only really useful if you have FIFA 11.

Good good at least i will be able to get somesort of quickstart on a club i want to do.
Wish i could start now

I've pre-ordered from GAME, but was a few hours off the cut off for the first batch. Will cancel after I get my code though, not paying £40 for it.

i ment, do you have to pre order it to get it, or does it come with FIFA 11 if you don't pre order it.

It will be available to anyone with an EA account once FIFA launches.

Yeah it's for 360/PS3.

A few quotes from a developer on EA forums

This is just the first beta version of Creation Centre, so there's more to come.

Licensing is always a factor in these things, and that's a primary reason for the lack of authentic kits/boots etc a this stage. It's also the reason you can't, say, import the faces of real footballers from the game into Creation Centre. Our license with that player wouldn't allow it and we'd get into trouble, just as agreements with teams/leagues/FAs etc don't permit us (at this stage) to allow people to import their own stuff. Hope that makes sense - it's always a complex thing, this licensing stuff.

Finally, one important thing to note is that you're not limited to just 50 teams and players, as seems to have been suggested. They're separate things. The created players in your teams don't themselves count towards the total. Players only count towards your total if you 'publish' them individually.

Game Face is definitely something we're looking at. Again, there's a licensing/legal thing we have to work through there, but it's certainly something we're keen to do.

Unfortunately Creation Centre isn't applicable to clubs, although that's something we're looking at of course.

Hopefully they can get gamerface in there, and I see no reason why they can't implement it into clubs, for kit design/badge/name at the very least. These are the two big things (+real facial editing) which it appears to be missing in my opinion, but I'll get to use it for myself on Wednesday.

Got my code yesterday and spent all night making a team. I found it very sluggish and limited, but it works at least... Definitely needs some more faces or to actually let you adjust the faces, also needs more hairstyles, including some more old fashioned styles like the combover; hard to make legends when you can't get it to look like them at all. Also the kit designing is very limited, I'd like direct control over the third colour, shorts and socks, rather than having these decided by the template used.

Anyway I managed to make my team and publicly published it 'Newcastle United XI', was a bit lazy with the stats on some players, but tried to be as accurate as I could be where possible. This is still only a draft as after 18 players you just want to get away from the centre ASAP. You can find it by searching at http://www.ea.com/uk/football/fifa/creation-centre , it's the only team which shows up to a Newcastle search.
