Apparently the developers of Fifa Soccer 2011 let some programmer penalties fly while making this game. Not only are the errors and bugs on the PC version, but many of them haunt the console versions of Fifa Soccer 2011 as well. As of right now, a patch addresses many of these issues and is available for download for the PC only. The console patches will come out soon, but I do not have the schedule for that.

— Added *NEW* Lag Fixes
— Added more pc game fixes
— Added patch announcement
— Added system requirements

Fifa Soccer 2011 Will Crash After a Game

Many users have been pointing out this problem. We have several options that might solve it for you.

Option 1. Update to the latest patch. Recently EA Sports released patch version 1.01. This patch contains a bunch of bug fixes that should help eliminate this problem.
Option 2. Update your directX and videocard drivers to the latest versions. You can get AMD/ATI video card drivers here, and Nvidia Drivers here.

The next two options are reallyout there, although the reasoning behind option 3 could point to a data corruption problem that will be fixed if the patch above doesn’t take care of it for you.

Option 3. Many people claim that this only happens after they earn an accomplishment. Try to avoid accomplishments? Sorry this isn’t really a fix. Just a temporary fix.
Option 4. A few have said that it could be issues with your RAM, as a few users have had luck putting down their RAM to 3GB. This could be due to the fact that they had a bad stick or slot of course.

This is due to a data corruption glitch.
