FIFA 10 Info
I know I get excited about each years new football game, but I can't wait for this one.Published 15/07/2009 at 18:30 by djhsecondnature

Swiftly after the news that FIFA 10 will hit our shelves October 2nd, FIFA’s British producer David Rutter gave a wealth of information on the anticipated football title.
Speaking to CVG my name-sake mentioned that there are four things that he wanted to address from this decades final release were. The first was to remove all of the little frustrations such as; goalkeeping errors, trapping errors, some positional weirdness and the odd miss-pass. I am still waiting for a football title to get the goalkeepers just right. They’re normally either super-goalies that can save 98% of your shots, or thick idiots who run out at the wrong angle leaving the entire goal exposed. The second was ensuring that all the stuff that the community found important were addressed. Thirdly, and one thing that really excited me, is the dribbling – which now includes 360-degree dribbling. Before finally improving the already amazing Manager Mode.
More additions include; incorporating pass errors for poorer players, players under pressure will be more likely to have play a bad pass, defensive priorities and better one-on-one attributes for goalkeepers (making them more aggressive, making themselves bigger, scrambling back if chipped, etc). One of the final main additions that Rutter spoke of was the new ‘Create A Set Piece’ function which allows the player to create custom set pieces and assign them to d-pad for in game use.
Rutter also said that “70 percent of our effort this year went on refining the gameplay and responding to feedback. I’m proud to be able to say that, rather than 75 percent of our effort went on a marketing gimmick that nobody’s interested in,” which is great to hear from a developer that seems determined to improve the gaming experience for all of their consumers.
On a light-hearted note, Rutter mentions the change in FIFA online matches during the Champions League Final the year, “When the community guys were over in Vancouver it was during the Champions League final and we went from 40,000 people playing FIFA online to zero in the space of five minutes when the game kicked off. Then at half-time it went back up again to 20,000, then back down to zero for the second half and then back up again to 45,000 at the end of that match. So we have a TV in the office now so we can spot server outages, see who’s playing and where. ”

I have been a PES man myself since PES2 and last edition was the only one I’ve been umming and arrring about. Ultimately I went with PES over FIFA again. There’s 6 of us in my house that play PES religiously, but last year was the only time we stopped playing actually before Uni broke up. We just got bored of it. So we may well be a FIFA house next year. All the noises from EA are sounding very good. All I’ve heard from PES is something about realistic grass, going back to it’s simulation roots and 3D crowds.
Also I enjoyed the quote “rather than 75 percent of our effort went on a marketing gimmick that nobody’s interested in”. The crappy “first-touch”, “off the ball” and freekick targeting system have always put me off FIFA. I just had the feeling they were trying to con people into buy their game with this one “brilliant” feature.

Looking forward to the new “set pieces” feature, where you can save a trained situation and use it in a match. I’m already looking forward to some crazy freekick / cornerkick goals

Yeah same here. I remember where they had a kind of similar thing in the older fifas which was fairly cool, where you had to press a certain button to make a certain player runs.

Yeah, it looks great alright.
I used to love Pro Evo, but FIFA has definitely overtaken it recently

FIFA doesn’t need a marketing gimmick, it’ll still sell faster than shit off a shovel anyways!

Fifa and Pro Evo are getting boring. We need new innovation.

You need to go play FIFA 08 and then play FIFA 09 then. Cos if that isn’t innovation then I don’t know what is!?

I don’t understand why not: the last PSP version I bought, FIFA 08, supported that.

I am rather looking forward to this
with the changes that have been made, i think that it could pull an even bigger lead over PES.

PES will never beat FIFA as it lacks the authenticity without all the licences that FIFA has. Also, everyone loves the realism of FIFA, me included and many people will not want to risk the arcadey-style of PES, so feel more comfortable going for FIFA, it is the best game to play a mate offline on.
FIFA 09 was brilliant, I can’t see this one being any different.

Only a hardened PES fanboy could think that. FIFA 08 beat PES 08, PES 09 was only a slight improvement on PES 08, but as everybody agrees, FIFA 09 was outstanding and outsripped FIFA 08, PES 09 and all other football games ever released since either PES 2 or FIFA 99, depending on the style you prefer.
