FIFA 10

From FIFA - Wiki on Neoseeker

Background

FIFA 10 will be the latest installment in the FIFA series. Not much is known about the game so far. The slogan for the game is, 'How big can football get?'

FIFA10 is being released on October the 2nd in Europe and 20th in North America.

During late May and early June 2009, EA Sports conducted a number of community days and interviews in which they released snippets of information to the press.

Manager Mode - For Manager Mode in FIFA 10, EA have made a number of significant changes to the system. Transfers between other teams in the game will be more frequent and realistic. Also, pre-season friendlies will be included, which will be selected by the player's assistant manager. These changes were confirmed by Manager Mode Producer Marcel Kuhn.

Ball Physics - Once again, the ball physics have been refined in order for a more realistic ball movement, adding to the realism of the overall game.

AI - As ever, the AI of the players has been improved. For instance, defences will keep a deeper line in order to have an advantage over the attackers. As well as this, the goalkeepers have been improved to make it harder to score goals than in previous editions of the game.

360 Dribbling - The first ever 360 dribbling system in a football game will be incorporated into FIFA 10, with this new addition allowing the player to find spaces in between defences, that with the old system would have been much more difficult to find.

Improved Trapping - A new trapping system has been incorporated into FIFA 10, which will see a player receiving the ball trying to find the easiest and most natural way to get the ball under control, depending on the height and speed of the ball.

Virtual Pro - A new feature was announced to be in the game by David Rutter. This feature allows you to put you own or others faces in the game and create a player. Speculation suggests that to put your face in the game you will need either a USB card or a XBOX/Play Station camera to take a image of your face. Your virtual pro will be able to play in all offline game modes which will see yourself increase stat-wise. You can also take your virtual pro online to the Virtual Clubs Online where your virtual pro will be able to play online with other player's virtual pro's. It has also been confirmed that you can purchase stat enhances that boost your players stats for a short period of time.

New Arena - A whole new revamped arena will be available in all versions of the game. This new arena will allow you to produce and tweak your own set-pieces. You can also train your Virtual Pro here, as well as play full 11 on 11 practice match, as well as limited player matchs such as 5-a-side games.
