FIFA 10 Dated and Detailed

by Justin Hubbell on Fri, 2009-07-17 11:33

Launching October 2nd, FIFA 10 will be available on the DS, PC, 360, PS3, PS2, PSP and Wi.

Here are some improvements:

FIFA 10 promises to get rid of a few glitches found in 09: specifically, every once in a while, some players will do this weird backpedaling movement and get kind of "stuck" on the ball.
Some of 09's star players, like Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o and Manchester United's Christiano Ronaldo, among others, have been retooled, knocking them from "Godlike Supermen" to "normal dudes that happen to be good at kicking."
Team defensive A.I. has also been improved across all platforms.
EA Canada has also included a new, "360°" dribbling system, not sure how it will be different from the previous years, but it should be decent at least.
Training Mode is back! So if you need help on your corner kicks or free kicks, then you can practice outside of a game.
