Official Trailer

Innovative Player Control
360º Dribbling
The first-ever true 360° dribbling system in a football game gives you precise control to skillfully play spaces between defenders that previously were not possible.


Skilled Dribbling
Advanced animation warping technology lets skilled players face defenders and maneuver around them with highly-responsive lateral dribbling, just like the game's legends.


Gameplay Features
Physical Play Freedom
Wider dribble touches and new collision sharing allow for a less predictable yet extended fight for possession, resulting in more realistic battles between the dribbler and his defender.


Behavioural Intelligence Improvements
Players are more intelligent with more authentic behavior. Players now avoid passes not intended for them, avoid blocking teammate shots, and throw themselves in the way of attacker's shots in defence.


Customisable Set Pieces
Design and record your very own dead ball moves on the training ground for use on match day to outwit your opponent. You have complete control over your players, with the ability to assign a specific role and movement to every outfield player on your team one at a time, and then combine them for the perfect set piece.


Player Urgency
Improved Urgency AI logic, with over 50 new movement cycles, delivers more responsive positioning so your players stay focused on the ball and move at a speed appropriate to the action.


Improved Trapping Intelligence
Players now have a better awareness of where the easiest, most natural trapping position is so they can get the ball on the ground and under control easier and earlier.


Advanced Positioning
Defenders multi-task and play the pitch more intelligently by covering dangerous spaces left by out-of-position teammates. In attack, players analyze space more effectively, curve their runs to stay onside, create


More Accurate Passing
Players better analyze space, resulting in pinpoint passes that give their receivers more options and time to outrun defensive pressure.

i like the fifa games dating back to fifa 94 on the genesis.
the problem is that when it got to ps1 and on, that the games became very complex.

unless youre a constant fifa supporter year after year, you get 'lost' when playing the game the 1st 10-15 times.

I don’t really agree that they are too complex. Controls might have become a bit more difficult over time eg shooting but this only adds to the challenge and realism.

I wouldn’t class Fifa as being a complex game to play. The basics are all still there - passing, tackling and shooting. Sure you can do your fancy tricks, but you don’t have to! Most enjoyable

I'm used to the sega genesis days where I just run around with one guy and he does all the scoring. FIFA and NHL has become too complex for me to play. I'm getting old. lol.

For me I buy a year and skip two to get the next one. I don't think Fifa is one of that you need to keep on buying since there are a lot of similarities of one year vs. the next one. Unlike Madden its another issue.

I have Fifa '08 and my next one will be Fifa 10.

My favorite thing about FIFA is that to win a tournament, all you need to do is switch the controller sides, and start losing on the team you want to lose. Then switch back to win!

Always fun

EA Sports certainly hasn't been shy of the press with this year's FIFA. From the game's early unveiling in April to the almost monthly hands-on sessions since, we've had unparalleled access to the development of this year's game. We were incredibly happy, then, to see the game in an almost complete form at this year's GamesCom convention in Cologne. Currently, 150 people are testing the game and feeding back the final bugs for David Rutter and the team to eradicate before the game is released in October.

Rutter still has plenty to reveal about the game, though, even this close to release. The headline GamesCom announcement is the new Virtual Pro feature, which allows you to import your face into the game using EA's Photo Game Face technology. If you have access to a computer with a webcam, all you need to do is go to the FIFA 10 Web site and upload front- and side-on photos, which can then be imported into the game upon release.

Once you've created your player and set up attributes, such as height and weight, you can then gain attributes by playing with your Virtual Pro in every game mode. These include accomplishments for meeting certain criteria, such as winning 50 jumping headers or scoring so many goals, and all 200 of these attributes are tracked in a sticker album. The idea is to boost your attributes in the areas you've been strong in--more post-goal celebrations are unlocked the more you show off after scoring, and the more balls you win through jumping, the stronger you become in the air.

EA Sports is also making a big deal about the inclusion of the Bernabeu stadium, with Real Madrid's home ground downloadable for free upon the release of the game. According to Rutter, the deal to get the stadium in the game came too late to go onto the disc itself, but we're glad to see that this will be offered for free. The developer has also announced that custom set pieces, another new feature for this year's game, will be playable online. There's one caveat: If someone figures out a way to cheat using the custom set pieces, then EA can disable them online, but there are currently 150 people at EA trying to make sure this doesn't happen.

We should be getting a final build of FIFA 10 in to the office shortly, so the last of our niggling questions will hopefully be answered soon. The game is playing incredibly well at this stage--it's faster and more fluid than last year's game, and the 360-degree control really adds to the gameplay. The full game will be released in October, and we'll bring you our definitive verdict then.

Good thing I have a EU account as well
