FIFA 10 Patch This Week, EA Keen to Address Remaining Issues

[Steve_OS]

Eurogamer has the scoop.

"EA Sports has told Eurogamer that a large number of the problems reported with FIFA 10 on the official forums have been addressed or will be addressed by a new patch, which should be out this week.

"We have already created one patch based on gameplay feedback after the demo went live, and we are now creating another one that will go out this week (fingers crossed), in order to give our gamers the best possible experience," a spokesperson for EA Canada told Eurogamer overnight.

We asked whether issues with Game Face, Live Seasons, Club Mode and disconnections were connected, and whether there was any progress sorting them out.

On Game Face and Live Seasons, we were referred to EA's public posts on the subject, which include advice on Game Face usability and a workaround for people experiencing problems with Live Seasons 2.0."

Hopefully it fixes all the transfer related issues and the assists-tracking problems.

I'm not technical by any means so please bare with me. How do you even download the patch when it is available? Does it alert you automatically that there is one like it does for the roster updates?

Yup. Usually as soon as the game boots, if there is a patch, it will let you know.

^^ just a heads up. moderator on the fifa forums said that the patch is with MS/Sony and they were working to get the details out by tomorrow morning, so i am not sure that the patch will come out this week.

Nah we just live in a culture where consoles now have the capability to receive and apply downloadable patches as opposed to the previous consoles that couldn't. Back in the day the only games that got patches and updates were computer games. And if a console game had some flaw it was tough luck for the consumer.

We live in a patch video game culture.

and that is a great thing... i do not understand the complaints. games are very expensive and the success rate is hit or miss. they put as much as they can during the development cycle, then rely on avid gamers to find the glitches. the passion and sheer numbers of the fans result in an excellent way to work through issues. i trust the "fan boys" better than any QA team anyway! the passionate find the holes!

Exactly. You knew that you had to live with the flaw for at least a year unless they recalled the product, which can be incredibly expensive for a company. And they're not going to do that unless the problem made the game totally unplayable.
