FIFA man bigs up 360-degree control (Eurogamer)

[hdaniel1]

Eurogamer has the scoop.

"The move away from traditional eight-direction play was flagged up as this season's headline addition during the game's unveiling at the terminally trophyless Arsenal's Emirates Stadium back in April. And Rutter admitted the team was "really worried that it was going to freak people out the first time they played it.""

Nice! I can't wait for FIFA 10. FIFA 09 is amazing.

Wow, a not-so-subtle dig at Arsenal in the quote. But "terminally trophyless"? It's been what, four years? Anyways, it will be very interesting to see how the 360 & skilled dribbling plays out. If we can avoid the charging defender as we should be able to, perhaps people will have no choice but to play more realistic positional defense... or get torched.
