Downloading for PS3 now. Can't wait.

Anyone who has it for both 360 and PS3, care to post the differences?

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

Can someone let me know if Be a pro cam is in this game? Normally they don't put it in the Euro and WC games. If it isn't , it's a definite pass. Thanks, Brian

Yup you can even import your FIFA 10 player. It's called "Captain Your Country" here.
There's also a Story of Qualifying mode to replay games.

+ Presentation is nice.
+ Great animation.
+ Great atomsphere.

- Everything feels too loose.
- Too fast on default. It's better on slow but still a bit too fast I think. Between that and the loose feeling it's more like hockey playing on default.
- Commentary sounds really,really bad like it's over an old radio,as already mentioned.
- Slowdown on replays. (PS3 version)

? Who's supposed to clean up the confetti? Is it going to be on the field for the whole game in the real one?
? Bad refs maybe. I'm not entirely up on soccer rules so not sure.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

I really wish EA would get the replays to look decent. All the presentation, confetti, crowd scenes, etc. all seem pointless since they run at such a poor frame rate. This was on the PS3. Is the presentation this choppy on the 360? Rest of it's killer though. The game just feels better. (played on Slow).

DL'ing now. Despite all the soccer in my background, I never really was much of a FIFA player... I ALWAYS buy the World Cup editions though. Nothing better that this tourny every four years; gotta love it.

I'll play it after I work out here... hopefully I like it, lol.

Gonna DL the PS3 Demo when I get home. Played a bit of the 360 version before work. Lost to Spain 3-1.

Going to play PS3 verion to see any differences.

I think the looseness and the speed make it feel much more like PES.

This game is off the hook. I can immediately see upgrades from FIFA. Graphics are beautiful and the game just flows smoother.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

The demo is very enjoyable.

I agree that slow is still too fast. I really don't see any speed difference between normal and slow.

Some of the defenders are way too aggressive but that has been a fault on many FIFAs.

I can't wait until this game comes out and I soldify my place as the world's worst FIFA player.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

love the graphics. the freedom of the controls are excellent.the pace is picked up which i love. shots have a lot more umph to them best fifa game play to date imo. there are more errant passes by the cpu also .more unpredictablity which is great, more is needed but great to see progress(hope to see more in fifa 11) the defense is more fair you can clear the ball out with power and distance one time clearances are improved. love the directional chest control, overall excellent improvements. hope to see these changes in fifa 11 just a tweak more freedom with the controls and we will be golden.

I am loving this game.I dig the world map menu.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

One thing I did not like is those automatic free kick goals are still in. Meaning if you commit a foul anywhere near the box, it's gonna be a goal nearly every time.

Downloading for PS3 now. Can't wait.

Anyone who has it for both 360 and PS3, care to post the differences?

I tried both the 360 and PS3 versions last night for quite a while.

Firstly, the overall flow of the game feels improved more natural - better close control of the ball if you use slow dribble but still the option of bursting past a player with a flick of the right stick and sprint button. The control feels more polished and the passing a little more varied. Tip go into controller options menu to change the controller from assisted shooting and passing to "semi" or even "manual".

I find the comparisons between the 360 and PS3 versions are exactly the same as Fifa 10 - the game looks a little better on 360 (more solid feeling) slightly better looking textures and a little more polished. Cut scenes are slightly less jerky than on PS3 but still not perfect - some are fine crowd scenes etc. However, the game just controls better on PS3 and I don`t think it is just using a different controller - it feels sharper, more responsive and more fluid.

I felt the same about Fifa 10 - looked better o 360 but felt better on PS3. I usually buy multi-format on 360 Madden / NFL etc as the 360 version usually just shades it graphics wise (on multi-format titles) and personally thought Madden and NHlL were better on 360 having tried both. So no bias here - I just keep the best version on whichever console that is.

Didn`t really want to get the game but the World Cup is such an event and this game does look like it will be very good - Oh Dear !

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

having just bought Euro 08 for $3.99, I am not inclined to make this a day one
purchase. Maybe when there is a sale.

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup Demo Available Now, Post Impressions Here

Meh. Ah yes the EA FIFA cash machine that is their WC editions. I'd be very leery, as all of the World Cup editions have sucked pretty hard since WC 98. Don't fall for the confetti!!!

Holy Jeezus, did anyone else have stuttering with the match intro and horrible slowdown with replays on the PS3 version? Utterly pathetic if they feel this is acceptable in the final release...

I see very little improvement over FIFA 10. But then again it's awfully hard to tell with the two minute match halves they give you in the demo.
