FIFA Soccer 10 Hands On Previews (Eurogamer, IGN)

[poster]

Foul slider easily pleases any type of gamer. It does make too much sense sadly. More fouls, especially now with set piece creation being added to the game.

Seriously, I tell Blax all the time. The amount of time we have spent with FIFA off & online would make me very happy to go up there and have a go with it. The only thing about sliders is that once you get 'em you're liable to get trapped into slider hell with all the tweaking.

Lack of 360 movement really makes you exploit CPU AI and positioning. Instead of being able to move your player diagonally you will move him at 90 degrees, hit LB to stop moving, and then change direction all while the defender keeps churning along (unless they are a quality human player and strafes)

I don't think they're afraid of fouls, it was more just that they were not programmed right in old versions, and the team is now working to correct it. And David said multiple times that fouling was essentially broken in the 70 percent done version I played in Vancouver on Monday, so it's hard to even gauge them yet. (My preview is coming late today, and I can also answer some of the community questions.)

Is your preview up? I have been dying to read it all day.

Ended up just holding it for tomorrow so I can post the FIFA Wii and FIFA current-gen previews at the same time (FIFA Wii was embargoed until Thursday).

Ok, thanks for the quick response!

Chase, make sure they focus on the definition of gameplay levels. There was such a huge gap between Professional and World Class - it just didn't add up to a constantly challenging (and enjoyable) game for the offline guys.
