2010 FIFA World Cup Q&A (Gamespot)

[mdbussen]

I'll agree that a lot of this should be a FIFA 10 patch but I'm really excited that a lot of what they claim to have fixed encompasses some of the most annoying stuff in the otherwise great gameplay of FIFA 10!

Quote:

* New chest traps that allow you to chest the ball in the direction you want to go rather than having to take midair touches after a chest to change direction. * Defensively players will now clear an aerial ball rather than do a chest trap first when you are asking for a clearance. * Improved the "narrowing down the angle" logic so the keeper doesn't come out so soon and so far, making him vulnerable to the chip shot. * Added more skill moves for the CPU to use depending on a player's flair attribute or trait. * Improved marking for when the CB pushes up to the ball possessor when he shouldn't, leaving the team vulnerable to an easy through ball and 1-on-1 with the GK. * Added chest and shoulder passes. * Lowered the likelihood of the CPU scoring from FKs--they were too good.

Can't wait to try this out if even half of these are true... the presentation/graphics look great in the screenshots too!

Great interview. Sounds like it's going to be a great game. Hopefully the improvements haven't made them change things that were working well.

Day 1 purchase for me!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

I might buy this day 1 as well. Always liked the FIFA WC games more than the regular FIFA games. Oh how I wish they would add an indoor mode like was in the '98 version.
