A more balanced review..

http://www.nowgamer.com/reviews/xbox-360/9157/2010-fifa-world-cup

Still gives it a good score but says what is still wrong...

"Firstly, chipped shots. Spending merest seconds in the murky, underhand world of competitive online play last time around, nobody can have failed to notice the ease with which keepers could be lobbed in FIFA 10. Whether due to absent-minded number ones dawdling on their six-yard lines or simply their ease of execution, trouble was afoot the moment any player went clean through. To sort this troublesome problem out, EA sadly hasn’t retooled goalkeeping AI but simply made the controls associated with chipping a significant degree more difficult. The result is undeniably more balanced, although the prospect of a howler from the man between the sticks remains as likely as before."

This is exactly what's wrong at EA they never solve problems they just find ways to move round it.

1v1's should be hard to CREATE not to SCORE. 1v1's in real life probably get scored 80% of the time.... the problem is its too easy to get a 1v1 in the first place in Fifa...

I partly agree. It should be hard to create 1-on-1's. However it should also be really hard to pull off those chip goals and it was one of the solutions I remember posting here after the release of 10. Glad to see that a logical and footballing solution was found.

The goalie AI did seem to be altered aswell when I played the demo, although I never try chipshots anyway.

Not working for me.
 
Yeah it's out in some places already. I think Honduras was first followed by several places in US selling it already.

Tell us more....Tell us more....like does he have a car? shallywap wap shallywapwap WAHHHH!

.....seriously, let us know your thoughts big man? :))
 
One thing im loving is the atmosphere of games, like u can really tell that ure playing in south america or in europe.. the sounds and evan the lighting are spot on...

Ask me what ud like to know, gameplay wise its really no diferent from the demo, except it feels slower(could be because we dont need to play 2mim games)

I also just played a game at bolivia to see the high altitude effects, the balls surely travels faster(harder shoots) and the real time stamina bar(light blue) definatly goes down quicker. kind of cool.
 
It has to be slower than the demo, because it was way too fast, maybe because of the short halves..

No confetti is a welcome addition, or at least we should be able to switch this off.

I do not believe that FIFA will allow this confetti thing..

Undeniable.

Crap AI and that's what it is. The downfall of the FIFA series.




Shame most games reviewers seem inept at their job in response the reviews above 8/10. 10/10? Give me a break.

I suppose you shouldn't listen to them as one user alluded to, after all what kind of skills and qualifications entitle you to be a good games reviewer?
 
From Eurogamer.

"There are practical considerations too, like the way the game tracks form. For example, if Wayne Rooney begins the World Cup injured and the mighty Peter Crouch scores a few goals in his absence, it may suit you to stick with the little fellow even when Rooney is declared fit, as the Spurs and England striker's form may give him the edge."


That sounds good. Probably sounds a lot better than it actually is.


I want to want to buy this game but i want it not to be anywhere near as simplistic as Fifa 10 is and something tells that isn't going to be the case.

Thanks a bunch Brunnoce!

Seems like the list has been thrown together in haste by someone who knows jack shit about Japanese football though: no Hasebe, Ishikawa, Koroki, Ono, Ogasawara, Kashiwagi and Morimoto...

besides, Takahara Naohiro? Like...seriously? He hasn't been called up for the national team in like 2 years unless I'm mistaken, his performances were disgraceful last year (and I'm saying this as Urawa Red Diamonds supporter...) and He has yet to show up in the starting 11 for his Club this season, what a fucking joke lol.

...hopefully we'll get an update during/after the actual World Cup.

Me! Mine is the one that matters to me. Same applies to you. You will read people saying good things and bad things about the game but all that matters is what you think yourself!

That so hard to understand without resorting to insults?!

Each video makes this game seem worse than the previous one. That Honduras-Spain match was a farse of football simulation with all the glaring flaws we knoe the game has, being deffensive AI and positional play as good as in a Street soccer game. As long as they doon't sit and try to actually work in this instead of confetti the game will remain hollow.

PLEASE

thanks in advance ;)
 
And a quick Yes or No if Wales have their official kit would be appreciated. It's made by Champion at the moment. I don't care about sock tape, nets and all that stuff but if I have to play as Wales in a generic kit, it will annoy me :)
 
How have the goalies been, and how does the AI deal with your goalie running out?

Tried it yesterday in the demo to deliberatly recreate the settings, 1-on-1's, that woul dhave resulted in a chip in 10 and of the 3 times I managed it all shots were low and towards the corner.

Although I tried a chip shot against the AI and it went in, far too easily. I would be very worried if I played online.

How is the pressure? Is it once again far too high?

Maybe a quick look at some top euro teams to see the pressure stat. They were at 70 in 10. If I remember correctly I needed to edit them down to 30 just to make it more realistic.
