The Big Announcements

So, the big announcements have been made.

Firstly, and most importantly, Live Season 2.0 has been revealed. Basically, it’s an offline version of Interactive Leagues, where you play your team’s real fixtures in a league populated by the real-life results week by week. For more details, click here.

Secondly, there are some new FIWC details (that’s the FIFA Interactive World Cup that you can enter exclusively on the PS3 version of the game), as well as a few more insights into extra tweaks. Check out Mike Takla’s comments from the EA forums below:

"We’ve not changed FIWC dramatically this year but we’ve done a few things. A couple of those are we’ve removed the lobbies (so it’s quick match only) and maybe the bigger news is we’ve levelled all the teams – so whoever you play with it’s all even. [...] With no lobbies there are no arranged matches (boosting) and we have diminishing returns so if people do somehow arrange fixtures they won’t get points against the same player.
Ronaldo does a stutter PK, you can choose your favourite arena as your default, there’s loads of tutorial videos, we have a new arena messaging feature that’ll give you the latest news (including top players on the leaderboards) and team managment scrolling is faster!

Happy with the news? Disappointed? Confused? EA are asking for feedback on the Live Season 2.0 features, which you can provide using this thread on the EA forums here.

FIFA 10 ON THE IPHONE

We received some early screenshots from EA's upcoming FIFA 10 soccer game for the iPhone. FIFA was announced by EA along with a laundry list of other titles back in March, but we've heard few details since.

The screenshots reveal an analog stick on the left side for player control and A/B buttons on the right side for actions. PocketGamer had some hands on time with an early version of the game and revealed that additional combos by touching and sliding from one button to another, and that specific players can be selected by simply tapping on them.

Meanwhile, TouchArcade's Eli is meeting with EA today and we will reveal more as we are able.

Channelbee.com FIFA 10 Preview Video

 

The lucky boys over at Channelbee.com have got their hands on FIFA 10, and they’ve uploaded a little video preview of the game. It’s unfortunate that the video is so small because somebody - finally - manages to score one of the long-range goals we’ve been raving about since our playtest at the Emirates!

To watch the video, click here. Big thanks to anthony from the forums for spotting this one.

PLAY3-LIVE.COM FIFA 10 GAMEPLAY VIDEO

Play3-Live.com uploaded the above FIFA 10 gameplay footage from Gamescom yesterday. To view the streaming video on their site, click here.

I was finding the site really difficult to access though, with the streaming stopping and starting from the word go - so I spent an hour downloading the high-definition version and uploaded it to our YouTube channel. You should see it at the top of the article. Enjoy!

FIFA 10 PC BE A PRO SCREENSHOTS

Some new FIFA 10 PC screenshots have been found on Facebook of all places by forum member repagel - thanks for letting us know about it.

There’s some interesting things visible, such as the fact that Be A Pro is now called “Be A Pro: Club and Country”. So PC users will be able to be called up to their national team then!
