FIFA 10 offers brief glimpse of footy-filled gameplay

by David Hinkle { Jul 2nd 2009 at 8:45PM }

EA Sports is ramping up the hype machine for its very crucial FIFA franchise, as it has issued out a new teaser trailer for the latest installment, FIFA 10. Thankfully, it's not your average teaser trailer, as though it is short, it does contain actual gameplay footage. It looks like the one big improvement for this year's version will be bullet time.

I dont know why they wanted to point out how they were showing "Actual Gameplay footage".

To be honest, it didn't look all that impressive

All those extra pixels must really hurt your eyes.

Now now, back to super mario strikers with you...

Because it looks like real soccer

Boring and stale

J.Goodwin @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:24PM

No, it doesn't look like real soccer, which is why it's disappointing.

At least, it doesn't look like real people playing soccer. The moves are right, but the movement's wrong.

Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:31PM

if you took away the lighting (which is easily the best thing in the trailer) you could've convinced me I was looking at Pro Evo 09 on the Wii.

Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:30PM

also, why do the jerseys look like they're made out of 4 polygons (front, back, sleeves)? Where else could they be using the 360's/PS3's power?

Does this game even get advertised in the US? You guys are not really that much into footb... soccer after all.

Love for soccer blooms
Like the new blossoms of spring
Across the pond too

Paul @ Jul 3rd 2009 8:49AM

haha you ever see american soccer? If we could play at the same level as the English Premiership than maybe people would get excited about it. but it's quite boring over here...very slow.

Livi70590 @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:16PM

Why are they calling it FIFA 10? Do 6 of the previous 16 don't count?

Ashitaka @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:29PM

10 = 2010

Get it now?

Angel Mass @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:56PM

Lol, you gotta be kidding right?

right?

oh man...

oOWallaceOo @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:18PM

Although this game looks as though it is shaping up well, I think I will wait for FIFA World Cup 2010 game. For some reason I always like the tournament FIFAs better than the yearly rehashs

Owyn @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:24PM

Looks awesome.

Ashitaka @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:28PM

It looks the same as 09 :/

And let's see if this time there are no trophies that require buying 'DLC' for the game. Although this is EA we're talking about...

Mazrael @ Jul 3rd 2009 10:43AM

Dunno.. that goalie looked more convincing than the cheating begger of 09

ddub @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:32PM

what's with all the slo mo. it looks like just video. who plays the game from those camara angles.

The problem with fifa is always the same. The players move like morons. They act like they don't know what they are doing. Like a keeper that let's a cross trickle in front of him or a guy who never runs into the clearly open space. as someone put it the moves are right it's the movement that's always wrong.

MaliceMajorE15 @ Jul 2nd 2009 9:31PM

i dont care. i dont want bullet time. end of story. otherwise ill just stick to PES. its more realistic anyway

Angel Mass @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:00PM

Same here, its cool the FIFA brings the brands and official names and everything, but Winning Eleven (Or PES) its more enjoyable to me

MrXile @ Jul 3rd 2009 5:51AM

lol - the comments under the video are taking the piss.
Did you take it seriously?

Dude.... chill. Football = NO BULLET TIME.
FIFA = NO BULLET TIME.

Its just a special effect for the video.

DOh :D

As for actual footage.... crap.
Like every year, the actual footage video's before release generally tend to be over photoshopped and the likes, smoothed to high heaven.

FIFA 10 looks much like FIFA 09, only ever so slightly smoother.

MaliceMajorE15 @ Jul 3rd 2009 6:58AM

@MrXile i dont know if you remember but they were toying with the idea last year on using slo-mo for one on ones and set pieces and stuff. that why i think this might actually be true.

asdf @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:07PM

FIFA sucks
i've tried everyone of them since '96 and hated them since 2000

DTNeotericDope @ Jul 2nd 2009 10:25PM

I can't bring myself to buy another Fifa. They're practically the same each year with the exception of some minor change, but most of the time they're pointless to shell out full game price for them. I think they should of just kept Fifa 09 kept up with Roster Updates, gave some cool DLC for it, and all we be good. We don't need another reiteration every year on every sports game. They may be cash cows, but all in all it's not necessary.

dante's_apprentice @ Jul 2nd 2009 11:46PM

You are kidding right? Updates for my Fifa??? Fifa is the Madden of the rest of the world, if you dont like it, dont play it.

DTNeotericDope @ Jul 3rd 2009 1:09AM

If you're speaking to me get a clue. I never said I didn't like it. It's one of my favorite games, but I'm sick of the year to year releases. Of course I don't have to buy them, but maybe EA should support their sports franchises better. Every Madden since 06' has sucked. Not worth the time of day. It's just the same old story. So if you're happy with shelling out full price each year for the same game then you're a stupid consumer. But those are the people EA loves.

Bobs @ Jul 3rd 2009 1:31AM

I like how the jerseys are from the previous year.

Monkey Madness @ Jul 3rd 2009 12:00PM

Bearing in mind alot of the teams will have the same kits next season (Arsenal definatly have the same home kit) I'm not suprised also not all the teams have released their new kit yet (Manchester United for one only just showed it off for the first time two days ago and it isn't going to be worn by a United team until the 18th of July iirc)

Also it wasn't just kits that hadn't been updated, the players hadn't either, Benzema (the Lyon player is now a Real Madrid player).

I wouldn't look too much into this I'd say alot of the finishing touches ie the kits, squads etc. woun't be put in place until the last couple of weeks of development.
