Report: FIFA 10 moves 2.2 million units in the UK
5
FIFA 10 has already found its way into 2.2 million UK homes, making it competition for the "biggest-selling game in the series so far," according to an MCV UK report. With today's earlier announcement of a free-to-play FIFA and the recent unveiling of FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa, and now this, we're quite considering naming it "FIFA Week" here on Joystiq.
And we're willing to bet that EA Sports marketing manager Trevor Uzice would be a big fan of that, especially considering he believes that "there's no denying FIFA 10 is the best football game ever." While we're not sure that the (admittedly impressive) sales numbers corroborate his sentiments, it's always nice to see marketing putting its most outlandish spin on any piece of news.

I'm not a soccer fan (or football for everybody else), but I really enjoy FIFA 10. It's a really good sports title. I kinda wish I waited a little longer for FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa, but I can't change it.

I feel sorry for the ones that brought it on the Wii. Full price for 1\4 of the content. And they complain about their titles not selling on the Wii, wonder why.

The poor support they have offered after the games release is insane.
The Manager Mode does not work. Period. After 2, 3 or 4 seasons (depending on how lucky you are), the game will inevitability give you a overall balance of -2 billion. That is one of the 70+ confirmed bugs in Manager Mode alone.
The 10v10 club mode does not work. Except for the obvious constant disconnections, no teams get any points anymore. You just get negativ, no matter if you win or loose.
The gameplay is obviously messed up. The goalies will EVERY SINGLE TIME come off the goalline when an opponent comes through on goal, which will let him lobb your keeper every single time.
The game is just riddled with bugs and faults, yet EA refuses to do anything about it. But since they've already gotten hundreds of millions from us already, what do they care. They'll promote these bug fixes as major parts of the next game and foot a bunch of people thinking it's actually a much better game. It's like they're holding back fixes so they have some stuff left to do for the next game.
