The fact that I am still playing video games at the age of 32-years-old is not too old right.
I would like to think being “young at heart”, that’s all that matters, haha.
Looks like I’m adding 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa as games I’ve to buy. Soccer fans do not miss this game, it’s coming out really soon. Get it boys!
Boys will be boys what …
The presentation looks impressive man, EA Sports sure have come a long way since the 90′s with it’s ‘FIFA World Cup’ game series.
You know what, I wish my job was that of a video game tester or reviewer. That would be so cool man! Being paid to do what I love and endlessly at it for hours on end.
I would think if I was attached, the girlfriend would right about now snigger at the mere mention of video games by her gaming obsessed boyfriend, keke.
Well I just don’t know why boys are crazy over video games, and soccer. It’s just wired in all of us. Hey how about a compromise. We don’t make fuss when you’re away shopping, and in return let us be, nag-free, with the dudes on soccer weekend, or guys night out.
We need our space woman.
Video Review
Gameplay
Players choose a team from the 199 nations available and compete against the computer or against other players through online gaming services PlayStation Network or Xbox Live. All 10 official World Cup stadiums are available for play.
EA has announced that there will be gameplay improvements over FIFA 10, such as a higher rate of player fatigue for matches at higher altitudes, with an advantage to a home team who plays at a higher altitude against an away team who does not. EA have also announced that players can get injured outside of international matches.
EA has also announced that the “Captain Your Country” mode will return, and that FIFA 10 owners can import their Virtual Pro for this purpose, and then earn CYC Accomplishments and attribute boosts.
The game’s penalty kicks have been changed in order for their outcome to better reflect the player’s own composure. As in 2006 FIFA World Cup a “scenario” mode will be included with 55 playable scenarios from past World Cup matches.
Teams and venues
The included teams were confirmed by Electronic Arts on 17 February 2010.
The game contains 199 of the 204 national teams that took part in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification process.
Electronic Arts stated that they have included every team that FIFA have permitted them to use, with some others not being allowed for “various reasons”.
The five teams that were in the draw for World Cup qualifying but are not included in the game are African teams Central African Republic, Eritrea, and São Tomé and Príncipe, and Asian teams Bhutan and Guam.
All five withdrew from the qualifying stage before it began. Additionally, the game will not feature Brunei, Laos, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines who did not participate in World Cup qualifying.
The game includes all 10 venues used at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as well as stadiums from each qualifying region and a range of “generic” stadiums.
