One of the most anticipated game release of the summer, FIFA10 is about to hit the streets in a couple of months. So what is new in this game that we can expect? Did they fix the bugs? Are the players moving more realistically? Can we still see Ronaldo’s mole when he is celebrating a goal? Here are some changes we can expect from EA’s most popular game.



Innovative Player Control
360º Dribbling

The first-ever true 360° dribbling system in a football game gives you precise control to skillfully play spaces between defenders that previously were not possible.

-Imagine the defender’s face when you spin past them for the 3rd consecutive time.


Innovative Player Control
Skilled Dribbling

Advanced animation warping technology lets skilled players face defenders and maneuver around them with highly-responsive lateral dribbling, just like the game's
legends.

-Think of Ronaldo, Robinho, and Torres etc.

New Practice Arena

Work on individual skills in a fully featured practice mode before stepping on the pitch. Select exactly how many attackers and defenders you want in play, and practice set pieces.

-Now you can have 2v3, 5v2, or even a 1 v 5 match up to practice your skills. Something they should have done with earlier versions.




Customisable Set Pieces

Design and record your very own dead ball moves on the training ground for use on match day to outwit your opponent. You have complete control over your players, with the ability to assign a specific role and movement to every outfield player on your team one at a time, and then combine them for the perfect set piece.




-Ever wanted to ghost in behind a defender when your team have a free kick like Ruud Van Nistelrooy? Now you can!

Improved Trapping Intelligence

Players now have a better awareness of where the easiest, most natural trapping position is so they can get the ball on the ground and under control easier and earlier.

- The amazing 1st to of Messi and Berbatov, now shown step by step in FIFA 10

At Halftime, the Arsenal team practiced their jumping skills with Berbatov.

here are many other features; here are the best of them:

•  Pre-season friendlies will be introduced to the next-gen versions of the game, which will be organized by the club's assistant manager for a chance to flatten out any wrinkles in a club's lineup before the domestic season begins.
•  A Live Season feature has been implemented within Manager Mode. As players' forms rise and fall based on performance (within Manager Mode itself, not real-world events), players will receive a temporarily higher or lower rating along with temporarily higher or lower stats to implicate the authenticity of player form.
•  The fatigue of players will be more authentic and realistic, eliminating the problem in which lower-level teams suffer from incredibly low energy levels throughout a series of matches. (Thank God for this!)
• > Total Football Experience will be a new feature in which football news around the Manager Mode world will be visible, including player transfers, fixtures and results in foreign leagues.
•  A new mode which has been revealed is the "Set-Piece Creator". Using this, runs can be assigned to specific players for different directions. It is not known yet whether this will be available on online play, as revealed by producer David Rutter.

With so many new features and improvements, it is no wonder that many players cannot wait for the release of FIFA10. EA will release a demo soon, and gamers would get to test how FIFA 10 would be like. Here are some useful links for the readers who would like to know more:
