I am. I can't wait. I really like what they are doing.

[Zlax45]

Same with me...I might be looking forward to it more then NHL 11....

I had some epic Fifa 10 games online H2H and it didn't seem like there was much cheesing going on but maybe that was me.

I'm actually looking forward to PES 2011. FIFA 10 felt pretty much like a tweaked version of 09. I'll try the demo but i'm not sure if i'll buy it this year.

[MizzouRah]

Definitely!

[sportdan30]

Oooh yeah! Can't wait. Demo comes out 9/16/10.

What are they doing this year?

Seems like NHL and NBA Elite are getting more buzz from EA Vancouver for the physics engine.

NBA Elite is going to need a lot more of a physics engine to bring down NBA 2K.

Here is what is being added to Fifa

Authentic Player Personality: Personality + sees a soccer player’s ability on the pitch mirrored authentically in game, creating clearly differentiated players with individual personalities. Personality+ at every position and for every player on the pitch reinvents how players perform – on and off the ball.
360° Fight For Possession —True freedom in man-to-man interactions, transforming physical play from individual lateral jostling to full 360° collisions involving multiple players.
Pro Passing System: A new passing system where pass accuracy is determined by a gamer’s ability on the control pad, and player skill, situation and urgency on the pitch. Poor decisions or over/under striking the ball will mean error-prone outcomes.
Multi Player Celebrations: Celebrating your goals becomes more interactive as your friends can now join in on the action. Interact with other players on your team, joining together in true celebratory fashion.
Career Mode: A new engine delivers an authentic experience that mimics the real-world game. Begin as a real player, created player or Virtual Pro and evolve into a player-manager and manager--or just begin at the top--and enjoy a 15-year career. Players now receive instant feedback and enjoy a vastly improved status system. Featuring new Team Management for simpler player comparison and Friends Leaderboard to compare stats and earnings.
Creation Centre Beta: Go online to craft your own player and create the team of your dreams. Create your player’s appearance, accessories and attributes and then create a team with a distinctive crest and kits. Publish on the web and download onto your console to play online, in Tournaments and in Kick-Off matches. Created players can also be used in the Arena, Career Mode and Lounge Mode.
Custom Music & Audio— Assign customized chants for every team and league. Set your home club’s anthems and chants to play during player introductions, halftime, and after goals. Even hear your name echo in the stands of Old Trafford or San Siro with customized chants for your Virtual Pro. Plus, play music from your hard drive in game.
FIFA Theatre: Save highlights from any match – including online – right to your hard drive to view, replay or upload to Footballworld.com at any time.
Complete Authenticity: 28 officially licensed leagues, over 500 licensed teams and more than 15,000 players.

Are you kidding? Planning to trade my Fifa 10 and WC for it. Here's some gameplay footage.

I don't like human goalies in NHL and it'll probably be worse in FIFA, always out of position, either intentionally or unintentionally.

In my younger years, I remember nobody wanted the keeper position. It was the last position to be filled and usually assigned to the less skilled guy. A welcomed addition to the series, I can see a lot of finger pointing now in OTP, I don't think I'll wear a headset.

FYI...I sold Fifa 10 on Half.com last week for 35 bucks.

I'm not a soccer guy, but I sure wish EA's other sports games had the same great variety of camera choices as FIFA (I'm looking at your Madden and NHL).

In Madden OTP, you get a pretty high camera angle, especially after you throw a long pass downfiel.

FIFA OTP cameras (not the Be a Pro one which locks on a player) is also pretty panoramic.

Well, from what I've seen so far, NHL will be a nice improvement over last year's version.

Yep, I really like the idea of the new passing system. Looking forward to see how it plays out online, or if you will still see a majority of ping pong passing. Thanks for the gamplay video.

I am bored out of my mind without Fifa 10 to play on my 360...I loved doing some H2H online in that more so then NHL!

This is early, if I remember correctly. Usually FIFA is an october release. I could be off base there.

Are you doing just online, still? I may pick this up on the cheap again so I don't pick up NHL 11 to hold me over. (I only really care about DU hockey and not the pro stuff...nothing against the game.)
