2010 FIFA World Cup Q&A (Gamespot)

[Steve_OS]

Gamespot has posted a Q&A with 2010 FIFA World Cup Line Producer, Simon Humber.

Quote:

Gamespot: "What's the main aim for FIFA World Cup 2010 in terms of gameplay and AI improvements? Are there any control changes we need to know about?" Simon: "The game is not just about visuals, though. The gameplay has over 100 enhancements--some major, others subtle--so players will notice a difference in how World Cup plays compared to FIFA. So here are just a few of the improvements you'll get in World Cup. We'll talk about other aspects of gameplay closer to release."

Wow, lots of improvements!

Yup, good interview. Several things there we were hoping to see fixed from 09 to 10, but at least they're in now.

I didn't buy FIFA this year, but I'll definitely get this... love the little improvements, and I LOVE trying to get to and win the World Cup!

Improved marking for when the CB pushes up to the ball possessor when he shouldn't, leaving the team vulnerable to an easy through ball and 1-on-1 with the GK.

While I understand that you have to control most aspects of your defense, having the rest of your backline and even mids react and help out and not be brain dead would be welcome.

Truly most of this list should've been in a patch for FIFA 10.

True.

I'm getting this. I'm a sucker for the UEFA Euro and WC games. Presentation seems to be almost always better as well.

Hopefully they (EA) will address most of the gameplay issues from '10 for the WC game and then use their time to fix the bugs in Manager Mode for FIFA '11
