Fifa 10

Why is Bertos wearing 15 in that screenshot?

WPF, Torne, I'm looking at you...

EG, I just asked about it then and hope they get back to me soon.

i'm seeing ads on the 442 site that says 'FIFA 10 - in stores now'  ????????

Yeah I think those dirty Aussies got FIFA '10 on the 1st Oct... one day before us!

Hmm, thats a major screw-up but in the database he has had 7 since he joined the Phoenix so I have no idea what has happened here. Probably a transfer error. Tomorrow can someone tell me if it is in the game (On holiday so I can't play it myself) if it is I will see what I can do. What could of happened is that the guy who made the review changed the numbers or he somehow changed it by accident.

If it is like that though you can just change the numbers in the game if you are really that worried, can't you?

Yeah you can.

I CAN'T f**kING WAIT ANY LONGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lets rob an EB Games.

DSE in the Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt say it's in transit and will be available tomorrow. Fri afternoon it's gonna be FIFA friday whilst wearing the Retro Riki for the Fever!! Lonegunmen2009-10-01 14:53:27

Buy it from James at Lower Hutt... Nighthawks player of the season.

Ok since I'm lazy and can't be bothered investigating...

Where can I buy this game in town? I only have a scooter so can't go on the motorway.

EB games would be your best bet, followed by Dick Smith.

there is a patch upon release.

i got it on PC today at dick smith in dunedin.

i know that people have been bashing the pc version big time... it certainly looks a bit dated graphics wise, but it does play surprisingly well so far.

phoenix are looking good player and stat wise - fully up to date (i.e. caceres), accurate formation etc.

The CG stats are different from NG stats and so players are made to suit NG stats so if the CG stats are right it is a coincidence, good in this case that the stats are fine.

JB Hi Fi is usually the cheapest.

Is it worth getting the PS2 version without the ability to patch it?

Might get PC version instead, seeing as I can also play that online.

One major flaw in the unpatched game is that you can take long-finesse shots that will always go in. This was discovered in the demo but of course it was too late to fix so the patch which was released today in Aus fixes this. Also does some transfers i.e Kruse to Melbourne although it does no stat changes.

Also I am looking forward to how the rest of you think we rated the A-League as a whole and players you tihnk we over-rated and under-rated. Of course Paston is under-rated as usual but this is because, as mentioned before, we cannot show his organisational skills in the stats.

Tomorrow at 2pm I should have my copy for my Xbox "Live" and home theatre.

Me! I'll play you! My gamertag is SIVAD KRAM.
My copy is on it's way from Mighty Ape. 'Should' receive it tomorrow!! I'M SO EXCITED!! Averaging 92 on Metacritic! welly_phoenix2009-10-01 22:46:25

No lol. Wellington or any team in the A-League is not big enough to have its own stadium. Hope for a good generic stadium, you can rename stadiums and change the generic stadiums that stadiums have i.e you c oould change Westpac Stadium to a different generic one.

Ok so I should try JBHI for the cheapest one?

I'm looking for PC.

I saw on the DSE site that its cheaper than EB Games by $10.

Yuss got it this morn for PS3

the warehouse has it for $98.

EB Games is $120

Got it couriered to my office today. Had a quick go at it at lunchtime. Doesn't look toooo much different from Fifa 09 but the goalie reactions are certainly impressive (from what I saw). Had a quick look at Phoenix lineup - looks semi accurate at a quick glance. No SONY sponsor on jerseys. Fifa must have got art reference from the club very early on and haven't since updated it. Maybe in an upcoming patch, perhaps...
Looking forward to getting home and giving it a crack tonight. Get my gameface happening in game too.

So for those who have it and are soon to get it some questions...

-What players in the A-League did you feel were over-rated?
-What players in the A-League did you feel were under-rated?
-Were you happy with the Phoenix ratings and the A-League as a whole?

paston wildly overrated - reduced all around skills accordingly.

I seriously hope you are joking.

someone able to post the overall stats for the nix payers and all whites?

I will as the stats are now released through the game. I will do it as I remember them around Sep 1 because there were a few stat changes after this date:

Paston 57
Muscat 57
Durante 61
Sigmund 60
Lochhead 58
McKain 61
Brown 58
Daniel 58
Caceras 58
Costa 56 (Pretty over-rated but his speed puts his overall up)
Ifill 65
Greenacre 62
Bertos 62
Mulligan 55
Rojas 50
Ferrente 55
Crowther 52
Lia 56
Jiang 54
Hearfield 57
Diego 59/60

Some of these could be wrong as I am doing it all by memory.wellyphoenixfan2009-10-02 15:19:58

I will only do major players in AWs that are not in Phoenix:

Nelsen 78
Elliott 60 at CDM and 62 at CM. (I Think)
Smeltz 67
Killen 67
Woods 63/64 not sure exactly.
Fallon 62
McGlinchey 58 at CAM, 61 at LM. (I think)wellyphoenixfan2009-10-02 15:23:19

Diego and hearfield are quite high. Id say crowther is about 1 or 2 a bit too low

I shouldn't have believed this..

Just having a quick go at it, the stadium for the Nix is reasonably close although 50k attendance is a bit on the high side. But looked good with the colours. Our kit looks very good despite the lack of sony etc. Probably looks better to be honest. Xbox 360 Live, oh yes baby. Let's dance!

ps3 >>>>>>>>>>sh*tbox3sh*tty

Remember that this was around Sep 1 when they were doing quite good. Diego was actually put down aswell.

Diego was pretty good and starting but I sold him in Manager mode. Everything else is quite realistic, although Mulligan is highly overrated. And i feel stronger players have a bigger advantage this year compared to speedy ones last year.

Anyone on PS3 add me (Chocnut) and I'll give you a game.
