You can play as all the nations, including American Samoa!wellyphoenixfan2010-01-27 15:27:16

Not that amazing. Could do that in Road to World Cup '98 (game also had leagues like normal FIFA games, and could play 5v5 indoor). I played as Nauru and won the World Cup.

Oh really? Didn't realise... I think in 2006 that wasn't the case anyway. I was part of the data editing team for this game but wasn't in charge of American Samoa anyway.

I don't think I'll buy it, they f**ked my Fifa 10 MM up, and this game should just be part of Fifa 10.

Unless its absolutely suburb and they're not trying to sell it off for $120.Michael2010-01-27 16:21:27

Reading the improvements some things do sound awesome...

"that each team will play differently at home or away if under CPU control."

Things like that =

Im super excited for this, cant wait. It would be amazing if you could hear the fans chant, but the level of noise by each Countrys fans was decided by how much fans from that country there are at the Stadium, for example England would out-sing Angola in real life so on the game they would sort of have feel more like the home side. Also if each side had a main chant they recorded from a real life game, for example for us it would be (maybe, but not sure) Heading for the top or dada dadada dadadada ALL WHITES, that would be awesome IMO Also if you could before the game, at halftime and after the game give your team instructions in the Locker room and if you actually got to train the side at trainings like for each day you could chose if they rested, trained once, trained twice or did a media thing(press conference) IMO that would be the best game ever.tomrewi2010-01-27 19:38:41

there are improvements like players sitting on the bench instead of it being empty. Also the crowd looks really good in the pics.

You don't know this for sure.

No PC version then?

When the AW's play will we hear the crowd singing "All we want is a decent referee"???

Good point. Imagine if they put NZ fans taking their tops off at 80 minutes!

Or "Who  are Ya?"

"Same old XXX, always cheating" I need to get a job at EA Sports and put the good word in...

This.  Best. Game. Ever!

Had a thought - the game will include every stadium used in S.A. and a set of other stadiums in the world. Logic would tell us this should be at least the qualifiers hence by a slim chance we may see a fully modeled Westpac.

Very optimistic indeed, but hey.

Not a bad thought. In 2006 NZ just played in a generic stadium from memory.

Be pretty epic if it had Yellow seats... but sold out the stadium appears white.

Chances of Westpac would be so slim its not even funny.

What the hell? Make us pay for 2 games in a calendar year instead of one??

Just as in 98, 2002 (actually had 3 games I think) and 2006

they had Westpac in EA Rugby 08 (IIRC) why can't they just transfer it to FIFA ?

Graphics.

yea i guess, but i would rather have it than no rof.

Looks like RoF is in, hopefully not North Harbor stadium.

Wow if thats true thats huge.

Ok, I posted a question in the FIFA Forums on easports site, Apparently it may not be Westpac rather it could be Oceania Generic and have nothing to do with Westpac Stadium. I hope they are wrong.

I hope that doesn't mean we'll qualify against AFC 5th place in a 5000 no seater stadium in the islands somewhere

Mate I bet it will be. If this what I read on the fifa forums is true its poor form by Lazy EA imo.

I think we will

Last WC cup game did not have an NZ stadium. Oceania generic is very much likely. Penalties look awesome, I think i will get this.

OMG !!!!

from  ea uk forums -

I can post it here as well,
In the video in the other thread where you see the 2 people play England VS Germany, they say that the game includes al the 10 world cup stadiums, but also every main home stadium of the world cup contenders ! So that means 32 licensed stadiums!
So that means that , if we can belove those 2, New Zealand and Ghana for example, will have their real stadiums ! Let's hope so !

OMG !!!!

and -

All of the razzmatazz is there, too, with fireworks, confetti, and the new LED ad boards adding to the atmosphere. The FIFA broadcast captions have all been licensed, which means that the matches should have the same feeling whether you're playing them on your console or simply watching the real tournament unfold on TV. Also new are the actual managers for all 199 eligible teams who will bark orders at their teams from the sidelines. And if you take your team through the seven games to go from group stages to the finals of the tournament, you can watch them winning the World Cup as we saw when Humber played a video of England lifting the trophy

OMG !!! R.H IN THE GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RTWC 98 the commentators also said keepers names rather than just 'keeper' or 'goalie'. timmymadden2010-04-08 08:01:35

Demo is out tonight. I have a feeling that teams like American Samoa will have the actual players because I remember a while back EA were looking for people to rate teams like American Samoa.

Anyone looking to get this locally check out www.firstgames.co.nz

They have it for around $85 shipped and have an offer at the moment where if you pre-order any game by next Friday you can get $10 off your next order:

^thats a good site as well. I will most likely get mine from them.

Demo tonight?!?!? God this has crept up on me!

Apparently you'll be able to take your virtual pro from Fifa 10 and use the game to take him to the world cup. Not that I use virtual pro myself.

Anyone heard of the new "two button controls" for noobs? Looks like complete and utter sh*t. Worst idea ever imo. (link)
