2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa hopes to change that. As a World Cup game, it's defined to some extent by what it doesn't have (300 domestic clubs, most obviously), but EA Sports has compensated by drawing up several interesting and varied game modes, and uses the legendary status of World Cup shoot-outs as an excuse to rethink penalties.
Today was footie day at GameSpot HQ, as developers from EA Canada came by to show off two of the company's big soccer releases for this year: 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and the latest edition of the Ultimate Team feature for last year's FIFA 10. I've got some thoughts and observations on both games, but if you want a more complete look at World Cup, check out GameSpot UK's hands-on preview of the game.
2010 World Cup South Africa - It might not be a back-of-the-box feature, but this year's World Cup game has something that no previous FIFA game has seen: women. If you look closely during game introduction, you'll see ladies in the mix who are supporting their favorite teams among the guys wearing jester hats or brightly colored Mohawks. For whatever reason, people go nuts when they see girls at World Cup games, so it's nice to see EA is including the fairer sex this time around.
- While I didn't spend a lot of time playing last year's FIFA 10, I like what I've seen of 2010 World Cup's evolution of the FIFA engine. Consider a situation I experienced during my hands-on time with the game: Playing as Japan (against Cameroon, who was being controlled by EA Canada producer Luke Didd), I gave up a goal I'd never seen in a soccer game before. After my goalkeeper made a wonderful diving block to stop an otherwise certain goal, the ball bounced off his hands and just in front of him. My center half--who was nearby--collapsed down near the ball and over the keeper as he lay on the ground. Desperate to kick the ball free, I tried to move my defenseman close enough to the ball, but his legs were tangled up in the crumpled form of my keeper, which gave the Cameroon striker just enough time to get to the ball and knock in the go-ahead goal. Sure, I was angry at giving up the goal, but the game's attention to the physics of how bodies interact on the pitch was surely impressive.
- The "Battle of Nations" feature stands intact from previous international tournament games, which were first seen in UEFA Euro 2008. It is a metagame that assesses which nation--among the 199 national teams that were eligible to qualify for the 2010 World Cup--has the most serious FIFA skills. Playing the game will earn you points for your favored nation, but you won't need to play as your country of choice in order to earn points. So with that said, fellow Americans, let's plan on loading up Brazil online and never looking back!
FIFA has become the dominant football series on the PlayStation Portable, thanks in part to the release of FIFA 10 last year. Now, less than six months later, 2010 FIFA World Cup has arrived, and while it adds little in the way of meaningful improvements to its predecessor, it does a good job of re-creating the excitement of the competition. Don't expect to see anything here that you haven't before--all the game modes are well-trodden FIFA staples with a World Cup twist, while the gameplay tweaks are minimal. 2010 FIFA World Cup is ultimately a good game that offers an authentic World Cup experience, but perhaps one only for diehard fans of the tournament.
2010 FIFA World Cup focuses completely on the international competition, meaning you can play only as the 199 national teams that entered qualification. On the most basic level, you can set up single matches between any sides, playing either as the entire team or as a single player. If you want a longer challenge, you can take your favourite team through qualifying and to the tournament itself, with the aim of lifting the coveted trophy. The World Cup carnival atmosphere is captured well--menus are colourfully presented, the in-game visuals are vibrant, and the soundtrack features plenty of South African-inspired music. You can also tweak any aspect of the groups if you want to live out an alternative tournament or change history if your favourite real-life team never made it through to the finals.
There are some small tweaks to the gameplay in 2010 FIFA World Cup, but they're minimal. A new feature called "golden moments" rewards you for controlling the flow of the game, and there's a momentum meter at the bottom of the screen highlighting your progress. If you build up the necessary momentum, you can use the D pad to unleash a specific boost, choosing from general, keeper, offensive, and defensive. The general boost adds a small performance gain to all of your players, while the others are much more focused, offering a major boost for your keeper or top five defensive or offensive players. This feature adds a bit of excitement and unpredictability that feels right within the World Cup theme without drastically unbalancing the game, although seeing your opponent use the keeper boost in the dying minutes of a game can be annoying. More substantial are the new corner kicks and free kicks, which allow you more control over the spin and direction of the ball after you've taken the kick. Using an onscreen guide, you can direct the arc of the ball more accurately, which makes free kicks more effective but not unfairly so, because you still need a world-class player for pinpoint accuracy. Aside from these small additions, though, this is much the same game as FIFA 10.
There are many other small features that help flesh out the game, and lots of items are available if you delve into the menus. You earn points across most of the various game modes, with which you can buy new items in the store, such as balls, stadiums, and classic teams. You can also take time out and head to the practice arena to try out the new corners and free kicks. There are nice presentational touches, such as a spinning globe on the main menu that changes colour to show the teams you've beaten from around the world. The soundtrack contains 25 songs and mixes upbeat pop, such as Florence and the Machine, with traditional African music, such as Rocky Dawuni, and if you don't like the music, you can drop in your own MP3s from a Memory Stick. The game also provides facts in the loading screens, including World Cup trivia in exhibition matches and scouting reports before tournament games.
With an authentic World Cup experience layered over a great gameplay foundation, 2010 FIFA World Cup is well worth checking out if you're a fan of the competition. That said, it doesn't try to reinvent the wheel; most of the game modes are adapted from existing ones, while very minor changes to gameplay mean it plays a very similar game to FIFA 10. This lack of innovation results in a game that isn't essential, especially if you own FIFA 10, but if you must have an accompaniment to the World Cup, then you'll have a lot of fun with the official game.
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa is the official video game for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, published by EA Sports[1] and available on iOS and all major seventh-generation platforms except the Nintendo DS. Announced in January 2010 during an interview with one of the producers of the game, it was released 27 April 2010 in North America.[1] 199 of the 204 teams that took part in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification are included in the game.
EA has also announced that the "Captain Your Country" mode will return, similar to the "Be a Pro" mode[5] and that FIFA 10 owners can import their Virtual Pro for this purpose and then earn CYC Accomplishments and attribute boosts.[5] The game's penalty kick mechanism has been changed for their outcome to better reflect the player's own composure. In addition, the game's online multiplayer lobby system has been limited to unranked head-to-head matches.[5] As in 2006 FIFA World Cup, a "scenario" mode is included with 55 playable scenarios from past World Cup matches. Scenarios from the 2010 World Cup are also playable with an online update.[6]
The included teams were confirmed by Electronic Arts on 17 February 2010.[8] The game contains 199 of the 204 national teams that took part in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification phase. Electronic Arts stated that they have included every team that FIFA have permitted them to use, with some others not being allowed for "various reasons".[8] The five teams that were in the draw for World Cup qualifying but are not included in the game are the Central African Republic, Eritrea and São Tomé and Príncipe from Africa and Asian teams Bhutan and Guam. All five withdrew from the qualifying stage before it began. Additionally, the game does not feature Brunei, Laos, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines, who did not participate in World Cup qualification.
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa was in development for 12 months,[10] and had two separate teams working on it: gameplay team and core team. The gameplay team was led by Gary Patterson, the creative director for FIFA games. Meanwhile, the core team designed the game modes and audio/visual presentation, among other things. EA Sports wanted to shape World Cup in a way that it would be able to match FIFA 10. They decided to release it as a standalone game, rather than downloadable content, citing the size, scope and the uniqueness of the covered event.[11]
The game was announced on 26 January 2010, in a GameSpot interview with the line producer of the game, Simon Humber,[1] with a slated release date for 27 April 2010 in North America, and 30 April 2010, in Asia and Europe.[2] 2ff7e9595c
