Game Face technology and server loads crumple the launch weekend of FIFA 10...
EA discovered the perils of releasing unfinished features in a finished game across the launch weekend of FIFA 10. Attempts to use the Game Face technology or Live Season 2.0 failed abjectly, with servers allegedly struggling to keep up with the sheer demand.
Players struggled to log-in to the website www.easportsfootball.co.uk, and on the rare occasion when the editor was actually available, problems such as editing or saving meant that a lot of disgruntled customers were intensifying the heat in EA's official forums across the weekend.
Despite the feature being released as a beta, the fact remains that FIFA is a mainstream title and as such brings an audience not particularly familiar with such terms and what it necessarily means.
The latest forum update provides some information, but doesn't exactly give a clear estimation on when everything will be available. TVG has contacted EA to try and get an update on the situation, but our calls have yet to be returned.

How can you give gameplay a %95 when any player knows any other players location in the pitch? (playing Manual) ex. If you are a defender facing to your goalkeeper and want to pass to a winger, the pass always goes to the foot of the winger, like the defender knows his location exactly. Everyone is passing like Messi, shoots are really bad, ball physics have really nothing to mention. Every attack is the same with the AI, they just run to empty spaces. Go watch a real football game and see if something like this really happens?. Even in Legendary, when you understand this, you should't concede any more goals. Any opposition defender can take the ball from even the strongest attackers 1to1. There's no chance without a "trick" to pass a defender. This is not realistic either. Graphics are really bad, especially faces. The only good thing is the atmosphere. So please, rate it correctly. It's a 6/10 game, nothing more.

well, all I can say is I'm glad I only rented Fifa 10 - the gameplay is promising and if this were a tech demo I'd be excited - but the bugs and stunning lack of polish (for example, the commentary constantly lacks context and even contradicts itself from blurb to blurb)
I have to raise an eyebrow when I see it merits a perfect score here, some fairly low standards wouldn't you say? What would a game without bugs in major features garner? 11/10 mayhaps?

Come on, EA is paying too much for the rating. Fifa can never compare to PES in gameplay.

Cant believe EA pays all this money to buy reviews. They do it in the games shops too.They pay to be charted at number 1!!
