FIFA 2010 for the Wii used pretty much exactly the same system as the Wolrd Cup game, by the way. Every review I read seemed to trash it, so I skipped, even though I thought it looked interesting - I mean, I like the idea of a more arcade / exaggerated version of soccer. Interesting to read somebody finally say some good stuff about it though... anybody else?

Anyone tried the PSP version? I'll be getting a free copy sometime this week because I just bought a Go. I take it that this will be based off the PS2/Wii/PC version? Does this mean that it'll have very few of the recent changes the PS3/360 series has had?

Target will have it for $47 starting tomorrow and Gamestop.com has it for $49.99 with a $10 credit on a future purchase.
I'd be down for a GAF tourney (360). I'm not that good, but I am liking the game.
I hope that update has Edson Buddle. I want to tear it up with a Buddle/Altidore Front-Line-of-Death.
On PS3 this seems especially laggy, probably a combination of not as many people picking up the game and that I live in California. It seems like the game doesn't matchmake on connection quality, but just on next available game? I'd rather wait a while for a good ping than this. It's unfortunate that it seems like people can't quit even out of an incredibly laggy game without getting a loss. There should be a couple minute grace period, or something - as around ten percent of the games I've tried to play were basically unplayable (less than half speed), 25% were extremely laggy - maybe only 10% of my games have seemed lagless - it's damn frustrating (maybe it's better online with the 360?). And I only picked this up because I was craving some online competition

Hm. I have the PS3 version as well. And maybe 10 percent of my games are lagging and I only had 1 game which was unplayable. I have another problem though. Its probably the fault of my internet provider but I can only start about every 10th or 20th random game only.
Sucks mightily. Join, start game, wait. Cant connect. Rince. Repeat.
Edit: Oh fun times. Also in one match during the game the game froze on a scene where the fans were celebrating. Neither of us wanted to quit in fear of the loss... Hum. Well took a while to find the winner of that game.

It sounds to me like a NAT problem... you're probably on a strict NAT so you can only play against other people with a strict NAT. You want to be on open NAT, then you can play with everybody, I think. I'm not sure how you change that though (I'm sure somebody here knows).
jlevel13 said:
How? How? How? I tried quite a few things but nothing worked. i would be very thankful if someone could elaborate. I'll be researching though later if noone can share
And thanks for the hint.
2San said:Yeah, it's pretty easy to do, but it differs for each router. So the router model and brand are needed.And what's the best course of action depends on how many consoles you have hooked up to the net.
I guess Easybox a601 wont tell you much. Lets just assume I have my PS3 hooked up to the net and basically the only console I regularly use to play online. Plus my Notebook of course.
I would be glad for any kind of advice.
Go to http://192.168.0.1 (username and pass should be admin///admin unless you changed or the companies default is something else) not sure how yours looks like but go to firewall(or something else) and find something called DMZ.Toma said:I guess Easybox a601 wont tell you much.

If your IP is dynamic just put that in Public IP Address and put in the ip your PS3(should be listen somewhere in the menu of the PS3) it should look like: 192.168.0.10x and put that in Client PC IP Address. Press Add, Apply or something similar. Be sure to enable DMZ. After doing all of that pull out the power cable of the router for a few 20 seconds after turning on the router w8 for 30 seconds and you should be good to go.
If it looks nothing like this can you make some printscreens of http://192.168.0.1 and the of the page if you click on DMZ.
edit: after some googling it seems you access your router by going to http://easy.box/ and login with root///123456.

So, yesterday... victim of the World Cup hype , and a tight games-budget... I went to Gamestop to trade-in my copy of FIFA 2010 (ps3) in order to get a copy of the 2010 World Cup game... thanks to this weekend's trade-in offer plus my Edge card I got around $40 dlls for my trade-in and only paid the $10 difference... not bad IMO...
What I wanted to say is that, after playing some games, I'm loving it ... I believe the game does look better and smoother than FIFA '10... some extra animations and fixed bugs/exploits are making my time worth it... maybe it's the hype, but I'm not missing the Club teams just yet...
Online is not bad at all... you will find the occasional laggy game, but you can use to connection quality indicator to prevent those, so it's all been good so far... I also found the idea of the Online World Cup fascinating... it builds your team's group on-the-fly with the countries you play against (it seems your online rival is selected by level, since my games have been leveled).. if you manage to classify to the next round, again you will be pitted randomly against the country selected by whoever the online system picks for you.

I'll give you a run for your money if I get online at some point. Parenthood is seriously hurting my gaming.AstroLad said:yep i played it a bunch over the weekend and really enjoyed it. went 3-0 in the group stage with congo being my best accomplishment
just wish there were more gaffers to play with (360)

so what, is there like a tourney ladder online setup where you get to play from the group stages up to the cup?
explain please.
They've tweaked regular online games as well. You play a season of 10 games, starting from Division 10. Get more than 16 points, and you'll advance to the next division, less than 9 and you'll be relegated. After the season you'll play a ranked cup (4 rounds, if I'm not mistaken).
There are no extra times or penalties until you get to the cup, so a draw is a draw. I'm currently stuck in Division 8, and with the amount of gaming I've gotten the last month or so, I'll be lucky to make Division 6 before the end of the WC.
Edit: Daigoro, if you have 3 friends who can come over to play the Captain Your Country mode, you should definitely jump in. It's a better game of footie than FIFA 10, and FIFA 11 won't have the same modes.

I had a couple of my friends come over several weekends ago, all amped to try out the CYC mode thinking we could each import our own VIPs....but no dice
Anyone else thinks the pitch gameplay is pretty darn solid in its current form? Granted, tactics and formation play can be a little screwed up but it's such a joy to be playing with this amount of realism in ball control, passes and shots. Bring on FIFA11!~

EA's blog said the update was coming some time today as they were waiting for FIFA to finalize jersey numbers or something along those lines
Zoo magazine in the UK has an exclusive about Fifa 11. Full article is somewhere on youtube
My summary:
Graphics
- improved visual likeness (lol they say this every year)
- greater number of body types
- greater number of animations like Ronaldo's running style
- MULTIPLE SOCK LENGTHS HOLY SHIT PRAISE THE LORD
- Actual facial expressions on the players
Audio
- Can record own chants to play during matches
- Can assign entrance music to when your team comes out
Gameplay
- More difficult to ping-pong the ball from end to end
- Installed "Pro Passing" --> control weight of distribution
- Guys like John Terry can't make intricate through balls (I've found this to be the case in Fifa 10 anyway)
- Swerve passes, driven lobs, fancy flicks, through balls with backspin
- players prone to light stumbles and more collisions
- Player AI improved. Players will adjust to the flight of the ball and not just their own runs
- Goalkeepers won't have the same super human reflexes
Personality
- AI work rate will be like their real life counterpart (Dani Alves trying to get forward as much as possible while may be slow getting back)
- Wayne Rooney hustles all over the pitch while Berbatov is lazy
- Certain moves depending on personality (Tevez will do flicks, Drogba will muscle, etc)

I find it hilarious that everytime a new FIFA is announced people go apeshit crazy over kits and apparel rather than how the game plays, I guess its a soccer thing I don't understand yet...
Wow, in ranked people quit about 10000000x more than in worldcup. Don't even know why because tell me if i'm wrong but i think if you quit after 5m it's minimum 3-0 loss for you. Pretty sure i'm in the cup right now but I don't even know b/c I got 18 points in my 7th game then played what i THINK is a cup game and the guy quit, then what i THINK is the second CUP game and the guy quit. is there any where to see where you stand?
damn i was afraid of that :lol imo they should put it a bit more front and center like how they have a really nice setup for online worldcup. so far i quite like this approach to ranked matches.Tf53 said:Yeah, after the game.
Also before the game in the team selection screen. It shows your current Division and match.

I just picked this up yesterday as sort of an impulse buy at Target. I tried the demo and wasn't thrilled, but bought the game anyway. My second time playing was much better. I beat Mexixo 3-1 on the default settings with the US team. I think once I play it more I'll be hooked. It's one of those games that translates well to a console (like NHL 10) and actually feels like you've done something to setup and score a goal. I don't know a damn thing about soccer so I'm learning as I go. It's a nice change of pace from the normal play throughs of NCAA football and Madden each year. And, since it's World Cup branded I don't need another copy for 4 years.

People don't typically quit on me. I've had three quits out of eleven. All of em came at the end of the game when there was no use playing anyway. I try to treat my opponent with as much respect as possible. No celebrations, no replays (except on crazy goals), just game. One dude did quit on me even though I lost to him. I don't know why. He quit like as soon as it did the post game replays and it gave me the win.
I've always been afraid to play FIFA online. I hate sports games online, too much cheesing. But i was sort of forced to with this version. I cleaned out all meaningful offline content relatively quickly. Online isn't so bad. I guess i spent so much time playing against that cheating ass AI that my skills get to translate over a bit. If they could fix this assisted passing a bit i'd be a happy camper. Often i'll be facing who i want to pass it to and it will just go across the body to someone down field like it just doesn't give a fuck. I'd go manual but..... i dunno. I used to roll exclusively on manual passing but it's too hard to put the proper pace short passes especially with that bit of passing lag online so i gave up.
This happened to me yesterday. Won like 14/16 including some World Cup runs and then all of a sudden it seemed like my guys were literally running away from any opposing offensive movement and meanwhile I was getting swarmed every time I had the ball (and not in a way such that it's easy to outlet). I bailed after two games b/c I just don't have the patience for it, especially if opponents are doing celebrations and watching replays for the stupidest 99%-luck boring-goal shit like a header that's crossed into a crowded box and for no good reason my defender who is right on his man decides to just sit there.Tf53 said:
In a way I almost wish they'd do away with custom formations and tactics and the like because I'm always really paranoid about getting cheesed by those although I'm sure that's rarely justified. I also feel like some games your team is just "off" and some games it's "on." Same team can feel totally different game-to-game. If there's anything to that, I liked the PES arrow method which was a lot more transparent about form.
