FIFA 10

[The Quasi Juice]

Some guy made a list of all the bugs so far in Manager Mode, it's a shitload (and I doubt all of these will be fixed in the next patch):

I would really like to speak to the FIFA10 BETA testers, what a bunch of misfits.

I guss i will just wait for FIFA 11 than. Still got a lot to win at 09 anyway...

From what i got there still is no propper training mode like in PES (or at least the older PES games), only more options in the arena mode?! I´ed realy love to see propper training missions.

Well, I think you should wait for the patch (or even more patches) so most bugs are fixed, because the gameplay itself is better than 09, no doubt. But what do you mean with training missions?

[Baddar]

Some of these MM "bugs" though are just people being really picky. They're not all "bugs" it's just some are what people would've wanted put in, but isn't. Like;

11) Signing players is practically impossible, even when offering maximum wages and maximum bonuses, even if you can get their interest level up to 85%+. (Even if you start out as a manager with no reputation, you should be able to sign really poor players with no reputation who aren’t getting first-team football elsewhere.)

(Bollocks. I've signed a few in my MM game with Newcastle and signed Marcos Senna straight away with Man City in a game I played with my nephew.)

25) Friendly games include matches against teams in your own division. This doesn’t usually happen in reality.

(Has been happening more and more lately)

33) When you have a player injured, the game forces you to remove him from your team before going to the pre-game screen. You don't want to remove him from your first-choice team, you want to remove him at the pre-match team management screen, like in FIFA 09. But now you can't do that.

(So?)

38) You lose respect with the board when losing a game on penalties. You should be given the same increase/decrease you would be given for a draw rather than a win/loss in these circumstances.

(You lost. Avram Grant lost his job because of a defeat on pens.)

61) The new Europa League format is not in the game.

(Maybe next year. Hardly a bug.)

63) For some reason only ten characters are permitted for first names and surnames now, when this wasn't the case in FIFA 09.

(So they wanted to shorten it for some reason. Who cares? Again, not really a bug.)

----------

I agree there's problems and most shouldn't have made it past testing, let alone the release of the game. But some people really do nit-pick with stuff. A lot of the stuff above is something found by one person, and doesn't happen every time.

Here's hoping we get the patch today, anyway.

We should arrange a night for when alot of us are available to play for EWB FC.

Sounds good.

When is good for you?

I agree, when I read this I was confused as well, it's really easy to sign players.

25) Friendly games include matches against teams in your own division. This doesn’t usually happen in reality.

(Has been happening more and more lately)

It hardly happens and is just not something that should not happen a lot. I think it's very lazy, they should have put it on random team or something, with the exception of teams from your own competition, not that difficult.

33) When you have a player injured, the game forces you to remove him from your team before going to the pre-game screen. You don't want to remove him from your first-choice team, you want to remove him at the pre-match team management screen, like in FIFA 09. But now you can't do that.

(So?)

I hate this as well and it makes no sense. If Toure is injured, I don't want Onuoha to replace in my permanent team, 'cause then next time I have to put Toure there again. It doesn't take long or anything, but it's just unnecessary, it was better in 09 and it made sense. I agree it's not a bug, more an annoyance.

38) You lose respect with the board when losing a game on penalties. You should be given the same increase/decrease you would be given for a draw rather than a win/loss in these circumstances.

(You lost. Avram Grant lost his job because of a defeat on pens.)

You shouldn't lose a lot of respect though, it's a gamble game. Grant lost his job because he was never really the number one choice and they had the opportunity to get Scolari.

61) The new Europa League format is not in the game.

(Maybe next year. Hardly a bug.)

It might not be a bug, but a huge flaw. The new system has been known for months now, they easily had the time to put it in.

63) For some reason only ten characters are permitted for first names and surnames now, when this wasn't the case in FIFA 09.

(So they wanted to shorten it for some reason. Who cares? Again, not really a bug.)

I agree, not a bug, but just something weird.

Finally scored a free kick with my pro!

[TCO]

I just wish they'd leave me put an apostrophe in my Pro's name, any O' names will feel my pain.

[alldaws1]

Finally scored a free kick with my pro!

Clearly not as good as my 34-yarder in our club game the other night

[Dynamite]

So, where's the cheapest place to buy this then? I haven't bought a FIFA for a good 6 or 7 years but this one looks worth it.

[King Ellis]

I thought that at the time!

Speaking of the club, I just played a normal head to head ranked match and now i'm no longer part of the team. Is this some weird bug or did someone finally realise they don't like outsiders?

One more thing, the friends league that was started? Yeah, way to spell. EWR Battledround indeed.

[alldaws1]

Hmm, dunno, I'll have a word with Jay about it.

[Bryan Blade]

And that was me that named the friends league EWB Battledround didn't even notice it till i saw you're post sorry about that guys..i've played 2 games in the league so far won 1st one 4-1 and lost 2nd one 2-1 good games both of them which of you was i playing. Rest of ye should join up

[IAceI]

Is anyone on right now with the team? I haven't played a game so far so not sure what I'm like haha. I'll try and keep it simple ¬_¬

[Dan]

Two nice goals by James Brown in my pre-season game against Stuttgart.

This is what the patch'll fix.

[9 to 5]

When is out?

[The Quasi Juice]

The EA forums are being flooded by whiney kids, about how they are only fixing 6 things for Manager Mode instead of 70. I'm looking forward to the update so I can start a serious Manager Mode game (probably Southampton). I also have a feeling they've fixed more stuff in Manager Mode, but either they are really small or they don't want to mention them

Tomorrow the game comes out in NA, so I expect the update to come out tomorrow morning, they don't want NA users to go mental about all the bugs either.

[King Ellis]

Hurrah for Pro Ranked fix!

Will the manager mode stuff apply to existing games?

[Baddar]

Thanks for royally fucking up my MM game, EA, you twats. :@

Glad the fixes are being made though.

Edited October 20, 2009 by Baddar D

[HailtotheYo]

yeah I'll be purchasing my copy here in a couple of hours, but the plastic isn't coming off until the patch is released ....

[RoyWill Rumble]

The patch is being released today, or very well may have already been released.
