Free FIFA 10 Commentary Fix Soon

One of the biggest complaints this year (outside of the list of Manager Mode issues) is that FIFA 10’s commentary can be a bit random. There’s a few outdated lines, such as references to Martin Jol managing Tottenham, and a few weird bugs (if the ball rebounds off an adboard and hits the post then the commentator will jump out of their seat and scream that “IT’S HIT THE POST”).

Well, some good news to report. As you can see in this thread, over on the official EA FIFA next-gen forums, a free DLC commentary patch is on the way. Hurrah!

Cue much rejoicing from FIFA fans apart from a distinct bunch of nerds at the back wearing “when will you fix Manager Mode” t-shirts (now available for £12.99 from FIFASoccerBlog – just kidding, our legal department advises us that it’s not a good idea).

Next Update Q&A

An official Q&A regarding the next FIFA 10 update has been posted over on the EA forums – you can read it in full if you click here.

Basically, a squad file is on the way that will fix the broken tactics in the game (e.g. all English teams below the Premier League having the exact same all-70s tactics), as well as updating some of the existing tactics to make teams play a more realistic game of football based on all of the community feedback.

It will most likely be arriving over the next few weeks, but it will fix nothing else.

New Patch Out On 360

Just a quick note to say that the FIFA 10 Xbox 360 patch #2 is out now.

If you haven’t seen the fixlist, read the article a few stops below – or click here.

The tactics bug where the English Championship, League 1 and League 2 teams – plus the three promoted Premier League sides, as well as all teams from countries such as Australia, Brazil, Republic of Ireland and Scotland, and a few from the Rest of World category – have all 70s set as their tactics, has not yet been resolved.

But, we’ve been told a fix for this is on the way!
