Even in the face of Football Manager 2010 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, FIFA is still going strong – as you can see in the stats below (thanks to regular contributor Alexrstone for putting the facts on the forums).

FIFA 10 Fastest-Selling Sports Game Ever

Chris Davies — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:04:06 +0000

This news comes courtesy of gamesindustry.biz (and forum member Nanny):

Electronic Arts has said that FIFA 10 has become the fastest-selling sports game of all time, with 1.7 million units sold in its first week.

The game is EA’s biggest European launch to date, with over 10 million online matches played and over 155,000 users online simultaneously during peak periods.

FIFA 10 UK Advert Uncut

Click here to view the embedded video.

That makes it sound like it’s X-rated, but don’t worry, “uncut” just means that it’s two minutes long instead of 20 seconds.

The advert debuted during the Manchester derby this afternoon, and what a fitting occasion for it to be shown! You can check it out above, and in HD if you so desire.

Dutch National Team Licensed

Chris Davies — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:01:41 +0000

What are those two so happy about? Well, it might be because of this.

It looks like the rumours are true and that the Dutch national team will indeed be licensed in FIFA 10. A few videos have surfaced on YouTube and been taken down again over the last few weeks, but this time the Dutch website PlayStation Only seems to have confirmed it. Take a look at the article they’ve put together over here, or look below for a quote and the English translation (big thanks to ajaxforever from Evo-Web for the link and translation):

Voorgaande jaren vonden we Oranje niet terug in FIFA, vanwege een debacle tussen EA en de KNVB. De laatste keer verscheen oranje in 2006 FIFA World Cup, sindsdien moesten Oranje-fans het doen met namen als Ronhaar en Neutenboom.

[Finally we can play with Oranje in FIFA 10. The team will be fully licensed and now you can play with the real guys instead of Ronhaar and Neutenboom. The last time we could play with Oranje was in the 2006 FIFA World Cup game.]

FIFA 10 Soundtrack Unveiled

Chris Davies — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:21:50 +0000

Following on from our article earlier this evening, the FIFA 10 soundtrack has now been revealed. Samples of all the tracks are available on the EA Trax website here. As usual it’s mostly up-and-coming bands, but one name that sticks out is Röyksopp (pictured above).

See what you think of this year’s FIFA tunes!

FIFA 10 Soundtrack Revealed Tonight

Chris Davies — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:05:12 +0000

No, don’t worry, Abba songs aren’t included (well at least I wouldn’t think so, can you imagine?) – tonight, in true Hollywood style, the FIFA 10 soundtrack is being revealed at the Playboy Mansion. If you can’t wait until then, one of the songs is included in full at the end of the latest official FIFA podcast, which you can listen to over here.

You can see the soundtrack listing for yourself when it goes live on the EA Trax website. For more on the Playboy Mansion event, click here.

FIFA 10 Coming This September?

Chris Davies — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:30:53 +0000

Thanks to eagle-eyed forum member Fifa n Pes who spotted the following quote, we have an interesting bit of news from Eurogamer…

“We’re beginning to see a change in summer releases,” notes Michael Pachter, videogame investment analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities. “It actually started a year ago, with GTA (April) and Metal Gear Solid 4 (May) having pretty solid success. EA pushed Tiger and Fight Night forward, and will release FIFA and Need for Speed in September, earlier than usual.

Could it be true? Is FIFA 10 just two months away? The article is about the traditional summer game droughts, and you can read it in full here.

Russian League Will Be In Current-Gen FIFA 10

Chris Davies — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 00:00:04 +0000

Russian FIFA site fifasoccer.ru has confirmed that during a FIFA 10 presentation in Russia, it was announced that the Russian Premier League will feature in the game – on current-gen formats only (so that’s PC, PS2 and PSP). Other included leagues can be seen in the presentation screenshot above.

You can find discussion and translation on the EA forums, courtesy of some Russian FIFA fans kind enough to discuss their findings in English, here.
