In this preview, we will talk about the new game. What
features will be in it? What will be improved?
On the 9th of June 2010, the new FIFA game is announced. After the award winning game in the serie, FIFA 10, EA Sports are offering the players a new game to talk about. But will it also win 50+ awards ? EA Sports announced some new features which will be fun though!
Personality +
Personality + sees a footballer’s performance on the pitch mirrored authentically in game, differentiated and replicated for every player’s skill-set. New body types and player models will further help identify players. Personality+ at every position on the pitch reinvents how players look, and perform – on and off the ball. Check back soon as we release more information on Personality+.
Gary Paterson, creative director, explains Personality+ in the following video.

Improved passing
“Ping pong passing” has been eliminated. Passing is now dependent on realistic conditions that exist in each specific situation, creating unpredictable results. Goalkeeper AI and Chip Shots will be addressed as well, check back soon for more information on these areas.
Gary Paterson, creative director, explains the improved passing in the following video.
