FIFA 10 producer David Rutter has revealed that the FIFA 10 demo on Xbox 360 and PS3 has been hugely successful, eclipsing the downloads of all other EA demos.
“In the first two weeks we had more downloads than any other EA demo in the same period of time. Ever,” said Rutter on the Off The Bench Blog. “We witnessed an unprecedented level of excitement.”
Rutter also revealed that a title update for Xbox 360 and PS3 versions is being prepared to go live on October 2.
“… last-minute fixes will be delivered to you in an update available at launch – or very, very close to launch,” said Rutter. “We’re going through the first-party testing at the moment as I write this, and believe that we’ll get through that rigorous testing in time to make it available for 2nd October.”
Rutter added: “Of particular interest to some of you will be the tuning we made to Finesse shots from distance, which having seen the feedback from the demo we knew needed to be fixed – in particular for online and ranked play. Similarly, some problems have been addressed with penalty kicks in shoot outs, corner goals, and balancing of professional difficulty. We believe we’ve also made invisible players disappear. Which we’re very happy about, and hope you are too. :)”
Good news that an update will be ready for day one, but it’s a shame those who aren’t able to get their console online will have to make do with the game as it ships.
Even without the update we still felt FIFA 10 was the best in the series, well worthy of a 9/10 review.
