This means I can post comments on the Chelsea team's ratings, formation etc and if the Data Editors think my feedback is good, they can edit the stats.

So, if you have any stats to be changed for FIFA 2010, just tell (if they're for Chelsea, this is) and I can try and see whether it can be changed, ok?

I will just tell you that it is voluntary, not paid for and is a whole lot of fun! I recommend the job to anyone, and hope that I can help make FIFA 2010 a great game for everyone to enjoy.

I may try to become a Data Editor, but have heard no more about that job as of yet. ]]> SBFC-Chris http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/blogs/405851-sbfc-chris/982-data-reviewer.html http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/blogs/405851-sbfc-chris/972-more-fifa-xbox-360.html Thu, 21 May 2009 19:25:36 GMT So here's the next bit of my blog

So, I went online 10vs10 and was really happy, apart from one thing.

It's nearly impossible to get to be a striker or midfielder, unless you are the super quick button-pushing type of person.

I find it's better to start a game, and so you are the captain of one of the teams. This way you know when you are ready and the other captain is ready, so you know when to start the frantic rush for the better positions.

I've also started my own club and online league, and am impressed by the whole system.

And now I've realised some other problems:
- Lots of third kits are missing e.g. Everton's
- Through-balls are ruining the game

The first of these can't be fixed, but the second one can be fixed by using Custom Tactics. So I went and changed the tactics according to this FIFA blog:

So if you want to cut out through-balls, try that. He also has some more things that really help your game.

Now, I have found the best way of playing is in exhibition mode. In tournament and Manager Mode the games are more difficult, I don't know how, but they are.

Then I started playing some online games. Now, I know that usually I get trashed, by something like 10-1. So what I did was get an unranked match against someonelse from England. Then, with my headphone's, I asked them nicely whether they would be able to go a little bit easy on me. After that they slowed the game down, and I was extremely gratefuly, and afterwards submitted a positive review of the player.

He also used Liverpool, even though he supported Manchester United, while I used Chelsea.

Now, of course, my favourite team to play as is Chelsea in exhibition mode. But I suggest you all use different teams, and different formations. I have tried out all of the different formations and wrote a review for each one. Then I got the base formation before editing it slightly, for instance making Anelka play just about a metre behind Didier Drogba. Even this tiny change affected by game, and I actually turned up the difficulty, it was working so well! ]]> SBFC-Chris http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/blogs/405851-sbfc-chris/972-more-fifa-xbox-360.html http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/blogs/405851-sbfc-chris/970-fifa-09-my-new-360.html Thu, 21 May 2009 14:31:09 GMT Hi guys, and this is my first blog on these forums, so please go easy on me. It will just be about my FIFA 09 experience using my new 360. So here... Hi guys, and this is my first blog on these forums, so please go easy on me. It will just be about my FIFA 09 experience using my new 360.

So here are a list of Manager Mode's I am playing through at the moment:

1 - Everton
2 - Chelsea (Go to the Manager Mode Section of these forums to check out how I'm doing!)
3 - Chelsea

I haven't done tournament mode yet, but I am impressed by the whole game, especially the online features.

Although I suck at the game, and I just play for enjoyment, this is the most realistic game I've played. The animations are so different from my old PS2, and they make it feel as if I'm actually in the stand watching the game.

I've played around with Custom Tactics, and they are great. I recommend you all take the time to change them, as you can make or break a game just by changing one option up by five.

I've already uploaded some videos to EA Football World, although I am rather dissappointed that you can only upload six pictures. I can see about uploading only six videos, but pictures take up the minimum amount of space and can show everything about the game.

I also downloaded ALS for the last two weeks of the season, and am also impressed by this. Although it is at times not very accurate, overall it is a great feature that I would love to be able to use next season.

I'll be back soon with more, hopefully. ]]> SBFC-Chris http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/blogs/405851-sbfc-chris/970-fifa-09-my-new-360.html
