I know that I'm fighting an uphill battle, but I could really do without FIFA 10. Perhaps ironically, it's because I thought FIFA 09 was so damned good. The main reason I don't need 10 is because, a year later, I'm still playing 09 every day. And, hell, with Adidas Live Season, we get roster updates in real time. EA Canada did such a good job last year that I don't feel the need to buy their newest FIFA endeavor -- I just hope that they live up to the bar that they've set so high.
But, hey, if EA Canada can make next year's game worth the $60 price tag, more power to them. If the game's Wikipedia page is to believed, then they might be on the right track: ball physics, defender AI, and (most importantly) dribbling have all been purportedly improved.
Anyway, on to the actual teaser (below the fold): it says "Actual game footage," but I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe it's from the Be A Pro Mode -- EA Canada haven't said that the feature would be in FIFA 10, but they'd be idiots to axe it -- but I'm not convinced. Either way, it's certainly exciting footage for a soccer fan, and the teaser trailer does exactly what it's designed to do: tease.
FIFA 10 will be released some time this Fall, presumably on every major console since the Amiga.

I can't wait for this game! I don't know what else to say, I've been playing FIFA almost constantly since 2005 and I'm amazed at how much the game has improved over the last half decade. Other sports franchises must take a look at what EA Canada does and follow it to a T (or tee/tea? ha whatever). No major overhauls in the current engine means hopefully a much improved version of 09 (Which is saying a lot since 09 was downright amazing)
Are you f-ing kidding me? Fifa 09 has the most terrible through balls and pass physics ive seen. The only thing awesome about Fifa 09 gameplay is the shooting, which has vastly been improved.
why do they never use footage of the camera angle that people play with? overhead? the games dont look anything like that overhead. and you cant play the game at that angle.
@ Kris S Haha, I think you can attribute my lack of FIFA experience to my ignorance of Soccer, I used to play the Genesis games but would turn off Offsides since I had no idea how it worked and I thought it was dumb that they had a rule like that, all I wanted to do was punt the ball down field.

Fifa09 does not suck. You, on the other hand, do.
;0p
They still won't be the best team in real life though
The fact that you will buy a crappy World Cup cash-in and not the full game says it all...your opinion counts for feck all.
