Following the details of the pending game update that were released earlier this week, we are happy to confirm that these will be going live on Playstation 3 today (22nd October) at 8am GMT, and at 9am GMT tomorrow (23rd October) for Xbox 360. We thank you for your patience whilst this has gone through First Party, and hope you enjoy all of the updates included.

Live Season will also be back up and running this afternoon on PS3 , and Saturday afternoon on X360. There will be a small server outage to prepare for the relaunch of Live Season. If you try to play Live Season after 7am before you have installed the update you may experience some challenges, these will be resolved as soon as the update has been deployed and installed.

Its a start to fixing the problems.

FIFA 10 Game Update (X360 and PS3) – The Details

As always a big factor in the success of the FIFA franchise is the involvement of its massive community of fans and this year is no different. The FIFA development team actively sought out feedback and opinion from the community during the development of the game, and now it’s in people’s hands that activity hasn’t slowed down.

Responding to post-launch feedback from the community during the last two weeks, a new downloadable game update is being readied for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. What follows are details of exactly what changes you can expect on installing the update.

Many thanks to everyone for their feedback to help us improve your experience of FIFA 10.

Online and Connectivity

PlayStation 3
Feedback : Players disconnected from PS3 matches too frequently in the development teams opinion, usually during the first half with a connection-lost message.
Update:Players will be able to complete online games with minimal disconnections.

PlayStation 3
Feedback:Players disconnected too frequently in the development teams opinion, from the PlayStation Network when playing online with a profile with many FIFA friends.
Update: Players will not see any unexpected behaviour relating to having many friends on their profile.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: No teams in Div 3 or below on world standings
Update: All Divisions will have stats listed once there are enough teams to fill the divisions above them (50 teams per division, so Division 3 should start having stats listed once there are 101 teams in the standings).

Xbox 360
Feedback: Occasionally, no users could be found during a Pro Ranked match search, while there were users available to play.
Update: Pro Ranked match search will always be successful when there are users available to play.

Manager Mode

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback : Player form changed too dramatically while playing through manager mode.
Update: A player’s form is now more subtle and does not affect physical attributes.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: Occasionally loaned players from the first transfer window would be sold by teams in the second transfer window.
Update: AI teams with players loaned to them will not sell these players in the second transfer window.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: Occasionally players would disappear that were bought in the first transfer window when simming matches in the second transfer window.
Update: The players team will not lose players during the second transfer window without any action on the user’s part.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: Goal Keeper Clean Sheets were being tracked as assists in the Top 20's screen.
Update: Assists will only be awarded to players that passed the ball to the goal scorer immediately before the goal was scored.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: The game occasionally crashed when entering gameplay, team management, or transfer lists during the first season after loaning out players and filling the roster to full. There were too many players at the club.
Update: Loaned players will now still count towards one of the 42 roster spots so the player cannot have more players than the maximum belonging to their team.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: Rarely, the player could progress past the end of season with a negative club budget after signing and, later, choosing not to re-sign players during a season.
Update: Choosing not to re-sign players will not cause the team’s budget to decrease further.

Live Season 2.0/My Live Season.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback : Changing the squad at the central hub of My Live Seasons to include invalid players would make the game hang if substitutions were later attempted during gameplay.Update: The player will be informed that the player cannot be substituted into the lineup.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: Too many match events, for example yellow cards, were being tracked incorrectly which would occasionally make My Live Seasons hang.
Update: The user will be able to use Live Season mode without any hangs, and all match events will be tracked correctly.

Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3
Feedback: Youth players were shown with incorrect ages.
Update: The Youth Players’ ages will be correct.

I wonder if this update will mean my manager mode may start working again, certainly hope so.

Either way, good news about the update.

EDIT: Hasn't made any difference to my manager mode game, will unfortunately have to start from scratch.

[bekko]

Put the update in and i can't get a pro ranked match at all now.

i had one game, then for the next half an hour wouldn`t work so i gave up and switched off

[LP76]

round my mates last night , he has the update and still cant play a two player match without it crashing. Its beyond a joke, a football game where you cant play against your pal

[jegan111]

Thats strange. i've played loads of mates without a single problem. Infact, we had a tourny last week where 8 of us faced off without any crashing or hangs.

I won of course. Even tho i'm rubbish, they're all worse!!!

disk problem maybe? Try to swap it at the shop maybe?

[sdb123]

Played my first match in Manager Mode since the patch and the game froze at the end...

[kenetiks]

havent experienced any bugs yet and im playing 3rd season manager mode...very strange u getting these problems.

[jdappz]

since installing the update, i cant seem to last longer than 5mins in a internet game!! jus keeps crashing! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Scott23]

I haven't noticed any difference???

[bekko]

It seems to be that way and worse for most.

[19andy84]

I've actually managed to get my original manager mode working again, what I did wouldn't work before this patch so it appears to have been of some use.

glad its actually fixed something, cos i havent noticed anything!

[Craigy]

Its a mess at the moment, over on the EA forums Manager Mode is crashing 100% of the time for Korean users and EA Korea are fobbing them off onto EA Canada, the one's who can speak English and have logged a fault with EA Canada are being told to speak to Korea!

EA have also said no more patches are forthcoming so I have bought PES for Master League which is excellent but the gameplay is nowhere near as good on the pitch, all because Manager Mode is just a huge mess.

[jshartley]

I've managed to play two player all day every day from Saturday until Tuesday then suddenly won't play anymore. Gets to start of match, just about to kick off and xbox freezes! Disk is perfect not a scratch on it. Glad to see other people having same problem, I thought it was my xbox.

[Frankie 7]

Why the hell cant i sign any ****ing player with any club in this ****ing game? Jesus!

[MarlonSays]

Anyone notice the game seeming to play a bit quicker off line?

I hadn't played for a week or so and had to check I hadn't accidentally upped the game speed myself after playing a few games.

[Frankie 7]

I am seriously thinking of binning FIFA10 and buying Pro Evo. The gane is a joke. What has the changes brought? Nothing that i can see. Still cant sign any bloody player, No matter what. Shooting is still a joke as well. You have the power bar right up and the player still only "tickles" the ball. I really dunno what else to do now. Not enjoying FIFA as i usually do.

I know what you mean. Most of the time the only way i score or concede a goal is, a free kick in which the keeper should of saved it but parried it in his own goal instead, a shot where the keeper parried it into a incoming strikers path for a tap in, or a chip shot.

Hopefully they will patch it soon as it's not very enjoyable when most of the goals are so crappy.

To my knowledge, EA are not bringing any more patches out for this game, only a squad update in Feb and possibly a fix to sort out the championship sides all being set to 70. As in the game-play aspect, what you play is all your gonna get now until Fifa 11!.

I hope your wrong. But i would be surprised as last year they released loads of patches for the game that had hardly any faults.

A number of those patches were for the Trading Card aspect of FIFA09.

i suppose its the way they cash in on the sequel, say its improved here and there in the places we all moan about. but really it isnt... so the next year after that they can say theyve improved it. basically it just goes on and on. they will never make it perfect if they cud as not as many would buy the next version.

Totally agree, Fifa 11 will really be Fifa 10 (as it should of been) and so on.....

(are we too cynical?)

I've been trying to get a game with my mate for about 15 minutes now and all we get is 'game session is no longer available' after inviting each other. Can't even connect as a party. This is driving me mental. I give up for today
