Many thanks to all those that participated in the first Closed Beta testing last month. The FIFA Online team has been hard at work on the game and, today, have launched Closed Beta 2.
Many of you would have seen the improvements being made to the gameplay engine in FIFA 10 PC from the news being released from the media following our European media tour, which took us FIFA Producers to London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Munich, Warsaw and Moscow. Some of you who read the forums would have seen some details that I have been sharing with you over there.
By now you should have heard a fair amount about what's in store for FIFA 10. I'll cover them again here shortly - but we've a lot more coming soon, too. Throughout the end of June I'll be visiting London, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Milan, Warsaw and Moscow to get our game in front of more journalists and unveil a number of additional new features we have deliberately not mentioned yet.
