From May 5 to May 14 football fans are once again invited to FIFA Online's Closed Beta testing with a fourth round which introduces a new feature to the game called Youth Scout. Here is Producer Adrian Blunt to walk you through the feature plus a list of the new items that users will find in FIFA Online using in-game currency in the store.
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.
