When producers of the EA SPORTS FIFA franchise in Vancouver, B.C., were midway through development of FIFA 10, the team was confident they were building a great-playing football videogame. Little did they know that FIFA 10 would turn into a massive hit!
OK, time for another FIFA Interactive World Cup update from me and some pretty good news for all those that are interested in hosting their own leagues and cups.
FIFA 10 producer David Rutter explains what's happening just prior to the release of the game in Europe, and reveals a downloadable update available on day-one of the release.
