FIFA 10 has been making waves with the sports gaming communities and recently we reported that the UK pack would feature Rooney, Walcott and Lampard. Now EA has revealed that Major League Soccer players Cuauhtémoc Blanco of Chicago Fire and Sacha Kljestan of Chivas USA will be cover athletes for FIFA Soccer 10 in North America.
Blanco is a two-time MLS All-Star and has represented Mexico in two FIFA World Cups. His characteristic skill, the “Blanco Bounce”, in which he holds the ball between his feet and jumps to avoid defenders, is included in FIFA Soccer 10. Meanwhile, Kljestan has led Chivas USA in scoring, was chosen as an MLS All-Star and has played for the US Olympic Team. He has made 12 appearances in the full US National Team. Frank Lampard, Chelsea’s top-class midfield player will also be featured on FIFA Soccer 10 packaging around the world including North America.
FIFA Soccer 10 will feature many innovations and refinements in gameplay. There will be the 360 degree dribbling ability, which will allow players to put the ball in places not possible before. The practice arena not only allows gamers to master the skills needed to step onto the pitch, but it also gives them the freedom to design and carry out free kicks for various dead ball situations.
FIFA Soccer 10 is developed in 18 languages and will be released in 37 countries. The game will hit North American stores on October 20, 2009 for the PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PSP, PC, Wii and Nintendo DS, as well as for mobile platforms. Prices for the game haven’t been announced yet.
