EA have released a press update in regards to FIFA 10, detailing when exactly we’ll be able to get our hands on the football game that seems to gain more popularity every year. October 2nd is the big day that all FIFA fans should make note of, as this is when the game will be released to a plethora of platforms, including the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and the DS. Did I miss any? Oh yeah, it’ll be out on mobile phones too. Brilliant.

The release date is international so most, if not all, countries should be able to get their mits on the next FIFA instalment at the same time (ignoring time zones of course).

In a related update, you’ll be happy to know the “invulnerable keeper” bug of FIFA 09 (he couldn’t be sent off) has been fixed in FIFA 10. That’s not all, here’s a list straight from Santiago Jaramillo, Gameplay Producer for FIFA 10:

- Ability to change kick taker on set pieces
- Ability to move the wall
- Preventing goals being scored from kick-off
- Making offsides less frequent and improving our advantage logic
- Quick Free Kicks
- Fewer ‘cut scenes’ replaced by on-the-field player reactions
- ‘Super Long Throws’ – Players like Rory Delap will be able to throw the ball into the heart of the box from afar
- New ‘Ball Avoidance’ logic so teammates and the referee will get out of the way of passes and shots
- And many more!
