Details of a downloadable update for FIFA 10 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have been revealed.

Following the launch of FIFA 10 in Europe on 2 October, feedback was rapidly forthcoming from the community and the development team wasted no time in addressing the core feedback. The result, two weeks later, was a finished update that has since been delivered to Sony and Microsoft for their certification.

For more details on the update, check out the forum thread here.

A note on the forums

We have created a section on the FIFA forums dedicated to interaction with the FIFA team themselves, called the Dev Team Lobby. It’s separate from the rest of the bustling forums, and posts to it are pre-moderated. But why’ve we gone and done that, you ask?

Simply, we have such a massive number of people posting on the forums these days that it has become practically impossible for members of the FIFA development team to keep track of everything that’s being said. While they’re very interested in all the feedback that’s come since the launch of FIFA 10, just reading it all would take up most of their day, let alone actually responding. And when they do respond, of course, their answers are quickly drowned in the general forum flood and most users don’t get to see it.

So while anyone can post their thoughts to the Dev team Lobby, moderators will be making sure that each post is constructive, on-topic and not simply duplicating earlier comments; only those with ‘purpose’ will pass the filter. That means the development team should have a much easier time absorbing feedback, as well as having a much more focussed means of responding to the things people are most keen to hear about.
