EA: We’re working hard to fix online bugs for FIFA ’10
I was never one for football video games (with the exception of an old FIFA N64 game), and as the result I have never played an iteration of the sport on Wii. Apparently, however, many owners of last years, “FIFA ’09” were having difficulties with the online play, and now an EA employee has issued a statement regarding the bugs and what is being done to fix them in FIFA ’10.
It’s a day before I can officially start posting stuff about what we have done with the FIFA Wii game this year, but since online is such a hot topic I wanted to share some info specific to online a little earlier – it deserves it’s own post!
Goals for FIFA 10 Wii Online
First let me tell you what my goals were for online this year (it’s pretty simple really) – if you and your opponent have decent internet connections, then the game should play as well online as offline and you should be able to complete the games! And because the game plays so well online, a larger online community starts to build for FIFA Wii. That’s it (told you it was simple!).
So what happened with FIFA 09?
Ok, so before I get to the news I wanted to share with you all, let me also tell you that the disconnect issues with FIFA 09 Wii were a result of an error in the code. I noticed reading through the FIFA 09 Forums that there was some confusion as to people’s internet connections or what-not, and while that might have caused some problems, the big one was on our side. We’ve fixed it.
