FIFA 10 coming to iPhone this Friday

by Mike Schramm Sep 29th 2009 at 12:00PM


What's it going to take for us to get developers to release games for Apple products earlier than two years after the fact? The iPhone, apparently -- EA has announced that their soccer flagship FIFA 10 will be available for the iPhone this Friday, which is the same day the console game shows up in stores as well. The game will have everything the full versions have, including real teams and leagues, a licensed soundtrack, and all of the usual soccer standbys. One thing missing: online multiplayer, though local wifi multiplayer will be available.

Sounds good to us, especially if you're a fan of the sport all those crazy Europeans call football. The app should be $9.99, befitting of a premium EA sports app, though there will probably be a sale on it sooner or later. Now, about that actual Mac version...

There are formats for iPhone and iPhone 3G. So if you are iPhone 3G users, this software can also be used. Don't forget to set output folder where the converted files will be saved.

I love soccer/football arguments.

Makes me want to launch into American Exceptionalism discussions just to annoy those whom it may offend.

Short history lesson...

The full name for the Beautiful Game as we know it is "Association Football" which came about when the Football Association was founded. The first "Laws Of The Game" were drawn up in 1863. Thanks to Wikipedia for the date.

"Soccer" is a corruption of "Association" and is therefore sort-of correct. It is very rarely used in England/Scotland, though in other countries where different forms of football (Rugby, Gaelic, Aussie Rules, American) are prevalent/dominant, it is often used.

There is one notable exception to Englishmen not calling it Soccer, and that is the England and Manchester United legend, Sir Bobby Charlton. He not only uses the word frequently, but he has been running "Bobby Charlton Soccer Schools" for many years.

Once again, another useless comment by you. Touch controls work just fine. Get a life. Seriously, look at your post history here. Do you have anything positive to say, or do you just get a thrill off of bitching about products you don't own?

Football is a sensible name for what you guys call soccer. American Football would make much more sense if it was called Handegg.

I waited for this and heard nothing so I bought RS 2010 from Gameloft last night and even though I can get a refund within apple's unofficial 24 hour refund policy I'll keep it since this doesn't have multiplayer.

Ive seen people mentioning the possibility of getting your money back when buying an app, but how do you actually get it? Like is there a place in iTunes where you can apply for it or?

Yes, what happened to EA's promise to release software on mac sametime it comes out for windows and consoles. That has been over a year and a half ago and like 4 to 6 titles that has happened with. I was hoping with the influx of developers to iphone more would make way to osx. Maybe when Apple TV finally gains games it will get more developers giving attention to osx. Tringo is only game I know that was every listed as an Apple TV game
