    Cover Athletes For FIFA Soccer 10

    EA names the cover athletes for FIFA Soccer 10.

    Electronic Arts announced Major League Soccer stars Cuauhtémoc Blanco of Chicago Fire and Sacha Kljestan of Chivas USA will be featured on the front packs of FIFA Soccer 10, the next chapter in the internationally acclaimed videogame franchise from EA SPORTS .

    Blanco is a popular midfielder for Chicago and two-time MLS All-Star. Prior to joining the Fire, he won five MVP awards in the Mexican Premier League. Blanco has represented Mexico at two FIFA World Cups (1998, 2002), and is the second leading goal scorer of all time for the Mexican national team.

    Blanco is well-known for his unique Cuauhtémiña (CWAU-te-MEEN-YA) or "Blanco Bounce" move, in which he jumps with the ball held between his feet to escape defenders. The “Blanco Bounce” is a featured skill move in FIFA Soccer 10.

    As an attacking midfielder for Chivas USA and the U.S. Men’s National Team, Kljestan enjoyed a breakout season in 2008. In his third year in MLS, Kljestan led Chivas USA in scoring, was named Team MVP, chosen an MLS All-Star, and played for the United States Olympic Team. Kljestan has appeared in 12 matches for the full U.S. National Team.

    The spotlight will also shine on Chelsea’s world-class attacking midfielder Frank Lampard who will be featured on FIFA Soccer 10 packaging in North America and around the world. Lampard is just the second midfield player in the history of English Premier League to score more than 100 goals.

    Responding to consumer feedback from more than 400 million online games played* last year, FIFA Soccer 10 will deliver gameplay refinements and innovations that will make it the most complete and intelligent simulation of soccer. The first-ever true 360° dribbling system gives players finer control of the ball, enabling them to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible. A new Freedom in Physical Play concept enables players to perform wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender. Master the game before stepping on the pitch in a new practice arena that enables users to design free kicks for different dead ball situations. Record and test plays before taking them onto the pitch with Customizable Set Pieces.

    WTF is with the body proportions in this game!?!? :shock: Umm, hello tiny heads, or too big of bodies. Wow...gg. I love Fifa 09 on the PC, still trying to decide if I want Fifa 10 for the PS3. I'll have to test this out with a demo to decide for sure. It will be this or NFS: Shift for my next gaming purchase on the PS3.

      what the hell. The Columbus Crew won the supporters shield, won the MLS championship and had the MVP and this year so far is the best team in the east division and we don't get a damn cover athlete?!

        Is this FIFA 10?

        If so im confused, surely bigger name players should be on the front cover? Who the hell are they?

        I thought Rhonaldhino and Rooney had rights?

            Because they will be expensive? Ever heard of image rights?

            Hopefully that's the North American version.

            The European version will probably have the likes of Rooney, Villa, Ben Arfa.

            If they follow their 'include a referee on the cover', I'd say Massimo Busacaa.

              This news is for the North American version. The European versions have already announced the cover athletes.

              UK - Theo Walcott, Wayne Rooney, and Frank Lampard

              the other countries are different as well.

              Rhonaldhino is on the downside of his career and besides he's been on the cover long enough.
