abbeyhill—I’m not familiar with FIFAs from around FIFA97 to FIFA06, but I used to play the demos every year (on the old OPS2 Magazine demo disc—how quaint!). And I’m sure I remember FIFA2003 as having a >8-way directional movement thing as well. But that was only one game in a demo and it was 6 years ago, so I’m not sure.

I’m sure there was an earlier version of Fifa (05,06?) which had multi-directional (>8 way) movement, at least on the PC version, although it made player control feel rather slippery and unsatisfying

TareX—thanks for the links, very intriguing. I couldn’t make up my mind about the running. At times it looked 360-ish, at others 8-way. And if this is FIFA10, the rest of the gameplay seems identical, right down to the routine through-ball into the strikers.

Makershaker—The FIFA trailer has me worried. As of right now I’m fully prepared to spend 2010 playing Tetris…

There’s currently a rumour about PES2010 having 360-degree dribbling as well. Not much substance to the rumour, IMO, but it hasn’t been specifically denied by those who’ve had their hands on the game. I think though that the NDAs would also prevent them commenting about things that aren’t in the game.

Well, I searched for leaked footage of FIFA10 and that’s what I found:

Running looked nice, but it also looked 8-directional to me… Nothing like Football Kingdom’s 360 movement and passing if you’ve seen it’s videos:

The crowd’s reaction to Ronaldo’s goal was neat though….
