Then with the [...]]]> Fifa Online 2 has finally given us players another surprise. Well, here are the new updates which have badly affected TechieDan. The first few updates for the Fifa Online 2 on January 14th 2010 is you will now be greeted with a splash screen after logging in as depicted with the screen below.

Then with the summer roster kicking in, some players will see the boot and be gone forever. An example would be A.Gaarde which TechieDan has created into a +4 player. The player is now non-existant on Fifa Online 2. I will quote from the EA Sports Official Fifa Online 2 website.

When the player has retired/passed away/ vanished from the football scene as of the last summer transfer window, the uniform card of the respective player will not be in the data base anymore.

Players that have transferred clubs, be it on permanent or loan deals, will have the status of their football club based on the last summer transfer window updated. This applies for players who have joined football clubs as free agents. This does not apply to the players in your team, only the uniform cards.

This means that a Cristiano Ronaldo Uniform Card, for example, will reflect him as a Real Madrid Player instead of a Manchester United Player. This also applies for Chelsea’s Franco Di Santo on loan to Blackburn Rovers. His uniform card will indicate him as a Blackburn player.

This changes will not have any effect on the players in your team. I.e. If your team is Real Madrid, you wont have Benzema, Kaka and other players that changed football clubs during the last summer transfer window.

So old players like Paolo Maldini would cease to exist and Kaka will now be in Read Madrid.

Another option would be the transfer of players between different managers. Though transfer can only be done with the same login name. One has to purchase a Create Additional Manager item in order to create one.

The screen would be shown as above if you have only 1 team allowed and with no Create Addtional Manager bought. As depicted by the official site, if one has a manager item, one can transfer uniform cards. The interface would look as the following.

Here are the other notable changes

• Chatting Block On / Off function
• Uniform Card “Move All” Feature
• Glory Point item: Player Trade Coupon
• Accuracy Reduction when Power Gauge is Max

Verdict : While it may seem that this new update benefits those with new players, upgraded old cards missing generates complaints from players with these cards. Nevertheless game play is still the same.

Here is what the screen will show after downloading this patch which is about 300++MB.

Streamyx users in Malaysia would fret by waiting for it to finish since it tries to update the whole program. Be wary though, if the line disconnects while the patch is ongoing, you’ll have to install the patch again and redo the whole thing again.

It wasn’t mentioned as to what was integrated in the new December 1st 2009 patch but my guess would be new features that needs to be explored. So far here are the new features which could be seen.

There’s now a new menu which is the HALL OF GLORY. This is one new feature which enables one to gain points and thus used it to buy certain items. Points are gained by joining world tours and also club matches.

As seen above, Current Glory Points (GP) obtained is now 35. One needs to get at least 2000GP to purchase a speed enhance knee tape. So is more like, the more you play, you get points to redeem things. As this is a new feature, expect more items to be included in the coming future.

Aside from this, the game play has also been added with some additional features.

Now you can finally see an additional information when your players or the opponent’s player scores a goal. You can practically checked who was the one who assisted the goalscorer.

So far so good, this was what TechieDan could find about the current patch of this FIFA Online 2. More updates would soon be posted.

Considering one needs to login and create a user.

For [...]]]> EA Sports Fifa Online 2, finally a soccer game or rather a football game where it’s online and one can trade cards with each another. Well, the mechanics of this game is fairly different I must say. Yes, a game review of a game from EA Sports.

Considering one needs to login and create a user.

For EA FIFA fans, I am pretty sure some of it’s game mechanics might suit a few of those FIFA 98 and FIFA 2000 series due to it’s graphics and game play. Well, considering it to be an online game, details might be hard for some users due to slow internet connection.

Once login, one can create a team based on the certain approved teams EA has gotten permission to. Though there are no Malaysia Super League teams around.

To learn more about the gameplay, one can visit the game’s official website where it teaches one the basics of FIFA such as the A S D key. As always any game will usually have it’s own exploitation.

Looking from the screen, one can adjust the power level of a kick, a lob or even a pass. Well, this game do give challenges when the AI seems to be able to score from every corner when left unchecked. Beware of the AI. Of course if you just don’t want to play the game and quitting halfway, you can exit the match.

Just be warned, doing so will automatically set your team as the losing team with the score of 0 – 3. In a way it’s fair since the points are updated online.

My judgement on this game : Fair, addictive but for Super 11 fans, this might not be your game. TechieDan got addicted to this game when he has nothing else to do.
