You know that the much-awaited FIFA10 is coming soon when EA Mobile puts on a press event about it and officially announces it to the world.

And if that weren’t enough news to get you drooling, EA also put out a video, screenshots, and additional details on the game itself. So let’s get started.

FIFA 10 has both accelerometer and joystick control options. You also have A/B buttons on the bottom right to take advantage of (A for passing and B for receiving), and even swiping your finger from one to the other will give extra gameplay options (for instance, swiping from A to B will result in a long pass).

There will also be local WiFi gameplay at release, with local Bluetooth online play coming in a future release.

EA is planning on a release on or near October 1.

Here’s the press release from EA Mobile, describing some additional info for the game:
