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:

Considering the amount of hype going into this game so far, there’s no doubt that millions are drooling over screenshots and details of Madden 2010 for iPhone/iPod Touch released today.

We know that the game will be available on the App Store in time for opening day, which happens to be Sept. 10. This means that it will be ready for us to play and enjoy in less than two weeks.

As you can tell in these shots, Madden 2010 and NFL 2010 are very alike; after all, there’s only so much innovation you can add to these types of games that are on a small screen but meant for a larger game console. But from what we can tell the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is as close to real as you can get on this type of device.

On one hand I’m excited to see how this all plays out; on the other hand, however, we’re more used to seeing a game like this on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Can it be as exciting and as intense on the iPhone as it is on those versions? How well can the graphics really be done? Guess we’ll find out in 2 weeks or so.

Watch out Madden, you’ve got some competition on your tail. Gameloft has just announced its upcoming football game for the iPhone and iPod Touch called NFL 2010.

Features: real-life game simulation, on-screen controls and full NFL team roster list.

Pricing: $4.99

Expected availability: Late August 2009 Update: NFL 2010 is now available on the App Store. Check it out here.

It will be intriguing to see how these will work on the iPhone and if the game experience is as good as on larger consoles such as the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Usually in comparison it isn’t as good on the iPhone, but perhaps EA has found a way to integrate the faster processing power of the iPhone 3GS to allow for a better game. We are certainly looking forward to learning more about how this will all happen.

Will we be able to coordinate our iPhone EA accounts with the ones on the larger consoles? That would certainly help make the game more universal across all gaming platforms.

[prMac.com] Orlando, FL – Steamroller Studios has announced that “iLectric Football” is coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch this summer. The game is inspired by the old vibrating football games that became popular over 60 years ago. It was built from the ground up to appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers. It’s simple enough for a dad to play with his kid, yet deep enough to satisfy the hardcore football fan.

While the game will inherently appeal to a very niche and loyal crowd, it was created with the average iPhone user in mind. It sports an easy to follow user interface with the ability to play a full game by clicking only one button. You don’t even have to know the rules of football or remember the original vibrating game to enjoy it. Having said that, the game is filled with many exciting features the hardcore fan will love. Including throwing passes, kicking field goals, full 3D camera control, and setting up custom plays. iLectric Football has a little bit of everything for everyone.

Steamroller Studios is currently planning on launching iLectric Football late this summer on the app store for the initial price of $1.99. There are many exciting updates for the game already being planned out that will be announced at a later date.
