Rafael Marquez, former Barcelona defender. Now plays for New York Red Bulls. They put a different cover on the game for different regions.
Got the game yesterday for my PS3. Man the new defensive system is hard!

Indeed – Rooney seems to be on all the versions, paired with a different soccerballer or two depending on the region. As you'll know, on the UK version he's alongside Arsenal's Jack Wilshere.
That reminds me, there's an England international a week tonight...
Wait until you see Scotland trying to break down Liechtenstein next Saturday. Then you'll know what zombie football is all about

Haha, could be a buzz kill after the 7th October..
Not holding my breath for any miracles though, especially after how crap Lithuania played against us.
Controller mate should be able to work, setting up the buttons is such a pain though. I did it for Portal 2.
And I am using a wired Xbox 360 controller, be forewarned that if you go that route though I was only able to get the official Microsoft controller to work, and not the MadCatz one.
Ya controller mate is a pain. I usually have to run a youtube video or 2 constantly skipping back and forth trying to figure out what to do next. Even with a video tutorial its really hard. Well at least its possible. Ill give it a go and if nothing else I will just buy the xbox for windows controller. I hope the wireless one will suffice. Thanks for the tips.
It can't be a wireless one unless you buy the receiver for the controller, which isn't Mac compatible so you have to tweak it a bit. Get a wired one, they're cheaper anyway.
I have the MS 360 wired controller and not all the buttons work. The left and right triggers don't work and the right analog stick doesn't either. I have the driver installed from tattiebogle and all the buttons and sticks work when I test it through that app. Even if I change button settings in the FIFA menu it doesn't work.
Does anybody have a fully functional 360 controller working under FIFA? If so, how did you get it to work properly? Thanks.

I second this question...the specs only mention keyboard & mouse (which is silly, I think), so does any gamepad work with this? I have the wired 360 pad, by the way.

I for one like to learn when a major game is released for Macs. It's not like this happens everyday. Most of the games for Macs to this point are for kids, so when something aimed at adults comes out, that's great for everyone.
I bought this game but its not running in my MBA 13" late 2010. It lags from the beginning, where I choose language, no matter how I change the settings.
4GB ram, Geforce 320M, Core2Duo 2.13GHz.
I don't expect the game would run smoothly, but it satisfies the system requirement.
Any ideas?

That's strange.. I would've thought it would run better on 2010 MBA's with its Geforce GPUs.. I have MBA 2011 13" and it run really good, my settings are 800x500 windowed, rendering set to low, MSAA off, basically the lowest setting on all, lol.. but hey, it runs pretty good,very playable.. tho there's seems to be a glitch with the grass rendering..

Tried both the Mac version and the PC version.
Mac version is just a Cider port, and had trouble getting my USB controllers to work properly. Performance wasn't great either - it worked, but nothing special. Shadows on the pitch caused a great strain.
Running the PC version via Boot Camp, performance was far better and had no issues at all with my USB controllers. Still had to turn things down to get it to run smoothly, but could get away with higher quality than the Mac version.
Get the PC version and install it via Boot Camp. It is a bit of a pain having to reboot to play a game, but it'll run far better.

Holy Hannigan! EA releasing a game for the Mac!!! I'm really happy that a big studio can take interest in the platform. Wouldn't mind if Bungie would remember its roots but that's a rant for another day.
