Ah right. Not sure mesel. Sometimes u can reg an account on different machines but not 100% on how it works. I thought u meant he set up one on your ps3.
It takes 5 mins to do.
User name
A email address but a different one to the one u use on your uk sign in.
A US address. Just google a US Hilton hotel I.e NYC and you can use that address.
That's it really.
Or just wait until 5pm tomorrow :-D

Negatives:
Feels like PES
Movement is stiff, no inertia - players can run around in tiny circles, turn on a dime
Tackliling is absurd, it's like they've removed the physics, back to where it was pre FIFA 08
Passing feels stiff and scripted
Ball movement is nonsensical after 50/50 challenges
Dribbling is absolutely terrible, feels like PES
Manual cross balls and lobbed through balls behave strangely
Lots of buggy animations, even some PES-like skipping (?)
Penalty system is so, so, so bad
Postives:
Menus aren't laggy anymore
Manual through balls are more responsive and behave less irrationally (but don't feel so good anymore)
Can finally turn off automatic player switching completely
Kaka is the central figure of the game, which amused me considering the current state of his career
Feels no good at all to me so far, unlike the first time I played 08, 09, 10 and Euro 2008. I'm sure I'll get more used to it, but this is very reminiscent of when PES turned shit.

Only the demo, which I didn't like as much as FIFA 10. I think this game would appeal more to people who liked that game, but it's gone even farther away from FIFA 10. Feels nothing like it.
I've only heard bad things about the WC2010 penalty system. Sure doesn't seem like they've made any improvements to it.

I thought the FIFA WC penalty thing was class, it's much harder to score now until you do the tutorial (you'll pick it up straight away), and the keepers make much more realistic saves. It's more lifelike IMO.
How long do you get in the demo btw? Last year it was 2 mins a half iirc.

Can't be the same system then.
Nah, I don't know, can't make a proper judgment yet since I apparently don't fully understand the system. The AI's penalties were just absolutely bizarre though. Mensah would have improved them.
Says 3 min halves but feels shorter to me.
