Today, EA Sports has announced additional key features to an already stacked version of FIFA 2010. If you have ever wanted to show an instant reply of your smiling face heading in a ball to win the EPL in extra time to all your friends, well now is your chance.

Starting today, players can begin to upload their faces through EA Sports World at EASports.com to have their Virtual Pro ready for kick off on September 17 for the North American demo and then ready for offline and online play for the official release on October 22.

Another sweet feature is the My Live Season addition that gets much more indepth than last year’s attempt. Each Wednesday, players are able to download roster updates that are affected by transfers, injuries, results, performance and league standings. This offers the ability for gamers to update their offline and online versions of the game to match the weekly feel of their favorite leagues. The available leagues to feature My Live Season premium service will be Barclay’s Premier League, La Liga BBVA, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A and Mexican Primera Division.
