EA SPORTS FIFA Online

EA Sports has been working on FIFA Online for a while now, and having been a part of the first Beta back in February, I felt that the game left me with mixed feelings. Well, Beta 2 had just started and things seems to be picking up, EA said that they took the players feedback from the first beta and implemented several new features to be tested out this go around.
