For any of you who want to play 90 minute matches (45 minute halves) with a running clock in FIFA 10, here are the steps involved to achieve this.
1. Create a file called locale.ini (not locale.ini.txt, make sure it is an .ini file) with the following text inside it:
[]
HALF_SECONDS=2700
and place it in your fifa main directory.
2. Create a file called user.ini and add the following text to the file
[OPTIONS]
CLOCK=3
(there can be other text in user.ini, but just make sure CLOCK=3 is the first text entry line under [OPTIONS])
3. Remove A.PROFILES from your Documents / FIFA 10 / A.PROFILES folder.
(This is an important step because unlike past games, like UCL 06/07, you can not just open up your existing A.PROFILES file in a hex editor change the variable of CLOCK=1 to CLOCK=3. If you do this, when you start the game, it will say cannot load profile and you will be forced to create a new profile anyway. Removing A.PROFILES file first will allow you to have a backup of your old profile. I know this sucks that in FIFA 10 you have to create a new profile to get the running clock, but it's worth it trust me)
4. Start up the game, and when the game starts it will ask you to create a new profile.
5. Go through the steps of creating a new profile, making sure you set all your game settings to your liking. For Match Length, it shouldn't matter what you set it to since the game is reading HALF_SECONDS = 2700 from locale.ini. I set it to 10 minute halves in game, but it shouldn't matter what you set it to in game if that locale.ini file is in your fifa main dir.
6. Make sure to go into control options and make sure your control settings are changed from default to your liking.
7. Go to Fan Shop and unlock all secondary kits, stadiums, etc. You may have to earn points before you can do that or not. (even though it may say you have 0 points) You can download an unlocker patch if you are unable to unlock all the items in fan shop when you create a new profile.
8. Go into an exhibition match and start the match. Make sure the clock is running at real time speed.
9. Run out of bounds on the sideline. Observe the clock as the ball is bouncing out of bounds. As the CPU throws the ball in bounds, observe the time when the clock reappears. Confirm that the stoppage time has elapsed based on the time that the CPU took to inbound the ball.
10. Gain possession of the ball and kick the ball out of bounds on the endline (over the goal or to the side of the goal) so the CPU has a goal kick. Observe the clock as the ball is going out of bounds.
11. When the CPU is preparing to take a free kick, notice the clock has elapsed about 8 seconds.
12. After a goal is scored in the match, observe the running clock prior to kickoff.
13. Once it is verified that the clock is running and it is a 90 minute match, quit the game.
14. When back to the main menu, save the profile if you haven't already.
There you go, now you have a new profile with the ability to play 90 minute matches with continuous clock and stoppage time.
Have fun!
This is great for testing and observing fatigue and stamina over time.
