On the heels of winning 25 international gaming awards with FIFA Soccer 09, the top-selling soccer franchise from EA Sports is surpassed with FIFA Soccer 10. Responding to consumer feedback from over 350 million online games played, FIFA Soccer 10 gives players new levels of control and innovation to experience the beautiful game like never before. Featuring core gameplay refinements based on responsiveness and intelligence, on top of an already potent game engine, FIFA Soccer continues to set the benchmark as the most complete soccer simulation. Key Game Features - Virtual Pro – Live out the fantasy of being a real life soccer player by creating yourself in game with a 3D head using Photo Game Face. Play as yourself across any mode. Grow your player attributes through 200 accomplishments and take your Virtual Pro online to become a global superstar.
- Pro Club Championship – Create an online club with friends and play 10v10 against hundreds of thousands of Virtual Pros from around the World, with the top clubs battling it out to become Regional & World Champions.
- New Practice Arena - Work on individual and team skills in a fully featured practice mode before stepping on the pitch. Select the number of attackers and defenders you want in play (e.g. 11v11, 5v5, or even 5v3), and practice in open play or from set pieces.
- Customizable Set Pieces - Design and record your very own free kicks and corners on the training ground for use on match day to outwit your opponent. You have complete control over your players, with the ability to assign a specific movement to every outfield player on your team one at a time, and then combine them for the perfect set piece. Record them in the Practice Arena, then trigger then in game using the D-Pad.
- 360° Dribbling - The first-ever true 360° dribbling system in a soccer game provides finer dribbling control, enabling players to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible.
- Skilled Dribbling - All-new animation warping technology provides unprecedented control. Skilled players now have the ability to face a defender and use highly-responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him.
- Freedom in Physical Play - Wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender.
- Manager Mode Authenticity - More than 50 major improvements were designed to create an authentic experience to mimic the real-world game. Match results are based on team and player strengths and weaknesses. Player transfers are determined by multiple decision points, including club finance and prestige, and competition from AI-controlled clubs. Player development is more realistic with true-to-life growth curves.
- Refined Goalkeeper Intelligence — numerous improvements mean that goalkeepers now have more urgency and better perception of where to intercept loose balls, resulting in a more responsive and powerful rushing system. New animation warping technology provides game-realistic goalkeeper positioning and momentum, resulting in more varied scoring opportunities.

 FIFA 10 PS3 February 24, 2010
T. Snyder (AZ)
I have been playing EA Sports/FIFA since 1998 World Cup and just about every year I say to myself, "How can I justify paying $60 for the new version?" But, just like EA wants me to do, I buy it just about every year...
For me though, I think I've got my money's worth out of FIFA 10. It's always fun to play/ waste time with when I should be doing something more productive with my life. The action is pretty much non-stop once the game gets started, so soccer has always been awesome on the consoles. For me, the fast pace is a great reason why I buy a soccer game every year - no timeouts, no call-the-next-play, no pitch-selection, no free-throws, etc.
Things I like about FIFA 10:
The Create-a-player is very good. I like that you can gather experience/level up's in different areas of the game. So if you're playing in the practice arena, you can get points there. If you're playing with your created-player in the Manager Mode, you can get points there.
Gameplay is good. Actually when I started, it was a little frustrating in that it's definitely harder than in previous years to score goals. It does take practice. Even dropping the difficulty down a level, it was still quasi-difficult to score when the teams are evenly matched.
I've played a few (not a lot) online games. My experience there has been pretty good/ pretty stable. Sometimes I will get a game that is really lagging/ slow. I suspect that it's either my internet connection or my opponent's though. I've found that it's either a nail-biting close match or I get completely destroyed.
Graphics are great. Animations are good. The number of real-life stadiums is pretty good too. And I know it's lame to say, but I actually like the soundtrack.
Things I don't like:
Skill moves - as another reviewer mentioned, the skill moves are difficult to use in most matches, so I don't really use them a lot.
OFF THE POST! - as other reviewers have mentioned too, an absurdly annoying amount of shots end up hitting the post. That issue drives me crazy.
Manager Mode - This is where I've spent hours of my time. Overall I'm just not really loving this piece as much as I would like to. I want it to be something epic, but it's just blah. It's not significantly better than last year's. The transfers are easy to understand though. I've taken to now just searching for Any status (instead of For Sale only) and buying players from lesser divisions for cheaper fees/much cheaper weekly wages.
EA, I would love it if you could do something where you create your own club in the bottom-most division of England/Germany/Spain/Italy/etc. You would create your own Team Name, City, Colors, Jersey Pattern(s), Alternate Jerseys, Sponsors (and how that would look on the jersey), Customize your Stadium, Name your Stadium. Then you would start your journey with some random players and a budget. Then over the process of 10-20 seasons, you try to work that club up to the Premiership/Bundesliga/La Liga/etc, and into the Champions League, etc. Now, that is what Manager Mode is missing in my opinion.
Overall though, FIFA 10's a great game especially if you don't have last year's already. I feel like I get my money's worth out of it, so that is why I keep coming back year after year. I'm generally happy with the game.
Great game to have February 23, 2010

FIFA Soccer 10
I tried this game at my friend's place and was addicted right from the start. The multi-player online mode allows you to play with people from all over the world. There's a mode which allows you to play head to head with another player. Additionally, there's a team play mode, where you're able to play with up to 21 players and you get to choose the position that you're in. Of cos, fastest fingers first.
The multi-player online mode of the key features of this game that makes me buy this game. Computer AI are not as flexible and unpredictable as the skills of a real life opponent. It is ,of cos, more challenging to play with a good player who's sitting in front of his TV playing this game with you. This coupled with the decent graphics and music makes it a must have for people who loves soccer console games.

I bought this because my boyfriend wanted it, and he seems to really like it. Specially the fact that he can play against his friends through the internet.
Good graphics and I even like the music. I am not very helpful but I am not an a FIFA games expert.

The graphics are great and the controls are not complicated. I am now a big fan of soccer especially the English Premier League and La Liga. Have not tried the online aspects of the game but playing against the CPU is fun and there are tons of teams to choose from.
The Greatest soccer game yet! February 14, 2010

For anyone whose played any FIFA game in the past, you can expect this game to provide endless hours of intense fun and competition. There are a few changes, however...all for the best. The players have full 360 degree control, whereas in past FIFA games a player can only move up, down, left, right, and diagonally in each respective direction. The dribbling system for tricks has been improved and works great!
My only flaw is it seems the computer rarely gets any foul called, yet when I'm playing, I get called on for many more things, even when I reach the ball first. Maybe they did it to speed up the game so it wouldn't stop so often because of fouls, but it's very one-sided, almost as if the refs were programmed to favor the CPU. That's really the only flaw I have. The goalies are a lot smarter, the shooting is simple but not limited, and the pace of the game seems perfect to me. The graphics are really good, and the soundtrack is different but fits the game rather well (minus a few annoying tracks).
Overall, I give this game a 9/10 simply because of the way the fouls are called to CLEARLY favor the CPU. there's always room for improvement, but I like FIFA 10 much better than FIFA 09.
