FIFA 10: the next-generation soccer gaming experience

Here’s my two hundred in video game fifa10;

Graphics: The graphics of this version of FIFA are much better than previous versions of the game. The players look more realistic and can be compared to those of PES 2009 (although it is much better). The player’s shirts, shorts, and hair move and their breath can be seen on a cold, snowy day. Players’ facial features can be seen more clearly. This is probably THE next generation soccer experience.

Available platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, PC, Nintendo DS, N-Gage, PSP, Mobile and iPhone via the AppStore.

New features:

• To ensure that the attacking team does not have an advantage on the counterattack, the defensive line or “the defense” will be placed deeper. This was done to improve the realism of the game.
• 360 Degree Dribbling System – A new system that allows players to make more “precise” passes. These ‘precise’ passes were not possible in previous versions of the game.

Enhanced Features:

• Manager Mode: Building a 5-star team is now much more difficult. This means that you can’t just buy a lot of highly rated players and expect your team to become a 5-star team. You have to gain experience with your team. Another great thing is that your pre-season friendly matches are organized by your ASSISTANT COACH! I thought this was super cool.
• AI has been improved.
• The execution of set pieces has been improved. This means that scoring goals or crossing from a free kick/corner is much easier.

David Ruther revealed the following features on his Twitter account:

• The defending wall against a free kick can be moved through the use of the shoulder button.
• The game will not feature dynamic lighting.
• Cross passes are now generally much more driven and will take about half the time to cross the field.
• You can assign specific stadiums to clubs.
• On cold days, it may snow and the breath of the players will be visible.
• There will be new crowd effects.
• There will be a new training mode, similar to the one in the PS2 version.
