I'm giving this one a 9, and Jung, next year's a World Cup year so this might be your last chance to have a dig at the Italian team.
It's no wonder more FIFA communities and competitions are popping up. But for every thing FIFA 10 does wrong is does 20 things right, and this is really just the perfection stuff, it's stuff we only get to talk about when everything else is done so well.Īlso worth mentioning are the customisable set pieces, and training options in the arena. See that? That's the face of someone getting TRICKED OUT. Some players have more responsive dribbling than others, but it's not enough, technical ability needs to be right up there with speed and strength.Ī player like Messi shouldn't lose out every single time to a player like Evra, when in real life Messi tricks out Evra like nothin else. If you're used to La Liga or Serie A, you'll probably think the ref is being extremely lenient. Battles for possession are longer now, during which the ball is never 100% controlled by anyone, so if you're weaker, get rid of it quickly.īut this focus on fast, physical gameplay represents a very English style of play, and doesn't focus much on technical ability. The angle that you come in for a check is important in 10. It's a direction they've been heading down for 3 years now, and as a result, the main 2 stats this game understands is speed, and strength. The physical game of muscling players off the ball is still a main feature. Yeah that's a problem with all EA Sports games really, but at least this time around the matchmaking system will better attempt to get you games in your region and skill level. It can be hard to beat an A spammer online, because lag and quick reaction gameplay don't mix. But this really becomes a problem online when lag is involved.

Match tempo has been looked after though, the ref will play advantage well, and if the situation is right, you can take quick free kicks.ĭefence is still a little too automated, pressing A is all you need to tackle, and usually the counter to this is running stars around them. There's also a new skilled dribble feature, which is a lot like normal dribbling, and to be honest, we couldn't figure out what it was for. Not only are these things great for a competitive videogame, they all make it feel more like a game of football. There's a micro-game in every 50/50 where using the right players and BURSTS of speed instead of just sprinting all the time, can catch an opponent off guard. Less about sprinting down the wing, and more about clever 1-2's, pass and move. You have to watch stamina more as well, and this means a more tactical game. The player autoswitch will now pay attention to what direction you're holding, before switching to the right character. Best of all, there's less situations where the player was running left, you were holding right, and the autoswitcher made him stop dead in his tracks. Goalies will punch the ball out now, and you can rely on your defenders more for positioning. But once mastered, you'll find holes in defences that weren't there before.ĭefence and goalkeeper AI has noticeably been improved. This is a game changer, and it'll take you a while to get used to as you run the ball out of bounds a few times, misplace a few passes.

The Russian Premier League is new to the game, and our very own A-League is still there, and for the bigger European leagues you'll still be able to download weekly form updates that'll change the stats of players.īut the big news is FIFA 10 is the first football game to feature full 360 dribbling, as opposed to only 8 or 16 possible directions on a giant grid. FIFA's always been one of those games where you're still learning years later, and this doesn't change that, but the videos are well made, covering everything but the most advanced tricks. The potential is there to become a deadly FIFA player if you can master those long shots.Īnother big addition is tutorials, and it's about time. In fact, you'll have to take more care with shooting period, no more holding the stick all the way over, you've gotta really find that sweet spot just a little to the side. There are some big changes Baj - free kicks and long shots have been tweaked, so they're hard, but possible. Jung, why don't we start with what's new in 10? And the FIFA franchise's new engine is really starting to shine. Players like Messi and Ronaldo constantly amazing us.
Big transfers from Moneybags Madrid, and the equally deep-pocketed Manchester City. It's an exciting time to be a football fan. A well-timed release from the FIFA franchise is just what the doctor ordered, we reviewed FIFA 10 on 360. It's that time of year again, when antipodean football tragics wake at 4am to watch Champions League matches on TV, staring at some stadium with thousands of freezing football fans in Europe, as our own summer sun peaks over the horizon.
