Coming from a country where soccer is our life, and being a soccer player myself, this is the best and most realistic soccer game I have played thus far. This also coming from someone who's been a Pro Evolution fanboy since Super Star Soccer came out for Super Nintendo. For more than 13 years I've played Konami, Konami, Konami and always defended their soccer games no matter what, and in my opinion I was right, but this year EA Sports really slapped me in the mouth. FIFA 10 is just very realistic in movement of players and ball physics, it gives you so much freedom to dribble (the right analog stick is dedicated just to dribbling), lots and lots of animations, intelligent AI and amazing online play, not to mention Be a Pro Mode, which is really making Become A Legend from PES look bad. Playing with someone else is also always exciting, and not two games are the same...whereas sometimes I felt they where that way in PES.
CONS: The only two cons I can honestly think about is lack of Champions League either in Be a Pro or Manager modes...and the inability to save your replays, both of which really, REALLY suck so bad, and I hope they're implemented in an update.
This is really not an in-dept review of this game, this is just me as someone who's been a PES fan from a long time ago telling you this game really grabs the soul and passion of soccer and puts it in your screen. I'm not saying PES 10 sucks in anyway, but after playing both, I liked FIFA 10 better. If pro evolution improves next year, I'll go back to it, but until now, FIFA10 remains the best soccer game I've ever played.
This is a must for someone who's looking for the greatest soccer game up to date.
The best game of socccer youll get this year. When i first got it i tried out tournaments, manager mode, virtual pro and more, i was more than plaesed with this game, absolutely recomended. Graphic are superb, gameplay is fantastic, manager is very good, so if youre thinking of buying this game i highly recomended it, much better than pes 2010 and i know because ive played it too, no comparison, FIFA 10 is way off better.
This is the best soccer game I've ever played. It is very realistic and offers a lot of possibilities. The previous soccer game I played was Fifa 09 in the Wii, then switched to Fifa 10 in ps3. I must say it was a gigantic change, but it was for good in the end. When I started playing it I felt like I was trapped and was never going to master the game, it was just too hard for me. But if you really try and take time to master the game you will feel how it's just awesome in almost every aspect. It offers hours and hours of fun, even more when playing with friends. I've passed a lot of time playing it and hasn't gotten old.
Graphically it is very well polished. I must say that it can look better when you have a closer look of the players, ball, field, etc, than when you have a wide view. Some things might be too colorful in my opinion, but they still look good.
I think the best thing the game has is the playability. Being able to make tricks, various shots & passes gives the game a lot of depth. Something I like is that there is nothing scripted, like certain movement you do will always work. You can always be stopped or miss, it's not like the old soccer games where you could have certain formulas for scoring or getting the ball.
The things I don't like is that sometimes the responsiveness when making a second player run is not too fast. Also the 1 on 1 online multiplayer is very difficult to connect with other player, even when trying to play with friends. That's not the case of the team multiplayer though, that is very easy to access. Also sometimes the passes don't go where you want 'em, but you get the aim of it with practice, though it still happens even when you have experience but not very often.
Overall an excellent game. So if you want a realistic soccer game this must be it.
"Just to say it is what i expected.. The play is more real in each new version.."
"Excellent for the soccer fan. Very entertaining, although it has a bit of a learning curve."
