FIFA 10 Xbox 360 Game

FIFA 10 follows in the footsteps of the best-selling football franchise by EA Games. A proper football game? In response to fan criticism EA Sports FIFA 10 promises sophisticated ball control, 360° dribbling , ball trapping intelligence,  clever passing options, authentic shooting,  better physical interaction, fatigue of players, position priority defense,  and yet we still haven’t finished, there’s even more new FIFA 10 features; in  team thinking about urgency and more responsive player positioning, a new practice arena - work on individual skills in a practice mode prior to stepping on the pitch.  So many exciting new features, but let us not forget the gameplay wishes - next up are the refinements.

FIFA 10 Refinements

1) Prevents 1-kick goals
2) Prevents lofting 1:1 with keeper
3) More fluid graphics
4) Skip cut-scene for free-kicks
5) Week by week real world football updates

Outside of 1 on 1 gameplay, Manager Mode is hugely popular. In FIFA 09 the Transfer System was motivated by finance, but in FIFA 10, the Team and Career prospects rule. Such as where you’ll play – European Competition and the Transfer System should take into account the position of players and number of those making up a squad. FIFA 10 is more about player development. Pro mode, the football management side of the games has biding on and selecting a transfer from your candidates if more than one (e.g. striker) offer was accepted.

Overall FIFA 10 provides enough newness to presume ‘09 owners will trade-in their game. 360° dribbling could make or break this title. Having 8-way direction for dribbling wasn’t too limiting, it definitely made gameplay easier, which is where I wonder about difficulties of 360° dribbling.
