The fifa series has always been my personal favorite in the football genre , and this year they have not dissapointed, EA have worked really hard this year to work on community feedback and get the fans the things they want.
firstly , the graphics on fifa 10 are very good , the improvements to crowd movement , weather , the pitch , the players and the stadia have all been enhanced. the smallest details give fifa that true authenticity , a good example of this is the emirates where around the border of the stands fifa has the titles arsenal have won.
the weather although brilliant , is annoying at times , the rain speeds the ball up and can also slow it down. The snow will freeze the ground and make the ball bounce higher, the effect of weather is also noticable on the players as they run around in gloves and undershirts, as well as there breath showing on cold days , and seeing the mist of rain through the floodlights creates a fantastic atmosphere.
The gameplay , is the other big improvement of this version , new 360 dribbling allows you to take the ball anywhere as long as you have the skill. The game modes remain the same bar one new addition of virtual(more on that later). The game has basic kick off mode allowing a straight match between an opponent , the manager mode where you can take any of the wide array of teams through their respective leagues. there is then the virtual pro which acts as the background plot, as you create a player who you can then build up by playing him in manager mode and be a pro mode completeing challenges. be a pro mode is where you take one player in a team , or your vistual pro and attempt to take him to the world cup, every football players dream.
finally the online , depending on your internet connection you should have no real problems . the only downside i have found in online is 10v10 , but that is down to other players, who no matter what there position all want to score , a great game with mates but frustrating with strangers.
fifa 10 allows 4 player offline annd up to 20 online
