View larger. | Gameplay
FIFA 10 delivers a true soccer experience to the consumer soccer fans and gamers alike, with authentic club and leagues licenses as well as new tailored gameplay enhancements and innovations that combine to create the complete soccer simulation. On the heels of FIFA 09, the world’s top-selling soccer franchise, EA Sports invites fans to experience a truly tailored gameplay experience with FIFA 10 for PlayStation 2. Key Game Features - More Responsive Gameplay – various areas of the game have been enhanced to allow for a more fluid experience. Heading and crossing have been improved, player switching is now more effective, skill moves are now easier to pull off, players now have the ability to auto-evade slide tackles in certain scenarios, and quick free kicks have been added so the user can keep the game tempo going.
- Individual Team Styles – New Team Styles will allow you to change your style of play based on your opposition to create a more dynamic experience while exploiting weaknesses in their game, and building on your own teams strengths. There are 9 attacking and 5 defensive general styles, as well as 13 special case teams with their own unique style of play, based on the real world.
- Pre-match Scouting Reports – Learning to play professional soccer the correct way is even easier now with insight from your manager. Scout Reports will provide a pre-match scouting report helping plan your attack against every opponent, highlighting their team style and key players to watch out for, giving you tactical advice on how to beat them.
- Be A Pro: Club and Country – Take your player from the beginning of his career to the peak of international stardom in the new revamped Be A Pro mode. Grow your professional player at the club level and work your way into your national team in one of the most grueling challenges of any professional players career.
- Season Mode – Similar to Manager Mode, but without some of the complexities such as player transfers and salaries, Season Mode provides a more accessible option of guiding your favorite team to glory. Take your club through the most in-depth Season Mode to date and compete in official league fixtures, cup and continental competitions. This mode allows you to focus on playing matches with the current crop of players available in your club, making it a lighter, faster way to take your team to the top.
- Updated Collision System – New collision avoidance system means that players are less likely to get in the way and collide with team mates.
- Improved Teammates Support – Team mates are now more intelligent, providing a greater level of support. Support runs are now more effective, and there are increased passing and crossing options as a result.
- Improved Goalkeepers – Goalkeeper AI intelligence has been improved, so that keepers now make more authentic decisions, with improved variation in shot stopping and deflections. They are quicker off their line in 1 on 1 situation, and behave in line with their overall team styles.

 From a soccer novice March 18, 2010

Soccer, like hockey, is something that I've watched only occasionally (usually in international competitions). I've almost always enjoyed it and thought I could at least pick up on who was dominating who, but any semblance of strategy was definitely lost on me. So it is with this mindset that I am reviewing FIFA 10 for the DS.
I've never played a soccer game on the DS, so I did not know exactly what I might be getting into, but I have played a previous EA Sports title on the DS (Madden 09, see review) and this does help provide some frame of reference to this game. EA Sports has a knack for putting out games on the DS. They always get a solid version of the actual game in place (football for Madden, futbol for FIFA) and then cram an insane amount of other things into the cartridge that add extra replayability.
In this case, the actual game of soccer is really enjoyable to a novice like me. You can pick up and play on the easiest level and usually win a match 3 to 0. I've turned the difficulty up one to Semi-Pro though, and have probably won 2 games and lost 7 since then. I just can't seem to muster any offense, though I am getting better with the offensive and defensive strategy options available via the touch screen. Is your defense too slack when the ball is in your territory? Just move your thumb over and change your strategy to "press" and your guys will clamp down. Are you not getting enough chances on offense (my problem)? Use the touch screen to change your strategy to "overload" and throw more guys in the box. It's a fun and fairly easy to use addition to what is already a fun game of soccer.
In addition, there is the Be a Pro mode, where you choose one guy and are locked on him the entire match. It's not as good to me as the actual game and it has a weird camera that is always focused on the goal, but it's nice for a change of pace if you want to take a break from the usual soccer game.
The other modes consist of Multiplayer (Single Card play available), Manager mode (sort of a franchise mode where you build points managing a team), Training mode, a Penalty Shot mini game, and Cup play, which is a tournament mode that can be played in any of the several leagues in this game (US MLS included, choose International League for World Cup). Like I said earlier, there is a ton in this game.
The graphics are pretty good in my opinion, but more importantly, the game plays very fluidly with absolutely no slowdowns ever, which is really important in a game that requires split-second decision making. This game is definitely a 5-star game to me, and I would highly recommend picking it up if you are looking for some good soccer on the go.
***Update*** After playing a little more, Manager mode is actually a real franchise mode, where you can play through 5 seasons with any team on the game (or a custom team). I originally thought it was only a place for you to make managerial decisions and simulate games.
Also, Be A Pro mode lets you change the camera so that it follows the ball and is not ultra-zoomed in on your character. I find it easier to play with the "End to End" camera which shows you a behind the ball view with a pretty good zoom level. You can't always see your guy on the screen, but it's much easier to follow what's going on and allows you to pull yourself a little out of position in order to make a play. That's all, still 5 stars.

I know that the FIFA games tend to get a little better every year, and I always think to myself," This year's installment is great, but..."
Not with FIFA 10.
I've only played the manager mode with the team I support the most, AS Roma, but simply from that experience, what a difference in the game play. I liked last year's addition of an actual referee pointing the flag in the direction of team possession, so of course, that made it back to FIFA 10. New additions to the FIFA game include; a full schedule for your team, including preseason friendlies with teams in your league, and with teams all over Europe; improved player likenesses, including the way indivual players move (Francesco Totti actually moves like Francesco Totti); weather changes to go with day and night games, including rain and snow; in the rain snow games, most of the players on your squad switch to longsleeves, which was a feature missing from the previous FIFAs; it's easier for defenders to tackle and win possession, which makes the game more difficult but lends to the realistic aspects a real match; and right and left backs can actually push up the sides of the field, which allows them to score and gives more team members besides just your strikers and attacking midfielders a chance on goal.
The only problem I have with the game is the price, and the fact that I'm a full time student without the time to play the game as much as I'd like. Fully recommended to any fans of the previous games. And just think to yourself once you play it...it only gets better from here.

This game is just pure fun. The controls are smooth, responsive, and customizable. The graphics are nice, when you zoom in close. I like the fact that you can play in the MLS, Mexican League, K-League, and all the minor leagues in England. Manager's Mode is ok, but the game makes up for that with a fun Be-A-Pro Mode. Every soccer/ futbol/ football fan should own this game.
Makes it impossible to go back to '09 November 12, 2009

I didn't know what to expect at first as far as improvements - but the control upgrades have changed the game. We still sneak a few games of '09 at work in when we have a break and you can really feel how clunky the controls were and how dynamic they are now.
I love it
Only warning is - be prepared to practice. This isn't a simple sprint and breakaway game. Learning the new moves is what makes the experience

I just got the game a few days ago but things I noticed so far. The game is really fluid and a little faster than 09. Quick free kicks when you get fouled mid field the player will simply pick up the ball place it down and GAME ON GARTH. Getting carded is no longer a cut shot but simply the ref runs up to the player and books him (the camera angle stays the same).
Dribbling is much better you can now absorb contact and push the ball.
Again game speed is much faster so you don't have to use turbo all the time and burn out your players come 2nd half. Shooting from distance now works in 09 and previous years the only to score was on a breakaway or 10 feet from the goalie (Gerrard Lampard we doing work this year)
Let me stop rambling. Fifa 10 is a great game alot of people would say PES. I was one of those guys but Fifa 09 really put the ball in their court and 10 just improves off last years game.
Madden junkies that want to play a sports game where it doesn't take an hour to play a game pick up Fifa you can probably get about 4-5 matches out in the same time it takes to play a madden game online.
