An excellent game with many glitches. From now on, please forget about PES and just enjoy FIFA 10.
Being disappointed by the performance of PES 08 and 09, I'm too impatient to wait for playing PES 10. However, the fact is cruel. After playing the demo of PES 10, I'm shocked by the animation of the player. Although both stadiums and the players look vivid, the action of the player is as stiff as its predecessor.There are no essential change in it. Hereafter, I bought a XBOX 360, and meanwhile heard that FIFA 09 is awesome. So, I buy FIFA 10. After playing FIFA 10 through, I'm on FIFA's side again.
FIFA 10 is an important milestone in sports games area and also a real next-generation football game. Thanks for EA Sports. It develops so excellent game for gamers and footy fans. If you're a true football fan, you'll immerse yourself in it immediately and neglect some glitches of it after taking your controller.
It's the greatest football game by far. The action and physical crash of the player, the physics effect of the ball and the sound effect are fairly real. 360-degree player control does a good job and basically realize better separation of human and ball. Of course, you can easily do many skill moves. Virtual Pro is a novel game mode by the way. All of these make the franchise closer to reality.
Well, let's talk about its flaws now. As a game, there are too many things may make you frustrated.
1. The blurred mini map. I'm not able to counter my opponents comfortably without the help of the mini map.
2. No name on the player's head. After all every player has his own feature, you cannot use Gattuso as a playmaker. Well, you can choose player names displayed in HUD, but it's obviously useless.
3.The face and model of player are awful, especially compared to PES 2010.
4.The manager mode doesn't offer you plenty of fun, and it's worse than Master League. For instance, you'll find some indispensable players and future stars in the list.
5. The game menu is complicated and unfriendly. I've no idea why both PES 2010 and FIFA 10 abandon the hexagonal attributions of players. You can conveniently manage your team with it.
6.Long pass is not real.
7.You'll find that the goalkeeper is stupid at times.
All in all, FIFA 10 has better performance at the gameplay, and PES 2010 does a good job at the game system. Of course, the gameplay is more important than game system. FIFA has been already done the right things, while PES just does things rightly.
