Possibly the best sport game I have ever played: great game play and variety of game modes, only a few bugs make it 9.5
> Manager mode is great and last for very long (15 seasons). One criticism: lack of balance between the difficulty to buy good players and the very good young players you can get from scouting once you upgraded to 10/10
> Be a Pro brings another dimension to the game play: you play only one player, 3rd person
> Virtu Pro can be very addictive in a role play kind of way: you will play hundreds of matches to achieve all the accomplishments (score diving header, do goal line saves as a defender, etc.) Very fun to be able to give your own face to your virtu pro with Game Face and celebrate your goals in game!
> I have not spent much time on Live Season yet but it looks like it's another world and more hundreds of hours of game...
The arena is also a great feature: you can practice tricks and moves between games and during loading. Very cool!
Impressive game! Except for a few bugs here and there (in the game play and in the manager mode where scouted player don't have a name sometimes) it's almost the perfect game. It's going to be tough to do better in 2011. Good luck to the EA Sports developers :o)
