***The Official Fifa 10 Thread***

Having had a week with it, I think it's worse than 09.

Shooting is poor - shots are never really directed no matter what way you're facing, and power is a complete lottery.

Crosses are a waste of time - defenders just clear it 99% of the time, and the other 1% your striker just spanks it over with a free header and an open goal.

And there are still bugs in there from ages ago... i've just had the CPU beat me with a shot from the half way line which you guessed... my keeper just dropped. EA, how about fixing some of it?

So far, disappointed.

I do enjoy Fifa but I feel I have to agree with most of what you said. I hope they patch things up soon.

Hmm, I think shooting and crossing it is A LOT better than 09, crosses are great, yes you are not going to score everytime (like real life) but I score plenty, and miss plenty. The amount of bend, dip, curl you can get on some is great.

Shooting is vastly improved too, hitting the target from 30 yards out is now possible rather than the ball acting like a beach ball on 09.

I've yet to really start hitting long range efforts, I still can't get past the frequency in which close/mid range shots go just wide, or one on ones that hit the keeper for too often.

Haven't been putting much time into footie games for a while now though, so I'm fully open to the possibility that it's not the game's fault, I'm just ****.

Has anyone encountered an issue with the game freezing when you have two people playing online?

I had this issue with 09 and now 10, EA have never fixed it. I've had to delete my whole FIFA profile to sort it and that included my BAP player :(

After googling it seems a common issue but now sure if there a fix, it seems the problem is to do with the controller config on the second controller.

Had a similar problem after setting up a custom config on a second controller, had to delete all my FIFA data to sort it. Have gone through the same config process again tho and everything is fine now.
 
tbh in comparison to 09 the lag is much better

1 red bar in 09 = jerkovision slideshow utterly utterly unplayable.

1 red bar in 10 = still playable for me. I was surprsed at how much.


Anyone came across this bug in Be a Pro seasons? my vp has been slowly getting better. Iny my second season i was 81 overall (not counting form bonuses which usually push it up to 85 or 86). But when i start my 3rd season i am back down to 78 ?? so i thought ok weird ill just have to build up again. So i play some games get the usual form bonuses and also some accomplishments but it still reads 78 overall. (both in main seasons menu and in the player stats screen) However if i play a exhibition be a pro match ill be down as 80 and when i check my stats improvements i do see that i have improved. It just isnt being reported in seasons mode i think. Its a bit annoying having to quit OUT of seasons just to check whether the games youve been playing have lowered/increased your stats.


Other random stuff :

Advantage mode doesnt work great. There has been so many times where i have been brought down on the edge of the box and i think great a freekick BUT if any of my team continue with the ball (regardless of what they do with it) then its no freekick. The ref should be checking to see if my team8s actually do smt useful with it and if not pull it back to the freekick.

Seems harder to do finese shots high into the top corner with pace either outside or inside the box.

Shooting power is immense :D Definietely an improvement over 09 only thing is ive been smashing them against the bar/post.
 
still plenty of bugs in this for me. two biggest gripes are;

off the ball fouls. i've lost count how many times its been 2 on 3 upfront and i'm racing ahead, look to see if i can play the through ball and the cpu has knocked over my player buggering up my attack. no foul is given either.

players falling over. these are full grown men, not children. i don't have a gripe with them falling over. but the ratio at which they do so is just silly.
 
Hey Skippi90. Sorry about last night. I literally had to run out of the house that second after the match as I was running late! :p

What a crazy match it was. Does the game normally lag that much for you? :confused:

edit: i don't suppose you could make me a Northern Ireland sig like yours please? :)

Cheers!! ;)

Nope. I've had lag very rarely in 10. My sis was on the laptop though so maybe affected conn. Was 3 bars though.

The lag we had last night was the worst I have seen in the game yet...

skippi90 said:
Good game. I cocked up with goal kicks twice.

True. Truly crazy. I would say the lag definitely affected how we played overall. Be interesting to have another without lag...
 
I made the switch from PES09 to FIFA10, and on the whole it's a far better, more engrossing experience.

The graphics are better, the commentary is better, being able to play from all 4 English football leagues (playing in League 2 w/Cheltenham Town atm :D), the depth of all the modes, Manager mode is far better than Pro's Master League and a good few other things too.

I'm having a bit of trouble with controlling and aiming shots and also crosses at the moment but i think that's due to it just being different to Pro and me having to get used to it.

Also one thing that is doing my head is this jostling business. Barry Hayles (huge Cheltenham forward) gets muscled off the ball so easily as well all my other players, but this seems to affect any player in the game :confused: Also if you play as a lower league team you only have a handful of subs and reserves to choose from and they get tired and fatigued so quickly, you seem to start a lot of games with them well in the orange?!

I do like the little touches like being able to play on the pitch whilst loading and also football news in the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

I'm thinking of doing the same :)

been playing the fifa demo and the controls seem so much different :(

If you change the control method to New Alternate the only thing that is different is that sprint is on RT. Shoot will be on X and crossing will be on B :) I'm trying to get used to having both fingers up on the R's though with sprint being on RT and Finesse shooting being on RB :o

are you playing your vp in his correct position? when playing out of position, it brings the overall down..

if not, i have no idea :(

Well im CAM but i sometimes play in LM or RW or LW and yeah i checked what my score would be in the different positions.

im just a squad member of man city atm (so basically he chucks me in CM) so that couuld be it actually. As soon as im made captain ill check it out.

I do like the complexity of the rating system though. You get points for almost every aspect of what you do.
Although i dont think you get an assist point if you shoot and the keeper saves and your team8 scores the rebound.

So they need to fix that. And im also not entirely sure you get much points for creating space for another player to score. I can draw 3 players my way if i do a run which creates a big massive space for another player to go on and score but i get nothing?

Getting into positions is still part of the real game of football :p

Hardest accomplishments for me to get are the headers, bicycle kick ones and the lobbed through balls.
Managed to get my vision up to 96 though (including form though :D)
