***The Official Fifa 10 Thread***

Just played some guy spurs v arsenal - won 4 3. Rematched liverpool v utd.... and i won 9-0!!

He wasn't even that bad and most of my games end up 1-1. Torres and gerrard are immense

edit: I also did the classic Reina 08-09 long kick that bounced straight to torres and scored.. felt very realistic :D! as they did that a lot last year

Utd don't seem that good on 10 but Liverpool are very hard to beat with even other good teams, I don't know how EA managed that.
 
Grr so much wanted to throw my pad at this last night i was beating newcastle 3-0 and got to last 5min and they got 3 goals o.O they cant even do that in proper football lol >.<

I either switched off very badly or did something stupid!
 
very annoying game, I know exactly how my opponent is going to score against me and half the time I still can't stop them. Drives me insane, no problems going foward but I'm usually so good at defending on fifa, this incarnation is just all over the place

Rooney is insane on it, and Berbatov is still ridiculously quick.

He's not that quick and he's not as tank-like as Ibrahimovic. The main weakness though is in midfield and defence, Gerrard ends up bulldozing through them because they are pathetic. I think Utd are actually closer to a 4.5 star team this time around, especially if EA reckon Arsenal are 4.5 star.
 
I'm having a horrific time defending against cheap goals as well, it's the bundle the ball foward, ricochet through 3 defenders and chip the goalkeeper.

I can barely keep clean sheets and have had about 10 games so far where I've been beaten by 5 or 6, that didn't happen once last year :/ I haven't just suddenly become a bad player. It doesn't help that I usually choose a 3.5/4 star team and go up against the big boys, but still, the game is so unbalanced there's no chance of me doing what I could do last year and beat players who were barca with a 1 star team.

Free kicks are too easy to score. Especially if you have a notable taker.

i cant even get close to scoring a free kick, can you give us all a guide? how do you line up? how much power, what buttons do you press?

my cousin can score 9 out of 10 free kicks and he wont let me in on his technique, giving him a free kick within 40 yards of the goal is like giving away a penalty, he can even hit them straight at the keeper and they go in.

choosing a 3.5/4 star team is a sure fire way to get defeat when playing someone within the same skill range, its like being a portsmouth supporter then being dissapointed when you get beat by man utd, did you honestly think you had a chance? theres no point in complaining if your getting beat by a much stronger team, ibrahimovic will destroy 3 star teams because he can easily beat 5 star defenders so would crush 3 star defenders, your best bet is to pick a similar team to the opponents
 
I'm finding it much easier to score freekicks, got about 4 so far compared to one fluke that I got in 09 from a deflection. Unfortunately the A.I also scores them ridiculously easily.
 
Another one struggling with FIFA 10!

09 was great, but I echo other peoples comments regarding the "fun factor" being missing from this version.

It's almost as though EA have made it TOO realistic now, that it's just not fun to play any more.



Oh, and free kicks...doddle in 09, and nowhere near in 10.

This really isn't a dig at all, but looking through what you are saying about the game on the last page, do you not think most of the 'problems' you have listed in the game would not be there if you just played more and basically, got better? :)

I'm really enjoying fifa 10, it's different to the last Fifa in the fact that there are more options for people to use, meaning i find many different styles of play online from people who try to use the new skill moves, quick passing or still continue to try lofted through balls from 09. It's more exciting i feel, rather than the obvious tactic 99% employed last year, over the top to pacey striker.

I don't know why i quoted this particular post, but I might aswell add that they do seem a little easy, but saying that while I can score 90% myself upto 32-33yrds ish and I know a few who can, only some I see online can, and it is often not the better ones :confused:

Overall I'm loving this Fifa, just seems there are more optionsto test out, even just the nice backheel flicks player do from a few yards out is nice :D

My beef isn't with the MP though which are the main points you have said are great. Mines with the SP which matter s more to me as I'm a SP gamer 99% of the time. :)

Of course your right it will get better with practice, what I found weird was going down to semi pro has made no difference to how hard the games are for me. In Pro I was scoring 1 or 2 goals and semi pro is exactly the same. Nicking a game with a goal and if the AI gets one chance they bury it.

On 09 if I was to play on Semi Pro I'd score double figures in goals no matter who I used against the AI. None of that is a complaint, just an observation :)

It doesn't seem to matter where I pull the trigger from or if I use finese or not my conversion rate on 1v1's is atrocious :D

Its nice to see AI get sent off far more in this version though, I also get a lot more freekicks.

How about a guide on freekicks from all those saying they are easy ;)
 
Face wide of the goal or face the goalie(depending on angle of free kick) Hold RB and push up/left on control stick and power bar just under half way. Easy FK goal from 25-30 yards

See I hate the fifa manual, RB isn't even listed as an option in the manual for a free kick :confused: LB is to drive it and for aim is just left and right on the left stick. What does pushing it up do?

I used to like the evo strategy guide books, they always were crammed with detail. I wish they did one for fifa. Edit just checked they do one this year, buying that then.
