FIFA Soccer 10 Demo Available in Europe (17th for US), Post Impressions Here

I was wondering, how do people play at day?

I can only play in the FIWC stadium at dusk.

So basically, everyone plays the same...route 1 pushing the ball up the middle mindlessly and tip it to the flank for the cross is still the CPU's offense...and your players still have no brain of their own. That sucks. I can keep '09 to get the same satisfaction.

Welp...PES...let's see what you got.

not liking this... I'm not sure why but FIFA does nothing for me again... I was big in to FIFA 08 when it first came out but now I don't seem very interested.. this demo just made me more excited to test the PES10 demo now actually

I don't know how many of you have been play human v human, but me and my roommate have played 10+ games these past couple of days. It plays so well in multiplayer. There's none of those lobbed through balls every time and there are actually a lot of fouls, even with "A" tackles. I'm really loving this game. Against the computer it's kinda iffy, but playing against a human is really fun.


PS: Diego is disgusting in this game.

That's really what I'm hoping for...multiplayer has the potential to be fun again.

Nice avatar Bahnzo!

I was able to download the demo today on the PS3 since I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to do it on the 360, and I have to say I enjoyed it. The 360 movement was very well done and easy to use. For those of you who can't feel the 360 movement I question which game you're even playing.

All in all...not a whole lot of difference. I still think I like PES more...but FIFA is a fun game. I'll be getting both footie games for the 2nd straight year.

I pretty much have the same reactions as others here. The movement, animations, and ball physics are all great, but the AI, CPU and friendly really drag it down. They've got the game mechanics pretty much nailed, next year they need to focus hard on AI and team tactics. Despite the improvements I'm not having as much fun as I did with 09.

I haven't played too much, but I get the feeling that this will be a much better multiplayer experience. I've forgotten how much the default CTTs screw with the gameplay. Looks like I'll be setting aside a day to create & assign tactics to all the major leagues and top teams from the smaller leagues. It helped a lot with 09, so hopefully it will do the same for the AI in 10.

EDIT: Just had one of those games as mentioned by Bahnzo -- 6 fouls for the CPU, only one on a slide tackle. It appears that if you're patient and a little clever on the ball, especially with skilled dribblers (I was Barca), you can see fouls. Saw a few wrong-footed defenders stick out a leg for a call, actually remember a waved off advantage so make that 7, and also saw two shoulder charges through the back as I received the ball which were never called in prior years. Let's keep our fingers crossed, indeed...
