World Cup 2010

Does anyone still have this game, and if you do is it worth a used purchase? I don't play online due to the knuckleheads so I'm not concerned about the servers being closed but I'm kinda feelin' a World Cup tourney for the Spring/Summer and was wondering if I should get this game or just create my on on FIFA 12.

I was looking into this as well. I'm like you and don't play online that much. The only drawback I can see, is that you can't download any of the roster updates, due to the servers being taken down.

I think it's worth picking up. At first I thought the gameplay was too tough. Eventually I realized it was better than FIFA 11. I liked the presentation, as well. I'm sure it's a bargain used. I do believe FIFA 12 is superior to all.

Yeah it's twenty bucks at GameStop, same as the DLC but with much much more content, and real players, thats always a plus! I'm gonna give this a go tomorrow.

Agreed. Presentation is fantastic. If it had tactical defending, easily the best game of the FIFA next-gen series, IMO.

And it's got Be a Pro (or Captain Your Country) and you can also take a team through all the qualifying rounds.

Presentation overall was pretty great. I still have it, but haven't played it in a while. Gameplay would be the only issue, but I remember having a great time with it.

I really enjoy WC 2010. It was criticized and soon forgotten bc it was smashed between FIFA 10 and 11, it was a $60 game with national teams and it had a short life-span. Going back to it now after tactical defending is a bit difficult (lots of turnovers and pressing), but for a more casual gamer it delivered. I play offline entirely and feel that the WC games were a little more forgiving if you made mistakes, and the qualifying and details in the game were pretty fun.

I expect it to be a totally different experience gameplay wise, and actually that's what I'm looking for. Although I love FIFA 12 and plan on continuing my CM indefinitely I will use the WC game as sort of a change of pace.
