Responding to feedback from consumers of the more than 275 million games played, FIFA 10 further refines a success. The award winning Fifa 10 league game was released in 2009. In its first three weeks of sale in the UK alone, over one million games were sold. FIFA 10 became a record breaking game. Since then it has been winning audience approval and awards. Averaging more than 3 million online games played daily, the FIFA 10 game was the most competitive virtual sport in the world in the year of its release. FIFA 10 boasting a many improvements to its core gameplay and other modes and features has been an understandable best seller.
FIFA 10 is produced by Electronic Arts and sold under its EA Sports label. It offers a much enlarged roster of national teams, leagues and the number of active teams. Over forty teams were not included in the previous title, while including twenty five were not included in any prior game produced in this EA series. In this new addition to a bestselling series, players can be much more skillful and responsive on the pitch. The FIFA, FIFA Football or FIFA Soccer series of video games feature association football. Each new title in the series is released annually during the last 3 months of the year. The first title in the series was introduced in 1993. They are the first games granted an official license by FIFA, the governing body of association football. The use of real leagues, clubs, and player names and likenesses brings greater realism to the games and is one of the reasons each release is highly popular. The latest series installments feature many exclusively licensed leagues and teams from different regions. The FIFA games are available in 18 languages and 51 countries. It is one of the best-selling video game franchises. The 09, 10 and 11 series have all been record setters. The new FIFA 11 holds the current record for the fastest selling sports game ever sold, with over 2.6 million games sold and over 150 million dollars generated in less than a week after its release. The FIFA series comes in different modes and is complemented by installments based on major tournaments and series football management titles. Each annual title operates in different modes. Each year the next addition to the series carries features that are improvements or modifications.
Ultimate Team and Manager Mode
Significant improvements have been made to the 09 offering. Only users of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are lucky enough to enjoy it. Ultimate Team allows gamers to build their own teams. The number of players and leagues available has been vastly increased in the 10 version. Now, more than 7,500 players from 29 leagues are available. This has vastly improved the team building options and should make this mode much more fun.
There is also greater flexibility in developing playing chemistry between the footballers. There are different links in every formation between the players. While earlier there was only one team to build, now there are fifteen you can create. Tournaments are a bigger focus this year.
There are over 50 major improvements made to Manager Mode. There is more realism as you create your own world of football. The new financial system features club funds and player values that are more in keeping with the real world. A new formula has been implemented that makes players more expensive depending on which club they play at. Managers also have to satisfy club board of directors. The difficulty depends on which club individuals want to manage. This means in some cases it is easier to get fired, with managers on a shorter leash with some boards. Scouting has been more difficult as well. People should know that there will be no Manager Mode in FIFA 11. FIFA 11 will instead have the Career Mode. Now FIFA gamers can play through a footballers career through the different career stages of player, player manager and then manager.
The Virtual Pro option
Virtual Pro is a new addition. It offers the opportunity to put yourself in the game. A custom player can be added to any FIFA 10 game mode. Attributes can be altered, with improved stats the player can even play in the Club Championship. This mode is an improvement from earlier parts of the series. In the past you could create a player for use in Be a Pro or online club games, but could not use him in other modes. The Pro you create can improve stats in any of the modes you desire and can carry them over to another mode. Be aware that the character attributes scale to the physical attributes of the player. A shorter player will not be as physically challenging as a taller one, who will in turn lose speed with more inches. Faces of the creation can be changed any time. Players can also add attributes and make the player more realistic and unique. Generally in this version the improvements do not tinker with the basic FIFA template. But, authenticity has been realized more in this version. It builds on the EA tradition of improving on earlier renditions. Its enhancements deliver greater realism and sets the standard for simulation of the real game.
