Closing Comments
FIFA 10 perfects the formula laid down when the series made its debut on the current generation and the end result is a game that’s one of the most refined, polished and compelling takes on the beautiful game – and arguably of any given sport. While this year’s improvements might seem slight on paper, each one is perfectly pitched and works together to create an experience that’s an improvement on last year’s game in every conceivable way; the on-pitch action is superlative, its matches playing out with an authenticity that’s unprecedented, while the numerous modes present near-countless ways to engage with the action. The only question is where EA can take the series next? Improving on this is going to be one hell of a task.

8.5 | Presentation It's got the typical EA shine, though it can sometimes leave the player feeling a little distanced from the action. |
|
8.5 | Graphics A slight overhaul means better character models for the high-profile players - but some of the unknowns still look like Neanderthals. |
|
9.0 | Sound Martin Tyler and Andy Gray are, as ever, an engaging double act, and they're supported by hearty crowd chants and a slick licensed soundtrack. |
|
9.5 | Gameplay FIFA 10 retroactively makes the admittedly excellent 09 seem like a halfway house, such is its brilliance in depicting the game of football. |
|
9.5 | Lasting Appeal Manager Mode is now worth sticking with, My Virtual Pro an inspired addition and improved matchmaking means online is better than ever. |

9.3 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |
-----------------------------------------
I seriously don't understand how they can give it a 9.5 for Gameplay. I've played the demo and its average at best. Certainly not the most realistic football game, like they suggest. The annoying thing is, I know they are going to give PES 2010 an 8 at best :/
