FIFA Soccer 10 Full Game Impressions

[shadox]

I can just agree...

Fifa 10 on all-assisted / never tried
Fifa 10 on semi-assisted / quiete good
Fifa 10 on all-manual / fu''ing brilliant!

For the people who have never tried all-manual before:
Be patient...it takes some time to get used to it. Lower the difficulty until you feel comfortable.

You also have to play patiently. Don't try to force things like you can on semi or you will be screwed. Furthermore, be prepared that the CPU will play completly differently when you go for manual.

I am so happy, that they made manual a bit easier this year.
The tolerances for directing the pass or shots are a bit higher.
Absolutely love this!

Have anyone post-patch impressions? The first small fix (34mb) should fix the overtoned agression by the CPU on Pro.
It was released for PS3 on thursday and shall be out or the xbox today.

Guys,

I dont have the game yet but can I get a sense of the new manual controls on the demo? I assume it is more tuned in the retail version but can try it on the demo to prepare for it?

Plz if anyone could help me..
im new to fifa and have a couple of questions:
1- when i pass the ball, the passer runs forward about 10m.. this is ok with midfield and ST players, but can i stop my CB from doing that? is this an option in the game or is it just programmed like that?

2- can the formation be customized, i mean can i freely change the players positions (like it was on pes) or just stick to the saved fixed formations? i tried to change the positioning at 'team management' but couldnt find this option

PLZ REPLY IF U KNOW

I never tried all manual on the demo, but you will definitely be able to practice using them. Even if it's been tweaked in the retail version, which is likely, the fundamentals are still the same.

I just played my first all manual and got beat by Arsenal 1-0 Man U, on world class so i was quite pleased. Although my crossing and passing in the final third was woeful.

Thanks. I will try it. I didn't like manual last year but if is improved on this year I may try it.

Not sure about #1 but for #2 you have to create a custom formation. Not sure if you can do it in the middle of a game iteslf but I think you can do it if you go look at teams from the main screen. There should be an option to create a custom formation

If EA patch the goal keeper ,fifa 10 will be great.
But on normal speed the game is too fast.
