Re: FIFA Soccer 10 Demo Available in Europe (17th for US), Post Impressions Here
I'm not in a position to post my impressions yet, mainly because I'm struggling to get to grips with the demo.
I will say that there are things that I like a lot and things that annoy me greatly. If the bug fixes are sorted then the final game will be excellent and a definite improvement over 09 but it wont be as good as PES5. That game was ahead of its time, its still the best football game to date IMO.
I'll keep plugging away and post my impressions later today.- Waiting for PES to reclaim it's throne, looks like its going to be a long wait.

Only certain players can do the Rabona and it's sort of random when it happens. I believe it's in here:

I've tried downloading it multiple times with my German Xbox Live Silver account and it keeps saying "this offer is only for our Gold account members"
Did you download it with an account from another region? I have also made UK and Japanese account and so far as I can see neither of them have the demo available yet...Comment

I don't know what to say. I downloaded it with a German silver account the day after it came out (I made my account the day before, so I guess that was last Monday, downloaded on Tuesday). I do have a United States Gold account active on my system if that would have any bearing on the situation.I've tried downloading it multiple times with my German Xbox Live Silver account and it keeps saying "this offer is only for our Gold account members"

I couldn't use my UK account that I had made in the past, so that's why I created my German account the other day, and it gave me a free month of Gold.I don't know what to say.

Re: FIFA Soccer 10 Demo Available in Europe (17th for US), Post Impressions Here
Downloaded both FIFA and PES demos for XBox 360. Got to the FIFA one first and have played 2 games, both 1-0 wins on World Class (Barca v. Munich and OM v. Juve).
Thoughts:
360 is noticeable. I felt like I could make my players run at angles previously unavailable to them. This was nice.
The through ball to the striker is not nearly as effective as it was on '09. Defenders actually stay with their man and make this play very difficult. This forces the user to be more creative with their build-up, which is a big plus.
Game still has the same annoying stadium cutaway for subs, but I understand that this is an old build of FIFA '10 and hopefully that will be gone.
I did not experience any quick free kicks, but did get a non-cutscene yellow card, which was a nice change of pace.
Free kicks are MUCH better. You won't blast everything over the bar if you use any power like in past FIFA's.
Opposing defenders do a much better job of closing down. It forces the player to pass and move. There's still nice flank play, but you won't be able to carve through the middle as much as past versions.
I was a little annoyed that I had to hold the Y button to make my keeper come claim balls in the box that the AI should have just made him charge naturally. I know Victor Valdes has his issues, but he's not that dumb (right, right????)
Through 2 games, there are certainly nice subtle improvements from last year's game, while some annoying things remain (passes going to the wrong player/no one at all) and clearances out of your own box never seem to go as far as you'd like, sometimes going only to the edge of the 18. Time to fire up PES and see what it has to offer.Comment
