Fifa 10.

Anyone else brought this?

I got to confess i'm struggling with it so far. Loved 09 but this new one doesn't seem quite right in terms of gameplay, far to much pressure from the opposition, means that possession is swapping sides all the time. Maybe I need to get used to it, but right now i'm not sold on it.

Just can't get into this years one, going to trade it for PES I think next week.

I've enjoyed the little I have played of it so far. Been messing with the gameface more than anything, it just seems everytime I try making myself I come out looking like frank sidebottom with a desperate dan type chin.(Some might say that is what I really look like though so it maybe spot on)

Based only on the demo, I'm really not sure about it.

09 was my first real move away from PES and although some things frustrated it was a great game but those frustrating elements seem to have been heightened in 10.

The big issue I have with it is the way challenges, including headers and jostling, are determined. A player goes in for a tackle or header and there seems to to be no rhyme or reason who comes out on top.

Maybe its all based on numbers but more often than not it seems as though my player goes into a complex animation after a tackle that ends up with him losing the ball. Either that or he gets barged about 10 feet off of the ball. I've tried various ways of approaching tackles and timing on jumps without much luck.

PES seems to be getting a hard time again this year but may wait to see what its like. Ball physics and player animations especially seem to be getting a roasting but seemed ok on a couple of videos I've seen.
