About the Developer: EA Canada
EA's largest development studio is responsible for some of the biggest brands for EA Sports, including the FIFA series, NBA Live, NHL and SSX. They have also just taken over the Fight Night franchise. Their offices employ over a thousand staff, with three separate production studios.

Manufacturer's Description
On the heels of winning 25 international gaming awards with FIFA 09, the top-selling football franchise from EA SPORTS is surpassed with FIFA 10. Responding to consumer feedback from more than 275 million online games played, FIFA 10 refines an already potent game engine, focusing on what matter most to fans.

On the pitch, critical gameplay fundamentals have been enhanced to ensure that FIFA 10 mirrors real-world football, providing more sophisticated ball control, and physical interaction. On attack, players now analyze space more effectively, curve their runs in an attempt to stay onside, create passing lanes naturally, and drive for more variety in attacking options. On defense, new concepts like position priority enable defenders to multitask so dangerous spaces left open by teammates out of position are covered. Plus, slide tackle targeting, press marking, and better urgency clearance logic provide new options that make defending a tactical skill in FIFA 10.

Three new innovations change the player control experience in FIFA 10. The first-ever true 360° dribbling system gives players finer control of the ball, enabling them to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible. Using an all-new animation technology, skilled dribblers now have the ability to face the defender and use highly responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him. An innovative concept called Freedom in Physical Play enables players to perform wider dribble touches and new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, and extended fight for possession between the dribbler and a defender.

A deeper iteration of the ever-popular Manager Mode features more than 50 major improvements, including new match realism, ultra-realistic player transfers based on multiple decision points, and true-to-life player growth curves.

New game modes, and innovations to popular features like Be A Pro, will be revealed in the upcoming months.

A big improvement over FIFA 09
I bought FIFA 10 for the PSP the other day and I can safely say it is a big improvement over FIFA 09.

The player movement is improved with much better collision physics. Shooting seems to be snappier and more satisfying. Goal keepers are better.

The commentary hasn't changed much appart from more player names are included, but for a hand held system it was excellent in the first place.

The graphics have improved, much crisper, with the players looking more realistic from a distance.

There are some nice little touches as well, like the types of goal nets used depending on the match you are playing. For example, a lower league match will have the classic rings at the top of the bar, higher leagues will have the 'pinned back' style and Wembley and other International matches will have a much deeper, pinned back goal. I know it's not a big deal, but the minor details are always nice.

Overall I recommend FIFA 10 as the best alround football experience for the PSP.

Improvement on 09
It's a slight improvement on FIFA 09.

The graphics are better, it feels more realistic and it's harder.

It's not a patch on FIFA 10 for the Xbox 360 or PS3, but for the PSP and it's limitations, you really can't complain. This is the best portable football game out there.

The only drawbacks for me are with the sounds and some of the gameplay. The crowd noise is unrealistic as is the 'thud' when you pass the ball.

Gameplay wise, trying to cross the ball is now very difficult, but this might be my technique rather than the actual gameplay! Also, as it has already been pointed out; the gameplay slows down after some corners are taken or when there is a packed penalty area. This is slightly annoying but it doesn't happen enough for it to be of major concern. This is simply due to the creaters squeezing everything they can graphics wise from the PSP system.

Overall this is a decent game for the PSP and perfect for that football fix when you're on the move.

better than fifa 09 but only just
This game is better than fifa 09 more features, better graphics and more players abut there are some bad things about it which drag the rating down for me

The commenators are the same no new anouncing other than naming a few more players
also when you cross a ball in or do a corner kick it goes really slow during gameplay which is quite annoying

but overall it is a improvement to fifa 09 but not much better in my opinion
