Thanks

great comment btw, i am downloading now

When real soccer came out I was amazed at the game, and I could not believe a game like that was available on the iphone. I played it non-stop, well as much as I could. I ended up getting all the cups etc… and that was it, everything else was very much boring. I played all the games on Normal. I tried to play on hard and no matter what I did, I could not get the passes to stick, long passes/lobbed passes did not have a chance etc. Furthermore, I was disappointed after a while at the predictability of the game. More often than not, you don't get a loose ball scenario. The ball is always on a players foot etc… One thing I enjoyed about Real Soccer 09 was the controls, they were quick to learn, and the tricks were easy to execute, but at the same time when you are in a pressure situation it was awkward. One thing that I hated about some of the soccer games, was making the shoot button as the slide tackle button ? I don't know why you want to do that. When you are in a penalty area, and trying to go for a shot the last thing you want to do is slide tackle the goal keeper and get a red card. At this stage I thought that Real Soccer was the best game out, especially the best soccer game on the iphone.

I purchased X2, purely because I was bored of Real Soccer 09. When I played X2, I found it to be a bit more fluent than Real Soccer, it was a lot faster and little more enjoyable. The concept of teh loose ball was there, and it was enjoyable. However, I have noticed people stating that the graphics on X2 is better or the best, and I don't what version of X2 everyone has but my one sucks! When the player runs, it looks like a three frame gif image on repeat. There is no sense of motion in the game. After spending so much time with Real Soccer, X2 had a little but of getting used to. But in the end you realize that compared to Real Soccer 09, X2 is probably something that will give you a little bit more enjoyment for a longer period of time. The controls good, the introduction of the third button is great. The commentary is awful, I don't know how many times I've hear "Timed it well and took the ball", but the replay controls are great. The teams etc.. comps are pretty crap.

I then realised that Real Soccer 10 had come out. I was pretty happy when I saw it on the app store, and I had to check on the internet to make sure that it was legit. But when I got Real Soccer 10, I was really disappointed the game play was exactly like Real Soccer 09. There was no new controls/tricks etc… it was boring playing it. Enter the legend is great, and multiplayer mode is great (if it doesn't keep jogging and quitting unexpectedly). It looks liek there are other comps etc, but all in all regardless of how many comps you have if the game play is ordinary then the game soon become boring.

I had real soccer10 for about 3 weeks before seeing Fifa 10, the strange thing was that I was reading an article about Fifa 10 for Xbox/pc and was thinking when EA will release it for the iphone. I straight away got the app, started it and went it to quick game to get the feeling of the game. I thought that the menu structure and everything is great, but the game play felt hard (even in the amature mode), the controls felt impossible and everything just seemed too hard. I gave up on FIFA10 for a couple of days, and then gave it one more shot. I went into the training to figure out how to cross the ball, strike etc… I then went into Manager Mode (selected Liverpool) and started a season with them. 10 games in and boy has the feeling of playing soccer on xbox returned, the excitement was all there (p.s by game 3 I was playing semi-pro, and by game 8 I was playing Professional). The game feels real! The player movements etc are all great. I started to get teh hang of the controls, and started to understand the how to play it. This is by far the best game of soccer on the iphone to date, and I think EA is on to winner. However, I hope EA invests a bit of money and fix up some of the gripes people have stated. Just to name a couple of mine 1) The direction controler is annoying, check out Real Soccer and X2 to get some inspiration. 2) A,B buttons are tiny(I know that you can increase the size of the buttons, but it doesn't work for me and I've reported a potential bug) and sometimes non-responsive, EA should consider bringing in a third button. 3) Add some tricks to the player instead of one trick per player. 4) It is difficult to shoot in a penalty area when you are scrambling, I haven't been able to do that yet. 5) Replay controls are crap! 6) Applying pressure while defending is crap, once your player is behind the opponent there is no chance of getting the ball. 7) Please allow shielding of the ball!!! Need a better way to sprint, its hard to bring the player off sprint to make a tackle. Actually tackling itself needs to be re-visited. 9) Online multiplayer, Even though it sucks in Real Soccer 10?? 10) Ditch any further advances in the accelorometer, it is great as a gimmick… but you can't really play it at an airport/train/while you are waiting… well you just can't play it in public without looking like there is something wrong with you!

What are of the areas that I have enjoyed about Fifa 10 ? Well the manager mode absolutely rocks, there is definitely re-playability in this game with this feature, it doesn't look like it will end with one season. Some, yes that's right, some of the controls are actually pretty good once you get the hang of it. I like the idea of combos!! Be a Pro rocks my world! Overall game play, the intensity, the likeness of real soccer!

I believe Fifa 10 is by the best game on the Iphone at the moment, probably only game that will eclipse it will be Fifa 11 or RTS game of some kind! Fifa 10 takes some getting used to, but looking at the game that's ok because you'll most likely be playing this game for a long time! There are some areas to improve, which I hope EA will bring out a good update shortyl…

Thanks for reading this.

FIFA 10 is good, although i noticed during replays of successful goals the looks of the players are changing like the hair will turn from blonde to black then blonde again. But the game is great overall, quite more challenging compared to GL RS10…
