I have played PES a bit (when it doesnt lag) and I remember getting beat 6-0 and the guy sent me a message at the end of the game saying I was the only one that never quit after he scored 4!!!

someone tried to force me to quit when i was beating him in pes. he kept running the ball into his own net from kick off for about 10 minutes when the game was in stoppage time. he eventually lost control of the ball and the game ended at 19-0 to me. . if he just quit in the first place it would have only been the standard 3-0 so his goal difference took a severe hammering.

Playing within the last two weeks I have only had about 4/5 quitters and one cheater.

I hate when people get lucky (undeserved) goals :mad:

corcaigh07

ive had people quit on me only 1-0 down very early in the game. very cowardly, very possible to come back from 3 or 4 goals down if you have the will and resolve.

i ment to asky this a few this but what is manual controls and how do u apply them?? in options??

Manual controls does what it says on the tin - you control exactly the power and direction of the kick. Ye can change it in controller settings, not sure of the exact name of the menu but just press start during a match and ye'll find it. They will be on Assisted and Semi by default.

Was a bit worried Fifa 10 was going to be a let down after reading some reviews on different forums but downloaded the demo on wednesday and I think its a lot better than last years anyway. Gameplay is a lot quicker and smooth, passing seems to be quicker, shooting is better, and its possible to beat players this time unlike last years where it was basically impossible. The 360 dribbling isnt exactly 360' but its a big improvement on past games IMO and makes it easier to beat players and turn your opponent

Matchmaking online has changed for FIFA 10, you can now specifically search for matches by:

Team star rating (eg.Only 2 star teams)
Disconnection Rating.
Match Speed (eg. If you like it fast, play fast online)

Aswell as the old ones too.

you might want to work on winning instead of keeping lists of cheaters.

the only cheating I have seen is the people with the teams full of all the best players, is that all it is?

I very rarely get quitters even If I give someone a fair hammering. I like to think it's because i skip celebrations and replays so make it less painful.

Your one of the lucky ones so. I always skip replays and celebrations and still get quit on every second match. :mad:

i think the demo is awesome
360 dribbling is a nice new addition, as is the ability to finally get some decent crosses into the box:rolleyes:

10 days to go wooo:D

Has anyone else notices the refs getting ridiculously close to the action and getting in the way? Happened to me a good few times in the one game the other night, extremely frustrating.. Thats the kind of thing that would send me bananas online as sh1t like that invariably leads to a goal conceded!

ya i noticed that too, and Andy Gray just laughs(on commentary) when it happens
i have seen the refs jumping out of the way, or raising their legs so as not to get hit....just adds to the realism i spose

Kirby

Has anyone tried tackling the refs? I wonder do they fall over...or they have no clip mode and you go right through them.

They actually had those on Football Glory, which was a Sensible Soccer type clone back in the day! (on the Amiga!)

Haha class...One week to go:D...Only thing i hate about the demo is the effort of starting a game all over again.,.Dying for a full length match

lilywhitearmy

alright lads, long time reader first time poster


Was slightly disappointed with the demo but I get the feeling the full game will be a whole lot better. Couple of reviews out today

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/fifa-10-review

http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/102/1028164p1.html


Both very positive and really getting me excited about the release. FIFA has seriously surpassed PES in recent years, I was a FIFA player until 99, changed to ISS until PES 2008, which was terrible, while FIFA 08 had made great improvements. Hopefully it continues!


Will people post on Thursday evening if any stores have the game for sale early? I'm that mad to get my hands on it

Irishcrx

I've only recently started playing Fifa 08 having been a lifelong Pro Evo fan, I think my last Fifa was 98! so ten years on I didn't know what to expect from it but decided to give it a go and....well i'm sold , I think Pro evo 09 really pissed me off the gameplay just isn't improving nor is the game to warrent 70 bucks being shelved out for it, sound track was awful as always and I just love how "real" fifa feels will definatly be buying Fifa 10 instead this year.

Has anyone managed how to work out that "bridge" move in the game yet? I can sort of do it with messi when i slow down and flick it just before the defender/gk comes in. But not properly yet....

Im finding the likes of messi apart from his pace kind of not much use in the game because he gets brushed of the ball so easily.

Which is the bridge one?....

I think the opposite, i think players like Messi have MORE of an effect, if you control it right and take off in the right direction you can leave the defender for dust, and since the crosses work now you can get ball into the box more instead of always having to try cut back.

Their TRUE effectiveness will come to the fore in online, the computer will never stray too far from your player(when tackling) and you can't catch them out with quick turns.

Since crosses work now players wont be able to just hold the inside line to prevent you from cutting inside(like in 08/09) so wingers didn't play a massive role (as the line you wanted to take was obvious), at least now there's two options so wingers will have a massive impact this year

i didnt have a problem with the crossing in 09, i used to use aston villa online and the crossing was great for me getting the ball into Carew.. the wingers played a massive part in my game plan:)

Parawind

ya crossing in 09 was really effective if you worked at it. I was mainly a wing player and it served me very well. The crossing in the fifa10 demo is a bit odd, for some reason it was on assisted by default and not semi like in 09. When it was on assisted for some reason no matter what ball i put in it would float to the back post even with nobody there, thats not the good kind of assistance lol

Its when your running past a player and you put the ball one way and you run the other basically running around the player.

Mikeyt086

Nobody should be stuggling to control Messi. He is a lethal weapon in this game. The problem for some is that playing styles have a HUGE impact in FIFA 10, if youve got Drogba, you can run powerfully at defenders knowing if they come in and try to win it you can out muscle them. With Messi, you have to avoid the physical game and look to dribble to space, skilled dribbling "LT+RT/L2+R2" is your best friend here. Messi can cut to beat players effortlessly.

This is the bridge move done by myself with a nice result:

When a defender (or goalie) comes at you, flick the right stick (nothing else) where you would want to knock the ball. Its really easy to do.

Whats peoples opinions on using manual??

I never used it before but me and my friend start trying it out yesterday. It seems very good, especially for passing a through balls but It does seem like a lot more effort and does cause more random mistakes! But I would definitely keep at it, if I felt it would be worth it!

So do you lot use it? Did it take long to get used to?? Is it worth it???

Thanks

Ardent

Loved the PC demo.

Downloaded the PC version of the full game last night. Started a new season with Liverpool today and played a few games. From a former PES-er, this is an outstanding game. Everything is top notch - ball physics, physical interactions between players, player movements, keeper reactions, passing, shooting - it's got it all. You feel like you're immersed in a proper game of football.

Will be buying this for the PC the minute it comes out!! The king is dead, long live the king.

i always use it and think its the best way to play fifa, theres more satisfaction when you score. i started using it in fifa 08 and it took awhile to get used to it, there was alot of 1-0 wins and 0-0 draws. it did get frustrating at first but if you stick with it you'll find it hard to go back

I have been using it for a long time. Makes for a more fun game.

Kirby

you can get the best of both worlds tbh. If you leave it on assisted, you can manual pass by holding down LT and holding the pass, and it will ignore the assist and aim where you want.

It's more rewarding, you can play some brilliant through balls with manual on. It does take a bit to get used to but is definitely worth it. Makes the game more natural imo.

Ya i saw someone doing that before(in a vid) i taught it was just using the pass button lightly, so if you press the analogue without holding a direction(on the left one) he'll tap it as opposed to taking the run... i'll give it a go

does anyone know if tesco are doing a launch deal ?

Had some friends over for some 2v2 last night - played FIFA '09 (as a sendoff) and then the FIFA '10 demo. So much better! Matches feel frantic at times, pace is definately upped...It just feels better! Still some crazy going-ons - keepers can be erratic for one. But a very enjoyable game!

Roll on Friday!

T-b0n3

Thanks for all the comments regarding manual controls. I'm sticking with it for the moment and really enjoying it. Your in complete control and gives the game a much more realistic feel and way more rewarding

Really looking forward to the full game on Friday.

Unfortunately don't have live mate. Have a modded console and just never really use it. Normally just play with mates and stuff. Might try get Live set up soon though.

Does anyone know if you can change the controller set up in the demo? I've played pro evo for years, can't be arsed trying to get used to fifa's control system

Yeah, just select Alternate at that start screen after it asks you your skill level. Or go into the pause menu at the start of the game and set it up whatever way you want. I go for the Alternate setting myself, but leave the shoulder/triggers as they are. I prefer RT to sprint than RB anyway

Rynaldo

awesome demo.

Danow247

I must have played this demo about a thousand times by now! Im hooked on it! Havent even played 09 since it has come out! Roll on Friday, could be embarrassing what time i play to on friday night/sat morning!!


I dont know how i can enter into the boards fifa 10 league? Or is it still possible to?

I never thought of that. I wouldn't mind entering it either. I enjoy the demo and even borrowed 09 (after slating it last year) and am playing that more than the Demo now.

I'm really looking forward to this too, even have a Fifa night planned in the pub Friday night after hours

Ya it felt terrible going back to R1 in the PES demo last week, just didn't feel right

newballsplease

Bad points:
-The goalkeepers have a mind of their own..and not a stable one. They come out early FAR too often.

-The ref gets in the way a bit.

-The shooting takes a while to get used to.

-commentry has not(barely) changed now in 3 years.

-the match intro and teams lining up are exactly the same.

good points:

+easier to pull off tricks and skills

+360 dribbling

+some players are stronger the others, really feels like your strong forwaard has the edge over a weak defender.

+speed of the game

Are you sure about that ?

I tried it tonight and it just wasn't working. Manual is too much for me so ideally I'd love this setting. Are you sure it's LT on the 360 controller ?

Kirby

Yes. hold down LT, then hold a direction, then hold down A. Works for me anyway.

I sold FIFA '09 on Ebay for E2.98 because I know it would never feel right playing it after playing this demo.

I loved '09. But man is '10 is o much better.

At first glance you'd think it was the same game. But anybody that played '09 to death and then played '10 for a good period of time will tell you the gameplay is so different with the new elements such as 360 dribbling and strength importance.

Can't wait for Friday to come.

Blazer

Teams every a55hole is gonna pick this year.

1. Barcelona
2. Real Madrid
3. Man Utd
4. Chelsea
5. Man City

Hell I'd even say more will pick Man City than Utd..

newballsplease

Im still playing Fifa 09, STILL people continue to pick Man Utd..and wont budge off them. So sad.

Id pick someone like Cameroon.....for a change......not a movemnet out of them. Man utd. Man utd. Man utd.

This year it will be Real Madrid. How good are they gonna be?!

Yea that is frustrating.
