Bluechamp, I read you from Italy, so forget the poorness of my english.
I read your strategies since last year, but I bought PS3 and Fifa 10 this year, after having played PES in the past and Fifa 9 last year, so now I have something real to comment on.
I do agree 95 percent with what you say, don’t agree on the final vote, which is a little too tight….
In any case the real problem, as you say, is in the gameplay.
Following your hints in the tactical guide, I prepared eight diffent levels of play trying to give a different style to the teams. So there’ a slot for the teams battling not to go to serie B (Bologna, Chievo, Catania,Livorno, Siena), than young teams with a nice style of play but let’s say a little ingenous in their behaviour (Bari, Parma), and so on with team fighting for a Uefa Cup placement (Napoli, Palermo, Genoa, Sampdoria and Udinese), then teams looking at the champions league placement (Fiorentina, Roma) and then the top teams such as Inter, Juventus and Milan.
But the Fiorentina plays differently from Roma, and the same can be said for Inter and Juventus, which are rather phisical and Milan which is more talentish, if you allow me to say so. So I tweaked these teams a little bit more in order to give them a style close to reality. Hard job.
I played a few games, things go much better, but still far from what I think of realism.
In general what I don’t like the most in Fifa 10 is the following:
Speed: all the teams play too quick. Playing like this, they’ d be dead by twenty minutes.
I hate when I play against a second division team, which plays almost all the time pressing you as if they were cocaine consumers, they pass each other the ball at a speed which is frantic, every occasional rebound is theirs, and then, when they are by your goal, they play like idiots not shooting from ten metres and going back towards midfield. But be sure! They’ ll score with a free kick as if they were all Maradonas.
This is really annoyig. Let’s be clear. I don’t want to win easy. I want to win if I deserve. But I don’t want to have the sensation to play against the sons of God when Iplay against Brescia.
In reality, if I play Inter against Brescia, out of ten games the results will be: once I lose because I am tired, three is a draw because I am a little bit unlucky, and then six times I win, mainly scoring two or three or four goals.
In Fifa, if I don’t work on the tactics, against Brescia, or against the worst team in the Portugal League, I have to be happy if I win at the end of prolonged times, scoring 5 penalties to 4. This is too far from reality, and honestly, frustrting.
I’ll work more editing and editing, then I’ll come back to you.
Greetings from Milano
