The fans of computer games have a new surprise in fifa 10 league, the latest in Fifa series of football video games. The game was developed in Canada. It is available in versions for play station 2 and 3, Microsoft windows and Xbox 360. The portable play station and mobile phones can also host the handheld versions of this game.
The main feature that makes this version different from the previous versions in the series is the manager mode. This feature bears the solutions to various challenges that the previous versions exhibited. The most changes can be noted in versions hosted in playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 modes.
This version introduces the total football experience through a feature that allows the player access to the manager's world. This includes access to player transfers, allocation of fixtures and the outcomes of foreign leagues. Assistant manager has been introduced to take charge of team's line-up in matches and to play or rest particular players in anticipation of an upcoming fixture. The Xbox 360 and playstation 3 host pre-season friendly matches to prepare the team prior the season. The version rates teams on the basis of their performances in the league games, the experience and skill displayed by the players. This way clubs compete on a status basis with clubs on a stronger status listing higher in the league standings. The team management can improve the status of the team by a careful selection of players making specific appearances. Major league games should feature the experienced and skilled players while the upcoming squad can play in less determining games.
The player can virtually manage his team by changing the playing style, the player's positions and naming the line-up for each game. He can decide who to start a game with or who to bench in the light of the importance of the game at hand and the successive games.
Financial management is a factor that rocks the real football arena with team managers risking investment on player transfers and player allowances. The game assigns the financial control to the player through a team sponsor and a board of directors who determine the team's budget allocations on the various fields. The player controls the transfer period depending on the club's player needs and the amount the board releases for new signings and club improvement. The managers take bids on players they are interested in simultaneously and eventually sign-up the players whose clubs accept the transfer offer.
The player has a chance to build up the experience of a favorite player and improve the players rating. As the team manager, the player sets up hurdles for players during matches and follows up the performance scales of the target player. There are other options such as mental and physical skills that are considered alongside performance in the pitch in rating players.
Fifa 10 league supports virtual pro options that enable players to participate in Fifa club games through self created players. The player creates a virtual player with specific characteristics and can play alongside friends in fifa friendly matches. The games are played in all the major stadiums in Europe and players can change the features of the stadiums such as names and sitting capacities to match those of their home stadium. All possible weather conditions that can be experienced through out the season are additional features.
