Faster paced,but not always flowing
Graphics - Can't go wrong with the graphics their crisper and a couple shades darker than 08 - 9/10
Gameplay - Its a bit quicker than 08, passing is quicker, shooting's easy, free kicks are a lot easier to score from than 08 and the goal celebrations are great you press LB/RB, and A,B,Y,X and your player does a 4 differnet goal celebrations.
But when comparing gameplay to PES its still not quite there, but on the plus side FIFA has approved conderably, while PES is getting worse. 7/10
Be a Pro Seasons - This is fun to start off with,but only lasts 4 seasons, I think there are only 4 seasons your payer develops to rapidly. The camera angle is horizontal view
I started with my created player,you start off in the reserves of your club, and move up after about 10 games for me to a 1st teamer, Squad member, fan favourite, captain and then Legend, its similar to country as well, you called up for your country and after 4 seasons of Be a Pro you participate in the World Cup and if your team win it you reach Leagendary for your country. 8/10
Kick Off - play aginst the COM or your mates
Manager Mode - Nothing really new, you take control of your team andlead them to domestic glory or take a team from the lower leagues, and lead them through the deivisions to to top. PES now has the liscense to the Chmpions league, so in FIfA it is now known as the ECC Cup. 7.5/10
Xbox Live - This will keep you coming back, and there is now Be a Pro online and Online Clubs where you can play a match with up to 20 people, and play in a any position, theres ranked, just like kick off, (playing with your mates)yopu play people around the world, and there is rarely any lag. 8.5/10
Create a Tournament - You create a tournament, the same as last years, choose number of teams up to 64 and win your tournament 6/10
Free Roam Arena - Like last years, you can choose you player for the arena, and do tricks, score goals penalties, free kicks against the goalkeeper, and there is now more that one pitch. 9/10
