Summary

FIFA MANAGER 10 gives players the opportunity to find out who really is the best manager. It features a vast array of all-new features including, for the first time ever, a separate online mode where players can play against each other over LAN and internet. With this online mode, EA SPORTS responds to requests that have been expressed by fans of the popular football management simulation for a long time. In the traditional offline part of the game this year’s new features are based 100% on requests from the fan community. More than 400 improvements have been made across the board and of course you still have full control over the management of a football club. You are responsible for the line-up, the tactics and the training of your team - as well as for signing the right players, improving the club facilities and the stadium. Special highlights are the player manager mode, the national team manager mode, the Create-a-Club mode and the Match Prognosis Tool. [Electronic Arts]

FIFA Manager 10 brings a new visuals with a powerful 3D engine for the matches. We can be a football player, a coach or the president offering many options perfect for the soccer fans. Sadly It has several problems in the matches engine but the game is more focused to the spectacular way than realistic. The best addition is the multiplayer online mode. The best FIFA Manager untill now.

The best FIFA manager yet but it lacks the depth to make the big time.

MEGamers

The series is improving, which is certainly a positive. It still has some ground to cover to beat the Football Manager series however.

Although FIFA Manager 10 innovations won't make your jaw drop, they give it personality and make it show that competition in the sports management genre is still hard.

The best version of FIFA Manager I've played and has a level of depth I've not seen before from EA. [Jan 2010, p.93]

FIFA Manager 2010 is too shallow as a purely tactical coaching game to entice the real fans of the genre. However, the game has so many other aspects to lure in the more casual gamer. If you can create a gaming experience that suits you from all the possible options, then this game is worth a purchase.

Meristation

FIFA Manager 10 comes without extreme realism, but it is designed to reach our goals faster than other games of its kind. It is not necessary to trace a complicated path from the start of our career to our greatest achievement, because we will be able to get them from its own beginning. The graphics are superb, maybe the best we have seen in this game series. It is a smooth and enjoyable game, halfway between a simulator and a comprehensive management title.

A flawed gem. [Jan 2010, p.79]

Telegraph

Whilst FM10 tries its hand at all aspects of football management, it isn’t entirely successful in all its pursuits and does end up lagging behind its older, slightly more mature brothers.

RealGamer

The football side of things is fairly solid, but sadly the game includes too many duties that simply aren’t part of being the manager of a football club. Then there’s the personal life aspect to deal with and coupled together they really stop the title competing with rival games. Often leaving you overwhelmed and spoiling the playing experience on offer, which is a shame as it will probably drive football mad gamers else where.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

Perfect presentation and great playability are no surprise in new FIFA Manager. Pity there’s not much improvement since last years version and players/teams database still sucks. [Issue#186]

Everyeye.it

Fifa Manger 10 is a good game with a lot of stuff and hours of fun. You have the total freedom to decide to be coach, manager or president, or event every one of them at the same time. In the end the game has a solid multiplayer that can give a long lasting life during the year.

Eurogamer

While FIFA Manager 10 is by no means a poor game, there's an underlying suspicion that the energy that's been pumped into the hit-and-miss multiplayer features would have been better spent on genuinely innovating the single-player game, which sadly feels a little too similar to last year and a little tactically thin compared to FM and CM.

Eurogamer Portugal

It's a fun game, with its appealing look and a little background sound that gives it a casual air.

Boomtown

The game completely failed to charm me and it lacks an addictive hook. A valiant but ultimately doomed effort to break the dominance of the old firm, FIFA Manager 10 is set for mid table obscurity.

Gameplayer Sweden

Even though it is a game falling slightly in the right direction, it doesn't feel like a serious attempt at making a proper sports-management game at all. It's way too much and way too little at the same time. EA seems to just have wanted to put as much stuff into the game as possible, without looking at the product as a whole. Fail.

Macca gave it a6:
I have all 3 of this years management games (CM10, FM10 and FIFAM10). I only purchased this game a few days ago. It has some bugs, but by far the worst thing in this years offering is the 30 FPS cap on the 3D matches. Trying to remove it just results in crash after crash as I believe the coding of the 3D games are dependant on the framerate. Still, playable, but dissapointing. FM10 still reigns supreme this year, with CM10 a VERY close second this time around.

Francis C gave it a5:
It has nice graphics, but if you are looking for a management game, do yourself a service and google "Football Manager 2010" from Sports Interactive. Same price, twice as complete from a manager's point of view. The graphics for the matches aren't as nice as FIFA Manager, but that is because the focus was put where it needed to be: Management. If you already bought this game, you should STILL give Football Manager 2010 a try, it's much better than EA's game.

bigA gave it a10:
A complex easy-to-use fun game, with no enoying deepness or complicated tactics. More enjoyable and fun than FM or CM. Since FIFA Manager 05, it's the most attractive yet. It's not as complicated as other football management games and it can be real fun to gather money and buy things, taking care of your personal life or handle club's merchandising. You could do all the things, thus spending a lot of time with training, talks, tactics, PR, fans, buildings, stadium, prices, etc., or you could just make your assistents do all the things, only enjoying the 3D games.

Dragos C gave it a2:
It could be a much better game but it's full of bugs. The worst part is that after the official updates the game became even worse. Instead of enjoying a nice game you're going to kick yourself for buying a game full of bugs.

Paul E. gave it a9:
Even though it is not a perfect one, this is a game to enjoy. Playing in 3D will give you the sense of your tactics and trainings do produce effects. The CaC mode offers you the chance to create a club to own and to develop it to the highest of your expectation. The game has an active cominity and the patches they produce really improve the game further. It takes little time to start to enjoy it but support also hours of continuous play without becoming boring.

Jakob M gave it a9:
I've always liked the easy access in the game and how there is so many pictures of playser so you dont have to remember all names and in the new game they've dome it better ... if you dont like the easy access and would like the heavy theory based games then football manager is for you ...
