I can't believe EA sports still refuses to port the current NHL series to the PC. Have you ever tried giving your customers what they want? Try it sometime, the results might surprise you.

May peace be on you sir. I have a question, since the date was Oct 2 ,09 to launch Fifa 10 for ps2 and others, i called up on of the shopkeepers here to ask for Fifa 10 and it was here on 1st Oct, so when i purchased it and played it, it was completely different. No Martyn and Andy Grey Commentary, the themes i have been watching in the trailer before was not present here in this game i bought. I am surprised and shocked about this things and i want to know whether a new Fifa 10 will be available in Bangladesh or not. The Game i purchased is named Fifa Soccer 10 .... please help me...

hello,

review score 92 is really very good. Congratulations! This shows, what EA Sports is possible to do.

But on PC there are scores of 60 percent, so Fifa 10 on PC is an unbounded cheek.

I've bought nearly all nhl, nba, fifa, fifa manager titles of ea sports in the last ten years. Also some tiger woods, mvp baseball, f1 and nascar titles. So I think i was a real ea sports fan.

But this year i will buy PES and NBA2k10. I need no consoles, I just want good PC games. And in future I won't expect those from EA Sports. And that is a shame.

Peter,

If you stop looking at the selling figure and log in into any forum try evo web) you will see an endless amount of bugs reported about fifa10. Manager mode is almost unlplayble (unless you like things like wayne rooney being a center back...) with hunreds of bugs in it. it is a real shame since the gameplay is excellent, but how you could ever realise such an unfinshed product is really astonishing.

New EA with good gameplay, old EA with tons of bugs. Did anyone test this game??

With spend 70 euros to play this game and its main mode, you can't get away with something so embarassing

55 item Manager Mode bug list

1) The Manager Mode freezing bug (where you can’t progress without your console locking up) is still there. One person has suffered from this and noticed that in his last save before this occurs, one of his strikers has no name and next to the form icon it says “-10118”.

2) It has been reported that transfers “lock” altogether after a certain amount of seasons (being linked to a disc problem).

3) All teams below the Premier League have their tactics set to all-70s. Applies to other leagues/teams as well, see Australia, Brazil and others.

4) All assists are credited to the goalkeeper.

5) Players you loan out can be sold by the clubs you loaned them to.

6) Newly signed players vanish from your squad with no warning. They just disappear, and then if you look them up they’re playing for someone else.

7) When trying to sign a second loan player, sometimes I am told by the game that I already have two – when I only have one.

8) When signing two loan players, I then tried to (permanently) sign two free agents, and I’m told I can’t sign them because I “already have two players on loan”.

9) 90% of matches in England are played at night in the rain regardless of stadium choice. I’ve yet to see a match played in the daytime with sunny weather.

10) Seasonal changes don’t seem to affect the weather. So in England, in the summer, you will see rain and even snow with no games being played in sunshine.

11) Signing players is practically impossible, even when offering maximum wages and maximum bonuses, even if you can get their interest level up to 85%+. (Even if you start out as a manager with no reputation, you should be able to sign really poor players with no reputation who aren’t getting first-team football elsewhere.)

12) Signing your own players is just as difficult, regardless of how well the team is doing. They refuse to sign even when you offer the maximum wages allowed. But if you wait until the end of the season, you get the same screen you get in FIFA 09 where you can just tick a box to re-sign a player and they will sign for peanuts! Strange one!

13) The board sack you even if you occupy first place. You can expect to be fired at the mid-way point of the season if you lose a cup game, even if you’re in the top four of the league, especially in the Premier League. Even in the lower leagues, I’ve seen situations where games are won 6-0 every week for months and suddenly you’re fired the moment you draw 1-1.

14) When playing against teams who are better than you, your board always expect you to beat that team. I mostly play as a League 1 team, and if I’m beaten by a Championship or Premier League side I get a board comment that states I was “expected to win the game”, and occasionally you will get the sack for this. This may be because teams aren’t recognised in their correct division; for example, when losing against a team from the league above you, you will occasionally get a message that says you should have done better against “lower league opposition”.

15) The assistant manager, even when turned off, will sometimes swap your players around.

16) The assistant manager AI is terrible. It will choose players with no fitness (10%-20%) to play out of position, over players with 100% fitness who can play in that position. See below for more info.

17) The AI management of other clubs is terrible. Examples; Chelsea play Terry at LB with Cole at CB in the same match, Man Utd play Vidic and Ferdinand as LB/RB with Brown and Evra as CBs in the same match, Giggs gets played at LB occasionally, etc. etc. etc.

18) The effect of form is far too severe. It makes your team go up/down by a whole star rating within a few games, so with a 3 star team you can yoyo to 2 star and weeks later 4 star.

19) The form system seems to be totally random. I can win 2-3 games in a row by 2-3 goals and the form will get worse. A striker can score six goals in a game and his form will DROP!

20) I’ve seen one injury in two seasons; Marcel promised this lack of injuries – and especially this lack of SERIOUS injuries – was fixed for FIFA 10. This is simply not true.

21) Injuries don’t last for a long enough period of time. For example, a hamstring injury should keep a player out for a month – in FIFA 10 it’s a week.

22) When playing in the snow the ball used is white, which is incredibly difficult to see, and you can’t change the ball yourself.

23) Only 5 benched substitutes are allowed in FIFA 10 below the Premier League. All English league and cup competitions now allow 7 substitutes in reality.

24) Friendly games should allow 12 substitutes on the bench (and also you should be allowed to use all 12). Currently it’s restricted to 7 on the bench (with only 3 substitutions allowed).

25) Friendly games include matches against teams in your own division. This doesn’t usually happen in reality.

26) FA Cup games are all played at night when they’re only ever played in the daytime now, including the final.

27) The shortlist was supposed to allow up to 20 players to be stored, but seems to only allow 10 players.

28) The overall rating of a player changes before/during the game. So if one of my strikers has an overall rating of 83 (including his form), when I pause the game and go to Team Management his rating can drop by 10+. What value is actually being used by the game? The pre-game rating or the paused-game rating?

29) Form should never affect physical attributes. For example, a striker who is on hot form wouldn’t see his strength increase.

30) Playing as a League 1/2 team, you have literally no fit players left after 3-5 games of the season. I don’t care how bad your fitness coach is, a group of professional players would have enough players fit to start a game after 3-5 games of the season. (You’re forced to spend £1m to upgrade your fitness coach to a realistic level.)

31) The league table that shows up at the start of each game is never correct (same as FIFA 09). It always shows you in 6th-9th position regardless of whether you’re in the top half or the bottom half of the table, and your opponents are shown in an incorrect position as well.

32) When simming games instead of playing them, two things to note. Firstly, the level of your fitness coach isn’t taken into account, so the players lose 25%-75% more fitness than they should. Secondly, when simming, you actually get to see some injuries! Plus they last for a decent period of time (e.g. metacarpal fracture, player out for four weeks)!

33) When you have a player injured, the game forces you to remove him from your team before going to the pre-game screen. You don't want to remove him from your first-choice team, you want to remove him at the pre-match team management screen, like in FIFA 09. But now you can't do that.

34) Often you are not told why a player has refused to sign for you. No explanation is given on the Negotiation History screen for these players and it seems that they are never permitted to sign for your club, for no apparent reason. You never get an explanation for the affected players.

35) Sometimes when trying to sign a player they’ll say e.g. they get a “bad vibe” from your current players. Try to sign them again next week and they’ll sign for you. Doesn’t make much sense.

36) You can list a player for sale/loan who is garbage, e.g. 42 overall when the rest of the players in your squad/division are 60+, and instantly you get offers from the top teams in your division/country for him. Sometimes even top-flight teams from other countries make an offer; they have no possible reason to loan in a player who is literally twice as bad as any other player they have. It seems that every player you ever list you MUST receive an offer for, even if they are terrible, and it’s always a good team that has no need for a poor player which shows interest.

37) As a manager with a reputation level of half-a-star, you sometimes get comments from the board that “a manager of your calibre should be performing better”.

38) You lose respect with the board when losing a game on penalties. You should be given the same increase/decrease you would be given for a draw rather than a win/loss in these circumstances.

39) The leader of the assist list seems to be the player who keeps the most clean sheets.

40) Players who are substituted show no ratings at full-time. So if my striker gets a hat-trick and I substitute him, his rating is blank after the game. (Yet substituted players can receive Man of the Match awards, so a rating must be getting calculated by the game? I presume they’re just not being displayed?)

41) Goals/assists that occur in cup competitions, e.g. the FA Cup, aren’t counted in the player’s statistics.

42) When scouted players are presented to you for purchase, they are always said to play on the opposite side to their preferred foot. For example, a left winger will always be shown to prefer their right foot. Yet if you buy the player, most of the time, they will actually prefer the appropriate foot.

43) Some players will sign for a club and then the next week you’ll get a notice on the transfers screen that they’ve signed for that same club. Again.

44) Some players will sign for a club and then the next week they’ll have signed for somebody else!

45) When searching for players their form ratings are displayed, rather than their actual ratings. This means you have no idea what the player’s actual ratings are.

46) When selling a player, the whole squad gets moved around. Player roles are also moved around.

47) When buying a player, they are given a squad number already in use, and it messes up the squad numbers for the entire team. Why can’t they be given a number that isn’t in use?

48) Stadia never fill up with people. I can play a Champions League match against a five-star team and all stands will still have large empty sections.

49) Player search parameters constantly reset when searching for a player. So if you search for e.g. a defender rated 60-70, then you want to search for a midfielder with the same rating, the parameters have been reset meaning you have to input them again.

50) Occasionally the wrong stadium picture is displayed pre-game. For example when playing at the Emirates a picture of (what looked to be) the training ground was displayed.

51) Creating a player (not a Virtual Pro) to sign in your Manager Mode career seems incredibly difficult/buggy. If you create a player and assign him to the free agents pool, the game freezes. If you assign him to a national team, he doesn’t show up as a free agent in Manager Mode. If you assign him to a national team and THEN move him to the free agents pool, you won’t be able to find him anywhere but in the “Created Players” section and you’ll see that his assigned team is referred to as something like "team1932as12309" – you can’t then find this team/player in Manager Mode to sign the player.

52) Commentary gaffes happen every 1-2 games, e.g. “5 minutes to go and they lead 1-0” when it’s 1-1, “I have to say he’s on one of the worst runs of his career” when he’s already scored in the match you’re playing, etc. etc. etc. and also, when playing as your Virtual Pro, you find the commentary refers to you scoring your 20th goal every time you score once you’ve reached that point. So for example when you score your 21st goal the commentator will say it’s your 20th, etc. (not sure if this only applies to Manager Mode or other modes as well).

NEW ONES:

53) People playing as League Two teams (e.g. Bury) are reporting that they are not entered into the English league cup competition.

54) Sometimes strange things happen with the amount of transfer funds, one person reported going from having millions to spend to being 2.5 BILLION in debt.

55) For the new season you're supposed to receive new transfer funds, new wage budget to reflect new income for that season, people are reporting they start the new season with the same money they ended the last one.

(Remember this bug list is just about manager mode).

i´m a fifa fan since the first. Fifa 94. My favorite Fifa is 07. I´m very dissapointing about Fifa 08, 09, and now 10. I play in 4-4-3 tactic and the last fifas i simple can´t play. The players played so much toghether. I´ve tryed to change the tactics but nothing works. The players do the same thing. In the 07 the players move the side line and empty spaces and i can do any kind of plays. But in the last fifas the players are joint in the midfielder and don´t move to the side lines at all. I´m sorry about my english. Thanks for all.

I am one of the people, in many, that really wants to see a new feature that i have tought would be really cool. That feature would be "The International Manager Mode". This would be the same as Manager Mode, except with an International team. You choose a country and you play frendlies, cup matches, and leading down to The World Cup. And do it over again but with youngsters coming aswell. This would be a really cool feature.

FIFA10 is such a big let down - so many bugs and the online experience is awful - one would expect EA download manager to be compatible with Windows 7 but it's not.  Also, FIFA10 is not even optimized to work with multi-core processors.  Lazy, lazy developers..but then again, perhaps their development budget has been cut.  At least give us a decent patch for the PC version - so many problems reported on various forums AND customer support but no patch - I bought FIFA10 after a 2 year absence - looks like I will have to do that again, like many others until EA Sports learns to appreciate customers who paid good money to own and enjoy the legal version of the game.  If EA sports was totally European, this type of problem would not go long unpunished.
