This is by far the best soccer game EA sports has ever released. The graphics are top notch, and they have finally nailed the gameplay that had some nagging issues in FIFA 08. For starters, they sped up the game considerably. This gives players much more control over their player and what they can do with the ball. You rarely get caught in frustrating situations where you want to pass but the player wont respond quick enough, something that was prevelant in FIFA 08. They also have included a fun new mode that was first seen back in fifa. Its called Captain your Country. Its basically Be a Pro from fifa, which is a lot like maddens superstar mode. You play through the entire EURO 2008 tournament. Thats where the options end, however. The only play options are quick play, be a pro, captain your country, and the tournament. No franchise, no special options or mini games. This is a small flaw though, as i would much rather have the gameplayRead full review
