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.
Through the new manager mode option, a player can manage a team of choice and lead it in league title battles. Team management has been made a lot easier through this mode by focusing on improving on the challenges encountered in the earlier versions. Versions hosted on playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 platforms have experienced the highest modifications.
Players can control the operations of a participating club at the managerial level just like in real situation. The player determines transfers and sign-ups of players, can participate in drawing league tables and can access the details of external leagues. The player has an option of engaging an assistant team manager to handle the internal activities of the club such as drawing line-ups for different matches both in the league and in friendly matches designed to strengthen the team in anticipation of league title matches. A modification from the past series has seen results for simulated matches judged on the basis of strength a team displays. This creates a more realistic battle for titles with stronger teams virtually ranking higher on the basis of their players. 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 matters of the clubs are left on the hands of a team sponsor and the club's board of directors. The two bodies issue the overall budget for player wages, transfers and for club improvement. The player controls the board's financial releases through a 'Board Difficulty' setting. The transfer process shows more authenticity. Factors such as money, acceptance of an offer and the number of players in a club holding a particular position run the transfer process. Managers place bids for players and have a choice on which player to sign up.
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.
The player can create a footballer with the virtual pro feature. Another feature is the game face which allows the player to create a game face character who can play in Fifa club's mode. Fifa 10 league features fifty stadiums in Europe with weather conditions ranging from night and day versions, rainy, snowy and cloudy conditions. There is a special option in the main menu that allows the player to change the name of the stadiums to match their club's home with adjustments to meet the actual stadium capacity.
