This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
FIFA 10 for PlayStation 3
FIFA 10 for PlayStation 3 brings club football and internationals together in a football game featuring real teams and players from the 2009–2010 season. You build attacks with short passes, look to the wings for a cross and choose when to play a through ball. A scouting report gives you information about your opponent beforehand. You can see which players need attention and how the other team usually attacks or defends. You can start a single match straight away or choose a longer competition.
On PlayStation 3 you can play alone or locally together and against each other, each with a separate controller. The original online services are not promised as currently available. Matches, tournaments and career content on the disc remain usable without a network. Teams and squads reflect the 2009-2010 season.
On PlayStation 3 you can play alone or locally with up to eight participants. Two controllers let you play together or against each other immediately; more than two simultaneous players require one or two PlayStation 3 extra controllers and a separate DualShock 3-controller for everyone. This lets you share regular matches and tournaments without an internet connection. Any original online services are not offered as working features. Squads and club data remain those of the 2009 release.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
FIFA 10 for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of FIFA 10
Electronic Arts released FIFA 10 in October 2009 under the EA Sports label. The PlayStation 3 version appeared alongside editions for newer consoles, PC and handhelds, but retained a structure developed for Sony's older console. Its name refers to the 2009-2010 football season. Clubs, players and competitions therefore form a snapshot of that period, even when the disc is played many years later.
This edition updated the familiar PlayStation 3 football foundation with scouting information, Team Styles and several career structures. Be a Pro: Club and Country follows one player from club football towards the national team. Season provides a calendar without all the financial duties, while Manager adds squad and contract decisions. The PlayStation 3 version must be distinguished from the technical innovations EA announced for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Features from those editions are not automatically present on this disc.
Be a Pro gained the Club and Country addition, taking players from club football towards a national squad ahead of the 2010 World Cup. Season also arrived as a club calendar without Manager's financial duties. This edition offered different ways to follow a football season: through the whole team, running a club or one player's career. Squads and competitions reflect the original release period.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
PES 2010 on PlayStation 3 also offers club and international matches, a long-term team career and a career for one footballer. Konami uses Master League and Become a Legend for these, while FIFA uses Manager and Be a Pro. FIFA 10 also adds scouting reports and the separate Season calendar. PES features the official Champions League tournament as a recognizable part of its offering; FIFA divides its focus between its club season and an international player career.
FIFA Street 2 on PlayStation 3 uses famous footballers in small street teams. You perform tricks, juggle the ball and build spectacular combinations rather than completing a conventional league match with eleven players. FIFA 10 demands more attention to formations, offside and covering space across a large pitch. Both let you take the ball past a defender, but Street mainly rewards performing tricks and humiliating your opponent.
FIFA 08 introduced Be a Pro cooperation on PlayStation 3 and allowed several participants to control one footballer each within the same team. FIFA 10 develops the individual career further through Club and Country and divides long-term progress between Be a Pro, Season and Manager. Both offer official clubs and local multiplayer. The main differences are their seasonal squads and FIFA 10's additional career structures.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 on PlayStation 3 also offers club matches and a long team career. Konami uses Master League and Become a Legend, while FIFA 10 uses Manager and Be a Pro: Club and Country. PES 2009 has an official UEFA Champions League presentation; FIFA spreads its licences across many leagues and clubs. Both require combinations and positioning, but organise their careers and squad data differently.
SSX on Tour on PlayStation 3 also offers a sporting career where your performances unlock new challenges. You choose skis or a snowboard and seek speed and jumps on snowy slopes. FIFA 10 keeps you within the lines of a football pitch, and Be a Pro assesses aspects such as your position within the team. SSX moves from one descent to the next trick or race; FIFA structures its progress around matches, competitions and club squads.
