Bone-idle writes "I have to admit that after playing previous instalments of FIFA I was NOT a big lover of the franchise. I felt that the game-play was more "Fantasy Football" rather than premier league, scoring 35 yard free kicks on demand and running past 5 or 6 players at ease is not my idea of football....well not on a console at least. While this kind of play has gradually been eroded by E.A from the titles over the years due to the more rewarding and simulative play of PES, when I got my hands on this game I was very pleasantly surprised I must admit."
FIFA '10 was released to the public last September to huge praises from both critics and fans. It has a score of 90 on Metacritic.com, and current sits as the 26th best rated game for the 360, and the highest rated sports game on the 360. The closest sports game to FIFA '10 on that list is NHL '10, which sits in 46th place (although it won sports game of the year last year for many publications, but don't get me started on that). But my reasons for FIFA '10 being the best sports game ever is not about ratings or rankings. It is about how the game is the best simulation of any sport, ever.

"Its coming home, its coming home, its coming. Footballs coming home!". There ends my in-depth knowledge of the beautiful game. Sure I've played me some school yard footie and I've taken a stab at the odd football game but truly, honestly – football bores me. Paying £40 for a nylon shirt with the name of a Korean firm on the front just strikes me as a little crazy. What does excite me? The World Cup. Every four years comes my excuse to act like "a real man" and embrace the nation's favourite pastime (excluding binge drinking of course!).
