The practice arena lets you hone your skills by practicing freely and trying free kicks and corner kicks.
Manager Mode is as deep as ever though it comes without most of the panache that made other console versions so special. Other game modes play out identically to what we've seen in the past. The camera perspective has also been fixed slightly, but can still be cumbersome since it has the same issue of dropping the camera too low to the ground when you get close to the opponent's goal. There are also cool new coaching insights that fill you in on your opponent pre-match.

It's very similar to the Be A Pro I played last year, though this effort does feel like it has more direction to a final goal. You're now playing for a spot on your country's national team and you'll need to complete specific goals in each game in order to earn experience points and build up your attributes. Teammate+Love Be A Pro is similar to what we saw from last year's game, less a few slight changes. It's nothing more than a stripped down version of a beefier feature and is more for the casual soccer fan than anyone else. Season Mode is essentially a dumbed down version of Manager Mode where you'll control your club for a small set of games without worrying about any of the transfers and player progression that work their way into Manager Mode. The two changes that you'll see immediately reflected on the main menu are Be A Pro: Club and Country and Season Mode. It still isn't a bad game of soccer thanks to its considerable laurels, but I would've liked to see some substantive progression in more key elements. This year's version looks old, plays old, and has the feature set to match with no online play of any kind present. FIFA 10 is the latest example of a once-great series that is stuck in the mud on PlayStation 2 while shining elsewhere. As the PS2 continues to age, so too do the long-time series that – for some reason – continue to make their way onto the beleaguered system.
