I ran into some problems - still unsolved by the way - with the PC I use to capture the videos so I couldn't be any faster to put this video of the demo of Fifa 10 online. The first thing that you probably noticed when launching the demo is how smooth all the animations are. There have been some nice additions in that area since last year and they really make the game more realistic. Don't blame me for not playing very well though, I haven't really had time to master the game just yet. I will add a second video later this morning.
Update: Second video is now up with some Messi action.

Probably going to give it to a cousin and get a slim anyway.
I live in Canada so I still have a week to wait, demo get's released on the 17th here.
:(
Downloading the HD video now! :D
Finally graphically, sure it isn't a huge step from 09 but you can't really expect them to constantly make huge leaps and bounds with each annual release but fifa 10 is still a very pretty game with some excellent animation. I'll defo be picking this up. Also if you do try it, play more than one match, the altered shooting and the new dribbling takes a little while to enjoy and get used to.
The recycled menu system ripped straight from O9 struck me as lazy. The graphics on a whole (after playing them side by side) actually look slightly worse than 09 due to them simply adding more blur to the overall look of 10. The engine still carrys the same limitations - you'll still notice the same drop in frames from when it moves from the practice pitch to the stadium. As well as during some of the replays.
Theres definatly not a new games worth of difference here in my eyes. I see no reason why it couldnt of been a £12 dlc expansion rather than a £50 retail game - fair and true.
I look forward to seeing what PES offers this year.. which also has 360 control i believe now?
As for the stadium, I thought there was only one as it seems it's the only one I got when playing.
All the 09 problems have disappeared, good work from the developer team
The 360° dribble add a lot of deepness to the gameplay.
PES have to be really wonderful, or this year I'll again take FIFA

- Fair enough, you don't think it warrants a full-price purchase - although who the heck plays £50 for a game? I'm only paying £30-35 for it. But honestly, what did you expect? The flaws from 09 have been ironed out, with some nice innovations thrown in for the full-game - not to mention all the great, refined game modes. I'm not really sure what you were expecting, because it was quite clear from the off that FIFA 10 would be all about refinement.
- The graphics look worse than 09? Oh, come on. Now you're just embarassing yourself. That "blur" you're referring to is called depth of field, and is visible on the crowd, background and players who aren't in the camera's focus. It's not hard to figure out.
- I'm not saying you should buy FIFA 10, and I'm not asking you to change your opinion. Heck, I still acknowledge that FIFA 10 has its own share of problems - there's way too much curl on the ball now as opposed to it floating, while I've encountered numerous glitches/bugs (although these should be ironed out by release). Also, I'm actually quite excited for PES 2010 after seeing a 'Press Preview' code video of the game, and it's looking very promising - although I'll need to play the demo to make up my mind. But the fact that you can't notice the difference between FIFA 09 and FIFA 10 is just... well, it's just ignorance.
Oh, and PES 2010 does have 360 dribbling as well.
I played the demo for 8 hours non stop yesterday without even realizing it. I'm still getting to grips with the new controls, but the difference in this to 09 is night and day. I'm seeing new things each and everytime I play it, and yesterday I cracked a shot from outside the area, and one of my players ran and ducked out of the way of it as it sailed into the top corner. That blew me away. Few minor quibbles with it at the moment, but nothing that I'm sure can't and won't be ironed out before it's release. In fact my main gripe with the demo is that games are far, far too short to get into. Doesn't matter what PES does this year. Nothing is touching this masterpiece.
I've already said in the post you replied to that i've gone back to 09. And after playing them side by side i think 09 looks the sharper. You dont get depth of field from looking straight down on the players during gameplay, or on close up shots of their faces - which is what i'm refering to when i say theres more blur to the overall look.. not simply the blur of the static pixil crowd in the background. And i said this to you yesterday.. so why you're going on about depth of field i dont know.
My opinion on it i believe is fair. I've noted the differences and the simularities in the post you replied to. My opinions not born out of ignorance because i've actually played the demo, and i own 09. And theres not enough there to warrent ME to purchase a game that I see very little difference in, and firmly believe they could of easily released as dlc for less than half the price.
Which is why, as you know, i'd like to see EA adopt what Activision has with COD and have two teams spending development cycles of 2yrs, offering us our annual fifa's. Then maybe I personally will see more improvements to the game that actually make the asking price worth the purchase.
ps. became a member just now to post finally something, love this forum!
The front-end is also much faster now (I hated the sluggish menus in 09) and a match loads almost immediately. Big thumbs up to EA for basically addressing everything that was wrong about 09 gameplay-wise.
That said: I couldn't imagine any official event in which Bayern would play Juventus at Wembley at broad daylight. I hope they fixed that too, that CL matches take place during the day, and I hope we get a few more weather effects (rain, snow) in Master League as well this time.
It's good that they've addressed Manager Mode really, because it's a mode that I personally play a lot.

I didn't score, but the dribbling, the cross, the shot, the keeper reflexes and the defensive recovery are all way beyond what was possible in 09. That's against the AI on world class. And yes, gone are the helium shots, as demonstrated here:

It's odd they locked it once in the game though. Thanks for the info, I really did not realize.
