The Virtual Pro mode, where you embody your own player from youth ranks to the top, turns a season into a long-term project you can't put down. Alongside it, the manager career, transfers and weekly online challenges multiply the reasons to fire it up again. This density of modes, far more than a single campaign, is why people kept coming back for months.
The Japanese edition of FIFA 10 under the World Class Soccer name, a quiet release in a market lukewarm to football. Its small local run makes it less common than the Western versions, the only draw for fans of Japanese pressings. The game stays an annual sports title without underlying value, its interest limited to this regional singularity of an otherwise unremarkable title.
Better with friends
Accessible, spectacular soccer cut out for four-player evenings where you form mixed teams for matches as tense as they are convivial. The competition is savored in one-twos, long-range strikes and cheeky celebrations after a last-minute goal. Easy to fire up for a quick match, it turns every game into a pride duel and a generator of friendly rivalries.
Is FIFA 10 - World Class Soccer still worth playing in 2026?
FIFA 10 remains a milestone of the series, for it introduces 360-degree dribbling that truly revolutionised ball control. This freedom of movement, unheard-of at the time, offered incomparable feel on the ball and marked a decisive turning point in the evolution of virtual football. Today its successors have refined this base and the title has logically aged, its online servers having also closed. But it keeps a real historical interest, and the pleasure of a local match endures. For anyone wanting to understand a major advance of the genre, it stays eloquent.
