The Virtual Pro mode, growing a homemade recruit season after season, gives this North American release the same endurance as its European counterparts: you bond with a player, follow his career, run drill after drill. Manager management and online matches stretch the adventure further. A depth of modes that justifies the long evenings spent on it.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
FIFA Soccer 10, the North American name of the 2010 vintage of EA's football, with content identical to the European FIFA 10. Printed in volume on the US market, it stays without value and without scarcity. Its only distinctive aspect is this America-specific regional title, a detail for those lining up naming variants, the game itself holding no collector value.
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 Soccer 10 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.
