FIFA 10 Hints and Glitches (PS2)

FIFA 10 is a video game that is part of the long-running series from EA Sports and launches yearly with a number of updates to the roster and to various mechanics.

The game offers the player 30 leagues with no less than 500 teams, a number of 41 national teams, 50 stadiums and different weather conditions destined to make matches closer to real life.

The new game introduces pre-season matches that allow a manager to test the abilities of his players and has an all-new transfer system which should yield closer to real life results, with the big named players only coming to major teams.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Man Marking

Use the Man Mark option to slow down a dominant opposing player and improve your chances of winning. Man Marking assigns a specific defender to shadow an opponent and helps to restrict their influence on the game's outcome.

Player task: Never have offside flag on your name

If you are the designated corner kick taker (without pressing Square), you will always be in an offside position the moment you release the ball. Become a captain and never take the corner kick to avoid being caught out. Also, if you are clean through with only the keeper to beat, score the goal or miss it badly. If the keeper takes you out or caught it from your shot, you are certain to be in an offside position.

GLITCHES

Frozen game

In Be A Pro mode, if you have a maxed out player at level 10, always be in an offside position at least once by taking a corner kick. If you have completed the task, there is apparently no more player task available. From the next match onwards, once you have selected the controller for the next match, the game will freeze. Turn off autosave in case the task is completed.

Here's a look at FIFA 10 in action:
