The first title in the series was introduced in 1993. They are the first games granted an official license by FIFA, the governing body of association football. The use of real leagues, clubs, and player names and likenesses brings greater realism to the games and is one of the reasons each release is highly popular.

Each year the next addition to the series carries features that are improvements or modifications.

Ultimate Team and Manager Mode

The Ultimate Team mode of 10 is an improvement on what was first introduced in 09. This is available only for use with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Like the 09 version, a custom team can be built based on the collection of various types of cards. However, the number of players and leagues available has substantially increased. In the newer version, 29 leagues and over 7,500 players are in play. This improves the team building options. Gamers who could not build the teams they wanted due to the unavailability of players, now have more flexibility. Users will have more opportunity with this new improvement to build playing chemistry. In each formation the variable links allow for greater flexibility in building chemistry. Also, instead of being able to create just one team, now users can develop fifteen. FIFA tournaments also are bigger factors in this version.

Users will find Manager Mode is more challenging than before. The financial aspects are closer to reality. Board approval is required for managers, which in some cases adds more risk to the game. Scouting has also become more challenging. This is the last version of Manager Mode in the FIFA series. In FIFA 11, Career Mode has replaced the Manager Mode. In Career Mode, users follow a footballers career through its evolution from player to manager.

The Virtual Pro

The new Virtual Pro feature of FIFA 10 gives gamers the chance to put themselves in the game. They can upload a picture on the EA website then save it for download it in FIFA 10. This created Pro can be added him to any team. The players attribute can be upgraded with over 200 accomplishments by playing any of the offline modes through four Be a Pro seasons. This improved player can compete in the Pro Club Championship. The Virtual pro feature does not replace the Be a Pro mode. Virtual Pro just allows you to create one Pro and use him in every game mode. In earlier games users could create a player for online club games or Be a Pro, but could not move him to different modes. Now, you can. The faces can be changed as desired and users may add attributes to add more realism to the player. Generally, this version does change the established template of the FIFA series. But, there is greater authenticity. It continues the established tradition of improving on each prior title, to set a new standard for simulating the game.
