We take a look at what we know about EA's upcoming FIFA 10 to see how it stacks up against Gameloft's Real Football 2010
Published on Sep 29, 2009
We’ve been waiting for EA’s FIFA 10 to hit the App Store’s virtual shelves for a while now, so we can see exactly how it fares up against Gameloft’s Real Football 2010. It hasn’t been released yet, but EA has just released some new game details that let us make some predictions about how the fight will end.
Below, you can see exactly how the feature lists stack up – and it’s not as much of a one-sided battle as it may at first seem. Both games are licensed, with real player and team names, but FIFA 10 offers a lot more of those names.
Of course, these are most likely going to be names from way down the league tables, but for those looking to play as some of the world teams in the country, rather than the best, FIFA 10 definitely has the advantage.
Real Football 2010 claws back some important ground on the multiplayer front though. Unlike its EA rival, Real football 2010 offers true online multiplayer, where you don’t have to be on the same Wi-Fi connection as the person you’re playing against.
It’s also a Bluetooth multiplayer option for when you’re nearby a friend with FIFA 10 but not able to get a connection. Here’s the run-down of features
