On defense, new concepts like position priority enable defenders to multitask so dangerous spaces left open by teammates out of position are covered. Plus, slide tackle targeting, press marking, & better urgency clearance logic provide new options that make defending a tactical skill in FIFA 10. Three new innovations change the player control experience in FIFA 10 on PS3. The first-ever true 360° dribbling system gives players finer control of the ball, enabling them to find spaces between defenders that previously were not possible. Using an all-new animation technology, skilled dribblers now have the ability to face the defender & use highly responsive lateral dribbling to skip past him. An innovative concept called Freedom in Physical Play enables players to perform wider dribble touches & new collision sharing creates a varied, less predictable, & extended fight for possession between the dribbler & a defender. A deeper iteration of the ever-popular Manager Mode features more than 50 major improvements, including new match realism, ultra-realistic player transfers based on multiple decision points, & true-to-life player growth curves. New game modes, & innovations to popular features like Be A Pro, will be revealed in the upcoming months. Features of FIFA 2010 include: 360° Dribbling
