Real Soccer 2010 is a major improvement over the previous version and will surely please newcomers and die-hard soccer fans alike. In the previous version, you were strictly limited in playing in one league, whereas Real Soccer 2010, not only gives you 8 leagues to choose from, but also 245 teams represented by real life players. Gameloft made sure that he lineups are portrayed as close to the real thing as possible. There are 14 playing fields to choose from and with the addition of a voice commentary, this is as real as you’re going to get.

In Real Soccer 2010, you can play as your favorite player or team and guide them to winning a specific cup. You can also manage a team throughout its entire season while doing trades. An added “Enter the Legend” mode, allows you to play as a single player for the entire season, giving you total control over that particular player’s growth.
