neither. wait for X2 Soccer 2010 its coming out soon it should be out within this week actually http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=1033456#post1033456
From the choice given, I'd go for FIFA 2010. After playing with it for two days now, it's quite like how FIFA on the iPod touch should be. Smooth plays, nice graphics and a schweet UI. Overall, the game is just well worth it. In X2 you can't control your shots and the players don't look very realistic. However, if you were to wait for X2 Footy 2010, then wait. That will have online play, so that's a huge +.
I always put X2 Soccer above Fifa. The game seems more realistic and the characters seem free in their environment. Definitely wait for X2 Soccer 2010.
Being free in their environment is very unrealistic. In real football matches, you're never free, the other team always closes you down and guides you in your own path, which is what happens in FIFA World Cup. Definitely get FIFA World Cup if you need a footy game right now, or wait till next week.
So FIFA World Cup or X2 2010? By the sounds of it, and after chatting with the developer, I would root for X2 at the moment. The features sound really promising, so we'll just have to wait till next week.
I didn't mean in that way. In Fifa, when you turn the arrow points in every half quater segments. The character is always encircles by an obtuse orange circle. X2 Soccer has a more unnoticeable arrow and the arrow accurately reflects which way you have the joystick facing. The players in X2 Soccer look more realistic because they aren't surrounded by such a bold orange circle. Sorry for hankering over one tiny detail but I think details matter in a game. Of course, I have not actually bought Fifa, and it is only from the trailer that I got this info.
Ah I see. Yeah, FIFA sucks in that area, but overall it's WAY better than X2 2009. Better animations, and the players look much more realistic. Anyway, OP, wait till next week.
