FIFA 10 introduced 360-degree dribbling to the FIFA series.
The feature gave players more precise movement than the older system, which constrained movement to eight directional angles. It was designed to make close control and changes of direction feel more responsive, especially when attackers moved around defenders.
FIFA 10 was released in 2009 for several platforms, including PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and Windows. Features varied by platform, so descriptions of the game can differ between versions.
The introduction of 360-degree dribbling is distinct from later systems such as First Touch Control and Active Touch, which changed how players received or controlled the ball.
