There are smaller details I really appreciated too. Using licensed players is nothing new, but the diverse and realistic stadiums make the game seem more fleshed out. The new commentary isn't anything to brag about, but the soundtrack is pretty catchy and has a definitive international flavor with influences from all over the world. I also really liked that when your players slide tackle, you'll see tracks in the dirt. It's a small detail, but it adds realism to the game.

While some minor tweaks in the original formula may have been misguided, the staggering amount of new content and improvements makes Real Soccer 2010's $7 price tag a steal. Arguably one of the best iPhone games released this year, and certainly the best sports game, Real Soccer 2010 should be on every fan's wishlist.
