Football Manager 2010 (abbreviated to Football Manager 10 or FM10) is a football manager simulation video game. It was released on PC, Mac and PlayStation Portable on 30 October 2009. It is also available for digital download on Steam. The game demo was released on 14 October 2009

New features

The game's developers have expanded on the 3D match engine first introduced in Football Manager 2009, with more animations, stadia, and even pitch degradation. There will be the ability to "shout" from the touchline to change tactics. The feedback from assistant managers and backroom staff has also seen considerable improvement.
The database editor has also received an upgrade, the stand-out feature of which is the option to add new divisions to existing leagues or to add entirely new leagues to a game database. Users can then, for example, make the English league system fully playable right down to its lowest tier, making it the first football management game capable of doing so, or they could make a league for a nation whose league is not normally playable, or even make their own entirely new league, such as a "super league".
It has been made clear by the developers that some features will be kept secret and discovered only when playing the demo and full game, as has been the case for the last few releases of the series.

Demo

The demo was released in two "flavours": "Vanilla", which was a stripped down version with a limited number of players; and "Strawberry", which was a full-fledged game with most of the features that would be on the final game. Both versions of the demo were limited to half-a-season of gameplay. The demo was released on 14 October 2009.
