I've got to say, I was on the fence until FIFA 09. Played that and the PES counterpart and FIFA just felt...right. IMO, FIFA was the better game last year.
I've played the FIFA 10 demo, and my initial thoughts are;
Physics - The physics of both players and ball is good. I used to get annoyed on earlier games when two players would run into each other at full pelt they'd bump chests, and only my player would go down. Very different now. You can't just keep your finger on the sprint button and press X for pressure as you'll give away a free kick. Ball physics are good, specifically where the ball goes if it hits an obstacle.
Counter Attacking - This is a good and bad point. Good in that when your opposition is pushing forward, counter attack can tear them to shreds, as they leave one man back. Bad in that I can just see every goal coming this way. I'll have to do some tweaking of my tactics to ensure I don't leave too much space. Also, once again, play against any team with pace, and they'll kill you on the counter attack. You won't catch them, so might as well give up running after them.
Goalkeepers - No longer super human or super retarded. "smart AI"
Crossing - Biggest improvement for me. I can drop a cross onto forward's head with ease, rather than the cross dropping into the opposite channel.
Vivid colours - While it might seem like a plus, the colours being so vivid makes it look more cartoon-y...like we'd gone back to FIFA 2003/4/5
I haven't yet played the PES 2010 demo, so can't really rate one above the other.
