Elanjo will vouch for this....
Slowing the game down improves it no end. With this in mind i decided to slow the passing down aswell to reduce the ping pong passing.
Anyway it works very well.
I've uploaded the option file to megaupload if you fancy playing with it.
Basically it's Fifa10 with sprint speed/acceleration reduced by 20 points and short passing attribute reduced by 25-30. Slows the game down a lot. One other thing to do is go to custom tactics and reduce teams aggression and pressure as most are set at 70.
It sounds a bit drastic but it really improves the game imo. Here's the download link for the option file. Every team in the PL has lowered running speed, and City & Rags have lowered running speed + lowered short passing speed.

Instructions
1. Load fifa 10 on your ps3 and create and save a new squad file. You can use your main one too but you will be overwriting it so it's better to create a new one.
2. Quit the game to go back to the ps3 dashboard. Go up to "Saved Data Utility" and find the squad file you just created. Make sure you have your usb drive plugged in and hit triangle, select "Copy", and select your usb drive as the destination.
3. After it copies, remove your usb drive and then hit triangle, select "Delete" to remove the squad file from the ps3.
4. Plug the usb drive into your computer and open it up. Go to the PS3 folder and then the SAVEDATA folder under that and you should see a folder starting with "BL". If you have a euro game it will be something like BLES003140102 or if you have a US game it will be something like BLUS301760100. If you don't have this you didn't copy it right.
Open that folder and you should find 5 files inside named ICON0.PNG, PARAM.PFD, PARAM.SFO, PIC1.PNG, and SYS-DATA. If you downloaded the file davesaul posted you should also have his BL folder with the same 5 files. Take the SYS-DATA file ONLY from his folder and overwrite your own SYS-DATA file. Don't do anything with any of the other files!
5. Plug the usb drive back into the PS3 and go back to "Saved Data Utility" and select the USB Device. Find the squad file and hit triangle then copy to copy it back to the PS3. If you didn't already delete the PS3 copy back in step 2 it might prompt you to overwrite.
Now you should be able to start up the game, go to load Squads, and you should see the "squads edited" file from davesaul. Load it, go to edit player, then go to Premier League/Man City. If Gareth Barry has a passing rating of around 60, with a sprint speed of around 55 then it worked. It's obvious if its worked - many teams e.g. Liverpool will have less stars - and you can tell by the player speed in-game!!
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR EXISTING OPTION FILE SO YOU CAN REVERT BACK TO IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS ONE
