Although I've barely played the game, FIFA 2010 was great in that rather than going straight to the menu, you would just be in a training session as soon as you started the game, then from there you could either move your player around, try tricks or shots at goal, or alternatively you could open up the menu to do something else. I like all kinds of games where they are innovative with removing menus (or at least the main menus) by making you move around a character to different destinations/items/etc. instead.
