FIFA 09 PS3/360 Discussion Thread

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

ok played 4 more games, not impressed. The player individuality just plain sucks. The players apperances look different but they all play the exact same. The ball physics dont seem as good as 08. I am impressed with the AI however. The little animations are awesome. The response is good, but the game still seems to get cloggy, i guess that is more realistic then not. But the individuality factor seems worse then fifa08. I just dont have a good feel for this game at the momment. the most goals i scored in a game were with toronto... which says alot about player individuality

Don't take this the wrong way Gomito, this is a genuine question; I agree with you when it comes to lower-league teams (buying a player for Tranmere in manager mode was a waste of time in FIFA 08 because they were all the same player at that level, literally), but what are you basing your "the individuality factor is worse" comment on? What is it that makes you feel that way, do you have any examples (apart from the Toronto thing, which to me, just means that you perform best with their style of play)?

When I pass the ball to Drogba he can skip past players, but he will go down easily if he's tackled. If I have the ball with him and then pass to another midfielder, i.e. Lampard, you can feel the speed difference and the "clumsiness" difference straight away. I was going to say before that I could feel the difference between players a lot better in this demo!

Oh man! Just unbelievable. I'll tell you what I'm most impressed with... The goals.

I just managed to sneak past a Real Madrid defender with Drogba, leaving a 30 yard sprint to goal (they were pushing up to try and get a winner in the dying minutes). I was coming in from a slight angle, but the defenders were catching up, so I just hit a shot as hard as I could. It went like a bullet.

It was one of those moments where your eyes see something your brain doesn't quite comprehend; in FIFA 08, every shot from an angle was saved by the goalkeeper, there was only a certain area you could shoot from and score a goal. But here, the ball was hit so hard, the keeper (even though he positioned himself as well as he could on the far post) couldn't get over to it in time. The net bulged, and I literally leapt off the chair and screamed into the wall. It reminded me of scoring in the Master League against Manchester United on six-star difficulty - i.e. almost impossible. The feeling is just out of this world, it's such a rewarding game to play. I'm in love with this game.

What they have done, with the goalkeepers especially, is amazing. They're 500% more realistic now. And what pleases me the most... The thing that turned me off FIFA 08 completely in the end, the thing that made me sell it... Hasn't happened to me so far.

Every goal has been a good, realistic goal. No glitches, no horrendous goalkeeper mistakes. And every goal has been different.

Has anybody got a time machine I can borrow?

Why you can't you just come out and say if you like the game or not and stop pussy-footing around! :DD

Had to call xbox live and get my account upgraded to an adult account (don't know why i was originally listed as under 18). Thanks anyways, and btw you are in for a real treat.


The computer controlled toronto fc winning by one goal in the 85th minute knocked it around, took it to my corner flag and waited for me to challenge. wow. infuriating for me, but great football.
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Fucking hell, what a bunch of knobs! Way to make yourselves look stupid, Sony! :brick:

At least he's taken off the bit about expecting it on Friday, still hope for tonight then.

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

There's the possibility the US Store will get it tonight, but I doubt it.

Well done, Sony. Just like last year.

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Didn't exactly the same thing happen with the FIFA08 or Euro08 demo? What a bunch of cocks.
