Meet The New FIFA, same as the old FIFA...
FIFA 09 is the fifth FIFA soccer game on the psp not counting the UEFA and World Cup games. The game does the job, and by that I mean being a soccer game on the psp. Which is something it could and should do better. It has all the major soccer leagues such as La Liga from Spain and the Barclays from England. Rosters are updated as well. But it has gotten to the point where the smallest things are being overlooked. The player models themselves are the same as four to five years ago. For example, Victor Valdes, the goal keeper for FC Barcelona, appears with a full head of hair even though he has been bald for years now. In the roster menus, some players don't have pictures and those who do have the same ones from years ago. Considering how games are looking on the system nowadays, the graphics could also be better. The pacing does work though. And the one and only addition this year works well. I'm referring to the addition of the Be A Pro mode. The soundtrack is great featuring acts such as MGMT and PLastilina Mosh. The game is enjoyable but the time has arrived for an overhaul.
