Fifa, can it beat last year? You bet...
Last year FIFA 08 was a total dissapointment to many EA Sports and long living football fans, including myself, but is FIFA get better this year? In a word "Absoloutely". Last year everyone knew that they blew it, but people were expecting big from Fifa 09, and boy did they get it.
One of the best qualitys of the game is surely the outstanding graphics, it's almost as if your living the action at that football ground, feeling the tense of the game. Something new added was players calling and asking for the ball, making good runs and shouting for it on through balls, or portesting that a piece of play is offside, this comes out beautifully.
One of the most addictvie modes is easily the 4 season Be A Pro mode, where you start of as your teams reserves, and progress through the seasons, from captain of Barnsley, to scoring a hat-trick against France in the England Undere 21's, its clearly one of thegreatest modes FIFA fans has ever seen.
Now i want to talk about my favourite part of the game. The online, there are some faults, but most of the time it is truly amazing, as fighting right to the end with some other nerd you dont know on XBOX Live, right down top the penalty shot-out, it's tense. But on the down side, a fair amount of players seem to quit the match half way through the game because their losing 2-0, and they just think they can't come back, It is one of the most annoying things seen in gaming history, and im sure many people agree with me, because when you finish a match, you get EXP points but if the other player quits, you get nothing which gets very frustrating, especially when your 2-1 up in the last minute of the game, and the other player quits off, is killing. But there is another online mode slightly better maybe called BAP online team play (Be A Pro) Where you and up to 10 other players can battle it out against another 10. The upside is that when someone quits it doesn't take any effect this time. But on the downside, if you get substituted of by the captain, your kicked out of the game.
But overall Fifa 09 Has been a clear success of last years game, and will be played, for many months to come.
