FIFA 09 Review

It's great times for football fans, one reason is because the new english football season has started and the other because we are treated to the latest and perhaps greatest FIFA game that EA has churned out. Now I personally have been playing Pro Evo for the past two years, so don't expect me to be a FIFA know it all.

EA has brought the same great gameplay from it's Euro 2008 title, which in a way is kind of disappointing and annoying because they couldn't be bothered to even tweak it. But so what. EA have raised their game in the yearly battle against Konami in the fight to be the best football game developer out there.

This game engine makes the players more responsive on and off the ball, but if your not controlling a player like Messi or Ronaldo (Speed Demons!) then you won't be leaving the defenders on their back sides. So the speed of the game is kind of slow but that suits FIFA 09 to a tee, because it is more of a pass and move game than a beat defenders with one man tactic.

The graphics have never been a problem for the FIFA series, EA has always presented that great football spirit from the supporters to the stadiums. The player models are realistic as ever, from Wayne Rooney to Ronaldhino, you will recognise every player you see. Overall the visuals are top notch. Another ascept of the FIFA series that never fails is the audio, the solid commentary, the well suited soundtrack and the on and off ball effects make it feel well presented.

FIFA 09 has plenty of modes and opitions to play and fiddle around with, the online 10 vs 10 mode, Manager mode, Be a Pro mode, Adidas Live Season and the updated team tactics system. All of this will take up a lot of your playing time.

In conclusion, EA have done their greatest FIFA ever. Pro Evo will have to be an excellent game to beat this.
Over to you, Mister Konami.

Where can I start with this game? There are so many amazing things on there. Firstly the Adidas Live League (I think that what it is called) well you get 1 season trial and it is amazing it updates player's attributes according to their most recent match in real life. Then you have the ten on ten match which is just the best thing to play, especially if 10 of your mates have the game :).The manager modes are also very good because of the interaction with the media, where you are asked questions ...

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 aski...
