Nice example of a franchise renewal. This is fine example of EA determination to get more substantial results in sports games EA FIFA 09 raise the bar of expectation and went to a more adaptative and smoother game play in latest franchise years. Despite of some points that are still positive in PES franchise this EA FIFA 09 is a great option for this holidays whether if you like or not EA. EA is getting to the point. Is not 100% yet in terms of fan-based comment since I've played all the versions of both games PES since PS 1 (previously called winning eleven) and all FIFA versions. This time they got it right. I'm still fan of PES but this version made me think twice. Happy holidays.

FIFA 09 aims to make a departure from the mishaps of last year's edition and EA Sports is taking advantage of every detail as possible to perfect this game. In fact, EA Sports took notes and feedbacks from fans, football professionals and critics alike, to educate themselves on various aspects of the actual sport that they can improve on or incorporate into FIFA 2009. An excellent new feature in FIFA 09 called “custom tactics” was among the notable results gathered through the feedback that is now a part of FIFA Soccer 2009. This customized feature enables you to adjust sliders that will set the tempo or your players' aggressiveness in going for the ball. You can make specific settings according to how you want your team to execute their plays, instead of being constricted to the available set plays in FIFA 2009 as opposed to the previous games. This feature in FIFA Soccer 09 is definitely something for soccer enthusiasts who like devising plays and the virtual soccer world of the game offers you a venue to put them to good use. Aside from this particular gameplay enhancement for FIFA 09, there are other customizable controls and angles of the camera that serve to enhance the overall football experience. Speaking of the camera, you can get a full view of the game according to your specific preference in FIFA Soccer 2009. You can vary the camera attributes, height, and its position to offer the best on-court view of the action in FIFA 2009. In terms of overall gameplay in FIFA 09, there was not much major additions except for a few ones we'll be discussing later on. However, several minor improvements or tweaks have been incorporated to make a more vital overall game. Noticeably, FIFA Soccer 2009 now possess a balanced approach in terms of speed and the level of physicality in this game. FIFA 09 emphasizes three crucial elements not only in this virtual soccer field but in a real soccer game as well: defense, buildup, and chance creation. The physical play in FIFA 2009 offers a wider range of motion. It helps that the player movement has been greatly enhanced so that the players are quicker and more responsive as to the on-court action. If you notice the players jostle for position in FIFA Soccer 09, their movements are indeed a lot sharper as compared to previous installments of the game. According to developers of FIFA 09, this was all in part of the effort to create a “sense of professional urgency”. Notice how each players motion to receive the ball? The intensity has stepped up a few notches in terms of on-court battle for FIFA 2009. When it comes to defense, the collision system in FIFA Soccer 2009 is also greatly improved. As there is now more fluidity in the action of players, there is also more substantial impact when it comes to players' weight, strength, and momentum in FIFA 09. For instance, when players jump simultaneously for the ball and they hit each other, you can certainly feel the impact evident on each other in strong competition, placing true meaning to the sport. The ball is another crucial aspect in a game like FIFA Soccer 09. A new physics has been applied into it to redefine how the ball react when hit by physical bodies in the game, whether the players themselves or the goal posts. When you try to play the actual game, you will find the results of FIFA 2009's new engine to be quite fascinating but definitely realistic. IF YOU WANT THE BEST SOCCER/FOOTBALL GAME EVER MADE, BUY THIS NOW!!!Read full review
FIFA Soccer 09 I believe is definitely a step up from the previous 08 version. The movement of the players is much more realistic and I like the "be a pro season" option where you can create your own character and build him up to be called up to the first team. There is also a chance for you to play for your country as well all the while having to perform well to maintain your status at both club and country level. All in all I think it's a great game and definitely a step up from Fifa 08.
This is the best game in the FIFA series by far. The game has every team imaginable, on an HD TV it plays at 1080p and looks and sounds great. Online can be laggy at times but once you connect to the web with the game, it updates your rosters within seconds and has the most recent soccer headlines available. I was afraid at how playing with 4 players would turn out but it it provides some great entertainment with 2v2 games amongst your friends. The dribbling system is almost perfect and allows for some pretty nifty footwork. The passing which bothered me in past FIFA games has been done exceptionally with through balls and one touch passes being a thing of ease. Great game to play with friends, online, or even to start a franchise with!
As a FIFA soccer fanatic, the FIFA Soccer 09 will not disappoint those that enjoy the sport. Featuring a massive number of improvements, FIFA Soccer 09 now has improved responsiveness for faster passing and shooting, a jostle system that takes into account the strength of players when dashing for a ball, new goalkeeper technology for better positioning, improved reflexes and faster recovery after saving, etc. I appreciate these drastic changes because they have enhanced the reality of the game which creates more entertainment for me as well as the rest of the FIFA soccer fans around the world. You will not be bored from this game as you will have the varied options of selecting among 500 teams and 30 leagues. Not only do you get to play in the local stage but also are able to dwell into the international stage by playing as one of 41 countries represented in the game. So just play and enjoy the game.Read full review
