Editorial Review:

Manufacturer's Description:
Step onto the pitch and play professional football your way in FIFA 09. Experience the most authentic football simulation EA Sports has delivered as you live the fantasy of playing as a professional player and customise the game to suit your style and ability.

Powered by the third generation of the EA Sports football engine, FIFA 09 features more than 250 core gameplay additions and enhancements that deliver the most responsive, intelligent and realistic action ever for the series. Enjoy turning defenders with more controlled dribbling and ball control, snapping off precision shots with improved first-time shooting mechanics and firing beautifully timed passes with greater accuracy, placing the ball exactly where you want it.

With new player momentum physics the speed and weight of the player determines everything from the distance of a slide tackle and the power of a header to the severity of player collisions and the height of a player's jump. Plus, players now behave according to their physical attributes with larger, stronger players dominating collisions, battles for control of the ball, and position in challenges for two player headers.






Rating: - The truth about FIFA
I have been alternating between PES and Fifa since PES was ISS back in the late 90's. There has been a lot of difference and similarities in these games over the years, that many have produced a schematic view that PES was better gameplay and FIFA had the nice graphics and official statistics.

To be honest the last few years have seen quite the turnaround. Since I obtained a 360 I was RIDICULOUSLY addicted to Pro 6 in which the online experience and gameplay were complimented by nice ... Read More

FIFA 09, this is slightly better than all the ones previous, how many have there been now? I remember the first one, FIFA '66 when the ball 'did' cross the line, and it WAS all over, and remember; the computer is always right! there was a pic of George Best in a Sombrero on the box art if I recall, or was that FIFA '68?.

Well, this delivers as per usual, but lacks some of the realism I expect from my Premiership football, why are there no Footballers swearing at linesmen? and no lifting ... Read More

Rating: - 09 saved fifa franchise
after 07 i thought about going to pro evo, and after 08 i came so close, but since i have bought fifa since the original fifa international football, i gave it one last chance. the inter play is excelent, holding up the ball is extremely well done. only a few glitches, that are put there onpurpose so you get more goals but some times are annoying. but worth a buy as it is different than 08/07 that were poor.

Rating: - How can it be criticised?
I really don't agree with all the critism towards this game. Their have been vast improvements not to mention the inredible amount of realistic stadiums and for a lower league supporter (Urrrrrrz) i was delighted with the graphic levels of the lower teams. All that about "their is a set way to score" is rubbish. It will only be that way if you play that way also to say the celebrations are poor is stupid their are loads of realistic celebrations. Overall i think is a great game.
