Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Step onto the pitch and play professional football your way in EA Sports FIFA 09.

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: - Enjoyable to play!
As always,Fifa 09 is very enjoyable.I was also pleased to see that EA SPORTS waited for the end of the Summer Transfer Window.The reason why I have marked this game down is because there are so many skills and features that they include on PS3 and Xbox 360.The first thing is you can't have control over the players goal celebration.I would really enjoy controlling my players delight.The second thing is that there are quite a few new skills that you can do for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and I would love ...

Rating: - Super game for all FIFA lovers
I have FIFA 09 on PS2 and i think it's much better than any of the others. The graphics are better, and it's much more reallistic (especially the results of tackles). It's a shame the game is only spoiled by some bad commentary, but it's a must have. For any FIFA lover or if you are new to the game, go out and buy it. You don't need to spend hundreds of pounds on PS3's when you can thoroughly enjoy FIFA 09 on the good old PS2!

Rating: - Can't really tell the difference
i really was expecting a better game this time around, the prvious fifa was brilliant but was easy to get bored with after a few hours a week. so i hoped this game would offer something a bit different but its just like 08. i have also played on the xbox 360 version and found that there is a big difference between the 08 and 09 versions. so after playing this game 5 times i sold it, very very dissapointing fifa!

Rating: - EA you promised so much......
Now firstly im not getting into the arguments about whether this is better than Pro Evo or not. I have only bought one previous football game and that is Pro Evo 4 which was a great game and kept me playing again and again. This however wont and ill explain why....

While Fifa 09 has a lot to be proud of, proper kits, up to date players and stadiums etc the main problem I felt was that it promised much but actually when you got down to the bare bones of the game, it delivers little. ... Read More

Rating: - Utter garbage
After seeing last years Fifa get high scores in reviews and this one also, i decided to go for it, despite being a Pro Evo only game for the past 8 years. Immediately i was dismayed with the game. Comparing it last years Pro Evo was a complete joke. At the end of the day, Fifa might have the real kits and team names, but when it plays like this..you ain't gonna wanna play it for long. Graphically this game is complete sham, even by the Ps2 standards, it looks rubbish. The stats for players are far ... Read More
