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: - Best football game ever!
After purchasing this game, I was very pleased as it is the best Fifa game to date. The graphics are brilliant and game play to match. I would definitely recommend any football and PS3 fan this game. It seems like every detail has been accounted for, from the wonderful detail and likeness to the real players, to the brand names on the back of the net. I would give this game 10/10, it really is brilliant!

Rating: - Horrible Game
What have they done to Fifa, I feel they have tried to become PRO EVO and have failled. I have always been a fan of FIFA until this 2009 edition. After buying this game in good spirits I have been let down to the max, I cannot play this game for longer than 10-15 minutes before it becomes soul destroying. From now on I would say try before you buy.

i watched the fifa games get better and better from 95 to about 2002....they started to go downhill at this point which made 03,04 and 05 complete disasters.06 was nothing special so ea needed a big one in 07.they did that and went on to make 08 extremely impressive aswell.
with 09 i admire what theyve done except the gameplay.can be very fustrating with ... Read More

Rating: - FIFA gets a whole lot better
The best FIFA yet.... by a long way.
Now I look at FIFA through tinted glasses as I have always been a fan of the series. But after 08 I was getting fed up with the slow player reations, stuttery gameplay and stupidity of the refs.
Well for the moist part the flaws are ironed out. Yes players tend to look ovet their shoulder when revieving a pass over the top and it can lead to silly goals of missed chnces. But you can work over this with experience. Defence is massively improved and ... Read More
