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: - absolute crap
i am a pes boy and this latest fifa is awful the gameplay is horrible and who cares about officialness apart from those who know nothing about football.

Rating: - Frustrating
Not as good as Fifa 08, EA claim to have made over 250 improvements, I'd like to hear them all. The advantage rule is useless despite the commentators banging on about how great it is repeatedly throughout matches. I've had several goals disallowed and brought back for freekicks which is the most frustrating thing ever.

Another thing that really annoys me is bringing the keeper out to collect any long balls over the top. There's no consistancy, sometimes the keeper will just automatically ... Read More

Rating: - what a game!
it's got everything. first off, it's the most fun fifa game ever. i love that you can take shots in the training ground while you wait for it to load.
the graphics are immense and the stadiums look so real.
the commentary is unbelievably good. Martin Tyler and Andy Gray provide it and i have heard such phrases as "great goal from shevchenko, rediscoving the form he failed to find in his big money move to chelsea"!
better yet, be a pro is so good and realistic. you call for the ball whenever ... Read More

Rating: - The number one football game, by quite a long shot
As the title suggests, having played FIFA and Pro Evo (and having switched between the two over the years - and some others!), FIFA is just a long way ahead at the moment. To try and justify this a little, I felt the same about Pro Evo 3 or 4 years ago. But EA have upped their game culminating in 09 - the best effort thus far.

So I still like the accuracy in the player detail (stats n'all) of FIFA, always have and the addition of the Adidas update facility has made this better still - to my mind ... Read More

Rating: - This game takes PES09 to the cleaners.
I have never been one for PES but i just cannot get why there are so many things wrong with the new one. The uncontrollable lag online, the poor commentary and the lack of realistic gameplay. I played it the other day and it just makes me quite annoyed. You just cannot play football and the lag and loading online is just awful.
But anyway off PES im here to review Fifa
Fifa 09 is in my opinion the best football game i have ever played.
Realistic player movements, better game modes and no more ... Read More
