"FIFA 2009: Strong form for the other football.
EA Sports allowed the international assemblage of game journalists extensive hands-on time with the upcoming new version of FIFA 2009. Here's what we saw in this impressive demonstration:
Considerable gameplay improvements: Consistent with the company's improvements on its other football titles, FIFA 2009 exhibited some promising gameplay improvements. Most noticeable is the game's increased responsiveness. Passing, dribbling, and even the physical pushing and shoving that occurs in the game all occur at a much faster and more realistic pace than previous versions of FIFA. The game's graphics have traditionally been impressive, and the heightened realism around the animations has a huge positive impact on the overall quality of play. Here's an example: During sliding tackles, the ball-handler can adjust and prevent themselves from falling if their non weight-bearing leg is tackled. Another example is goalkeepers' ability to reach behind their bodies if they misjudge a shot on goal.
Customizable strategic depth: FIFA 2009 will allow players the ability to customize and create specific offensive and defensive play sets and strategies for different in-game scenarios by choosing between a variety of aggression levels and risk-taking.
Be A Pro: Players can create their own pro soccer player and attempt to become a legend by playing through a series of games staged over the course of 4 seasons.
In a riveting match between this reporter and a fairly experienced gaming writer from Poland, GamePro held fast to a 0-0 draw that held the game's Vancouver-based designers riveted. Based upon the raised eyebrows of my opponent, it was clear that Poland could not believe that this upstart American could hold his own on the pitch. "

. more depth to each player, their needs to be a individuality, when in control of Kaka it feels the same as when your in control of a Championship player. i can accept it could be difficult doing this for lower divisions but for all the top ones they should have individuality and then improve on that in future releases. Im happy with 5v5 for now i think its the right balance 10v10 wont work IMO not many people want to control less involved players while 5 on each side is enough to find appropriate players as well as enough more involving positions to go around. all the other stuff has been confirmed like Be a Pro Seasons etc. Still one thing im eagerly awaiting is the "revolutionary" feature, hopefully this game lives up to its hype.
