FIFA 09

Fifa 09's graphic's are slightly better compared to Fifa 08 but as for the rest it's nearly the same. The graphics of this game cannot be compared to the latest consoles. I would recommend this game only if you don't have Fifa 08 but it's a great game anyway.

This is so similar to fifa 08, the celebrations are the same, some of the players look more similar to the stars, however the playability is the same nothing really has changed. Perhaps for fifa10 they should get the stars to celebrate like the real stars, so much has remained the same!

Another year another fifa and this years fifa is not much different from 08 - the graphics are the same, the layout is pretty much the same its just the squads that have changed and the new pass and shoot buttons which dont have power gauges.
I think for this to be the game it should be you have to get a ps3

I waited in anticipation for this latest release of FIFA (09), read the the reviews and thought at last they may have got it right, well what a disappointment. Still the same flaws as before. Where do I start there are so many, being a UEFA B coach I think I know a bit about football unfortunately EA have programmers who don't. Game play in Manager Mode is really bad like the previous editions. Commentary does not match what has happened and here is just one example "What a shot when a player has head the ball", but the real in game problems have never gone away.

Goals are still being awarded when shots just go slightly wide of the goal and if a cross comes in from the wings and hits the side netting, is that (Stuart Attwell) refereeing.

Offside seem to be hit and miss, scored several goals in only a few games into my season which even Rob Stiles would have definitely got the decision right for offside.

Scored a goal in one game then suddenly I have no players at kick off the opposition score and then my team reappears at kick off.

Still the computer player with the ball will run across from one side of the pitch to the other side without passing and then run the ball out for a throw in.

Great play by the computer it has broken down my defence it's one on one with my goalkeeper just outside the penalty area, my defence gives chase, it's down to my goalkeeper now, but hang on the computer player doesn't want to score instead he heads back towards my defenders (Pele or Best) comes to mind who could have gone round the entire opposition again. This is really a joke.

Goalkeeper kits clash with the opposition.

Transfers of players to computer teams, sold Berbatov (9) to Newcastle United made a profit (Great), two games later Berbatov is wearing the No (2) shirt, this is where the game falls down badly, any player sold that is not as good as the player wearing the same shirt No is always allocated No 2, if the player coming in is better then he takes his previous club shirt No and the player who was that No is then moved to shirt No that is next available.

But now there are added features which have come into this addition of FIFA, shielding of the ball, if you turn your back on the computer opposition players and not move, it takes an age for the computer to register that it has to go to your player.

In my opinion don't bother buying it

I was a huge pro fan after fifa kept bringing out really fake football games, but last year i bought pro like i always do but for the ps3 and it was really bad every think that was good on the ps2 versions didn't follow on to "next gen gaming".

I heard fifa 08 was really good so i downloaded the demo for fifa 09 it was so great i pre-ordered it.

Let me tell you the fifa 09 demo is nothing compared to the actually game, i mean once you start playing it you ll see little things that make the game real like the way tevez shifts the ball from his right foot to left to place it in the corner. You can curl the ball in this game and place the ball in the net like you would when you actually play football. This was never evident in pro overall fifa 09 is the best buy do not even wait for pro to come out and try both just get this if you played the pro 09 demo its even worst then mario soccer!!
