FIFA 09 (PS3) December 5, 2008
Mr. J. E. Barham (UK)
FIFA 09 (PS3)
This year you have a choice arcade style ping pong football PES or a real sim FIFA 09.
FIFA did have an issue tho so it is important you update the patch so connect you system to the internet before playing.
The passing is so realistic you need vision to spot players making runs into space the crossing is like the real game and makes it very exciting when the ball is crossed into the danger zone.
Shooting is perfect you can score wonder goals but as they are rare it makes it feel like you have done something brilliant.
I play against me friend most days and every game is different.
So why is this game so good well the ball does not stick to feet you need to reacact to lose balls in midfield meaning there is a realistic midfield battle. When running at a defender it is possable to turn them and use a clever pass to set a player up to score. Headers now are a battle for possition and need perfect timing you can miss the ball.
Watch talented FIFA players and watch match of the day it is identical to the real thing.
So ask yourself do you want real football with the correct teams or do you want an arcade game that is just about more modern in gameplay than sensi soccer. Football or soccer make your choice

I have bought both games, and I have reviewed PES 2009 (look for dentistTubster). I cannot be bothered to review Fifa, but here is roughly what I think:
- There are about 3 different ways to score:
1) The through ball/lofted through ball followed by a tap of finesse shot if the keeper stays back, or a chip if he comes out.
2) The set piece option - corners, free kicks and penalties.
3) The classic PES goal - run to the byline, cut it back with the pass button and hammer it into the basically empty net whilst the keeper is still fishing about at the near post.
That is it. It is literally almost impossible to score outside the box, because you have to get the power perfect for it to go anywhere near on target, and the keepers are just far too good. And crossing just will never work, its a waste of posession. You have to get ahead of the full back, and then hope to god you have an unmarked guy in the middle, because no matter if you have the illegitimate child of Peter Crouch and Nwankwo Kanu in the centre, they will never ever win the header.
- The passing system is sluggish and rubbish - you pass the ball only for it to trickle along the ground to the player. What kind of fun is that? There is nothing "crisp" about this - it is more like soggy bacon than crackling. Lobbed through balls go 20 yards too far. Using the skill button feels cheap, because the AI defenders get totally bamboozled... but trying to use it on a human player and nothing happens. In fact, you simply get tackled. It is gimmicky and a waste of time.
- The graphics are barely changed from 08, although you do at least get different types of weather this time (what the hell were EA doing last time removing that particular feature?!) But barely anything else has changed, the physics is identical, there are maybe 10 more animations that you actually see and care about.
- This game does have some good points - the aforementioned graphics, which are more realistic than PES, if a little plasticky. Also the music, a great EA mainstay, and the commentary are excellent. The PA announcer stays, and his sometimes hilarious comments are definitely a valuable contribution.
But overall, this game is very arcadey, and easy to get good at. You will end up playing guys online and find that everyone ranging from low points to high points will be just as good as you. Just buy PES.

i have bought fifa 09 and pes 2009 and without a doubt fifa 09 beats pes09 hands down. saying that pes 09 is not a bad game at all, fifa 09 is just perfect. the best part of fifa 09 is the online play and leagues. ther games run perfectly smooth with no lagging(something still common to pes09) and every game is different. the player likeness is perfect and the full licencing of teams is a great bonus. also for free i downloaded from the playstation store additional commentaries which are added to the game. this is a great bonus and i hope that they will continue to keep upgrading the commentary for free. all in all this is a great football game. if it does have any flaws i havent seen them yet and i dont think i will. pes 09 is also a great game but its just no where near the quality of this game. fifa 09 is a must buy
