FIFA 09 Review

By Wesley Yin-Poole - 30/09/2008 - 9:06am GMT

We had worried that FIFA 09 was going to end up like EURO 08 with a Premiership skin. Luckily for us, we were wrong. The best FIFA game ever made.

The best pes game was pes 6 and that was when FIFA sucked crap. And to those of you who just comment "pes is king" you are douchebags who can't support your answer. FIFA wins this year.

Carlos	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I don`t care if headers jump too son...or if the game is fast or slow...i care about how easy is to score in fifa 09...you cannot make a mistake because you will surely pay it with a goal...then if u re playing with barcelona and give messi, eto'o or henry the ball is 90% goal cuz they outrun any defender in speed and in 1on1 with the keeper is 90% goal...u can score with your eyes closed...EA didn`t understand what we criticise from fifa 08...we criticise its difficult with the new controls and 1 player moves...not difficult to score...if ure playing with fast players you will always win...just because of the speed of your strikers and the accurate of the shots...the only way you can win and have fun in fifa is to improve your defensive skills...to the point they're almost perfect...

Sam O.	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post A Must Read! ( I corrected my Typos) :D See, let me start with the problem i have with Fifa 09... Why will you ignore major African countries like Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Senegal? Have they gone raving mad???? I spent over $630 purchasing a ps3 console and fifa 09 with pro evolution soccer 09, its crazy expensive here, i sold my xbox 360 for ps3 just becos i couldnt get fifa 09 on pal xbox 360 here... only to discover there is no Nigeria in the damn game! And alot of other noble teams :(( Besides that... come on!!!!! I have been playing video games for over a decade now, more a pes fan than fifa, fifa series has always irritated me... but Fifa 09!!!!! Come on, are you guys frea**g Blind???? I'm selling off pro evolution soccer 09 tomorrow, i bought it for $100 here, its expensive in Africa. What the heck! If you want some real football get Fifa 09 i got mine today, and i have been playing pes 09 on xbox for about 2 months, playing fifa 09 on ps3 has changed my life lol. If Fifa 09 isn't the best soccer game in the market why are they collecting all the awards? Search the web, they are having all the awards, all the editor's choice awards, so that means they got the better review and more reviews than pes 09... sorry! I do not mean to talk ill about pes 09,if they update their graphics, then i will retrun to my vomit, Konami has the feel of the game, but they better go hire a better graphic designer and try to beat ea's fifa 09, then that means we have a battle on our hands. If i read anyone praising pes 09, you have me to contend with, blind Moros! Long Live the game of soccer! Peace Out! Reply

Sam O.	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Hey, i forgot to add, i see some people complain about Fifa 09's Camera, If you are not blind, just go to the tele or broadcast or which ever camera you want, go down a little bit and customize the camera instead of the default. You can customize the height, camera zoom and what not. I also read someone complained about not been enough substitute on the reserve, go to the game settings, i.e " My Fifa" Click on the advanced, change the number of player you want on the substitute from 6 to 12. What else am i forgetting... who cares? Good Luck! Reply

After trying to stick with them year after year, I've given up - FIFA has finally reached a point where its strength isn't only the licencing. Reply

steve-okenobi	2 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post WTF!!!!!!!!! are all u ppl wasters or wot. PES better than FIFA gimme a break, PES is for those ppl dat cant play football its an arcade game. FIFA is the king of footy sims. I played PES 08 once just to see wot ppl were raving bout and i won 18-0 against the cpu so i cranked up the difficulty setting to legend and still won 6-0 every shot was a goal it was pathetic a real waste of my time, FIFA is a REAL footy game its a simulator not an arcade so real footy fans will rly appreciate it, granted its not perfect but it certainly beats PES hands down, the graphics, the gameplay and of course the licenses. EA were makin FIFA way b4 PES was even thought of and i piss myself laughing at KONAMI for even thinkin they can compete with the big boys. KONAMI shud stick to makin other games instead of deadbeat fifa wannabes lmao. FIFA rocks PES socks off YEEEEAAAAH!!!!!!!!!Last edited on Wed 8 July 2009 by FantasyMeister Report Reply

clarkyson	1 0 In response to RiggersD's post You're wrong Seabass. You obviously aren't a true footy fan. We want realism. Maybe the casual gamer wants an arcady, goal fest, but they will be on and off pes before you know it. Fifa 09 is a revolution, a beautiful, flowing, challenging, realistic football game. You guys obviously are making a game for non football fans » Go to RiggersD's original post you dont no wat ur talking about fifa 09 is one of the worst football sims ive ever played it is riddled with glitches. to become good at fifa you must first learn how 2 play the programing mistakes 2 your advantage.Absolute shite!
