So FIFA 2009 is the GOAT Next-Gen Sports Game

A legitimate gripe, it's not like this happens all the time. It's rare if anything and quite trivial compared to some of the problems in games like2k9.

And it particularly sucks when I attempt a defensive clearance and since I held square before the player gets the ball, he doesn't clear so I have to press it again. Also, One button is used for tackle and passing, and one button used for sliding and lobbing a pass. I sometimes pass after a tackle just because I was pressing the tackle button to get possession. Or when I try to slide in on defense but somehow get control of the ball and I clear it out instead. Like how is someone supposed to react to the potential 0.3 milliseconds it takes to go from a defensive position to an offensive one?

This isn't really a problem with quality players

The skill moves just take practice. I'm not going to act like I'm a pro at them because I rarely use them but I've seen themeffectively used online a good amount.

True, this wasn't as big of a problem in 08.

I don't know why but I've always loved NHL and FIFA games but could care less about the sport and don't even follow it the slightest.

Is it a created player or regular player ?
The only time player's ratings change are when you dl the roster update from adidas live season from actually how theyperformed on the pitch.

How do you request a game?

FIFA 2009 does have some flaws for instance players falling after being tackled(no slide tackle) for the ball
lack of dribbling it never works for me(L2+ R)
auto switching is

The defense is also very susceptible and vulnerable to lead passes. Having someone like Wayne Rooney or Francisco Fernando Torres running towards a lead pass with one defender on them almost always leads to a breakaway.

However, although the game is very frustrating, it is very competitive and fun to play.

That being said, I'm down for a PS3 tournament or league.

PSN ID is WHPH10.

couple errors there, but agree with some. Fancy dribbles are essential to this game, works tons o' times, unless you're playing against cpu onlegendary.

Ok, sooo I got a newbie type of question. Been looking for a good sports game to pick up, I am guilty of playingt he usual suspects: Madden, NBA 2k, MLB 2k,now..I have been thinking about either picking up soccer or hockey. Is this game really that good? I only have a 360.

Gonna have to check this out. Not too sure. But if they have a demo on xbox live that would be great. Is it relatively easy to pick up(as in game controls wise.)

it may take some getting used to... fifa's been out for a while so the competition online is pretty rough.

 

[craftsy21]

NHL 09 might be better.. but both are good, so get either one or both!

 

[777]

^Are you sure ? because I can't even use a created player in exhibition mode.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You can turn it down or completely off. I put my down to the very last notch so I basically switch players when I want.

Probably my biggest complaint. So frustrating when your player barely gets nudged and he reacts like he just ran into a brick wall at full speed.

Other than that though they did an incredible job with the physics.

And I'm telling you guys, the skill moves just take practice. The hardest part is remembering that your player is rotated 90 degrees compared to when youdo them in the Arena.
