FIFA 09


With its staggeringly impressive 250 additions and enhancements, Electronic Arts’ launch of FIFA09 has made football gaming fans around the globe sit up and take notice, and it seems that FIFA is now a serious challenge to its main rival, Pro Evolution Soccer.
With the use of real life current data, players are now passing and running in the style of their real life counterparts, with superbly realistic collisions taking the game up to a whole new level. John Erikson of gamingheaven.net is particularly impressed by the animations of the players when they are off ball, running into free space, and calling for the ball, and I agree that this does add some stunning realism to the game.
Not only do players now act like the real life footballers, but they also look like them. The close-to-reality feel of the game is enhanced with the host of leagues that are now included, from the English Premier League to the German Bundesliga, which will surely give the game strong appeal to football fanatics worldwide. The audio of the supporters is very effective too, with the fans of different teams doing their particular chants.
The feel of the online play of FIFA09 is refreshingly free from time lag, and compares very well with PES. All this means better ball movement, and better teamwork.
The sheer accuracy of the FIFA09 has led to rave reviews, and if you are in the market for a football game, it is now a pretty tough call to decide between FIFA and PES. Paul Vale, of the UK newspaper The Daily Star, is one critic that feels that his allegiance has now changed, describing FIFA09 as “one of the most complete sports simulations ever created”, citing the game’s smoothness.
With the launch of FIFA09, FIFA has thrown down the gauntlet to PES.
