Fifa 09 (PS3, XBox 360) (Review)

With the annual battle between Fifa and Pro Evolution Soccer getting closer and closer in terms of game quality, Fifa 09 may just take the spoils this time.

With improved game physics and AI, coupled with superb online gameplay this really is as enjoyable a game of footbal you will find on a games console. With over 10,000 players fully licensed and multitudes of tournaments and leagues to play in, both online and offline this really is a joy to behold.

The beauty of the game is that you can pick up and play and enjoy the basics, but after weeks and even months of playing you still find new ways to play the game and utilise more complex actions such as the skills-stick or on the fly tactics which really make a difference to your teams play.

There is also the weekly updates to team/player data that keeps your game completely up to date with player form and transfers.

All in all this is a great game well worthy of a purchase and for me edges the battle with PES because of the reliability of the online gameplay.

  2. I think I still prefer PES to fifa. It just seems to be more realistic whereas Fifa still seems to have that arcade feel to it. I haven’t played this one too much though so I might change my mind soon.

    I prefer FIFA over PES because when i played PES i didn’t like it that much, but i heard that FIFA ‘09 is the best soccer game that has come out so far this year, but either way FIFA games rule.

    It seems like FIFA game this year will be the better of all times, the players look really realistic and they can all do the tricks if you know how to do them. But if you don’t there’s a manual for the game for whatever console you have.

  6. I have a hard time using the tacticts. I change the formations and the way and the direction that my players attack, but it still doesn’t seam like any change has been made. But FIFA 09 is the best game ever.

  7. Looks good.

    I loved winning Eleven (Pes) way back on playstation2, but Fifa 09 is far way better than Pes on Ps3

  9. Fifa 09 looks amazing! EA has managed to create a real environment. All players are looking great.

  10. I have been following EA sports for long long time. And I have played every football game that is made by them. I am looking forward to see Fifa 09 and very excited..

    Sherry!

  11. FIFA 09 is the best FIFA release to date. Thanks for the post, I enjoyed reading it.

  12. I’ve had every fifa since 2003, and after the purchase of my ps3 in 2007, I decided to get PES2008, to test it out.

    Although I enjoy it, it’s a completely different game from Fifa, and I find that I can’t get into it.
    In the end, it comes down to personal preference; and mine is with Fifa.

    That being said – fifa09 was a big let down for EA. The game play is decreased in quality, and the graphics seem less realistic. I know they’ve added cool new features, but I personally feel it’s a step down from 08.

  13. OMG the graphics look so real!

  14. this is the badest game ive played out of all the fifa this is the best 1 out of them all

  15. I am so glad I upgraded to the PS3. The graphics on this game are amazing. As a matter of fact, the reason I decided to check it out was because of your post. Thank your for bringing this game to my attention. Alot of fun, and a bit addicting. I just wanted to take a quick break to post. Well, I’m off, I’ve got a cup to win!

  16. I just saw the video for fifa 09 and the graphics are incredible. I need to save up for a ps3 man.

  17. I was just thinking how even though it’s moved on in leaps and bounds, and I know that the graphics are not the prime feature of the game… How much more realistic, ’soft’ the graphics could be. I was expecting the new platform nextgen consoles to have an almost animate movie, sort of Beowulf quality that just seems to be lacking. However, , as usual, will just HAVE to buy this game for the Xbox.

  18. This is still the best game you can buy for the PS3, if you have not got it yet, what are you waiting for. Go get it. :-)

  19. This game is one of the best games for soccer/ football( in some countries) lovers. I have played any games and this game has to be hands down the best. I played it with my friends for hours over beers and pizza. I know for sure my grades will slide this term. :)

  20. I love the fact that you can learn new skills, even after playing this game for months, especially because I normally get really bored with games after a while.

  21. I just got this game and it s brilliant. Fulham won the Champions league

  22. Ths is a fabulous gamethat keeps me entertained for hours. It takes a bit longer to master than most

    Hey Hey Hey … What do we have here.. Speaking about automobiles, You heard about the Electric Car?

  25. I think Fifa 09 is a great game and I often play it on my xbox, it’s a shame I am not very good at it!

  26. I would prefer PES gameplay rather than FIFA, but EA has improved a lot in these years, I think I should give a try to it.

  27. Thank’s, Great Post !

  28. I finally got a PS3 Slim and this game is ace.

  29. absolutely loved this game. Great to see that fifa have bridged the gap on PES in terms of gameplay. Very interested to see how fifa10 will be.

  30. fare well

  31. my review for FIFA 2009 PS3 is based primarily on the European game (the PAL version), although I am lead to believe that the game is extremely similar worldwide. What FIFA and every football game ever made is all about is the game play – how realistic is it, and how fun is it? Striking a balance seems to be the holy grail for some developers, and none have ever come as close as E.A. Sports have with the FIFA 2009 PS3 version. The PS3’s graphics obviously help a lot with the realism of the game, as you can now recognise players just from their in-game faces, and the in-game animations are clearly making the most of the latest motion capture technology. In addition to this, the game’s commentary is once again done brilliantly by Martin Tyler and Andy Gray – giving the game a very realistic feel.

  32. Thanks for the information, greet post.

  33. me and my friends ..just crazy about this game…. we just love this game..
