Yeah, looks far better than the ultra close-up that FIFA normally has.

I thought the collision detection was amazing?

A hand through the body when running is not collision detection related. Would you prefer players sliding away when their hands bumps into something? :)

The alternative is adaptive animations, and while that would be nice, it's not really essential for arms and such. They have adaptive animations for shooting and such so that the foot seeks out the ball for situations where the ball might not be in the "optimum" place for a shot in regards to the static animation.

By collsion detection they mean the system for registering how much force in a tackle or collision has been transferred to a player, and also the animations that follow to translate those forces into soemthing we humans can relate to.

Basically, if someone is hit in the chest, his feet won't flip up, but he'll go down in a way that is realistic as a reaction to the tackle.

Also it means that if you run into someone they will get bumped out of the way, as opposed to FIFA08 where you could just run after AI players all day and they wouldn't budge or trip even though your player was basically leaning on him.

And now, as opposed to FIFA08, if a big player collides with a smaller player, the results will reflect their differences in mass and composure.

And, headers can result in injuries, and missed headers can make players stumble as they hit the ground.

There's a bit more than arms through arms to consider. ;)

I can safely assume that PS3 exclusive mode is tied into HOME. When creating a match either normal 1v1 or BAP 10v10 you will meet with your team and opponents in an EA game space that will resemble a dressing room within HOME. From there you can discuss tactics and use an interactive 'whiteboard' to set up plays and formation and then launch directly into the game without any menus apart from settings.

A hundred Zimbabwe dollars $ that this turns out true.

Just like the Warhawk Home space
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Its probably mid way through the animation where they go on the diagram one by one
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

They've got the cannons there now but its still on concrete. Should look like this

EA really do a crap job with the licences they have
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Regarding 10 v 10... If you go into a game and it doesn't end up being 10 v 10, I hope the option to play as any player is taken out.

I can't stand it when people do it in 08 during 5 v 5. I know some people like to do it but when I join a lobby and I want everybody to be only one player, it's annoying. There should be an option available to state whether you can be Any or not.

Different scoreboard

There might be different designs, or they are from different builds where the design has changed from one to the next.

Or one is PC; I don't remember the differences from PC and consoles that help you tell them apart. :)

Not sure they are PC and console though, because there is a player in both who has almost exactly the same running pose, and from the PC footage I've seen most runing animations etc looks old-gen.

Though it's non-motion pictures, so just food for thought. ;)


EDIT: Also sorry to Jonny for stealing your avatar theme, but I felt it was deserved seeing how awesome the Joker was. ;)

yeah after a few checks they are both next gen

maybe the scoreboard is different for friendlies
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

the problem about the big gap is the fixed pitch size - they have to adjust the stadium size in order to fit it around the green. if they move it closer, the whole stadium would be sized down, that would led into totally wrong proportions between players and the ground. so they seem to rather have a bigger gap than a too small stadium.

Sure, I thought you were talking about an in game picture. I agree about the cutscenes.

I really don't like the cut scenes at all. I rather see everything is kept in game. If you get a card, let the ref run up to you and show it. Same with goal cut scenes, looks shit and breaks the illusion of a real game to me.

Third quote on this sorry but I hate cut scenes too I hate lots of things it seams, but what I like I love passionately...

This is definitely the right way to go and it is a great concept, because it will finally bring some definition into the close quarters play.
Before you just held A and RT (xbox controls) and sprinted after like a maniac. This would give you the possibility to time the tackle and, more importantly, decide exactly when to tackle, instead of holding A and hopeing the player will do anything at all.

AND, this might be awesome for human vs. human duels, since the defender needs to time the tackle to avoid selling himself, and the attacker can use various tricks into fooling the defender into tackling at the wrong time.


One of the best news I've heard for FIFA09 assuming it's true, it is very valuable if done right. Obviously they could eff it up just the same, but it has lots potential. I just hope that the player will really do a tackle animation as well, such as stab with his foot or something. That way you can get more PES5 situations where you kick someone down or trip them with your leg if your not careful. That will make it more gratifying defending as well, no more running and running until your player decides that he is close enough to the ball to take it with his leg.

I agree it's better than just holding a button but I hate the combo button thing, we have a sprint, run and jostle button so why not a tackle button, 'X', you can then choose to sprint or run and jostle or tackle or any variation?...
