Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

wow, previous post was before seeing these new vids... game looks awesome in action. i was a tiny bit worried about reaction times being TOO fast and 90 degree turns being too fast as a result but it seems like that's not the case. There possibly was a bit too much falling but could also be the result of these guys running full steam into all tackles?

Also a recent preview said shots may be a bit too accurate, can't judge off that for sure but i think we saw only 1 shot out of 5 miss, and that was off the crossbar? The drogba goal he steps away from the goal then suddenly shoots and it's right on target. Tho it is Drogba so could be attributes at work.

The fact that this is an early build tho (at least according to Rutter) is quite a good sign. When is the Leipzig conference?

They are miles apart in some aspects right now. If someone told me the new PES trailer was an old one someone made of PES2008 I would've believed them.


Plus look closely at defenders and such in the PES trailer. Some just stop in the penalty area rather than moving in on the opponent. Again reminds me of the abysmal positioning of PES2008.




Also, why has Jack Bauer gone incognito? Has he uncovered a massive conspiracy within the US government and counterterrorism units.. for the 4th time?

Yes pes will always have a chance, but not this year. Yes in the future im sure it will as it once was the superior game to fifa. But this year pes doesnt have a chance.

Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

The videos so far look GREAT to be honest... I am looking forward to finally convert from PES 5 on the PS2 to Fifa 09 on PS3 or 360. Just a couple of things that are missing for me in the videos sown today :

1) All the passes made are mainly direct and across the GROUND. I want to see some long balls and long passes.

2) I want to see the ball boucing around and VOLLEYS!!!! For those of you who have played PES will know the feeling of thwacking a loose bouncing ball outside the box towards goal. Even a miss feels like a goal scored. I hope EA can get that feel right..just like PES.

Just my personal opinion.

100% agree. Want to know how the volleys work.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

yeah by far PES volleys are so class! FIFA is so poor in this aspect and even when you catch them in fifa it doesn't seem right I have scored some beauties of volleys on fifa 08 but the goalies just didn't act right!
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Very good question about the volleys actually, whenever you pull one off it's a complete accident, you press to head the ball and suddenly Torres goes down like he's having a fit and spaz-kicks the ball off the pitch.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

I don't agree with volleys requiring another button at all. A volley is a kind of shot that must happen when the ball is 20 cms or so above the ground.

The animation should depend on the height of the ball and the actual result of the volley should take into consideration a lot of factors, the mos obvious being: height of the ball, speed and direction of the ball, direction of the shot attempt, balance of the player, power based on powerbar determined with the button press, stats of the player regarding shooting and volleying and so...

The game shoulg use procedural animation to accomplish this, and all this should determine a ball trajectory according to the ball physics in the game.

So, it's not as simple as the volleys in pes, where they were very spectacular, but you did nearly nothing to deserve the result. So I hope they do it well and take into consideration all factors.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

But it will cut out mistake of what happens now when go for volley and it heads it from outside box happens so many times.

It can still be all down to timing but wont be confused with header on button press.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Maybe holding down the left trigger while pressing shoot to perform a volley - the player would then try to volley the ball no matter what the height.

Would result in some comedy football gymnastics as well :)
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Anyone good at making animated gifs there potentinal for a few from these screenshots as some run in sequence.

12 to 18 in Man Utd vs Barca pics showing new collision system as Vidic goes in for slide tackle and Xavi goes flying.

Well, the Lampard direct shot looked miles better than anything FIFA08 could offer. It was sort of volley-ish I guess (bouncing ball).

But I'd like to see a true volley shot and see how they programmed that logic.
