Re: FIFA 09

It would be nice if they implemented a play-off system for the coca-cola championship and leagues 1 and 2. I busted a gut in manager mode to finish in the top 6 (finished 4th) and there were no playoffs to get promoted.
 
Re: FIFA 09

Good about all the tactical changes because so far it's like teams don't have that extra thing which differenciate one playing style from another

Did I read somewhere that in a preview look at '09, one journo said there was a feature in FIFA09 that is so revolutionary, it could make FIFA GOTY...

Any ideas on that?

Wonder if it was just ('just'!) the 10 v 10?

Going back to the faces, just one thing:

Norek faces for old gen pes6 are much better than all this state of the art next gen ones, which means is not the technology that is crucial, it is just don't have very good editors.....u can put all the triple XYE or the double buffering YTR of the world, if ur artists are crap u get zombie looking faces.

Agree with that, some of the faces in PES (and the ill-fated 2008 too) are stunning...

FIFA try to 'model' the faces too much, which makes them less lifelike and more like clay models.

Just noticed players cast shadows on themselves. Look at Rooney's arm casting a shadow on his thigh.

The Ronaldinho model looks amazing! Perfect proportions and detail!

Peter Moore: "Future couldn't be brighter for FIFA"

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=150128

EA Sports trouser-wearer Peter Moore has said with "supreme confidence" that the future "couldn't be brighter" for the next instalment of FIFA.

He was turning over the performance of his division on Peter Moore's Internet diary, which usually focuses on US sports, and revealed he was "never satisfied" and would be hitting this year with more innovation and quality than ever.

And, if he turns out to be wrong, he's toying with the idea of getting another tattoo.

"Some people don't like the heat. I actually love it, and it's been inspiring for me to see that our teams here do as well. Our teams are talented, passionate and motivated. It's a changing marketplace and they're responding to the demands of our consumers by developing some incredible products for the season ahead," said Moore.

"I'm not surprised that NBA Live, which jumped 15 points in review scores [from] a year ago, has the most ground-breaking feature from our line-up this year and we'll unveil it next month at E3. And I'll say with supreme confidence that the future couldn't be brighter for two of our most critically acclaimed products from a year ago - FIFA and NHL.

"We're never satisfied," added Moore. "There's always more we can do. It's what we love about our business. I hate to sound like a cheerleader, but the facts are the facts. And I don't expect them to change any time soon.

"We're hitting this season in terms of quality and innovation stronger than we ever have at EA Sports. If I'm wrong, you'll see me sporting a new tattoo - maybe a competitor's logo?"

Yes, if you could get one for Activision Blizzard that would be lovely.

Peter Moore left Microsoft for super-publisher EA last summer, and his role as president of EA Sports has apparently been ever so successful so far.

Seven of his titles managed to break the one million mark last year, we're told, with three of them making the industry top 20 for the whole of 2007.

FIFA 08 continues to perform well in Europe, finishing at 10 in the UK all formats chart months after its original September 2007 release.
