Re: FIFA 09

It looks like a faster fifa 08. Still we need a much better quality than youtube's.
 
Re: FIFA 09

Looks exactly the same but I have no problem with that, PES/WE was the same for long enough with the tiniest little tweaks. As long as the reaction times are good and the goalkeepers are a lot more realistic, I will be happy. :)
 
Re: FIFA 09

There was a rumour about the revolutionary new feature in NHL09 a few days back (and I think it's going to be the same as FIFAs). I can't remember exactly, but the basic idea was that you can start an online Be A Pro team and play in online leagues. You select a squad of players, so you have more than 11 to pick from in case people can't play.


Yes I think your right on this. If what the rumour leaked says is true you may beable to have like a clan type team , say you chose liverpool, you would get all your mates on the team and whenever you guys decide to play a game you would all meet and go online and beable to play a match against another team , any time , its a global type league so you dont have all the scheduleing its set up more like a quick game.
There is promotion and relegation hinted at.
This is all from the rumour but it sounds legit and sure would help the team play aspect especialy in hockey all the scheduling held it back imo, this sounds like it could be realy good.

i wouldn't mind that at all bruv but it's hardly a revolutionary feature but we'll just have to wait and see.

Re: FIFA 09

I really hope they sort out some of the major flaws in FIFA 08 and Euro 2008. I'm sick of players not running into space or at least attempting to, and I'm generally sick of feeling like I'm not in total control. I press switch player (fully manual controls) and my player decides to run in the opposite direction, I aim a pass at a player, he runs away from it. How hard can it be to program a player to come to the ball or assess how to come into space. Surely we should be able to control off ball movement as well as on the ball.

God forbid I go back to playing PES 2008 on the Wii, but at least I felt in control of every element of the gameplay.

I just hope they make the game fully organic. I'm sick of the scripted CPU that sneaks into the tiniest loopholes in my defence, and the scripted gameplay elements including the age it takes for players to make simples passes, not to mention actually shooting.

I'm really in need of a new football game. I've just sat playing Euro 2008 for the last two hours and I feel so wound up and frustrated. In general, I'm back playing PES5 for Christ's sake. EA have the money and the potential, I hope they really use it. Time will tell.
 
Re: FIFA 09

I want seperate volley button nothing worse then going for volley outside box and it does header instead. :/
 
Re: FIFA 09

the thing is I don't expect improvement to Manager mode if we still didn't have online gaming then Manager mode would probably be where you want it but footie games are been designed more and more for the online gamer I doubt Manager mode got that much attention


Considering that Xbox Live takeup is only something like 50% of all 360 owners + the fact many people have live but don't like to play games online, means that if they ignore singleplayer they're significantly ignoring a very large portion of their consumer base.

Anyways seeing as some can't view this on youtube, I converted it to wmv, cropped the black borders and tried to clean it up a bit:

I think it's probably safe to say we can forget about manager mode overhauls or anything special unless it's online.:r1

You da man.
 
Re: FIFA 09

Very difficult to judge with the low quality and the distance away the vid is shown, but...

1) Looks like FIFA x 10 speed - not good. The pace of FIFA is what set it apart :(

2) Players still sticking too much to formation. Some of the early gameplay vids show absolute cluster-fucks in midfield. Looks like a school-boy game.

3) Keepers look as bad (and have same animation). Like posted above, the guy was going on about how good the keepers were now and the video shows a typical FIFA 08 30 yard effort fly past the GK. Not saying that you shouldnt score 30yarders, but it looks same-old...

4) Nothing jumps out and screams revolution. I know PES iterations were basically the same with tweaks, so hopefully this will be the case, but I'm a bit pessamistic after that vid.

The clip right at the end looks ok TBF... nice sliding tackle, quick response and the ref waving play on.

Guess we'll have to keep our fingers crossed...
 
Re: FIFA 09

The animations look super smooth.

The final gameplay vid shows the tackling and the player keeping his balance after a sliding challenge.It looked real.

This looks to be a big step up in the gameplay department.
 
Re: FIFA 09

I think the video looks alot more like real football than before

from the animations to the player models

Agree with you mate.

By the way, Robert Powell, the best Jesus ever eh?

Which facts? Facts that Xbox Live takeup is roughly 50%? Sorry I thought it was common knowledge......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Sales

Worldwide (units sold) 19 million as of April 25, 2008[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Live#cite_note-14

Xbox Live has since passed the 10 million member mark for paying gold subscribers. This occurred 6 months earlier than Microsoft originally anticipated.[14] On May 14, 2008 Microsoft announced 12 million members.

19 million sold in April, 10 million Live subscribers in May, last time I did any maths that worked out at roughly 50% :)
 
Re: FIFA 09

Yeh i agree it looks very smooth, i disagree about the player sticking to there position PB, if they just were everywhere then there wouldnt be much structure to your play. for example i break and im about to pass to Ronaldo to break on the wing and realise he's standing randomly out of position

where does it state how many people who have bought fifa and have a gold live account? thats the real stat you need, basically how many fifa owners play online
 
Re: FIFA 09

As far as I'm aware there is no such stat available, one would assume that the 50% is across all the board. I think you're getting bogged down too far into semantics rather than admitting you're wrong in the face of the provided stats you asked for.

its not semantics, there is a difference in number of people who play fifa online and the number of people on live... these are two different facts and it is clearly not semantics.... lets face it, people who dont play on live are in the minority when it comes to fifa... i thin most on here tend to agree manager mode is shit
