Can anyone tell me whether this 10 vs 10 multiplayer online mode is limited to one person per console or is it possible to invite a few friends over and play together online?

One person per console I would guess, same as FIFA08 5v5.

Thanks for the info. I don't own FIFA08 but I'm seriously thinking of getting FIFA09 over PES09 just for this 10 vs 10 multiplayer online mode. I'm wondering what is the online lag like on FIFA08 when you're playing against players from different continents? Is it negligible or does it get loads of slowdown?
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

In 1v1, 90% of the time there is no lag. I have played against people from USA, Australia and Japan with no lag sometimes, (mostly that far away lags though so I just quit out after 5 mins if it's lagging). Played 5v5 with a couple of Americans once or twice and that was fine when it worked as I recall. 5v5 is VERY buggy on FIFA08 though, unless they improve the code and reliability 10v10 will be a complete waste of time :((.

Does that affect your DNF % ?

I have had maybe 3 laggy games where it was not enjoyable, but I just stuck it out as I dont like getting disconnects recorded agains me.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

they should make them count on your dnf record, it would stop people quiting so much
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Thats Fifa 08. No referee and scoreboards, player name bars are the same
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

The second one just to take the piss isnt it surely no close up of game only of guy with ps3 pad. :/

The video in background of first vid Fifa 08 isnt it ? dont see point of that if they are speaking about 09.

Edit: Thought it was
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

i know what you mean, sorry for getting your hopes up I knew the first one was 08 but I was just hoping there might be some new info and true the second one was a bit of a nerdfest:CW:
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

on the first video the guy try FIFA09 in Canada

says very good FIFA, more next gen experience than konami, but add EA do shit in first next gen too, time reaction is better (finally...), better collission, be a pro = 4 seasons, graphics look like almost the same and for the Wii FIFA is more like PES Wii.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

I guess that Jeux Video etc get 1st dibs on showings and probably have some sort of exclusive deal as they were there last year 1st with all the videos like you said :)
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

you see the close-up of the spanish player (fabregas?) during the freekick in the second vid? :) :)
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Yeah it was a penalty :LOL:

Anyway those vids show pretty much nothing :| (first one is FIFA 08)
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Thanks for the vids. First one they only talk about FIFA 09 I think, but gameplay footage is from FIFA 08. And second vid the only thing we can see is that the lightning is many times better in FIFA 09. You can see that with the penalty kick...
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

woops :)

i meant penalty kick! GIVE US BETTER VIDS EA!

Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Man before I realised it was FIFA 08 in that video I was so disappointed...

Every time I hear something EA has tried to fix or implemented a new feature it's like they've read my mind. Because as I understand it you can now in 09 run fast/hard at players so they fall over? That will be sweet because I hate it how your player just stop behind the opponent and don't do shit if you mistime a standing tackle even if you had great speed.

I really miss one thing from PES 5 (I think it was) and that is when you mistimed a standing tackle it would often result in a freekick. All the kids hated it though so it was removed in the next version so it was back to 2 freekicks per game. It was the only time it required skills to defend and as an attacker you could take advantage of this by cleverly trap the ball when someone was trying to take it from a bad angle.

Thank you!

Alot of people complain about PES5 and the fouls. I think it is spot on.


Basically, in FIFA08 it is very easy to get close to players (you can run just behind a CPU player for a long time and he will evade and turn to keep you from passing him. But once you are there, your player won't do anything like use his arms or put legs out etc.

In PES5, it was instead harder to get close to players, but your player would actually do stuff once he was close to a defender.
BUT, it was only if you were holding X that your player would be aggressive and cause alot of fouls. Carefully tapping X at the proper times instead meant that your player would do jabs at the ball and such with the proper timing.

The only bad thing with PES5 was perhaps that sometimes a situation didn't look like it deserved a freekick. In other words, it didn't look like much happened, your player would run into an opponent and there would be a freekick. The realism of the forces involved in a collision and battle were kind of lost, making it seem like the ref were blowing the whistle for little things (even though you just charged full-speed into an opponent, it just didn't seem forceful enough to warrant a freekick).

It's sort of the same thing with real football. You might see someone take a little touch to the shin and go down crying like a little baby.
But when I stub my toe against my bedleg, I cry too, and that wouldn't seem really forcefull from afar aswell.



But basically, PES5 was great, because as long as you weren't holding X ("attack the opponent mode"), you wouldn't really concede alot of freekicks. BUT it would still happen if you were just running behind a player and clipped his legs, or run into a player with your elbow smashing him away from the ball, etc.
Overall I think PES5 was awesome when it came to the foul and jostle system, it only would have needed some beter animations to really make the force of a collision or such evident, or really make it apparent with an animation that you just hooked that opponents lleg with your foot and he was going down no matter what he tried (because instead of actually seeing his hooked leg go back and not be planted when it should causing him to collapse, PES5 would just play out a more generic fall animation where his leg would go straight through yours, and thus making it seem like he just stumbled slightly).


Hope my point comes across. :)

But yeah, basically rather PES5 than FIFA08 when it comes to fouls for me.
