Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Didn't someone post an interview with some FIFA guy saying that the problem with 360 movement would be that the player had to touch the ball every degree they turn? That's not true because that is not how the 360 movement should work. The way it should work is after you touch the ball the player and ball will move in the direction you point, and only when you touch the ball again (have it under full control) can you change direction. This is basically how it works in real life, it's not like they should make it behave like if you're playing the NHL game where the puck (ball) always stick to your club (foot).

It would actually work exactly like now but without the 45 degree snapping. I don't think you really need all 360 degrees, I think 64 or maybe 128 would be more than enough. It's not like you often feel that you have the urge to turn one degree to the left.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

I agree, full 360 is probably not neccessary, but we should not be going back to 8-way movement. The news about the d-pad means that people using manual passing/shooting/through-balls will become even rarer, with more settling for the easy fully-assisted 8-directional gameplay.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Anyone remember JBs diagram of PES's D-pad passing?

well that why PES is so arcadey and if it is in Fifa will go the same way
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

will people stop whining about D-pad

You will be able to use D-Pad or analog so everyones happy so everyone just STFU
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

That isnt the issue.

The issue is that the game structure wont develop to more free movement if you are allowed to play with the d-pad.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

god who cares

PES08 had more direction movement (i am pretty sure) and it fucking sucked. i am happy with the way it is
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

It's a shame EA choose to enable the d-pad movement.
You can't even compare the movement of FIFA08 or EURO08 to PES.
I hope we can choose if we want to use d-pad or analog, so if we choose analog, it will disable the limitation of the stupid d-pad.

Seeing as dozens of people in 100s of posts since the release of Fifa07 on 360 have whinged about not being able to use the D-Pad in here and other places on the net I think those not happy about the result of that pathetic whinging also have the right to share their opinion here and where else, if you don't like it you have the option of not reading this thread.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

wow. so people dont liek the fact that you can now use the dpad? shocking innit placeyboi
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Thing is its trying to cater for both people i dont see big problem surely full 360 movement could still be created for use with stick it wouldnt effect d-pad as would just default to 8 way surely if selected. ?

Im sure it could be programmed to do just that unless im missing something.

That's what I said... It's the smartest thing to do (beside to disable the d-pad option forever) and I hope EA will do it.

That's what I think too, I will still be playing with 360 movement, but there's a lot of people who come to my house to play FIFA, who will love to play with the d-pad.
I really don't understand what's the problem with this :SS

Surely EA will not be "that" stupid to take out 360 movement from the game just to have d-pad movement
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Doesnt that simply mean that it gives the person using the D-pad a disadvantage using it and if you use the Analog it will support 16 way movement?
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

I doubt it will make much of difference in term of match but maybe im wrong.

Your just have more precise control 8 way is quite effective now so cant see it hindering performance that much.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Inside info from EA suggests what they meant was that when you press down on the D pad it untucks the player you are controling's shirt.

Pressing up tucks it back in again.

Not really because when passing and taking shots with the D-pad the game will pass or shoot at the nearest angle your pressing so its gonna be easier to pass and especially shoot

With the Analogue there is massive margins for error when shooting, when using a dpad pressing up/left will only go 1 way

Does that make sense :LOL:

D-Pad is Poo Poo

I heard if you get felatio when using the D-pad it counts as the 'Toilet method'.

I like the fact they bought back the D-pad - the only reason I do though, is that it proves that they actually listen to what people want. That is a very good thing :DD
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

and people said it was pathetic to argue over long and short tape lol


does it really matter they added it so gamers who prefer that control scheme can now use it, it is in no way affecting the analog control... as it already had its limitations anyway as EA don't want to add 360 control!

Tape hardly affects the gameplay does it, this does
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

Do you guys think they've fixed so that more than one player can try to kick/head the ball? I don't know how many of you that play BAP or CYC but it's really annoying when you're trying to head the ball but you can't because the game has chosen another player to be the only one to try to head the ball. This results in that your player screams "shoot". This is very annoying at times because if you want to pass the ball it result in you telling you mate to pass the ball to you, which isn't what you wanted at all.

There shouldn't be a limit of who can try to head a ball. I actually think this worked well in PES if I'm remembering correctly.

Edit: uh oh!

"Although the game is extremely playable, addictive and enjoyable, I am slightly anxious of the overall gamespeed. Personally, the previous FIFA offered a gamespeed which was realistic but at times a little frustrating for an impatient gamer. In FIFA 09, everything looks as if it has been sped up; therefore distinguishing between different league styles is difficult. The legs of players appear to motor at an alarmingly rapid rate."

Is this a new preview? I hope they do implement that speed option, because this sounds a bit alarming.

I read somewhere in an interview that the speed will be between Fifa 08 and Euro 08. So I guess it will be good.
