As soon as the play was over, the referee came back to my player and handed him a yellow card for his dirty attempt at taking the player down seconds earlier. When I saw the yellow card, I immediately remembered what it was for. I had actually forgotten the whole ordeal.

Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

You know, now we hear they have worked pretty much on the atmosphere too. Is it just me or does it seem to be a lot of updates in this version? I guess I'm used to how slowly PES moved forward (or backward maybe). This game has so much potential.

Edit: I remember when a new PES was going to come and they had pretty much only added "smoke" from the players mouths when it was cold weather. That and maybe two more things was the updates they bragged about... crazy.

Just to let you guys know...the online updater 'revolutionary' feature is a little more advanced than some of you think. Yes, it will include roster updates. Yes, it will include stats updates. However, It also includes new behavioral tendencies in terms of positioning, strategy, and instincts. For example, depending on Fabregas' shot on target % in his last match, the number of shots he will hit 'on target' (with the AI playing obviously) will mirror that figure MORE OR LESS. With the human playing, depending on whether that will be a good % or a bad %, it will simply become easier or more difficult to hit shots on target. This applies to many more situations and stats.

For example, in NBA Live 09 it looks at the players' tendency to cut inside, execute pick and roll (whatever that is..basketball:brick:) etc. Im sure we'll hear more about it soon.

Thanks for the translation.

Sounds fantastic. I liked the bit about the stadium atmosphere. I hope he wasn't exaggerating it.
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

the sliding and collision stuff sound brilliant as does the reactions

The first time shooting and passing also received an impressive improvement. Now you won’t be frustrated when the ball falls into your path from a cross, corner, or rebound and you try desperately with futility to bang it first time as the player takes an eternity to execute it. This time if you want to bang it first-time considering that the ball is near you, you will be able to do so. Even if the ball is not quite within reach for a perfect one-timer, your player will still try to get a shot off on goal by sliding into the ball or dive for a header if need be depending on the situation. The same will apply with passes and loose balls.

One ... probably useless thing i want is for the players ON THE PITCH to be a little more animated - pointing ahead of themselves asking for passes or waving or putting their hands on their head or hips if the cock up an easy chance or if they're annoyed with you for being greedy.

It always ruins the immersion i get when i take a shot and see my player walk off as if it was nothing and then see a cut scene of him dropping to his knees next to the goals - when he had just shot from the edge of the box and ran off.

That and an animated crowd that jumps when you shoot etc...

yep, I was asking for the same in other threads. This is one of few things that are well done in PES
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

You may not believe this, but I actually had a dream where I was at a FIFA09 presentation last night.

A developer was there talking about the game, and I asked him if they had fixed that stupid bug where, for ex, when you're attacking and after a corner a defender clears the ball, you can't switch your player.

He looked at me in silence and just shaked his head in disappointment.

Hope my dream does not become reality... :lol:
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

I don't think I like the idea of this roster daily update malarky.

I'm happy with updates after a transfer window etc

I don't think it is needed - so much more they have to do before this sort of stuff.

So If Arsenal Play Crap one week - then they will be crap in the game? and stats will be reduced acordingly?

I won't like that....No No Bobby won't like that.

In situations of one-on-one with the GK, many improvements have also been made in the keeper’s reaction and agility. First thing I want to note is that the soft grounders that always ended up in the goal on one-on-one situations against the GK as was the case in FIFA08 are practically impossible to accomplish this time around. The only possible solution would be to use some creativity to get past the GK. On one play as I faced the keeper I decided to maneuver around him as he went the other way, however he suddenly managed to extend his right leg just enough to cause me to lose control of the ball. The second time around his right leg didn’t touch my legs with enough strength to cause me to lose control which resulted in me keeping my composure for a score. On a third time around his right leg did touch the ball and deflected it with enough strength to push it to the side for a corner kick leaving me with no possibility to recover it for a score.

Never had much of a problem with the 1 on 1's I just hope they have not made them too hard...

This if true is great news, so sick of hitting shoot only for your player to take two touches before doing anything... :applaud:
 
Re: FIFA 09 Discussion Thread

I think it is a great idea, the problem with sport games where you play 100s of games is to avoid the feeling of repetition, this is gonna make the game feel fresh and new for a long time.
