that tackle for the free kick was immense. take that ronaldo!!!! Looked so amazing. Game looks so smooth.
all i have to say is, check the Euro2008 compilation vid below it and compare. it's like night and day. TONNES of new animations. fluid as butter and the game looks like a lot more fun to play (responsiveness). i cannot wait.
that ronaldo free kick is simply stunning.
Yes, collisions and tackles looks beautiful but I'm a bit concerned he (Agger?) didn't get a red or at least a yellow... Don't want that be a standard play to stop an attack online
I think what I like is a slow paced simulation of football, rather than a ping-pong, pinball machine arcade version of football like PES, that to me is boring. I have had plenty of fast, dynamic, end to end matches in Fifa08. I think perhaps some people are just too used to overly fast arcade games and can't adjust to a more simulated experience, that's ok, not everyone is the same
As for manual passing, do u feel that player attributes still come in to play at all or is it strictly the direction you press on the controller + power? One of the problems with fifa already is player att's not mattering as much as they should does this not take away from it even further? I've always used a mix of semi auto and auto and that has been good for me so far

Tbh I don't know why you keep referring to PES as an arcady game. Only because PES 2008 was stupidly wrong? PES was always the football simulation game mate. Thing is you keep saying "PES" instead of "PES 2008". You're generalizing by saying all PES games play a ping-pong arcade game of football
Overall FIFA 09 sounds great so far right? well as EA do theirs a problem, I wasnt at all impressed with the Response times, It feels exactly the same as Euro and for me that just isnt good enough, you still struggle to pull of one touch passing moves like the Arse, you have to wait a split second before Scholes attempts to smash one in from the edge of the box, The game felt so good and i cant believe EA havnt addressed this!
YES I HAVE PLAYED THE GAME TODAY AT I34!
Yep folks today I played the game for the first time, I played the same build as Adam did and my opinion is pretty different to his. So without further to do let me get on with it
My first impression was wasnt that good as I started watching People play it and i didnt see much improvement and as Suff said and as I have seen from a lot of you it really is a totally different thing from watching and playing.
When i first got hold of the controller and the game started I felt the pace of the game to be perfect, they really have nailed it with the default speed IMO(Faster than 08/Slower than Euro). The second thing was the game felt VERY different to me compared to what i was watching before, The players and the ball have weight and when you recieve a pass or run with and try and turn etc this has IMO been improvement greatly. The other big improvement was the ball is ALOT more free, something which really stands out and makes the game feel less robotic and more like your watching a real match rather than the ball being glued to a players foot.
The Passing felt Improvement in certain situations but also felt like in some instances it had gone back, When you pass it can zip across the surface and you also "feel" it more when your player recieves it(adding to the weight). I was playing on "Semi" Passing and it didnt feel as accurate as 08 on "Semi", maybe this was just me as i have moved to Manual recently on 08(1 month) but there was a few situations where the pass went to the wrong player which can be very fustrating but this is something which wont be a problem for Manual players unless this means they have reduced the how free Semi and Manual are a tad bit.
The Shooting i feel was one of the big improvements for me, when you smack it it really is smacked IMO now, this is probably due to the weight being improved aswell, they have improved one on ones alot as it simply isnt as easy as it was before to just score but also it is now pretty much vital you shoot with "Finesse shot" when through on goal, Shooting as a whole is much harder even when there was a empty net you would need to steady yourself to tap it in otherwise there was a chance you would miss the target. I think i hit the post around 5 or 6 times when one on one which shows its become more difficult.
The Skill felt the same as 08 yet they have added more some new skill moves, it isnt as easy as Euro and pretty identical to 08 other than the new skill moves.
The Tackling has been improved massively from the games i played, You now in PES5 with "conservative tackle" you would need to poke at the right times now it feels like that which is good but "Slide tackling" stole the show on tacking as they are now just amazing (along with the collision system which it involves) they have them IMO spot on now. The collision system has already been hyped/praised so im not going to bother other than saying it really is that good.
The Ref can be slightly leniant or strict there didnt seem to be a consistent of one but there is no way you can hack someone down like 08 and not get a red.
The Goalkeepers IMO where along with Shooting and Tackling the biggest improvement, they were IMO perfectly balanced, they reacted properly to the situation, remember when Euro gameplay vids were coming out and Ronaldo had a shot from just outside the box and the Keeper caught it like it was a back pass? well from around 10 or 11 games I played that NEVER happenend and i wasnt pissed at the keeper once.

FIFA 09 so far is looking like a Great game but i think with all these improvements if they dont sort out the Responce times then alot of people including myself wont be happy, but if they can sort that out with 10% or whatever to go then it will be a amazing game.
Sorry,but you and a lot of Fifa fans says that Pes is arcade game but it is not true.

If I can do one touch passing moves with Sheffield Wednesday in Fifa08 I am certain that people can do one touch passing moves with Arsenal players in Fifa09........
Current gen does not exist for me, I have no interest in it anymore, therefore any comparisons I make between PES and Fifa are comparing the 360 versions of each.
You can to some degree but thats when you press "pass" before the ball has even reached the player so that he makes the command, instead if you press it when its about to reach him he takes a touch instead of hitting it first time.
