FIFA 09 PS3/360 Discussion Thread

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

it's PS3 and the nets are crap.
ball has too much power, when leaving the net. It's like the nets are made of gum
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

We Love Sweetkilla!!!!!

I want to have his babies - There I said it first, I've got dibs on his babies - YEE HAA!!!!
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

The nets look fine to me. In real life, not all nets are the same...not all nets are like Football Kingdom.

A bit disappointing that there's still that delay between the goal being scored and the crowd cheering.

Also, would be nice to have a better roar, like the "Gooooaaal!" cheer from Spanish and Portguese crowds.

The FIFA cheers still sound a bit like videos of Wembley crowds in the 1960s, a polite cheer, not enough venom. I almost expect to hear someone shout "Bravo. Good goal, old chap!"
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

oh damn PS3 ?? so the pc version nets are going to be crap again I guess :(

I gather that graphically, the PC is roughly the same as XBox and PS3, although the gameplay and feel are probably closer to PS2. At a guess.

From the little I have seen, it does look pretty good... hoping we will get more footage soon though.

Video 8 - wtf are the 2 centre-backs doing? It's as if neither of them are aware a striker is clean through on goal between them and they stick to their positions as they jog back, rather than urgently chasing down the striker. The left sided CB in particular. And EA are using these vids to show off how great their game is?
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

sweetkilla,

if you get a chance can you try saving a replay from the pause menu and see if you have the option of saving to disk?

Cheers
Shooto
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

boo-yah. watch your back seabass! :-pp

I still can't comprehend why EA and Konami spend x amount of time creating these supposedly fantastic, inch-perfect 3D models of the stadiums and then dump the same generic goals on every pitch.

You can recognise most grounds almost instantly purely from the look of the nets. I'm sure there was a crappy game on the Dreamcast that featured varying styles of nets...
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Hey SweetKilla, the build i played had the same response times as Euro08, have they been improved or are they the same? Also I had the same issue as you when players were missing sitters but i found this was fixed if you used a finness shot instead :))

Keep enjoying the game mate as I think its definetly the best football game thats been made to date!

Looks to me like the player controlling them switched to the right CB first and ran him in the wrong direction, then it switched to the left and he did the same thing. Some of the players have been pretty rubbish so far i wouldn't take to much stock in that :)

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

the PC version looks awful.
In the chelsea manchester HD video on jeuxvideo (360/PS3), tevez does a deliberate outside of the foot shot at the start with reverse curl!

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Looks like if you're a PC gamer you have no other choice but to stick with PES, which is quite a shame. Why EA didn't bother to make the PC version on par with the consoles version I have no idea, all they did was up the gfx and add a few different controlling methods.
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Graphically, the PC version sucks so so much.

PLAYER MODELS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE ONES IN FIFA 08.
Except for the lightning and the somehow better textures (although the kits remain glued to the model). Hell, they still have that horrible gap between the legs, like they were GI JOE toys. And their horrible big heads are still there to remind us EA doesn't care about PC.
3d grass is another joke. I bet it won't be noticed in the standart camera views.

I wonder... would it be possible to play this game under a PS3 emulator or something like that?

Although the Konami saga continues having the same gameplay logic as their first Playstation 1 games (in terms of gameplay architecture, the game has been playing absolutely the same since then), konami may at least give us the same product they are releasing for xbox and ps3. It will be boring, yes. But we'll be sure they tried the best they could.

You kidding? There is no such thing as a PS3 emu lol. You would need a a monster of a computer to run a PS3 emu, & it would still suck.

EA should learn from Rockstar, they're making GTA4 PC the better version, yeah it's late but I sure wouldn't mind waiting.

Yeah, that's the only thing I can hand to Konami. For how long EA will be doing this I don't know. They said they've been listening to the PC community, and this is the result?
