FIFA 09 PS3/360 Discussion Thread

Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

I did not press any additional button to add the curl. It was context sensitive as I was not facing the direction I passed the ball he uses the outside of the foot.

we need need to compile a list of ps3 and 360 teams to represent evo web. how ironic. where in a PES forum and most of are trying to organise a BAP team for fifa :LOL:
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

count me in for the PS3 team!!!

that presentation video was great. Loved the outside of the boot pass down the line. The stretching from defenders to reach the ball before the strikers bang it in. Only thing that i thing is naff is those FIFA09 ads that are supposed to look 3d besides the goals. Think they look shit on tv never mind on a computer game. Take them out please EA. Other than that this game is going to blow Evo out of the water. Live season sounds promising and hope it works well. Great idea.
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Yeah those adverts look poor. Hopefully they will only be from time to time in certain stadiums, as really I would want them out full-stop but can't see that happening.

The first thing the guy says is 'we absolutely listen to what our gamers tell us' - what he fails to say is 'we choose to then ignore most of that for example savable replays and do what we want'

But holy moly.. at the 4:00 mark did i just see what i thought i saw? No not a puddy tat but the player passed the ball and then pointed ahead of himself asking for a pass back :WORSHIP:

I love the 'effort' as they say in the game - things like that really do bring the game out of the robotic AI days and make you feel like you're controlling real life players who are really giving it their all... instead of watching a pass roll past them and jogging after it.

The grass looks lovely on the ashley cole slide tackle

Lay off for free kicks is a god send - long over due as well.

The custom tactics is very nice - i wonder if that will break the way poorer teams can play as well as higher level teams - so you'll be able to pick apart the opposing teams weaknesses by pressuring them if they have a dodgy back 4 or hanging back if they have bad pace so you can counter them.

The 10 vs 10 looks a bit of a mess when the cross comes in as 4 players all run at the ball to score - why didn't any of them hang back on the edge of the box for a follow up or move to the back post just in case the cross went past everyone?

That was announced AAAAAGES ago mate! :LOL: It was in the very first vids we saw ;))

Incidently, when I played 5v5, I used to loiter around the edge of the box waiting for the ball to be knocked out :))

And therein lies one of the main gameplay issues with 10v10 (and 5v5).

That's why I still think 2v2 is the best of all modes as you can develop an understanding with your one team-mate. Also, because one of you has played the cross/pass into the box, you're generally anticipating your team-mate being on the end of it so are not inclined to go for the same ball.

Perhaps if 10v10 teams get into the habit of playing together regularly, they'll develop a bit more of an understanding and play properly.

But 10v10 random people will often decend into primary school football with 20 people chasing after the ball.

Ah.. ive been keeping out of this thread to avoid any of the rumours that ill get hyped about and then find out are lies.
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

now that where organising our BAP teams, jack bauer are you going to organise our traditional 1v1 online leagues :P make one for the ps3 too :)
 
Re: FIFA 09 - Discussion Thread

Holy shit that video was fucking awesome

From the urgency of the players to the stretching to block/tackle and keep the ball in, outside of the foot passing and shooting look brilliant as do the collisions, 1 touch passing and shooting as well as the sliders that look like they are gonna add a whole new realistic dimension to the game

I have never seen such an impressive video

It all depends on who you play with, there is no point at all in playing with randoms in this mode unless your lucky enough to find a team full of players that play it properly then you add them to your friends list for the future :))

If we get a team off here it will just be like real life with players sticking to there positions, tracking back ect ect and getting a bollocking if they don't :LOL:

Honestly without patting myself on the back - i am one of the most unselfish players on fifa you will come across. If im 1 vs 1 with the keeper i would 9/10 times go wide and drag the keeper out and then pass to someone for an open net tap in than risk a shot and get nothing. I'll also hang back on corners on the edge of the box or on the far wing in case the ball zips past everyone and if i was in the box with a ball coming at me id try to knock the ball down with a passed header for someone to get a follow up shot than try and press shoot and header it at the goals.

Does anyone else hate getting 1 v 1 with the keepers or is that just me? For some reason i just can't stand getting 1 v 1.. if im losing 1-0 and have to score then ill take the chance and shoot but if im at 0-0 or im winning then i just cant stomach 1v1. I'd always prefer to set up a goal than score a goal. I must be mad.

I've always enjoyed getting good crosses in, putting in a good through-ball or knocking a header down. Assisting is just as good as scoring for me as a lot of the time the finish is a lot easier than the assist was :))

You remind me of myself I prefer to make plays than to score I find it more satisfying whipping in the perfect pass or throughball
