This is Football at its best!!!
This is the question I'm sure every Fifa Fan asks every year. I know I did. So when this year rolled round and I heard all the talk about improved this and that I found myself wondering whether to believe it or not.
So now the moment of truth. The answer to the question is............yes.
They have got it right. I have always been a Fifa fan but always found that Pro Evo has been the better game to play. However now I have to change my mind on that stance. Fifa's gameplay is a much improved aspect to the game. And why shouldn't it be? That's the reason we buy the games!
The Engine has been improved upon from last year and whilst it may look near enough identical to the last. You only know that it's better when you play it and see and feel it for yourself. The way you play has changed passing, lobbing, through balls and shooting are now all operated by a power bar. This is a welcome addition because now you feel in complete control of what happens on the pitch.
The presentation is second to none as usual and the sfx is brilliant right from the crowd to the commentary. As is the soundtrack which again EA Sports have shelled out quite a bit to have some truly great Bands on the card.
So if you want the complete package this season, then Fifa 09 has to be your choice. You won't be disappointed with it. It's a challenge and the AI is a tough opponent to beat yet now with you in complete control of everything when you pull off a great passing move and finish it off with a cool cheeky strike, you feel a sense of a great accomplishment.
That's what this game is a Great Accomplishment. There's still something they could do to improve as every game could. But for now this is the best and we have a year till it gets better!!!!
Enjoy
