Therizings Community Day Impression (so far)

[Qb]

vgsportsBert, would I be correct in assuming that you were at the EA Canada studio as well? If so, glad to have you aboard to help satisfy our insatiable thirst for FIFA knowledge...

Thanks everyone for this GP news, they all sound fantastic. I'm not gonna repeat anything but express my worries on 2 things.
First is the speed of the game. It is too fast so I'm glad to hear it can be changeable but the online modes are my biggest worry with this as I think speed of Fifa 08 and GP of Fifa 09 would be perfect.

Next thing is the trick system. Yes, the players use them in real football but not that much and I wouldn't want to become a football match filled with useful tricks of passing defenders and just randomly going for the analog to pull out some stunts.

I was PRO EVO fan for 10 years and Fifa 08 is the 1st Fifa I've bought and I haven't regret it. I've played over 1400 games online, and will deff. buy this one as Fifa 08 for me was a great football simulation and still is.

New GP additions and improvements are amazing and I can't wait for demo to come out.

Lot of my friends bought PRO EVO 2008, sold it and bought Fifa. I was trying to convince them all at the beginning to buy Fifa, well, they are all coming to senses now. There is no room for fanboyizm in this world. Buy the best and now Fifa is the best, and it will be for many years to come imo.

Just don't fall into a trap like PRO EVO. Remember, they were always adding more and more responsiveness until it became too fast and too arcade. They lost lot of fans and lot of trust. You lead the game now and you have 65% of
the possession. Don't give out an autogoal but don't keep the lead also, score some more goals

have you played any weather games?

I don't think so. Instead, look at NHL09's Be A Pro-like team/league thing. I'd be willing to bet that's what it is. We already know that 10v10 is in the game, add a Sports MMO with the FIFA Be A Pro mode carried over to online to that.

Both would be great, but I'm with Bahnzo on this. I think it'll be like NHL 09's complete with promotion/relegation. OS SC anyone? (Yeah, S for soccer) We can finally show these euros we do know s-o-c-c-e-r.

Hope there's still more news to come and some answers for our MM ?'s.

That's excellent to hear that you showed them. I'm not even specifically referring to fatigue though, I'm talking about how a team can make a big signing in MM on the transfer market and not even put the guy into their lineup despite him being superior player than who they already have at the position.

I don't think a lot of us are necessarily clamoring for a complete overhaul of MM mode, it would just be nice if the cpu altered their lineup, and even nicer if fatigue was better implemented. But I would certainly not be unhappy with just the first thing I mentioned.

Maybe I should have tried to go... you lost 3-0 to Spurs?! If everything else wasn't impressive, I'd be mad at you.

Thanks for the great impressions.

5-1 we did in real life what is so impossible.
Great stuff this thing is all over the net on forums for Fifa fans and I thank you for your efforts.
