Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here

What I love about the game is the passing. I really feel that the last couple of years it has become possible to truly play a strong mid-field game. I love to play cat and mouse with my midfielders and drive the opponent nuts while I search for an openning. Not only can you do this effectively, but you are also punished when you are sloppy or try to do to much with weak midfielders (tried my strategy with Toronto and failed miserably...lol) I played 08 a little, but it wasn't enough to make me purchase it. I'm strongly considering 09 though.

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here

This demo really is a tease. Just when you start to get into it, time runs out. Because of this, you can't play as you normally would, as you're rushing everything, just trying to drill shots on net to get a goal before time expires.

From what I've experienced though, I like it. The only FIFA title I've purchased is 06 World Cup, which is fun, though somewhat arcadey because of the perfect passing, easy through balls, etc.

I like how passing is more unpredictable and punishing in this game. All in all, looking forward to it, but I will wait for reviews and credible user feedback before purchasing.

Having a blast with NCAA Football 09 and NHL 09, Madden 09 is collecting dust until the second patch, and if that doesn't improve the experience, it will be traded in, likely for FIFA 09.

Lots of good games this year, so little time to play them, unfortunately. Oh, and then there's NBA 2k9 coming out. ... I don't know how people find the time to play these games. It seems I spend half of my available playing time staring at the boxes and trying to decide which game to play.

The gfx of the game on PS3 at 1080p are horrible compared to the Xbox 360..now i want to buy it on PS3 as most of my friends have it on that console..but i cant, knowing the 360 version looks soo much better!!

Does anyone know if the gfx on PS3 will be improved for the Gold version?

Hard to say for sure, as the short halves makes it difficult to really feed anyone the ball more than a handful of times in a game. I will say that if I had to guess, I've scored more with him than anyone else. Mostly on regular shots though (time & space in the box equals excellent chance of scoring -- seems about right), as the new heading mechanics are much more timing based and I'm not the best "sticks" guy out there to say the least...

Love the demo compared to 2008, can actually make a goal now, sometimes. When does retail come out?

Ball shield control? Is this a RT move?

Hold sprint while your player is standing still. Works like a charm, unless you're Shaun Wright-Phillips...
