New to FIFA - FIFA 10 or 09

[Broth32]

The World Cup has increased my interest of soccer to "watchable" now

I'm looking to get a FIFA game and it sounds like I have three options. WC, 09, and 10. 09 is my cheapest option at Gamestop ($18). I'm wondering if I'll be missing a lot on graphics/gameplay if I would pass on 10 and get 09.

Does 09 have a World Cup option to play?

Again, I have never played a soccer game before so they'll both be new to me.

Thanks for any input.

It depends if you just want a game for the WC just shell out the money for WC10, if you want a game to maybe perk your interest in soccer buy FIFA 09, if you play on buying FIFA 11 I say buy FIFA 09 as well, if rosters really matter to you and you want to do a manager mode then FIFA 10.

It just depends what exactly you are interested in.

I'd buy WC10. It will get you into the game, and then when FIFA 11 comes out, you will know enough about the star players to appreciate the clubs more.

Plus it is the newest and best playing version of the series so far.
