FIFA 09 Producer Interview: Dave Rutter

[thataussieguy]

Any chance of a creation centre similar to pro evos for creating teams , editing strips and boots creating player/editing players, i know fifa does have some of these but not on the level as pro evo does?

any practice mode where actual drills are being run and ur created player can actually benefit from it sorta like fight night style how after each training sessions your stats increase then come to game day if your player scores a few they would raise again

Add some passion to the derbies like aggression levels rise and speed and the crowd are alot louder then normal games.......same for cup finals and have the crowd colours split so if you were to play liverpool vs everton at anfield you would see the players going out to a sea of red in the crowd and vice versa?

Strange, huh? I'm the same way. Maybe next year it'll be level across the board. The sad thing is I can't remember how long it's been that I'm actually waiting for the newest EA Sports games. They really are getting it together. Maybe they aren't the Devil, after all.

Yeah I'm really impressed with the efforts of the FIFA and NHL brand by the guys in Vancouver over the last few years and it seems to have become an example for the work going on down at Tiburon. Overall, fun times ahead, I do think that the football games are still behind NHL and FIFA at this time, so I can't wait to see which one of those two ends up being my crown jewel this year.

i hope they simplify the skill moves or gives us an option to make them easier to execute...kinda like pes. i only want the basic stuff and maybe guys like ronaldhino, ronaldo, ibrahimovic etc. can be able to pull off the more difficult stuff. people can still use the l2+ right stick, but give people the option to maybe map what moves we want to do solely with the rstick or have all the moves on one button like pes.

as it is right now, i barely use any of the moves, maybe 2-3 of them max.

I already know what my gaming drug will be this year. The sad thing is, like you said before, both football titles will become expensive coasters come Oct. Oh well, I'll dust them off during the playoffs and bowl seasons. Hopefully......

Re: FIFA 09 Producer Interview: Dave Rutter

They added 15 more stadiums this year. Not really sure which ones as of yet.

But there was not many stadiums in PS3 and Xbox360 versions.
I realy want all stadiums in sll the biggest leagues.
England, Spain, Italy and Germany.

Santiago Bernabeu belongs to PES so that's one you won't see in Fifa.

I agree with you. I had read at some point that they are always trying to add additional stadiums, but it takes roughly a month on each one. Whether or not that is true, I have no idea. I have a feeling that even if we got more of the best-known stadiums they would probably be EPL stadia. The main focus of the game has been toward that league. It really doesn't bother me as my favorite squad is The Red Devils, but I would like for them to add some MLS venues. How hard could it be to get the stadium data for Gillette, RFK, and Soldier Field. Add the Home Depot Center from scratch and an American-style generic venue and you'd have a nice little set for MLS. As to Germany, you could rip some venues out of the WC title and give them a pass-over with the new textures and voila! Done. Like I said before, maybe it is harder than it seems it should be. I had a thought though, maybe the same team for stadiums is also responsible for faces and kits. I'd almost definitely have those correct and play in Stadium des Artes some more.....

I thought PES lost SPL. Wouldn't they then lose the rights to the Bernabeu?

Re: FIFA 09 Producer Interview: Dave Rutter

^^later in the thread someone links to the La Liga page. There it says, that for now, only EA has the license, which does not necessarily mean exclusive.
And there is another rumour, discussed here and here: It could be, that Konami licensed the Champions League, so all participating teams would be in the game.
