FIFA 09 Adidas Live Season Video

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has just sent us this FIFA 09 Adidas Live Season Video.

"Adidas Live Season is a premium service for FIFA 09 PS3, Xbox 360 and PC that will update in-game player form each and every week. The service will run from the launch of the game to the end of the 08/09 season and is based on how real players performed in the most recent real-world matches. FIFA 09 will feel different every week throughout the entire season matching the weekly rhythm of soccer. Gamers will have access to one of the following leagues: Barclays Premier League, La Liga BBVA, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A and Mexican Primera Division."

Thanks for the video steve.

Looks good. I'm just hoping the ratings are balanced enough so that you don't have extremes such as can't hid the side of a barn on bad weeks or super unstoppable striker good weeks.

I think we may be disappointed. In the clip, you can see that Cannavaro dropped almost 20 points in one week. Please don't have it be that dramatic, EA!

I don't want to pile on EA Sports too much here - I do think they've been conscientiously trying to listen to the fans, innovate, and refine & improve their games. But... I'm a little peeved that even with the Adidas sponsorship, they still want to charge us for the service when applied to anything more than one league. Let's see how many MS points this is going to run

Re: FIFA 09 Adidas Live Season Video

I think this is a pretty sick idea.

I just want to know how many MS points it'll cost..

Re: FIFA 09 Adidas Live Season Video

Just saw the video, like the idea, but I'm also concerned how that point system will work? Hopefully it's not to much of a increase/decrease for each player.

If its subtle changes it may be ok but im guessing if Rooney gets a hatrick one week you better put 3 defenders man marking him in your next Fifa game cos hes probly going to get at least 3 anyway.
Hopefully they charge 10 bucks for each one so i will not be tempted to buy them.

The free one will be the Zimbabwe 3rd division not the prem

Did I hear it wrong or did they say you get to select the free league?

Re: FIFA 09 Adidas Live Season Video

I believe I read here in another thread you get to select your free league, and the others will cost you. I believe the Premiership could be your free league if you so choose.

That will be what I chose for mine, hopefully.

RIPOFF, I guess when your company is losing as much money as EA is desperate times require desperate measures. This is another gimmick and they want to charge NO WAY. I have been asking for money back from then because their servers are so unreliable. To ask us to pay for something that doesn't work 50% of the time take BIG BALLS. Until servers are working lots better I wouldn't even consider this.. At first I thought we where being punked but then I realized that we are dealing with GREED INC (EA SPORTS)

Re: FIFA 09 Adidas Live Season Video

my biggest concern is how this will itneract with manager mode. i would like to update the rosters at the first of the manager mode, but after that, i want the "virtual league" to have a life of its own. that is the fun of mm!

It will not effect MM at all, or so I read somewhere.

Your MM will run on its own, without any influence from the updates.

It has been confirmed that it won't work with MM.
