Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here

Just played 5 games on Pro level. Not sure I can add much that hasn't been said so far, but what really strikes me is the control is much crisper. The overall reaction times are so much better this year than last.

Headers are much better, not only due to the improved controls, but you don't have to stand right where the ball is going to win them either. And it's nice to finally have larger, stronger players have an advantage in heading also.

Fouls...hell yeah! I'd say they are mostly fixed. I've yet to feel cheated by the ref for a foul committed on me.

Also I've noticed the game using some cool animations when the situation is appropriate. I had a player take a shot in the box (with Milan, forgot the player's name) where instead of turning and shooting he made a neat little backheel shot. Last year that never happened for me.

One thing also...on PK's. Your keeper is controlled two ways. Right stick moves him left/right, and left stick is diving direction. It's not all on one stick like said earlier, you need to use both to move your guy in a direction.
