What build is the demo? I'm sure we will see some differences in the final version.

WOW.. the graphics... just... WOW.
This may be the best looking sports game ever, seriously.
Smooth animations, beautiful player models and stadiums... absolutely incredible.
I already loved FIFA's gameplay, and that seems very improved as well.
This is going to be a great year.Comment

I don't like the curve on the free kicks.
It's ridiculous how it moves about 10 feet just as it's approaching the goal.Blind to this impending fate

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.Steam: BahnzoComment

Can anyone tell me if there's a broadcast cam in the game? Thanks.Comment

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here
Well, you certainly can not tackle like last year, because you will rightfully be given cards on horrible tackles.
In two games, I've seen five yellows and one straight red. The straight red was great, I went in for a tackle, and in stead of the sweeping motion you see with some sliding tackles in the game, this was straight in, studs showing. This made me happy to see.
Other things, hitting the woodwork gives you a much better sound this year. Also, the replays are just perfect, especially going back and showing replays of cards.Last edited by Krebstar; 09-11-2008, 06:40 PM.Comment

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here
I just downloaded the demo on PSN and I think it's pretty good. I like how they've given you more control over your player and the responsiveness has been touched on. Responsiveness of players was really my biggest itch in last year's, so it's good to see an improvement in that category.Comment

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here
Love the way this is looking now. Players are responsive now and the AI is not too bad like in 08. I love the clearance by the cpu players and finally the reverse game feels great due to the responsive players enough to allow for true play instead of just pushing forward all the time. Shooting feels much better as well with more control.Comment

Can anyone give their insight on the best way to utilize the finesse shot button?Comment

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here
I really love this demo. The first thing that jumps out at you is the responsiveness.
I was playing as Real Madrid and received a pass with Ruud in the middle of the pitch. I turned and did a through pass down the wing. My winger ran after it with the defender coming towards the ball from the opposite direction. I got to the ball first, took control of it and cut back inside...all in one motion. The defender was spun around and I charged into the box where I laid a pass off to Raul who attempted a back heel that was saved by the goalie. I had to applaud the effort and run made by my players. It was awesome.Last edited by Blaxican8504; 09-11-2008, 08:13 PM.Comment

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here
All I have to say is that there was just a handball, or at least that is the only reasonable explanation I could think of, and a yellow card was given. A cross by Jankulovski hit of Bordon's chest and then his arm. Wow.
This is awesome.

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here
I like the demo, but man it is way too fast, and no longer smooth like 08. I understand they needed to make it more responsive, but cutting out frames of an animation isnt the way to do it. It just seems too much like they are going they way PES with ultra fast gameplay to get responsiveness."Basketball may have been born in Massachusetts, but it grew up in Indiana." - James NaismithComment

Re: FIFA 09 Demo Available, Impressions Here
that is the same way i feel forensicd it is way to fast and even if you put slow on the settings it doesnt really make a difference they also took away the Lt+Rt function when you have the ball i used it alot in 08 to setup playsComment
