FIFA 09 offers a great new level of authenticity, with roaring crowds, great stadium atmosphere, and commentary, which have all been regionalized in precise detail. FIFA 09 has an additional 15 new stadiums. It features over 500 licensed teams, and 30 leagues which are accurately represented with correct kits and badges.
FIFA 09 includes the popular feature innovation, Be A Pro, which has now been expanded to include a career mode. This allows you to create your very own professional player, develop and improve his skills over a few seasons, and see if you can eventually build him up to be a national legend.
FIFA 09 lets you customize tactical settings so that CPU players and your team perform just like teams out there in the real world. You can adjust the positioning and support play of your teammates, deciding exactly how they will play in a variety of situations. You can save your tactics while still making strategic decisions as the game progresses.
With FIFA 09 players will now behave according to their particular physique, with the speed and weight of individual players being taken into account, and larger, stronger players imparting greater momentum to the ball and to other players. This will determine outcomes such as the distance of a slide tackle, and the power of a header.
Another impressive improvement that FIFA 09 has is that we can now determine the weather, and the time of day of play. The rain has an effect on how the players dress, such as whether they wear gloves, knee-length socks, and so on. It can be determined whether the games are played in daylight, at night or at dusk.
One of the great improvements of FIFA 09 is that the goalkeeper will be able to play with much greater skill, positioning himself more effectively, executing saves with better reactions, and getting back into gear much faster after a save has been made. With these better techniques we won’t be able to blame the software if we let a goal in.
The guys who have worked to bring FIFA 09 up to its present level have used the laws of physics, and techniques of mathematical modeling, to create a much improved game, with loads of enhancements to make the playing more authentic. This means more responsive first time shooting and passing, greater control when dribbling and trapping, and more authentic collisions.
