    Have you noticed how this site is amazingly limited by its name? Its kinda specific when the next one comes along you’re still gonna be called fifa 09 and that won’t be the game

  7. Antoine Roquentin Says:

    Why is it so late? October? WTF?

  8. Me Says:

    How is Fifa ‘09′ late, when it’s coming out in October ‘2008′??

  9. Jasper Says:

    thats cool its my birthday cnt waut.

  10. Sean Says:

    Its so late because its fifa 09 not fifa 08 so why would they release it half way through the year……………..

  11. nick Says:

    it is late because they have to wait until after the transfer window closes so then the teams will be finalized idiot

  12. KezZa Says:

    WTF. Your All Waiting For it to Come out in 2008, When it is Called FIFA 09 . Seriously just wait and see. Geeks.

  13. Scott Says:

    Well considering that Fifa 08 was released on 09/28/08 last year in the US, this can’t really be considered late. It is later than most sports games that come out, as they are usually out by the beginning of their seasons. I think it does have a lot to do with the summer transfers that are always going on right up to the start of the season.

  14. Scott Says:

    C’mon Kezza…. games aren’t labeled by the year they come out, they go by the year in which that “season” will end. That’s why all of the games that come out will have the next year in the title. Madden 09, Tiger Woods 09, NCAA Football 09, etc….

  15. ktkrk10 Says:

    hope ea brings the gameplay more realistic this time.

  16. david Says:

    fifa is always been release a couple months b4 the new yea, its the game 4 the whole season u idiot

  17. Nirmal Says:

    i would b gr8 if andy gray is still in the commentary box for 09….:):)

  18. JaM3$ Says:

    I know that they are waiting until the transfer window closes to finalize the teams, but it shouldn’t take them a month to do that since the transfer window closes at the end of AUGUST

  19. ross Says:

    fifa 08 came out in 2007 so fifa 09 will come out in 2008 thats the way its always been retard

  20. Arsenal_4_Life Says:

    Who is this retard above me?

    Don’t u know that that its made for the 08/09 season hence its called FIFA 09. Seriously man if u don’t no what your talking about don’t comment.

    Anyways I’m personnally hoping that the graphics on this new 1 are heaps better than the last ones

  21. jesus Says:

    yeah its fifa09 but we all know its for the 08/09 season so thats why people are complaining and dam right too. we’ve already seen that fifa 08 had 2 updates released after the tranfer windows so why not release a transfer updatefor fifa08 whilst we wait for fifa 09. its just stupid playing online with the teams as of sept07. they should keep on top of these things. after all the games costs us £40 and we pay a stupid £4.99 a month for xbox live so its not like we’re expecting something for nothing. the transfer windows shuts at the end of august. fifa 09 should be released a few days later as the game would already be developed and all it would be waiting on is the player database update. why does it take a month for this. and to think i came back from pro evo. its funny how you call the people asking why its a late release date geeks and idiots. wtf is the point in bringing out a game for half a season? all of you ‘idiots’ going on about it being fifa09 so its being released ‘early’ are just stupid. its called fifa 09 but its 08/09 season so it should be released at the start of the season. and it better be a bit faster and have a better online set up.

  22. jonathan Says:

    Hello ! bonjour je sui 1 francais de 10 ans et jadore fifa ,mais en france fifa 09 nest pa sorti je voudré qel comenter sur fifa 09 thank you !

  23. people are dumb Says:

    people are wondering because spl and epl leagues have already begun. the fact that the title happens to have ‘09 in it does not indicate that it should come out closer to the new year. for all of you who used that as your reasoning, you are officially an idiot

  24. shut up Says:

    the transfer window closes in september so shut up nick u idiot… and kezza it always comes ou de year b4 u retard

  25. escarta Says:

    KezZa if you are a fan of the series you would know that the new installment of every fifa series comes out a lil after the beginning of every football season therefore fifa 09 will cover the 08-09 football season and fifa 10 will cover the 09-10 season and so on.thats why we are waiting for it to come out in 2008.idiot

  26. mark Says:

    yo why aint fifa 09 realesed when the premiership starts? thats fukin stupid

  27. wazza Says:

    hope it does actually come out in 2008 cos im so exited!!! its one of the biggest games out!!

  28. Jon Says:

    Its called FIFA 09 because its the 08-09 season, If it came out in 2009 it would be midway through the season, so October is a little late, but yeah. They need to sort the late day transfers out

  29. Idiots Says:

    Its always been released the year before the title name… Its because the majority of the season is played in the second year of the season.

  30. Wesley Says:

    I heard that Fifa 09 is in stores 2nd October!

  31. Kev Says:

    i kno u stupids how is fifa 09 gona come out in august if the transfer window is still open u need 2 wait til all the clubs r finished u dnt want 2 have a game with half new players…stop bein stupid and if its 09 y would u want the game 2 come out at half way throught they year

  32. Gazza Says:

    It’s called Fifa 09 because Fifa 2008-2009 just doesn’t fit. The current season is the 2008-2009 season, and is referred to Season 09 because thats the year it ends.

    Fifa 09 needs to wait until the first transfer window has finished, so that the squads can be updated and finalised before it’s release. The January transfer window will probably be user controlled or updated via Fifa 09’s online abilities.

    I would assume that the actual seasons fixtures would be availible online, or pre-programmed into the game, and since it is released in October, only a small amount of games will be needed to be caught up on should you wish to play as your chosen team does.

    Been looking forward to this game for ages now, and will be getting my copy on the day of release!

  33. LOL Says:

    Wait and see how the real teams are dealing with the new season. Some good transfers and uefa champions league qualifications will decide which teams will be in form.

  34. Fred Says:

    The reason why it comes out so late is due to the worldwide transfer deadline that just ended. Then at the start of each season there are some new players in the teams that have came up from the academy. Those players needs to be created an their stats updated according to data from a couple of games. Also, the Champion’s league qualifying ended last week and the draw was also done only last week, so those teams needs to be added if they are not in, and their stadiums created.

  35. Fred Says:

    Furthermore there is a new feature where players are updated weekly according to their form in the past week, so if someone did poorly that week, he’s stats will drop in game. These stats needs to be realistic to start with, thus needing more games played, though this is not the season for the delay. The transfers and new players are the main reasons, as well as some bugs picked up during finalization of the game.

  36. Baggies Lad Says:

    Everbody who has said fifa 09 hasn’t been released because of late transfers etc.. you are correct. For example, Robinho just moved to Manchester City FC. Would this have been on the game if it had been released earlier? I’m not saying we couldn’t of fixed that ourselves, but i’m sure E.A don’t want us to have to be messing around with transfers, as after all it’s their job not ours. =)

  37. u is all thick Says:

    they release the game late because if they release at the beginning of the season they will be players playing for the wrong teams u dumb asses so shut up u computer geeks and be more athletic i bet u r all fat aswel cuz most of u just sit on your computers and hope the graphics are good for ps3 and xbox 360 and wii

  38. Al Says:

    released on a friday instead of a tuesday, i don’t believe it

  39. miki Says:

  41. Geek Says:

    Would rather they took the time and got it right,tho the longer i wait the higher my expectations become.Tempted to buy a football in the meantime….

  42. michael Says:

    Be A Pro is very poor in fifa 08. I like the fact that you team up with others online but the gameplay of be a pro sucks. I hope they improve that in 09.

  43. josue Says:

    Everton Fan

  45. Taras Says:

    I’ve played a Fifa 09 demo and its what everybody expected. Graphics is better. Movement of the players become much more realistic and a 3D mode is the only reason why shoud u try this game

  46. DABALLA13 Says:

    i love that game !! the only bad thing is all those quitters online. if you play online you know what im talking about they should make it so if they quit they forfeit the match and you get your rank.

  47. badboyjoey22 Says:

    on the demo, robinho is still at real madrid, and a lot of people hate that, so they are gonna sort it all out or the game wud jst be a waste of time, especially if amr zaki isnt on it

  48. Shz_Rooney Says:

  49. bob Says:

FIFA U BETTTER HAVE THE NEW KIT!

  53. cHaPpY Says:

    Who cares about the date all we want is the game to come out with the appropriate teams(when the transfer window is closed)and they need a couple of months 2 perfect the game/gameplay so give them a break man…..chill out!

  54. Percy Says:

    Its always this late coming out!! It means Fifa might actually have a chance of Bettering Pro Evolution this time round, not sure about that though, Ill have to wait and see which ones best, Rumour has it is that Fifa is the one to watch

  55. nerd Says:

  63. reptile skin Says:

    robinho still at real madrid on the demo hope hes at man city on the full game version also berbatov aint on the man u team either wtf??? *** 3 stars

  64. Josh Says:

    fifa has to be released after the transfer window has closed. If they release it too early the players who have moved teams may not be rated correctly. And then its too late.

  65. what is fifa? Says:
