Fifa 09

Fifa 09

Pitch action for FIFA 09 is generally fun to play. Player graphics is impressive and facial art resembles real life players, coming a long way since the old days. It is amazing how we can hold such a small gaming device in our hands and yet, it is capable of out-performing the 3D graphics of a first-generation Pentium system. Movements of the players are fluid but realistic, emulating actions such as shoulder checks, change in body momentum and player collisions.

One problem of the old FIFA releases was that the players seem to be skating rather than running. For example, players in FIFA 96 appear more to be chasing a puck in an ice hockey game rather than sprinting after a ball on a grass pitch. Thankfully, this has now been fixed. Footwork is also more aligned to the real world compared to the old series. As an example, it is important point to shield your body against defenders while receiving passes, which is reflected in FIFA 09. It will even be more effective to make a backward run at the same time, pre-empting against defenders from cutting into the ball’s path. Those who play real football games will attest to the realism in this area.
