Fifa 09

Just downloaded the FIFA 09 demo for the PS3. There are 6 playable teams, one each from the bigger leagues. Glad to see that AC Milan is the Serie A representative. The other teams in the demo are Chelsea, Madrid, Schalke, Marseille, and FC Toronto. Anyway, here are the ratings for our players and the default lineup.

Starters:
Abbiatti 79
Zambrotta 83
Nesta 87
Kaladze 82
Janku 80
Flamini 82
Pirlo 87
Ambro 82
Kaka 89
Dinho 87
Borriello 80


Substitutes:
Kalac 75
Seedorf 84
Bonera 80
Gattuso 81
Pato 81
Maldini 77
Inzaghi 81

Reserves:
Dida 76
Emerson 77
Oddo 79
Brocchi 76
Antonini 73
Favalli 75
Paloschi 73
Simic 74
Digao 68
Cardaccio 58
Viudez 58
Darmian 60

Obviously the roster is outdated as we still show Oddo, Simic, Brocchi, Digao and Palo on our team. No Senderos or Sheva (Sheva is rated 80 on Chelsea's roster).

I'm not sure how I feel about the gameplay. It's a little spastic and "Arcade-ish". It doesn't have that realistic feel that Fifa 08 had. But still I can't wait to play the full version later this month.

I never liked FIFA. PES is my world. Can't wait for PES 2009 to come out in October.

Is there a demo maybe for it out there? What did you use to dl it? torrent?

there is a Demo for FIFA09.. on the ea site i guess

I, once again, am disappointed with EA's development team for FIFA...
Konami by far have the gameplay+Graphics(imo) advantage over EA, its only the license they lack...

and btw, PES09 demo should be out in couple of weeks i think..

ah and also, on the PC version, Sheva is with Milan, but Oddo and Brocchi are still there aswell:/

should be fixed by the release of the Full Version

Official trailer for Pes 2009: http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/p...1?tag=;title;1

The new thing is that they have bought the rights for UEFA Champions League and rights for some clubs including Man.Utd. and Liverpool...

The game will be available 16/17 of October for those interested....

I agree with you Ace about the gameplay but must admit, i was surprised with the graphic detail in FIFA but, again, gameplay is everything...

Chelsea's players weren't ranked much higher if it makes you feel better. Milan overall are ranked 83 in Attack, 83 in Midfield and 82 in Defense. Meanwhile Chelsea is ranked 83 in Attack, 84 in Midfield and 83 in Defense.

How is that comforting? Are you satisfied to be just 'marginally below' Chelsea. Anyway given the adulterated expectations of many on this forum I can't say that I'm surprised. But there was a time when we DID have the best midfield and defense in Europe silly me for thinking we could be better than Chel$ki...I mean we did clean their gutter for them

i heard there's some secrets in the game. If you pause the game during a match and press square, triangle, triangle, start, R1, L1, L2, R2, circle, cross, cross, circle, triangle, square, square (PS3 version), when you unpause it your club gets bought out by a random billionaire.

yeah but when you do that you get fired because the owner wants a big name coach too

I have the UEFA Champions League on 360, and it is only the CL series. I wish they would have it combined with the individual leagues (Premiere's League, Seria A, La Liga, etc.) combined with the Champions League series. That way I could play it like how it is set up in real life. I don't know, maybe it's just here in America that we don't get the good games.

I used to have the FIFA on my PS2, but I don't play PS2 anymore.

Why do you have to act like such a cranky fart? Being satisfied with being marginally below Chelsea is ok in a year where Chelsea made it to the CL final while Milan finished 5th in serie A. If you want a year where Milan has a great team, then go buy fifa 05.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. FIFA always overrated English teams/ players. The year we won the CL they gave Seedorf 79 and put Kaka's ratings below CR7. They gave Rooney a 91 and our Ronaldo 84 OBVIOUSLY now that two english teams made it to the CL they are going crazy with the ratings.


Oh and YOU could be satisfied with any crap that management throws at you forgive me while I keep some standards.

You're right, I guess I don't know what I'm talking about. Sounds like you really keep up on Fifa ratings. Me? I have a life.

having to edit players to get right speeds(sprint) and shot power/accuracy is not ok...

and if he remembers(maybe he checked it ? ) doesnt mean his a nerd like you implied...

Please Note I am not defending anyone!
