The real world players are featured and those who are recognizable on the pitch are easily recognizable in the game.
#FIFA 09 XBOX 360 LICENSE#
It is interesting to note that EA never made much use of the license in FIFA but they have lost the UEFA Champions League license for 2009. There are also some interesting aspects such as media interviews which affect your player's performance.Īs expected a whole bunch of real world leagues are included such as the English Premier League, Serie A and Spanish leagues. Winning games earns money for the transfer market, and also increases job security. You can be a player manager or watch the games only but this really is FIFA Manager 09 lite. You can play an exhibition game, take on a tournament or take the managerial reigns where the rest of the game is to be found. As well as this the harsh realities of world football apply with red cards earning you an enforced suspension, and injuries putting you on the bench for a while.įifa09_xb360_2Other game modes are the more traditional style where you control all players. There are some visual indicators to help you such as when you're offside or in the wrong position in comparison to the ball. It is much more gratifying to score a goal when you have worked with AI team mates, or pass a through ball to a striker for a goal. This mode really is the best feature of 2009 and once you try it you will be addicted. For example if you choose Frank Lampard you are a Chelsea and England squad player at the start of season 1, whereas a new player starts in the club reserves and has to put together some performances to make the first team, let alone the international team.
#FIFA 09 XBOX 360 PRO#
If you choose a Pro their current real world progression carries through. In an interesting decision you can choose to play as a real world pro or build your own character. 2009 takes this to the next level allowing you to play as one player for a club for four seasons trying to become a legend. In 2008 you could control single player on a team for a one off game in a mode which really threw a curve ball to the competition. Perhaps the biggest and best change to the series is 'Be a Pro Seasons'. There is no doubt EA has put a lot of work into FIFA and the 2009 edition is by far the best addition to the series we have seen. Ironically PES has been heading the opposite direction. Since the introduction of next generation consoles however, EA have been steadily improving the series, taking it from an arcade style game through to a simulation game.
