I wasn't in love with the demo, but it could be a goer. Just waiting to see how the Wii version holds up before deciding. This is certainly tempting. I just don't know if I can go back to pads after Pro Evo Wii; though I'm sure it'll only be a minor readjustment.

 

The review scores are certainly tempting me!

 

PS Though I don't like the change the players every week depending on real life form. Being a spurs fan I'll struggle to win any games :)

How did Sensible Soccer not make the list. That was like the best footy game ever in the early to mid 90's.

 

I concur, but on the SNES it was shite. :blank:

 

There's a truck load of titles tbh (Mia Hamm on the N64 etc...) but the FIFA/ISS/PES saga is far more interesting from a writers perspective than writing about OCEAN's management sim on the SNES and so forth ;)

 

Part 2 is later in the week...

 

 

EDIT:

 

FIFA 09 STADIUMS:

 

Looky HERE at all of the 360/PS3 stadiums...

Heres some impressions from a guy off gamefaqs.

 

- Melbourne is statistically the best team in the Australian A-League :) (a big tick for accuracy)

- Matthew Kemp is statistically the worst player in Melbourne's starting XI (again, points for accuracy)

- Tottenham is rated four and a half stars (WTF?!?!) - can live updates edit a team's overall competance and rating?

- Stadiums have never looked better!!

- Australia's default "home" stadium vaguely looks like ANZ Stadium or even the Telstra Dome with the roof open

- It's amazing to think how we have played this game in the past without visible refs of linesmen - great addition

- Quicker players are actually able to outsprint sluggish defenders

- It's not as easy to score from crosses

- In the dying minutes of sudden death matches, the opposition keeper comes up the field for set pieces (amazing!!!!!)

- CPU makes intelligent substitution choices (ie. brings on strikers if chasing the game, defender if holding a lead)

- Referee often plays advantage and gives a yellow card for the tackle at the NEXT stoppage!! (as opposed to getting away with a bad tackle)

- Sadly it's still near impossible to score from free kicks

- Fatigue effect is still not severe enough - players can sprint for much of the game and be at about 40-45% capacity toward the end

- "Kids" by MGMT is in the soundtrack :)
