tapedeck Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Whats this exclusive mode then? This might just sway me towards the PS3 version... Read about it here Although it's not a massive deal, I thought IGN would have mentioned it's in there. To hardcore footy players I would have thought that the integration of the Interactive FIFA World Cup was quite a coup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletherobot Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Anyone know the cheapest place to pre-order this from for 360? It's £39.99 on SoftUK and with a 15% off voucher (SOFTUK15) it costs £33.99. Has anyone found a better deal anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 argos get load of sport games for £30 on release, might be worth checking there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 As Skunky mentioned: Argos, it's £34.99 there. Cheapest you will probably see on the high street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletherobot Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hmmm. Cheers for that guys, I think I might just risk it and wait til release day to find the cheapest price on the high street. Student discount might be handy on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyletherobot Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 HMV, Zavvi, Game, some Gamestations do too. Don't think Argos do it though. There may be others but thats all I can think of at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyletherobot Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Haha! Cheers for that. I don't work in Game, so I don't get 25% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Although this is kind of Nintendo-centric, we have a feature up on the main site all about console football games for all those that love 'em. HERE Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tapedeck Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 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. 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 ^ Grr. Still no Villa Park on there! But Newcastle's and small poxy European grounds make the cut? That's bollocks! Come on, lads. It's a FIFA 4-star rated stadium for fucks sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
