red. Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I usually don't like buying games that come out every year but i think i'm going to get this. I was really impressed with 09 and some of the improvements to the new version sound good. But i'll also probably be looking for deals for it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad. Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 loved last years, it was amazing :| looking forward to this years, saw a few vids on youtube from the dev's and one was saying they's focused a lot on the goal keepers (animations, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Anyone noticed how ugly it is to play Fifa09 at 1920x1200? EA Sports is probably the worst gaming studio. It's more about money than delivering games that people will enjoy. Winning Eleven still isn't that enjoyable due to lack of licensing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red. Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I just like to assume Andy Gray is drunk and that is the reason for some of the commentary. Doesn't get on my nerves that way :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miuku. Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 You guys have got to install the Spanish Commentary Pack for 09, that's the only thing I use when playing. It's awesome :D You're really missing out Crazysah, 09 was the best FiFA ever made - and this coming from someone who played Winning Eleven so much the PS2 controller broke :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy0 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Fifa 09 was really amazing (having come from '06)! Probably won't be getting it this year tho, maybe next. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysah Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Any reason you haven't been buying it?Fifa 09 was amazing as daphoenix said. Well the games just kept getting boring for me. 06 was definitely too easy and 07 and 08 din't seem good at all... 09 well I played it at a freinds house (who has every single 09) and I din't like it much more than 08. It was pretty boring with the same commentary and all, and the MP wasn't working even in a gaming cafe... I am not buying '10 as I have important exams coming up. I may buy it in April though. '11 I will buy for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistaT40 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I can't wait for this game - I had 08, skipped out on 09 (just never got round to buying it) but definitely going to get this as it's going to be 09 with a lot of refinements. I think 11 will be something new though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There's only so many ways to phrase "he passed the ball" and "he scored / goal!" yeah... but even having them say the same phrases with different tones or slightly different layout at random would really help it feel less robotic. Are they adding weather back into this? eg snow. It was in Euro 2008 but it really killed the frame rate. I'd read somewhere they was adding it back into this so I hope they've solved that.
