Fifa 09

Here is the test of fifa 09. Yes it is a game whose result is already marketed, but knowing that the consequences are not real revolution, those who perhaps want to take fifa 09 at lower price may find them happy in this test .

Today is my first match as a professional. I’m in the hallway with my teammates and my opponents. Suddenly the two returning captains on the field, I am with my legs trembling. At the exit of the corridor, I looked up and saw the huge stands bathed in sunlight. Hundreds of screaming encourage us, thousands of eyes watching us waiting for a victory. I suddenly have an adrenaline rush, my heart gets carried away when the referee whistles finally kick off …

Start with the achievements of the series. Licenses First, more than twenty-five leagues in attendance (including the Premier League, Bundes Liga, Spanish La Liga, Calcio, League 1 and League 2), as usual the real names of players ( So no Yoann Gourcaff, Karim Benzima or even Franck Ribiry) and the real shirts with their sponsors. The main stages are also present as the Anfield Stadium, Camp Nou or the Allianz Arena even if we regret the absence of the Stade de France.

Regarding the different game modes, there are the traditional career mode that displays your coaching career over 15 seasons. Become Pro Mode which allows to embody a single player, already present in Fifa 08 I tell you, yes it’s true but this mode is now playable in 4 full seasons are ending participation in the World Cup. And the online mode is playing in Game 2 until normal or 20 in game become pro. And just to note though is that independent developers, the fact that some players may leave the games online anytime without having to count as a defeat rather infuriating when you lead and largely lack the adversary fair play decides to end the game.

To continue to build on the achievements of the series, talking about the soundtrack. Still made by the duo Hervé Mathoux / Franck Sauzée, comments are of excellent quality, an effort has been made particularly in stories that are more numerous. The chants of the fans and the atmosphere in the stadiums are always so captivating, the fans respond well to actions taken on the ground. Note still some phrases in their context, eg “It is now 5 to 1 at the scoreboard” when the score is only 4-1, m’enfin we will not haggle for that sports commentators are wrong also in reality.

Realism is also increasingly present in each installment of the series and the Fifa Fifa 09 is no exception to the rule. The movements are fluid despite dribbling clamped to 8 positions. The physical players is taken into account, a player of great template will therefore not too difficult to retrieve the ball when it is the fight with a player and small. Regarding the fallen of the ball after a release is no longer the player to whom necessarily will get the ball, timing is also important to see the placement. As usual shoveled a technical moves, some of which are attainable only by a few players are available. Regarding the difficulty, Fifa 09 adapts to your level of difficulty from amateur level legend knowing that it is also possible to enable or disable support (with assists, shooting, ext …) . It is also possible to customize the tactics of his team by setting a lot of settings, although I must admit I have not used this function.

And to finish in style, talking about the graphics. On this plan, largely supplanting Electronic Arts competition. Personally the first time I played the game (demo so on) I was amazed by the graphics including close-ups where you can really see all the work done by EA. Of course there’s always a catch, and it is in the modeling of the players, some are successful as Benzema while others like Nasri is quite impossible to recognize.
