First Exclusive shots of FIFA 09

but that has little to do with the game I reckon. more so with the broad band expansion in Europe

You play 360 or ps3? I hardly ever have lag in any game on xbox-live, heck I cna even download and play at the same time. but Sweden is very developed broadband wise

 

[YeahBee]

in theory that sounds great, but it just wouldn't work. people would be running all over the pitch aimlessley, just trying to mess the game up for everybody else.

couldn't the same be said for any shooter, the experience playing with a solid team in battlefield, CS or whatever is way above the experience just playing deathmatches or random games

I play with PS3.
Trying to get 10 people simultaneously connected to the game with no lag is nigh on impossible. Makes the game much more difficult to play and it levels out everyone's skills.

 

[RC8]

Was anyone else disappointed with how inferior the PS3 version of FIFA is to that of XBOX360? I was shocked when I tried it 3 weeks ago. I even expected it to be superior (seeing as the PS3 is more expensive), but it turns out that the grass is still bi-dimensional and the gameplay is much more limited.

 

[Rocafella]

Read an article saying that on Fifa 09 there will be the option of 10 vs 10. Only the Goalkeeper will be computer controlled. RC8, EA have also said they've reached parity between the consoles now, so there should be hardly any difference between each console.

Looks incredible. Ronaldo's stance and the way he strikes it looks spot on.

 

[nazo]

Looks good but i want to play it to understand how good it is. A demo should be coming sometime soon i think.

[Jameel46]

what time does the demo hit PSN?

 

[Smartly Dressed Morris]

Very soon I hope as the xbox demo and pc demo are already out today , great reactions so far !

 

[go49oner]

what time does the demo hit PSN?

Around 4 or 5 that is when the store is usually updated.

 

[nazo]

Apparently the ps store in europe won't be updated today (technical issues, delayed till tomorrow). I'm not sure if it's the same for the rest of the world but if it isn't, just make a north america account and get the demo or any other demos north america gets.

 

[James]

Just downloading the demo now for 360.

After the first play, i love it already. Alot smoother, and quicker, but in a good sense. They've improved on 08 which was brilliant in itself. I really think they may have just pulled even further away from PES.
