I have previously changed after Fifa 2000 for PS1 to PES. So first ISS Pro Evolution Soccer 2 for the PS1. Then PES for the PC, where mainly the PES 6 I stayed positive memories. By purchasing the PS3 I had also extensively played PES 2008, which I was quite disappointed them. Last year I switched to Fifa 09 by the two demos (Fifa 09 / PES 2009).
In Fifa 09, I have until now made around 400 online games and probably a larger number Offline games against friends and in Manager Mode. Therefore, I would certainly trust decision about the gameplay knowing.
So the demo and the assertion that it would be virtually a Fifa 09 with new number:
- The mentioned herein that point with the image, I can confirm that, because I also no giant leap strikes for 09er. The graphic anyway so falls in the telephoto perspective in mind. As mentioned above it is perhaps still do to the full version of something and frankly the graphic of FIFA sports game conditions but more than ok. The next giant leap is we have probably only with a new generation of consoles in the house.
- Gamplay: So meiens think a lot has changed and who has played FIFA 09 really often I must first change. Game play is generally faster what I want to assess neither positive nor negative now, probably getting used to things. Folgene things struck me particularly positive:
+ The superiority of fast players was mitigated by the greater involvement of physique in defense. Say you can the defenders not just run away.
+ In general, the longer a physique duel is more important and more frequently. Thus an Ibrahimovic or Drogba can give thanks to his physical superiority prevail against a quick defender sometimes, rather than simply expired.
+ 360 degree control. After a short acclimatization, this feature falls on positive since it mainly in the forward movement no longer inadvertently proposes to strong hooks and dardurch strikes the wrong direction or loses too much lead.
+ Long Shots: strong is still the same. Even a flat range shot is possible and a goal from 20-30 meters remains no single piece / Random product more.
+ Faster paging / flanks. The edges come much faster and more individual in the penalty area. So there are times in a cross 5 meters space are not simply captures the goalkeeper. Or a "failed edge" also goes sometimes dangerous direction Latte, Tor
+ In general, I come before the shots varied and individual. The, coming were further improved.
+ The animations in both the movement as well as the acquisition Balla look better / more realistic. Technically savvy players lead the ball striking, unlike a defense Hühne.
+ Offsides lead not directly into a whistle, but it will also wait times, whether the ball actually reaches the attacker etc.
In addition to the aforementioned points certainly fall on another small improvements in the game flow.
The one negative to me:
- The Keeper class is still unusual. Although probably are no more goals from the kick-off possible (which has always excited me wen I got a goal because of one error). But in some Schussrutinen or edges you continue to act as safe as Rensing blindfolded.
- Advantage rule is still very uneven.
- Ball physics is certainly still not necessarily realistic, but at least for distance shots improved. Paging and edges act at least more quickly whether realistic everyone can decide for themselves.
- The stadium and the fans seem hardly revised. As would have been possible, and perhaps there is in the full version nor a positive surprise.
Conclusion: Fifa 10 takes place faster, more accurate, short-passing-oriented and thus better. Speed is not a panacea and the physical game moves like in real football a bit more in the center of the offensive. All in all a mandatory purchase for Fifa and football fans and the manager mode of the revised Live Liga wait in the full version still some improvements.
I would be happy in any case forward to go online with friends hunting for goals.
