    There are, of course, still a few flaws. Otherwise why would we look forward to next year’s version? Opposition goalkeepers tend to wait an unhealthy amount of time to take goal kicks every now and again, which is a touch frustrating. Tricking your way through defences is still much more effective against human opponents than computer controlled players. Plus online does seem to have more games that are affected by a touch of lag.

Not only can you play the normal features like leagues, cups and tournaments alone or with friends but the numerous online options is sure to bring with it a great deal of longevity to the game and provide value for money. Graphics and match engine - Fifa 09 as expected provides the best graphics yet and with the addition of th HD-cable as the experince is quite... Read more
