Powered by the third generation of the EA Sports football engine, FIFA 09 features more than 250 core gameplay additions and enhancements that deliver the most responsive, intelligent and realistic action ever for the series. Enjoy turning defenders with more controlled dribbling and ball control, snapping off precision shots with improved first-time shooting mechanics and firing beautifully timed passes with greater accuracy, placing the ball exactly where you want it. With new player momentum physics the speed and weight of the player determines everything from the distance of a slide tackle and the power of a header to the severity of player collisions and the height of a player's jump.

 Great October 5, 2008

Was pleasantly surprised with Fifa 09. To be honest I thought it would be a carbon copy of Fifa 08 with a few different shirts and players but, hey - I wasn't expecting an amazing game with much better graphics, gameplay, commentary and when players tackle they fall over in the most interesting and realistic ways! The cut scenes are much better and the referee is like a real one.
Carrick looks himself - it's spot on. The layout is very very different from before and it's much much better, changing lights that are soothing in the backdrop and a darker select menu.
The songs are good, I wouldn't say better than before but good nonetheless. The players arn't so bulky which is a definate plus point. There are more than 30 professional signature moves. Stepovers, flicky-things and awesome tricks are all added to the collection. It's generally much more authentic action and the stadiums look great.
Also be a pro for 4 seasons instead of one. The fan shop is great - buying new balls and 3rd kits is great. No, there is not any Online play, but as someone who never bothered to do this I don't care and now because of this lack of Online play, Fifa 09 takes up much less space on the memory card than the others.
I love this game and I am not buying a PS3 no matter what, why spend 500 quid on the console then 40 quid on every game, when you can have quality games on the good old PS2?
Answer me that without blabbing on about the better graphics.
So... LET'S FIFA 09!
Super game for all FIFA lovers October 20, 2008

I have FIFA 09 on PS2 and i think it's much better than any of the others. The graphics are better, and it's much more reallistic (especially the results of tackles). It's a shame the game is only spoiled by some bad commentary, but it's a must have. For any FIFA lover or if you are new to the game, go out and buy it. You don't need to spend hundreds of pounds on PS3's when you can thoroughly enjoy FIFA 09 on the good old PS2!
 Another year of PS2 for me October 12, 2008
8 out of 11 found this review helpful
Fifa football (09, 08, 07 - whatever) is the only Playstation game I play (with the addition of the Euro Championship and World Cup footy games) so whether Fifa 09 was any good on PS2 was pretty critical for me.
I'm pleased to say, I can have another year with my old console and my old, little, wireless Joytech controllers. The new incarnation is champion.
On the positive side - it's great to have players updated (though Theo Walcott is not a 78 Overall - much, much better) and the budgets go up when you get promoted. (I should point out, I only play Manager Mode.) The graphics - even on my relic of a console - are better and if you shoot from outside the box sometimes - not often but sometimes - it actually goes in, which is one up on Fifa 08.)
Playing in the German League is a lot better because the completely-accurate-but-utterly-messes-up-your-pre-season playing of the league cup in August has been shelved, allowing you to select Schalke and Werder Bremen without trepidation. Having the play-offs in for the Championship and below is great (not that I need them - Championship winner with Norwich!!).
On the down side, it's the same old Clive Tyldesley/Andy Gray commentary. I don't know if the big boys version - ie PS3 - has the same old toot from these old stagers. As far as I can make out, there are no - repeat no - new players getting a name check. As a Spurs fan (and thank goodness we've lot the Martin-Jol's-Blue-and-White-army chant - plain awful), I was a bit disappointed that our current crop of 'stars' - Modric, Pavlyuchencko - don't get a name check. That - and the fact it hurts to play sa Spurs in the current climate - has had me playing as other teams which, I guess, has been quite liberating.
All in all, this is 24 quid well spent. It's not perfect; there are glitches. (When I was playing as Hearts, every week I was given the sponsorship bonus of doing an unbeaten season, which certainly helped the Champions League surge.) However for cheap and cheerful fun, this beats watching the stock markets fall.
What were you expecting? December 8, 2008

I bought Fifa 09 for the pure fact that I had Fifa 07 and although I still enjoyed playing that, I quite fancied updated teams, players, graphics etc. So I'm not disappointed, it has all those. I wasn't expecting a giant leap forward in realism, nor something to rival the looks of the PS3 Fifa versions. Therefore if you're expecting some ground-breaking, new era type game, don't get your hopes up, as I think if you are really looking for that then you should look to getting a PS3 or Xbox or whatever.
This game is still enjoyable, with some good tricks still, which is really why everyone plays a one-star opposition, to show off their rainbow flicks right?
Fifa 09 is fun for a now-and-then player; if you want amazing hours-on-end fun then maybe look to a next generation console for your answer.
PS: Be A Pro mode, I think is average. As another reviewer states, you can't select a number for your player if it's already taken, so you have to be number 27 or something, and it can get a bit repetitive, not to mention harsh on the eyes when the screen widens to get all the action in. But it's ok - something a bit different to liven things up.
Enjoyable to play! October 25, 2008

As always,Fifa 09 is very enjoyable.I was also pleased to see that EA SPORTS waited for the end of the Summer Transfer Window.The reason why I have marked this game down is because there are so many skills and features that they include on PS3 and Xbox 360.The first thing is you can't have control over the players goal celebration.I would really enjoy controlling my players delight.The second thing is that there are quite a few new skills that you can do for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and I would love to be able to trick defenders.Actually,there aren't any(apart from casual controls that I can't see the point in)new skills for the PS2 version.But overall I think that it is a fun game.
