Good Points

Bad Points

However the game looks better, I cannot get over the fact that the players run funny and look very like a cartoon. I was expecting a more realistic simulation improved over the FIFA 08. The response time from the moment you trigger the remote control to the point of the player making what you made him do is still not good in where you often miss a play because of the player is still executing two movements before to what you did.

General Comments

I tried the FIFA 09 demo on the XBOX 360. I like the fact that the players react a bit more quickly and the passing is more intuitive. I like the control over the camera in where you can modify the angle and zoom of it making just the way you like it. The tactics are another aspect that offers a better control over the team playing strategy, after each goal, you can control the celebration of the player which makes it fun.

I just hope the demo is not a finish product and the points I have detailed are fixed. If they are not, I think I will stick with the FIFA 08 and just give away the FIFA 09.
