FIFA Soccer 09

Best soccer simulator, with just one major flaw...

...and that is: how referees handle the offside rule. Too strict, always seeing it, which is totally unrealistic.
But everything else is cool. My first FIFA experience was back in 1996, and since then I've tried almost every single game in the series. FIFA09 is without question the most mature one.
Game modes, controls and content are flawless, and the feeling enhancing stuff, like the musical score or the play-til-it-loads shooting practice just make the whole thing almost perfect.
English commentators are alright, as always, but local (in my case: Hungarian) ones are also up to the series' standards (actually, the Hungarian ones are hillariously funny).
A must for every PS3 owner, at least in those countries where soccer is popular - this is definitely the game you start playing first, when you have friends over.
