FIFA 09 this the best football out of the series so far but with a lack of a tackling system the game loses it fun
The new game mode become a Pro is one of the best idea, you build ur own player (yourself) and work your way up to be a hero for your club, what could be better, the down side to the game mode is that it been miss named it should be called become a goalscorer Pro as if u play as a any other position the mode not set up of it.
An example is you get set challengebefore ever game 90% are Win by 2 goal or score 2 goal even shot 3 time, if you playing centre back no way will this happen if your playing as a midfielder u would think maybe u have to assist.......No nothing for assist's. Maybe in the next verson.
The game look's brilliant from the life like look's of the players to the ground your play in.
Now Down to the poor parts
this game has No tackling system in it, you can slide tackle and 90% commit a foul even if u get the ball first and than get booked or just send off which is the game favorite, but their is not a put a foot in button when up next to the player instead the game uses a jockey system (a term never use in football) which is you run next to a player and do something, normally run slower or just wave hands in the air but does not tackle you need to wait for a AI control player to come across and tackle as they have tackle that you are a control will not be able to use.
AI in the game is very poor, most of the time will run away from a passed ball of try and pass the ball in the area when your 5 yards away, The moment off the ball is shocking and will spend most the time offside, the tactic setup for most team are just weird 4-4-2 played like 4-1-1-1-1-2 (as the 2 CM are not in line and 1 winger played just behind the attacking 2 but the other winger just ahead of the CM that forward.
So again FIFA 09 may seem good but in the game it a very poor game due to it only been half made.
