Same Old Same Old with a new title.
(or at least i cant see any improvement if there is) and the so called "new" features, aren't that new at all.
My review will focus on the be a Pro Mode. Well, it starts out fine and all, you get to either create your own character or play as one of the players featured in the club you choose. Now, first, it starts out pretty fun and all, you get to play in international matches, play for your country and you get to move on to captain your club/international squad.
But heres whats missing. You will notice that during gameplay the opposition teams manager will constantly make substitutes, while your teams starting eleven and ending eleven forever remain the same, which is ridiculous. The time where your team makes substitues, is when you make the decision, and the only time you can make the decision is to become captain (so my question here is, what happened to the manager). In addition, at the start theres this hype with the 2010 worldcup, telling you that you get to be part of the international squad and get to play if you do well for your country in matches. HOWEVER, you will not get to play in those matches, all you get is a news feed of you during the play which describes you "shining" for your country. Real letdown. And at the end of the season, there are no offers to buy you, you cant move to another club if you wanted to, and you cant repersonalize your character (e.g change his celebration style)
In conclusion, if you have FIFA09 don't bother buying this game, instead look forward to PES10 instead.
