of new animations for players that further add to the simulation feel
of the game.

improved and now offers unbelievable similarities to the real life
counterparts.

response times have been increased to increase the flow of the game as
in real life, while game speed has been tweaked from FIFA 08.
-
Improved graphics, lighting, textures and crowd. Overall graphics have
been improved upon once again. Lighting changes in real-time depending
on the time of the match. Crowds in the stadium have been redeveloped
for the new entry.
- Player height and weight. Player weight and
height plays a cruical role in aspects such as aerial challenging and
strength on the ground.
- Visible referee, linesman, staff and
dugouts. For the first time in the FIFA series referees, linesmen, subs
and ground staff are all visible. All have distinct animations such as
subs warming up for their arrival.

affects. FIFA 09 now includes weather options such as rain and snow
which change conditions during the games progression. In addition the
pitch is now affected and becomes more worn during wet matches and
slide tackles.

same during every release FIFA 09 will increase the number of licensed
club and international teams as well as their official corresponding
stadiums.

bring new changes to Be A Pro and Manager Mode such as camera angles
and enhanced options.

first football game to allow upto 5vs5 online and now this is taken up
a gear with full 10vs10 online. Matches now have options for simple 1
player matches, 2vs2, 5vs5 and 10vs10 online games.
- Interactive Celebrations. As seen in UEFA Euro 2008, interactive celebrations will be incorporated into FIFA 09.
- Greatly improved edit mode. Edit mode has now been changed to incorporate a wealth of new options.

Improved Artificial Intelligence system. AI systems have been recoded
and act far more realistically. AI now take actions based on the score
and change formation as appropriate. Attakcing and defensive measures
are used as well as risk assessment.

Attacking and defensive styles as well as changes to formation can now
be changed on the fly. Risks can be chosen as well as new changes to
set pieces.

more efficient and as a result there is less pause and play due to the
fewer loading screens.
In
a recent 1up podcast, FIFA 09 is meant to have a revolutionary new
feature and was so good it was in for consideration for GOTY.
