Fantastic Fifa


Last week I was extremely eager for EA's Fifa 09 release date.  I began playing Fifa 08 at a friend's house and  immediently was addicted.  I loved to play with Nigera, which is the fastest team in the game although only 4 1/2 stars out of 5 overall.  Initially I was disappointed that Nigeria was not included in this latest installmentl, being one of two international teams excluded however I found a filler with AC Milan from Italy's Serie A.  They most notably have Ronaldinho, one of the most famous soccer players.  The game boasts over 250 improvements from 08 says designer David rutter.  You know have weather options such as snow or rain and you can also choose the time of day for the match.  One cool thing I like is that if you start the match at dusk by the end of the match it will be night, adding to the realism.  Also EA revamped the collision system which takes players' strength and size into account.  I would recommend this game to anyone who likes strategy games.  There are many different ways to customize your team's style of play so you have a choice on how you want your offense and defense to be run.

I too miss Nigeria from 08 but I find on the internationally level France to be quite quick, and on the the club level barcelona to be pretty fast as well. I usually play with Chelsea though. AC Milan is trash along with your boy Ronaldinho, Henry is the greatest player in that game.
