In FIFA 09, take to the field and play professional football your way. FIFA 09, powered by the third generation of the EA SPORTS football engine, with over 250 core gameplay upgrades and changes that give the series’ most responsive, intelligent, and realistic action yet. Turn defenders with enhanced dribbling and ball control, snap off precision shots with improved first-time shooting mechanics and fire beautifully timed passes with higher accuracy, landing the ball exactly where you want it.
The speed and weight of the player determine everything from the distance of a slide tackle and the force of a header to the severity of player collisions and the height of a player’s jump using new player momentum physics. Furthermore, players now behave according to their physical attributes, with larger, stronger players winning collisions, battles for ball control, and positions in two-player header confrontations.
