Money well spent for me. Got it for the PS3 for me and DS for my son.
I had the demo and thought 08, but I would say it is the BEST ever.
Fifa 09 is a great game and yes you can create yourself and play against the best in the world, it also carries over from Euro 08 where you can select a surname so that the commentators announces you during the game, it also has a similar engine to the Euro 08 and yes Fifa 09 has improved the looks of the main world players.
There are over 250 additions and enhancements to the core gameplay, Fifa 09 delivers a real authentic football simulation game that enables you to customize the game to suit your style and ability, you can full change team tactics and create your own that suits your team requirements.Also, the player celebrations have returned from Euro 08, you chose how to celebrate.
The graphics are superb, it is obviously loaded with the correct sponsors (ours is hillstones) and names, stadia and equipment.
Anyone with a PS3, my online name is OAFC24
