I picked this up 3 weeks ago but because of Far Cry 2 havent touched it until last night. Until now I have always gone with the Pro Evo titles but after last years effort (which was good) I wanted a change, the main reason is I wanted a fully licenced game.

So after about 3 hours of play last night I can safely say I made the right decision. Ive started a manager mode of Spurs and the depth compared to a Master League of Pro Evo is mindblowing.

I do like the gameplay, I played 3 games in and Im 1-1-1, however im really used to the fast attacking gameplay of Pro Evo while with FIFA it seems to be quite a technical buildup, which Im preferrring because its much more realistic, Ive had two screamers scored from David Bentley crosses.

However anyone got any tips for a Pro Evo convert??
 
Have you played around with the % screen that helps create a style of play?

Depending on your side, amp up one style and create a formation and stick to it. I play my WB's high, take the ball deep and cross a shitload. I play fast wing players and have them go forward often, which often leaves forwards 2 on 2.

I loved Pro Evo, but this game shits on all of them.
 
New commentary packs are out in the PS Store, and I imagine the XBL marketplace as well.

One is free and 725MB in size, and the other one is $8.45 and I don't know how big in size, wondering if I should buy the other one, it should liven up the commentary a bit from what is currently a fair bit repetitive, but will the first pack be enough or should I get both?

I have to say though it is a very good concept, bring out commentary packs on a continual basis to keep the commentary fresh and stop it from being too repetitive.

Yeah, that'd be good, I am not downloading the free commentary pack just yet as I am waiting till after midnight for my monthly download usage to kick into off peak, then I will check it out if you haven't got back to me by then.

I've only seen one goal from a FK, and that was in online, the guy was about a metre or 2 outside the box and managed to curl the ball around the wall and right into the bottom left hand corner of the goal, I was stunned, and pissed off at the same time, but it is very hard to do it unless your very close.
 
I've played a few games with the $8.45 comm pack and its pretty gd.

its got the same dude as the main commentator but he sounds a bit more high pitched and says some different things.

the main difference however is that the special comments guy is english and sounds a bit like Jason Statham. Unlike that dopey sound scottish prick or whatever he was.

i have a feeling the free one is the one we already have.

Apparently a patch will be released soon to fix the "Crab Walk" thing :).

From EA UK Fifa 09 forum.

We are pleased to announce a game update for FIFA 09 on Xbox360 and PS3, hopefully arriving sometime next week. In line with community feedback, we have spent time improving the gameplay experience and addressed the following problems:


- Fixed side-stepping issue on lofted through balls
Fixing the issue where a player sidesteps when trying to control a lofted through ball instead of running straight onto it and controlling it, was a top priority for the EAC development team. We’re happy to say that the team at EAC has been able to fix this problem and it will be included in the game update.

- Improved advantage rule: fixed goals being called back for free kicks
There was a problem in the advantage rule whereby the referee would call back a goal if it was scored when the advantage was being played. Instead the referee would give a FK or a PK to the fouled player. This issue has been resolved in the game update. Goals that are going in when a foul is committed will count when they score.

- Improved number assigning in Manager Mode
When signing a player in Manager Mode the player now makes a more sensible decision, based on this position, on which number he would like, whereas previously he would always take the number 2.

- Allowed up to 8 user-controlled teams in Tournament Mode
After installing the game update it will be possible to play in Tournament Mode with up to 8 user-controlled teams. This gives the option to host bigger events with your friends to compete in offline-tournaments. Have fun!

- Removed ability to bring custom teams into Online ranked matches
Everybody has the option to transfer players in his favorite team and create his own custom dream team. This is an option we want to offer everybody to enjoy the feeling of creating own teams and play matches online or offline. When it comes to ranked competitive online matches we think only real teams should compete against each other to keep everybody’s chances even. So with the update it is no longer possible to enter a ranked match with a custom created team. You will still be able to upload your customized team online as in customized starting line-up with the existing players of that team’s roster

- Fixed Stadium 23.Maj lag issue
We fixed a major frame rate issue in 23.Maj stadium.

- Fixed join issue in Online Team Play Lobbies
A game hang issue occurred during search for available OTP game sections within the lobby rooms has been resolved.

I am still amazed that something like that can get past testing.

They would be looking at alot of other things while testing, it would be tough to pick everything up, it wasn't overly obvious to me when I started playing.

That being said I am glad it is being fixed, now it will stop all the exploiters online.

They would have played a stack of games though surely. It's embarrassing that they either didn't pick it up, or couldn't be bothered...

Well at least they're fixing it now, along with the advantage/goal bug.
