FIFA09 online play has some major software bugs in the code for sure (and/or bugs in their server software).
I suspect in order to release the product on time any software crash was simply reported as a "Network Connection" thereby shifting the blame on something else.
If you're lucky you can go through the majority of the game with all shots on target.
The leads to a situation where the first person to score can deliberately take another shot from further out just to miss the target and win the game by default.
Interesting they have set some kind of threshold for awarding a win upon cralalalala seems to be say 15 minutes onwards.
It is most likely EA are aware of this problem because they will decide which bugs are a priority to elimate before launch..
For some gaming platforms bugs can be fixed by downloading patches. For the Wii, as far as I see the Wii updates only apply to the core Wii software itself and not the game.
I like the game, a lot of effort has gone into it. Shame about this online issue. I hope it is sorted for Fifa10.
