while i appreciate the answers, it still seems to me that the real problems of Fifa 09 haven't been ironed out in 10. Here are a few of them:
1/ The tripping animation runs the same length for ALL players. So Rooney trips for 3 seconds, as does C.Ronaldo. This isn't so in real life, and is particularly annoying in 09 when you know your player could easily recover quickly and fight for the ball. Rooney doesn't trip easily in real life and even when he's knocked off balance and loses the ball, he fights back and sometimes gets the ball again. This isn't represented in 09.
2/ Some turning animations are completely off in 09. There are times when the player turns and completely slows down. It's absolute rubbish and ruins the gameplay. In fact, I've completely avoided moving my player in certain directions because of this
3/ When the player runs towards the edge of the field and the ball is going out, the player slides to keep the ball in play. Good addition in 09, rubbish execution. The player slides, keeps the ball in play and takes forever to stand up. Even when he DOES stand up, it's like he's forgotten he has the ball and should keep going. During all of this stupidity, the ball is collected by the opposing player.
4/ Players sometimes allow the ball to pass by their feet and don't bother to collect it during passes. I've watched Rooney, Ronaldo, etc do this in Fifa 09 and wondered what the bloody h*ll the devs were thinking when making the game. Perhaps EA should employ better testers.
5/ Through pass, through lob, and crosses are completely useless in 09. Say what you wish; on assisted they may work, on semi everything falls apart. When I asked for help, someone told me to forget about through pass, set my pass to manual and use that instead for through passes. I had a question mark on my head while thinking, "Er ... forget the through pass? If it's in the game shouldn't it be used?" I won't even go near through lob. I've used it 5 times after owning Fifa for almost a year. 5 times. The crossing works when you're crossing into your opponent's box or out of your box or whatever - if that's what you're into. But crossing the ball so that my player doesn't have to stop, stand and wait for the ball to hit is chest is a complete no-no in Fifa 09.
I can't remember other nonsense that riddle 09 but when I do I'll be sure to put them up. So far, all everyone's been talking about is 360 dribbling in Fifa 10. That's great. But if these problems I've listed persist, it just makes the game half finished. I still can't believe I haven't used a through lob in almost in year while playing a football game. It's like being able to walk but being forced to sit in a wheelchair forever. It's frustrating.
