I've been playing this a little more now this morning. And there is one thing that has to change for the full version. I've seen far to many red cards yet again! In one game 3 players were sent off. Now I know ref's aren't supposed to take tackles from behind lightly but seriously, a yellow card is often all they give unless it's a horrible tackle.
It's nothing like NG, and I think they will have to do that for FIFA10. It's better than 08 IMHO but it's still only a tweaked game with better graphics. It will do for now, but a serious overhaul for next year is needed. Graphics is a nice step in that direction, I only hope the gameplay will see the same change next year. I may pick this up together with PES again this year. Last year I only bought FIFA for Be a Pro and it's certainly better this year and with better graphics, so I think I can have some fun with that if nothing else.
