The majority of gamer's PC's do not have enough CPU processing power for this architecture, so FIFA09 on PC has been built to have the best possible graphics and gameplay engine while still being accessible to as many fans of the game as possible. If the architecture was identical to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, FIFA09 on PC would only be accessible to 1-3% of the PC systems on the market.

Having said that, FIFA09 on PC delivers a very deep gameplay engine, along with leading-edge visuals.

It would be very good for Fifa 2010 if they ported full next gen graphics into the game and also had an option for switchable ai from current gen to next gen. I prefer the pc gameplay to the next gen version at the moment as it feels more fluid and not as slow as it feels in console versions. However it would be great if they just ported it into Fifa 2010 and gave users the option to see if they could run it on their processor. What about an application before fifa 2010 starts being made, that tests the pc users processors to see if they are powerful enough and then submits the results. I reckon it won't even use 45% of my processor usage, the current gen version only uses 15%. How much more processor requirements are needed compared to the current gen to next gen. Does it require more than 3 times the cpu power. My processor can handle 9-10 times the current gen engine so if its more than that then let me know, even though my processor is not the fastest.

I remember developers complaining about the release of the xbox 360 and ps3 processors being too slow and that a pentium d would have been better than either of one used in the next gen consoles. If this is the case then a a 1.6ghz e2140 pentium dual core that costs £20-30 which is probably faster than the faster pentium d at 3.6ghz, as pentium dual core is based on coroe (core 2 duo) architecture, then all the 1-3% will need is a £30 processor to be capable of running next gen gameplay. Even my slowest laptop is faster than the pentium dual core with a mobile t7100 1.8ghz core 2 duo so it should be able to run it. If an xbox 360 can run it with a processor based from the powerpc mac g5 then a modern day processor should run it easily.
