The Graphics are a separate matter, and FIFA09 on PC has leading-edge graphics.
With that said, please allow me to further explain what I said earlier in this thread, as I believe that some of you may have misunderstood;
[1] I am aware that some PC systems are as capable as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (and that some are even more capable than them), but the majority of PC systems aren't (see [4]).
[2] The fact that a PC system can run Gears of War, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, etc. is irrelevant: the gameplay architecture of FIFA09 can not be compared to games of a different genre, and it is a fact that the majority of PC systems do not have enough CPU processing power for FIFA09 on PC to be the same as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.
[3] This means that, although some of your PC's may be able to 'handle' a better gameplay architecture, only 1-3% of PC systems on the market could 'handle' the same gameplay architecture that FIFA09 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have (see [4]).
[4] "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." That is a fact.
However, because the PC continues to benefit from constant graphics and performance increases (and always will), the FIFA series on the PC will continue to improve each year, and it's architecture will, in time, 'surpass/exceed' the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 versions.
I didn't say that FIFA 2010 on PC will (or won't) be the same as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game (because I do not know whether it will (or won't) be, at this moment in time).
Thank you for the constructive feedback that most of you have provided on this subject, so far.

Oh will you just stop fobbing us off with that rubbish? EA are the only damn company who are still coding games so they will work on ancient PCs! Everyone else's policy is: If you've got a machine that'll run it on max detail, good for you! If you've got a machine that'll run it with some details turned down, great! Otherwise, TOUGH!
They don't compromise on AI/Physics or graphics. Only EA do, so once again, us PC owners have to settle for either:
PES: Chances are will have great gameplay/ball physics, but no depth and sod all leagues or Fifa: All the leagues you want, and tons of depth, coupled to a good game, but one that completely misses out any kind of aerial battle. 'If it's in the game, it's in the game?' What game would that be then, EA? Table football? Because that's the only type of football I've ever seen that has no aerial battles and where the players struggle to head the ball more than a few yards. I can head further than that and I'm
rubbish at football! The older Fifa games could do it, PES can do it and all on PC. So what is your excuse for it not being in a Fifa game since Fifa 2003/04?? Because the PCs around then were nowhere near as good as they are now, yet they seemed to manage far more realistic ball physics and aerial battles.
As I said before, instead of crapping around with pointless inclusions such as 'mouse control' in a bloody football game, you should get all the basics right and that includes being able to head the ball up in the air and more than a few yards away!
