Sigh. I thought I went through this with you guys, but here goes again. FIFA 09 is broken, and the CPU uses its "broken-ness" to its advantage. It was intentionally coded to hurt the user, sap enjoyment, increase infuriation. Basically, the people that made this game are evil, and should be kept away from 2010.
Ok here goes.
The CPU uses the already small cramped match box pitches to suit their game. That is why they seem to be right behind you. The picthes are just do damn small. Its almost ignorant to believe grown men made this game.
They defend with their strikers 99% of the time deep into their own pitch.
No matter what team you face, they ALL seem to be back line marshals and play the offside trap to the T, which is IGNORANCE.
The CPU is not interested in playing football, its interested in stopping YOU from playing what looks like football.
They DO read your buttons, that is why they can evade 90% of your slide tackles when walking. However if they are running or already "locked" into an animation they can be slided. That is why you can BARELY get away with certain dribble moves. They seem very susceptible to step overs ( somtimes ) and a roulette spin ( sometimes )
They take the ball off you when not humanly possible.
They aim to hurt your player not get the ball. If they get the ball GREAT, if not you player is floored, no biggie. They know they'll only get a measly yellow after repatedly lying down on your players. They'll do this numerous times, even when carded and get stupidly sent off. No worries, they just play the most defensive 4-4-1 and then wait for that "perfect" through ball. To either score, shoot wildly get a corner and THEN score
They exploit the horrid engine. God trying to clear corners can be a nightmare 60% of the time.
