The FIFA 08/09 podcast continues to answer the communities questions. To make things easier for you we've got a list of the previously answered questions for you and will be adding any additionaly asked questions here. If you have any questions for the podcast then you can ask them here!

Have any changes been made to reduce the online lag during a game? – Luckydude
Yes, lag free will be vastly improved but some lag may occur depending on your server location.

Will injuries online require the player to be sub'd off like they do when playing offline? - Chelsea2008
There are no injuries during online gameplay to prevent players from being unable to use their favorite players

Has the point system been adjusted to reward those using weaker teams? - footy125
Users will be rewarded for beating players of a higher rank. Also, with the addition of adidas Live Season, the team stats will change depending on real world form making the best team to use determinant on who’s in form in real life.

Can you enable/disable online chat during a game? – hammertime
Yes, you can choose to mute or unmute users during Online Team Play games.

Online leagues were a fantastic introduction into the FIFA series, but needed plenty of work. Only being able to specify an odd no.of games for example (1,3 etc). So will we see any improvement here? I'm thinking of stat tracking, bookings and suspensions. – Mikeeboy
There was stat tracking last year but based only on player and not the user stats. Next week’s announcement will reveal major improvements to our online play and stat tracking.

I'd like to know if FIFA 09 can do online 2 VS 2 or must it be 10 vs 10? – funhairbrush
Yes, in standard Be A Pro: Online Team Play you can play with anywhere from 1-vs-1 to 10-vs-10.

10 v 10: So many people have started threads for team mate, but does anyone know if you will be able to join a lobby and pick who you want to play with and not be random? – giddydrunk
Next week’s announcement will reveal major online feature upgrades

Be a Pro Clan support: What’s the likelyhood of this being in the final version then?? – lucas191092
