He complained after he left us that we were at fault and he was not given any chance to get on the pitch.

I met him on open day.

He never could score any more and his pace his used to have was gone and once that had gone, it was no point any more.

thought I would get that one in. He is a good player though.

Does he still play internationals??? Not really noticed

how about the defenders, when the other team comes the defender do not attack but only look at the ball. It is so frustrating, and the offside is a bit off too. Hopefully you can address these issues as well

We are pleased to announce a game update for FIFA 09 on Xbox360 and PS3, hopefully arriving sometime next week. In line with community feedback, we have spent time improving the gameplay experience and addressed the following problems:


- Fixed side-stepping issue on lofted through balls
Fixing the issue where a player sidesteps when trying to control a lofted through ball instead of running straight onto it and controlling it, was a top priority for the EAC development team. We’re happy to say that the team at EAC has been able to fix this problem and it will be included in the game update.

- Improved advantage rule: fixed goals being called back for free kicks
There was a problem in the advantage rule whereby the referee would call back a goal if it was scored when the advantage was being played. Instead the referee would give a FK or a PK to the fouled player. This issue has been resolved in the game update. Goals that are going in when a foul is committed will count when they score.

- Improved number assigning in Manager Mode
When signing a player in Manager Mode the player now makes a more sensible decision, based on this position, on which number he would like, whereas previously he would always take the number 2.

- Allowed up to 8 user-controlled teams in Tournament Mode
After installing the game update it will be possible to play in Tournament Mode with up to 8 user-controlled teams. This gives the option to host bigger events with your friends to compete in offline-tournaments. Have fun!

- Removed ability to bring custom teams into Online ranked matches
Everybody has the option to transfer players in his favorite team and create his own custom dream team. This is an option we want to offer everybody to enjoy the feeling of creating own teams and play matches online or offline. When it comes to ranked competitive online matches we think only real teams should compete against each other to keep everybody’s chances even. So with the update it is no longer possible to enter a ranked match with a custom created team. You will still be able to upload your customized team online as in customized starting line-up with the existing players of that team’s roster

- Fixed Stadium 23.Maj lag issue
We fixed a major frame rate issue in 23.Maj stadium.

- Fixed join issue in Online Team Play Lobbies
A game hang issue occurred during search for available OTP game sections within the lobby rooms has been resolved.

[Adry_7]

Ooo... wat date was the anouncement first posted? (Go Toronto )

[GoTorontoFC]

This thread was started at 9:30am GMT (4:30am EST).
But the announcement and confirmation of the patch was a while back, posted by David Rutter.

[George3170]

Oh no i have a science exam tomorrow.

i think its marketing stratergy,they put bigs like the crab walking in on purpose,that way they could fix it in a patch and make people love them or they could fix it the next year and say that they have fixed it in a interview(as an improvement) then people will be like,its fixed,thank God, because they will be like,in last years edition they was a 'crab walk',well this year its fixed..but i dont know,thats what i think they are doing,i mean in most gsmes they are bugs that couldnt possibly be missed,so it had to slip into the final release on purpose

[Invisible111111]

still need a dumy wall @ the arena when practising free kicks, the distance of the free kick would help too. When taking FK/ PK, the shot power bar should be on the bottom right n should be normal size, not a tiny one over his head, if they made practising FK/ PK more game like, people would have better chances in those situations.

we need an update so we can change the actual grass colour in any stadium.

ie . Arsenals pitch on the game is lalalala

in real life its the best pitch in england and a different colour

I know some people wont think this is important but would be good.

[Kamill83]

Please EA fix it:
1. Reduce online LAG in EA serwers!
2. Fix the coach (not only when we score a goal).
3. Night games is too dark!

Thanks EA!

I am very pleased to see the side stepping glitch and the advanced rules being updated. However, there is one more pressing matter (in my opinion) and that is the offside decision. This is (to my liking) MUCH to precise. Sometimes it is hard to discern the red (offside) line from the yellow (last player) line during slowmotion. The rule is: the attacking team gets the advantage when offsite is not clear. Furthermore, I would like the officials to make a mistake on calling the offside now and then. This will increase the reality feeling enormously.

[DaMoneyz]

theres still one major problem uve missed!
theres no weather in manager mode, and dosnt cylcle, you need to add this aswell please ea

[MercGH]

What about the mic issues in Fifa 09 Clubs mode? That is the most annoying thing ever. People can't randomly hear each other, some can hear the other person, but the other person can't hear them. Than when you find a game, sometimes the issue is resolved but sometimes its not then we can't even talk during the game. It is seriously one of the most annoying thing ever in a game that I come acrossed. The failure rate of the mics not working is high.

[alz57]

great but it would of been a lot better if u guys patched trophies along with this update, thanks anyway.

[mzu]
