In my previous post, I had talked about how some tweaking of the custom tactics for the opponent teams would make this game absolutely brilliant with variety and randomness. Thanks for your overwhelming response for that idea. As a result of your support, now I'm going to suggest you some custom tactic set ups for various types of opponents. My basic assumption is that you would be playing for a top team or a champions league team.

I've got my FIFA 09 and I've been playing it over the weekend. There is so much in FIFA 09 that it is not fair to review the game after just a couple of days of playing. But you don't need to play for too long to understand the game play improvements and features. So I'll review the game play aspects of FIFA 09 in this post. See, I haven't played much of Be A Pro seasons, Manager Mode or even the online games. All I've done is to play the offline exhibition games and quick custom tournaments....
