- Finally Konami Has a Rival (Or almost)
what i dont (or didn't) like about EA's Fifa is player's stiffness and all-round laws of physics of the game, thats why i never bought the game since - well i can't remember but i guess since first winning eleven games were out. used to be no matter how a player body is positioned or wherever he looks the ball can be passed around just as accurate or as quick as if the player passes the ball forward. this has changed. added to the game is the super excellent graphics. arguably FiFa 09 is better than konami's winning eleven/pro evolusion 09.

- Great Game
I have played this game since Fifa06 and it keeps getting better each year. The game play is great and the stadiums are realistic. I only wish they would have Champions League tournament.

- fantastic graphics and a lot of fun!
I bought this for my boyfriend who had fifa '06, and so this was a much improved version from then. The graphics are so fantastic, you have to see it to believe it! We also had a lot of fun making our counterpart graphic players. Highly recommend it to soccer fans and girlfriends who even dont like sports, a lot of fun is had!

- New but Scratched?
I purchased this game and was really excited to receive it, however when I got the game (brand new) there was a scratch on it that makes the game freeze? This has never happened to me and know Amazon will not believe me that I didn't scratch it my self. Anyway, I did play my friends game and think its awesome and I recommend it to all soccer/FIFA fans! The only thing that bugs me is the commentators sound like a broken record, I wish the game had different commentators instead of the same ones for all the games.
