EA is already boasting about FIFA 09's new toy, its customizable tactics system, claiming that it allows up to "50,000 different combinations of tactics". Try and find 'em all!

Advertisement:
Speaking in the latest issue of PSM3 UK, lead producer David Rutter boasts, "there are roughly 50,000 possible combinations. That's not really doing it justice. The point is there are over 40 different defensive ways to play and over 500 attacking ways."

In case you're not up to speed, the system works with a series of sliders "incorporating key parts of the team dynamic - aggression, mentality, positioning, etc". You can even assign four of your own custom plans to the D-pad and switch them mid-match.

"You can totally change the way your team plays, and apply it during the match. Every game is going to be different," says Rutter.

"A long passing game isn't just about hitting the ball long. We've changed the support play so your midfield needs to be further up the pitch, looking for the long ball to be knocked down for them to run on to. In a short game, the team pushes together and is more compact to allow short passes to be played.

"But the AI will do it too, so if you play Man Utd and they go a goal down, they're gonna change to try to get a goal back."


Didnt they have this kind of feature way back on the PS1 fifas ? whee you could push your midfield up the pitch ? just give us back 5 a side matches ala fifa rtwc98 and we will all be happy :)

Got £40 stashed away for Friday for this one. God never thought i would see myself defecting from Pro Evo but gotta admit the demo impressed me. Besides i can't whip all your asses if i'm the only one with Pro Evo and you all have Fifa can I ? :107

you could try a rental at Block busters Boom , also you can customise the button layout (a big bugbear about crossing between the two games) ...

I have a question ....... i set the adidas update thing to Prem league , and (ill talk in hull city context but im sure its same for all teams) it increased stats across the team and so when i set up an exhibition match my stats were
Att -79
Mid -72
Def -72

nice one i thought esp as Cousins n Geo are 81pts :)

when i went to play either XBL friends , Manager mode and EPL tournament i noticed the stats were
Att - 74
Mid - 69
Def - 69

now as the Adidas stats thing costs (you get to choose 1 league for free btw) i thought it would at least be included in a game mode i will play ....... who bothers with exhibtion ???? i only checked it originally as its the quickest way to see a teams stats .
Have i done something wrong or u all noticed the same thing ??? cheers
X bastards

I've sent you an invite - you have to goto to xbox live and and view player hub and check your inbox
I don't think it comes up with your invite when you load the game cause I sent Daz an invite yesterday and he still hasn't accepted it

The others are:
Coco and Kilted

If I've missed anyone let me know cause I went by mygamercard.net

Not sure what happened cause your invite is still in my outbox. I'll delete the current league and set up a new one when I'm next on line.

Also I've managed to link my gamertag to easportsworld.com after I emailed EA.

Just looked at my card record:
Yellow - 184
Red - 44
Jesus I know I come in with the odd slide tackle but didn't know I was that bad.

Also I've noticed that a few peeps have started to display their avatars but I should point out that they are two types, the one on the web and the one in the game itself.
To decide what your avatar wears then click on (in the locker room) web or fifa and remember to press save

Still trying to get my Leg end status -.-
I guess you mean on Be a Pro mode.
Here's an easy way to do it and also get club god as well.

Start off by going to transfers, pick any team to start, it doesn't matter. Once the transfer window comes up, press "Y" to search for players, choose detailed, and change the "Min Ovr." to 85.
A list of about 6 pages should come up,
YOU WANT TO PUT ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PLAYERS ON SYDNEY FC:

IKER Casillas - 91 (Spain)
Javier Zanetti - 86 (Argentina)
Lucio - 87 (Brazil)
Alessandro Nesta - 88 (Italy)
Phillip Lahm - 85 (Germany)
Carles Puyol - 88 (Spain)
Cristiano Ronaldo - 89 (Portugal)
Franck Ribery - 88 (France)
Kaka - 90 (Brazil)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 89 (Sweden)
Francesco Totti - 86 (Italy)

Then go into squads, and put these all as starters on Sydney Fc AND USE THE 4-1-2-1-2 FORMATION.
(Main Menu ===> Manage Team ===> Team Management)

Then choose any player off the starters and make them captain, I would suggest "Christiano Ronaldo" as he is by far the best player.
But, if you choose someone else, make sure to also make sure to make the capitan of their national country!
Once done, start a new "Be A Pro" season with Sydney Fc, for your player select who ever you made captain.
From there on in, simulate every single one of your matches, and this along with "Club God" should unlock along the way of the 4 seasons.
At the end of the 4 seasons, you MUST WIN the Be-A-Pro world cup thingy to unlock "Living Legend". So I suggest that you play these matches, just to be sure.

Also if anyone is still trying to get the score from 30yrds achievement, the easiest way is play a game and keep the score one goal ahead eg. 2-1 1-0. On the 87 minute giveaway a corner and the other team will bring their keeper out for the corner, win the ball leg it to the halfway line and shoot. Achievement unlocked

An update is due to be released that will fix the following issues:

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

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 favourite 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.
