Final whistle..
And the came the mighty UEFA 2008, which was developed by the same team that works on gameplay improvements for FIFA 09 . It’s essentially a glimpse of what we can expect to see in FIFA 09.I’ve said it in the UEFA 2008 review and I’ll say it again: UEFA 2008 is the best football game ever made.
In my review I stated:
It just gets so many things right and expands on all the good things from FIFA 08. The new game modes, such as ‘Battle of the Nations’ offer true innovation in the genre and should help no-end in fueling and stirring national rivalries. The new features, such as the interactive celebrations and cut-scenes, have added a new dimension to match-days, making scoring as satisfying as it has ever been in an EA football game, and the enhancements to the match-day engine, which include the use of negative tactics by opponents when they are playing away from home, makes for an accomplished football experience.
FIFA 09 is going to be amazing, I'm sure of it. After seeing what EA has done over the last couple of years, my faith has been restored in the series. It sat on its arse for a few years and lost its crown, but it’s now risen to the challenge and the developer is striving to push the boundaries of what we normally expect from football title, with full integration with its community service, sumptuous next-gen visuals, sublime animation technology and an all-round more tactical and realistic experience on the pitch.
FIFA 09 will have over 250 additions and enhancements to its core gameplay. EA's style over substance approach to previous FIFA games is no more. FIFA has laid down the gauntlet and its going to take one hell of a game to take that crown from it again.
