am i the only person who got sent a PS3 version instead of a 360 version?
i'm pi**ed off.
sent from the shop that sells game

That sucks dude

37 minutes until I storm out of my office to go home for lunch and squeeze in about 35-40 mins of game time (assuming it has arrived)

Worst comes to the worst, I have ordered a new book from Amazon which will be arriving today, so I could always read that..................................COME ON FIFA!!

From my experience it's very rare to get a game from the Jersey store before the release date. It damn near always arrives on the day of release.

It's normally the ladder company that ships 3 days before hand and you can end up playing it the day before release.

I got Fahrenheit from them and they shipped it so early I had it 2 days before release, and completed it the day before it came out

The only game I got on release day that I can remember is GTA IV (so I ended up going to a midnight launch instead, and I just sold the extra copy

). Other than that all my other pre-orders have come a day before, having used about 3 different companies.

I'm not interested in this game but thought some might like a heads up before over spending. This game will be £29.71 from midnight tommorow at a well known supermarket.

What well known supermarket is this you speak of :confused:

Even from the Jersey store? I've had the odd one or two games before release from them, but not nearly every game I order like most other places.

I only ever use that Jersey company now if they're a few quid cheaper, if it's an official launch partner (like with WAR) or a game I'm not bothered about getting early.

Was the crossing on FIFA08 down as Assisted Semi or Manual as default ? As I felt in 08 I had a lot more control when crossing a ball in, '09' seems to kind of lock on to a target when putting the ball across the box ?

you can change it yes, i actually found crossing a lot better when i changed that setting in the game

In the demo it seems you cant hit lb(lt on classic controls)and sidestep/crab shuffle when in possession, am I missing something? or did they remove it?

Just pick up a copy of the sun or star, or go to a internet deals website. Easy to find

beachBOYken · 2 Oct 2008 at 12:39

so there is an assist on crossing and shots?

Just played my first match on Live on my lunch. Won 2-0!

Amazing game though really like how much they have improved some of the animations and the matches seem really tense!

Have my copy and I've already had the same bug I used to get with 08 (where it freezes at the arena when connected to Live).

Then when I tried turning the 360 back on, it froze at the dash when trying to connect to Live, which means currently I can't play this on XBL (Though it could easily be the piece of **** console MS sent me as replacement just last week).
