FIFA 09 - Game Discussion Thread

My commentary doesn't seem to be working (Xbox 360), I get the sound from the players and the crowd but I can barely make out the sound of the commentator. In the audio settings the commenary is set to max, anyone got an idea of what the problem could be?
 
Your speakers?

Im starting to get really frustrated with Fifa now, im shockingly bad at this version of the game, im finding it hard to score a lot, and everyone seems to play with the speed on slow or normal, while its a much better game on fast.
 
I take it the host determines the speed? All the matches I have played so far I have been playing on fast. Not sure I would enjoy it as much being slower.
 
Anyone know of a guide to how exactly the different stats in Be a Pro mode effect the player. Some of course are obvious, but others i'm unsure exactly how increasing them will improve the player.
 
my copy arrived from lovefilm this morning and i am dissapointed, dont think ive managed to take it past a player yet and I went 2 advance after a match and it shut down and took me back to the XMB, can never change to the player i want either

Scored the best FIFA goal of my life online as Real Madrid v Inter just now to win 1-0

It was the same as Van Der Vaart's back heel goal in the 7-0 win they had this month. Almost a carbon copy and I searched in vain for the upload option and realised there is no such option for online which is gay as I mostly play online. :(


What a goal though!

I did that with Rooney last night.

I was dead chuffed :)

Ronaldo with a cross into the six yard box and Rooney with a backheel shot on goal... I got hardly any power behind it though so it ended up being saved. It still looked fantastic though :)

Look at my manager mode tutorial for skill increases. Find your position you play in and follow the little guide.

The player training in MM and PaB are exactly the same :)

yeh i get the same thing, and it i get enough power over the wall it just keeps going up. i seem to think the only person you can score them goals with is Ronaldo, but im not wasting time playing as Man Ure waiting for the cpu to foul me :o

This is going to sound ridiculous but, you're either using too much power that your kick taker can't control it... or you're not using enough and he can't get it over the wall.

With the LB/L1 shots you need to remember it's a "power freekick" so it's going to be faster paced than a normal freekick anyway - with little curl.

There should be notches on the powerbar for the freekicks, you've got to generally aim at getting it just over the second notch on the power bar.

It's a difficult skill to do power freekicks all the time, and depending on the walls position it's even harder.

Don't always rely on LB/L1 style freekicks, the regular curling freekicks are there for a reason. If you don't think you can get it up and over the wall, bend it around it.

You'll need to aim a good foot or two either side of the wall for it to work, and push the stick in the direction you want to curl it while powering the shot to add the curl.

Remember that pushing the left stick while powering the shot adds to the balls curl when it leaves your foot.

Pushing forward means the ball will fall very quickly from the air.
Pushing back means it'll stay up in the air longer.
Pushing left curls left.
Pushing right curls right.

Pushing diagonally Up+Left makes the ball curl left and come down quickly, Down+Right means the ball will curl right and stay in the air longer...etc...etc...
 
Anyone got any tips for BAP mode?

I'm playing as CF (aka second striker) and I'm finding that I'm always being penalised for being out of position. Either I keep up with the attacks and it penalises me when the opponent get the ball and punt it down field or I stay deep and it penalises me when our team breaks. I'm having to hold the run button permanently down to keep up with play.

You don't get penalised all that much of it. Just stick around the opposition's back line or hang back from the striker and you'll be fine. Don't think of yourself as an out and out striker, more of a creator. Aim to play the ball over the top or through the defence for the main striker to run on to.
 
What teams are you guys using for the manager mode.

Are you starting with really crappy teams, or some of the better teams such as man utd/chelsea etc?
