I'll guess that 95% quit
correct
had 2 games on BAP.
first one we won 8-1 got a goal and 9 rating probably best ive played RCM with Arsenal vs Man Utd...so close to MOM.
2nd one 1-1 draw Man Utd vs Bayern (i was with bayern RM) crapy first half (4) 2nd half i bags our goal
brings my rating up to 6.
but i missed a golden chance to win it 79th min as i was through on the keeper i make the classic mistake of not shooting in time before the keeper dives at my feet
still tinkering with the camera view.. tele is ok but doesnt give as good vision for the wider positions (or maybe i didnt zoom it out enuff)
broadcast is good zoomed out for wide positions but a lot lot harder to do tricks coz your guy is a tiny stick man.
edit: love this game. the more of the pitch you can see the easier it is to pick out the passes

Ahhh FIFA 09. Had it since the weekend when I purchased a new 60Gb 360 basically to play it and PES2009. PES2009 will shortly be sold, it disappoints me so much I cant be bothered to talk about it.
Back to FIFA, the whole package is perfect - presentation, graphics, sound, online etc.
Gameplay wise its growing on me, I have played ISS/PES for the last 11 years solidly and my first try back to FIFA was 08 and I just couldn't get into it but 09 seems to be a bit growing on me a bit more. I have a few niggling issues that have probably been covered already but anyway. I don't know how to describe it but it just feels slightly 'clunky'. I find myself getting frustrated and not being able to play the killer ball when I want to, there sometimes seems to be a slight delay which is enough time for the opposition to get the ball off me. This could be down to my timing though of course which im sure I can get used to. Referee playing advantages, this seems to be completely backward. I find the ref to blow for a foul when the advantage should be played and vice versa as well. The referee himself seems to be a complete pain in backside as well in terms of positioning. I know its supposed to be realistic but I have had numerous 'killer' balls obstructed by various bodily parts of the evil ref.
Overall though its growing on me a great deal, there is a lot more to it in terms of control than the more pick up and play PES but i'm hoping once of cracked how to play it then I wont look back.

Im getting into manager mode at the moment - though gonna have to start again - stupidly started off by putting most of my reserves on loan not realising how long it takes my team to recoup (lazy sods!) so I have to feild a team thats half on red energy :/
BTW Im sure there were tips on what attributes to develop but I cant find them - any kind soul got a link?

I wish you could take the ref out when controlling a defending player
Why dont they just make the ref like a hologram?
TBH I might sound mad, but Id love if the engine actually took into consideration when deciding bookings/fouls where the ref was from the action and his viewpoint. Might mean more incorrect decisions, but thats realistic
Also I swear the engine doesnt use the right offside rules as I always get flagged even if theres no daylight between me and defence - its like it just takes the midpoints of the players and bases it on that...

The worst thing happened to me online, but thankfully i got away with it. I was through 1v1 with the defender just behind me, i slowed to steady myself and slotted the ball into the corner, about 3/4 of a second after i had shot and the ball was on its way in, i got hacked down and just hit the floor as the ball nestled in the back of the net, quality i thought, 1-0. Oh wait no its not i've got a penalty?! Surely the advantage was me scoring? Thankfully i put the penalty away and justice was served. The ref had a shocking game all around to be fair.

I fouled someone outside the box as he lobbed my keeper. I got a red card and he got a freekick, which led to nothing. HAHA!! He beat me in the end though

So once again justice was served? Seems like FIFA has an uncanny way of making things right in the end.
Cue somebody with a story that totally contradicts what i just said.
I play some beautiful football with lovely tight passes and skills in the opponents half ala Arsenal and still I cant score so Ive come to a decision
......The games right, Arsenal are ****

You know me for buying and selling 
I actually wont play it much and my plan was always to buy it again next year cheaper when the surge of games dies down. Yet for that price I may as well dip in and have the odd game.
I have played well over 150 games on each football game this year, so it's easy for me to see the differences. When fifa sorts out the strength v Tackling with A button it will be nigh on perfect for me.
TBH I dont think I will ever play you again and quit while I have bragging rights
Still need to school anderson.
