seems good, new wii style mouse aim controls and much closer to the next gen console graphics than the previous fifa games that were ps2 ports

Is this still not next-gen graphics? ;<

Im installing now, I thought the PC version this time round was going to be made more next gen?

I think they now class it alongside the 360 and PS3 instead of Wii and PS2 after giving it a boost. Not too sure about the graphics though might only see next gen with the full game.

yes it has been upgraded, i don't think its quite upto the consoles but its way better than before

Downloaded + installed, must say I'm not very impressed. Bit more polished but essentially identical to fifa08 on the PC (I really hoped they'd use the next-gen graphics for PC this time).

Was 15 mins into the game and blasted one in the top corner with drogba from 30 yards too, so not much changed with ease of shooting either imo!

Bit disappointed, I hope the next-gen console ones are better.

It is fun to play though, don't get me wrong.

Eh?

The graphics are jaw-dropping on mine. Much much better than '08 on any console.

Trouble is, the controls are the same barrel-scraped heap of No Swearing they are every year. You need a pad to enjoy this properly, and in that case you may as well just get it on a console.

Downloading, if only to have a look at these so called great graphics

Tute · 10 Sep 2008 at 23:38

Just tried the pad I have, and that doesn't work either.

I don't know why EA bother doing FIFA on the PC, it's quite clear that...

a) They don't care.
b) They can't be arsed.
c) They're not trying.

very poor gameplay gfx did not impress much either never been a fifa fan but

Awesome

Coming from FIFA08 on 360 - this versions sucks, so badly.

I've just played through a match and I honestly can't think of a single good thing to say about it. Terrible graphics, crowd noise was very poor quality, crap gameplay.

Bring on the 360 version!

Marky · 11 Sep 2008 at 00:34

I reckon the 360 version will be better - always is

must be your pad, works fine on a 360 pad here

can people actually say why they think it plays bad rather just saying "crap gameplay"

*Chris · 11 Sep 2008 at 00:39

Yeh the 360 pad works fine, but my PS2 pad doesn't work that well (it recognises it in-game but can't change buttons or anything, must just be an unfinished version)

I set all the graphics to high and tbh it didn't impress me, even though they don't bother me, it's the gameplay that really gets to me.

EA Haven't cared about their Sports lineup on the PC for what ... 4 - 5 years at least.

All they do is put a polished turd on the PC from another platform.
