A football game focused on responsive physical play, collisions, and ball shielding.
The briefing
FIFA Soccer 09 is a football game built around more responsive and realistic physical action. Its updated engine introduces 500 new animation sequences, 360-degree collision detection, and collision outcomes influenced by player speed, direction, strength, and momentum.
The new shielding system adds tactical control over possession, allowing players to slow the pace, protect the ball, and push off defenders to create space, with the possibility of being penalized for a foul.
Released on October 13, 2008, the game is credited to EA Canada and Electronic Arts Canada, and published by EA Sports and Electronic Arts, Inc. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 2, Sony Playstation 2, and Sony PSP.
