Price cut for FIFA 09 Live Seasons News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

14 January, 2009

EA will be snipping the price of the FIFA 09 Live Seasons from Thursday to keep up with the reshuffling of the January football transfer window.

From 9am UK time all six individual leagues - Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy), Ligue 1 (France), Bundesliga (Germany) and Premiera Division (Mexico) - will drop from 560 Microsoft Points (GBP 4.60 / EUR 6.72) to 420 MSP (GBP 3.57 / 5.04).

As a result, the price of the entire bundle will shrink from 1600 MSP (GBP 13.60 / EUR 19.20) to 1200 MSP (GBP 10.20 / EUR 14.40), according to Xbox Europe community bloke Graeme Boyd's blog. We're checking the PS3 situation now.

The Live Seasons keep tabs on performances of real-life football players and update the in-game player statistics accordingly. One free 2008/2009 subscription to a league of the player's choice is thrown in with FIFA 09, and there's usually fresh data every week or so.

There's no word on when the offer will end, although 31st January is probably a good guess.

All that's left is to wonder whether Kaka will really go to Man City for GBP 100 million and a wage of GBP 500,000 a week.

Lower the price of the game while you're at it. I want another football game, as I just don't feel PES09 anymore. I want FIFA09 now. But there's too many games out there that I want, and a football game (which I already have one of) is relatively low on priority.

it's unlikely to get a price cut whilst its still number one in the charts mate, although I did see some offers around just after xmas iirc with it being £30 (assuming you live in the uk)

Meh, I tried the Live Season thing last night, cant say I was too impressed by it. Predictably all the star players were really buffed while the workers and the triers were narked.

£500k a week. Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't have bothered with an education and should have just played better football.

if you buy a new copy now of Fifa you'll only get half a season worth's of free updates as the service stops at the end of this season.

Once again this is something that should be free DLC instead of chargeable to the fat cats just to cover brand sponsorship

@scowat

You get 1 league for free, and not buying the additional ones has little impact on the game. As DLC goes there is much worse out there.

Stupid question maybe, but how do you update the "free" subscription? Via Xbox marketplace it will charge. Maybe I should have more of a look into it, thought i'd ask though as i'm at work...

ahh thats good i suppose i do love this game but even though i live in oldham which is about what all of 20 mins car ride into manchester im not a united fan.

infact im very much not a premiership lad at all just to much money being thrown around and drama from the players the ronaldo week in week out drama and the styupid dream team city is building with £100 million buy price for kaka and half a million a week wage being prime examples.

im a absolute oldham athletic fan threw and threw go every week and that shows on fifa 09 aswell.

i prefer the lower leagues like coca cola 1/2 because its not so money based and its more gritty and old school.

my only gripe about this news on the game is i wish they had put the option in to add live season for the lower leagues championship,coca cola 1,2 i might have gone for it.

then again i have more chance of seeing communism being the number 1 political choice in the world than a oldham vs stockport or any other lower league match up online.
