In a time when utter fucking MOR wank like Need For Speed Chav Slam CHallenge are getting sixes and sevens, EG should be fucking ashamed of themselves for giving this little gem a 6.
The refinements made in the EA Sports soccer engine (this independent player/ball physics engine is the wave of the future weather you like it or not) allow UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 to play like FIFA 07 should have for the Xbox 360, and it’s good to know that EA cares about such things. They could have merely slapped UEFA licensing on the same exact engine and many gamers would have been none the wiser. Add the gameplay tweaks to a new mode that makes a strong case for the combination of card and sports games, and the result is a surprising effort from EA’s Canadian development house. Reply0
It doesn't make a physical actual difference in speed, but it just seems to work better. I can't put my finger on it, but I have a 720p projector, a 1080p capable 24" Dell, and I'm choosing to play it on the 14" portable in the bedroom!
It's still at little sluggish due to the weighty physics system, but everything from the ball movement to the responsiveness seems better in SD.
I get really annoyed with some of the shooting animations, as it often looks as if the player is leaning back too far, and should sky the ball. On a CRT, this isn't noticeable at all.
Everything is so much more subtle and seems to flow much better as a result.
Another bonus is the camera on a 4:3 screen is far better, giving a much broader view of the pitch.
Also, cut scenes and replays etc all run silky smooth at SD res.
The Challenge mode I'm completely hooked on at the mo. Even I would have to admit blasting it from outside the box with Gerrard is extremely satisfying...
"This only works up to a point. The on-screen backswing doesn't mirror your movements in the way that, for example, the baseball game in Wii Sports reflects the slightest tremor in your wrist, so the first thing you need to do is slow down your backswing so that the on-screen equivalent has time to catch up - otherwise you can end up jiggling the Wiimote around at shoulder height, puzzling over how to get the in-game club to go any higher."
What on EARTH are you talking about?
I don't think I've ever even glanced at the on screen character, let alone let him catch up. Reply0

FIFA 09 demos: PC out, PS3/360 today
Eh? It doesn't - it's nothing like the 360 version. Reply 0
FIFA 09
Having rented Euro2008 (PS3) for a week I am looking forward to the PC version of FIFA2009. The last FIFA game I played was 2001!
Huh? Why be happy with the 360/PS3 version, then revert back to the PC/PS2 version?

Oh, and the net physics are SEXS. Reply 0
But it NEEDS to be played on a 4:3 CRT/SDTV.

Hey? You did turn the wheel support on in the options menu didn't you?
I certainly don't have any dead zone problems with mine.
