10v10 confirmed for FIFA 09

17
But why not 11v11? EA tells Gamesradar why

FIFA 09 will feature 10v10 online play on Xbox 360 and PS3. David Rutter, Line Producer on the PS3/360 version told Gamesradar: "We've managed to get 10 v 10 this year online through strength of will and technological nous. [But] we want to make sure the control system for controlling goalkeepers is compelling enough before putting it in, because no game has done it particularly well, if it's even been in there.

1.1 - 10 v 10 is not bad.
I mean, who would want to play as the goalkeeper.

I don't think many people would, the mechanics would be slightly too different. but I guess it would be more 'complete' if it was 11 v 11. And add to the gameplay element.

10 v 10 is absolutely brilliant though, I very much doubt pro evo and konami could match that, in this years iteration. Even if they did, probably would be a bit laggy.

But as a pro fan, i think I am going to buy both now, instead of just sticking to one. (unless pro has 10 v 10, which again, I doubt).

Fifa 08 was garbage. Yes it looked amazing, had all the licenses etc., but the gameplay was just as bad as any other in the series. The tricks system is a joke, the passing was god awful (although they addressed it somewhat in Euro 2008) the players were unbalanced and the ai was mediocre at best. Yea pro evo sucked this year too, but a sucky pro evo is still better than the best fifa has come up with so far.

The graphics were no good except for the closeups, and even then all the players all look oddly sinister...

2 - A bit off topic...
but does anyone know if it's possible to do 2v1 (or 2v2 or whatever) online with two different PS3's? In other words, me and my friend want to play online together, but on the same team against someone else. Is that possible?

This is for Fifa 08 or Fifa 09, and for a normal match not be a pro or anything.

I see no reason why not. Just like games with TDM, you should be able to select your side.

This isn't confirmation, but I agree the feature and option should be there and easy to impliment.

Not as far as I know. I play FIFA 08 regularly and no, there is no way apart from arranging a Be A Pro match in which you two are the only ones on your team.

FIFA 09 will definetly be better than PES 09. It depends, i mean why isn't Konami saying anything about their game.

PES4 was the best PES game then the franchise began to die.

8 - FIFA FTW!
FIFA 08 rules. I play 5 vs 5 every night. Everyone has headsets so we can communicate throughout the whole game. It's as close as you are going to get to playing real soccer. I can't wait for FIFA 2009
