Ok, thanks for sharing that. Still find the information on them interesting though right?

Regardling the article, sounds interesting although I need to see some footage of it to get a real idea of how it works/functions.

Yeah I was interested in seeing what the exclusive PS3 feature was gonna be?
I don't actually comment on every Fifa news thread like you were implying.

Looks like the PS3 version will be once again the one to choose if you want all the features...

Let's wait the end of Leipzig Conference, there should be many more surprises.

4 - well good for ps3 i guess..but
its the most basic feature i have seen boasted of.
unless i am getting the wrong end of the stick.

the game tells you who is playing and the score of games happening in the real world.

this must have taken about 10 minutes programing.

i think you can get this info free to your mobile phone.

still if you are playing the game at the time a game is happening you can get the update without moving as much.

did u read the article? they are talking about player's performance...so they have to track easily 1000+ players with all the leagues that they have...so the programming might be "easy" but collecting that data every week might have some merit...
as far as the feature goes, is it really that important to the game? I personally don't like it since it'd make teams with strong stats even stronger (i mean come on the chances of lets say Man U. to start doing poorly are slim)....so it'd be pointless to pick lower stats teams to play

I hope my favorite club (Santa Cruz from Brazil) still in this version. Anyway, is a sure buy.

6 - So basically...
this is just a more frequent roster/stats update......which means now I have to pay more attention to real games....so I know what team/player to play with virtually. I am not really sold on this feature....could add too much confusion.....then I have to ask, do players really vary that much between games....or at least enough for them to be updated so frequently. If a player gets injured in real life....will he be removed from the game during that duration?

It USED TO BE ahead... until last year. UEFA Euro 2008 (Fifa 08 last evolution) beats the crap out of PES 2008. Better gameplay, more realistic, better gfx, better and lag free online (on PS3 at least).

Let's hope the old champ can make a comeback (probably more in 2010 than in 2009). I still have faith in Seabass even after the terrible PES 2008.
