football your way in FIFA 09. Experience the most authentic
football simulation EA SPORTS™ has delivered as you live the
fantasy of playing as a professional player and customize the game

Powered by the third generation of the EA
SPORTS football engine, FIFA 09 features more than 250 core

control, snapping off precision shots with improved first-time
shooting mechanics and firing beautifully timed passes with greater

and weight of the player determines everything from the distance of
a slide tackle and the power of a header to the severity of player
collisions and the height of a player's jump. Plus, players now
behave according to their physical attributes with larger, stronger
players dominating collisions, battles for control of the ball, and
position in challenges for two player headers.
