FIFA 09 is a video game that was developed by EA Canada and was published by Electronic Arts, Inc. with the launch date set for early October 2008.
The game was released on the PlayStation 2 home gaming consoles from Sony, its follow up the PlayStation 3, the PC using Windows and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
The title can be classed as being a sports simulation that can be played from a third person perspective and uses a number of licenses from national federations and from individual clubs.
The game uses the same basic engine as the previous two games, launched during 2008, but the development team has made quite a few changes when it comes to the actual game, including adding a new physics model, which better reflects the complexities in any game, improving the realism level of the collisions and made the Artificial Intelligence of the goalkeepers better.
There are more than 500 teams included in the new game and 30 leagues are represented.
The game also has quite a few changes to Be A Pro mode and a new 10 versus 10 online multiplayer mode appears for the first time.
