like i said before, the game is stiff :).

nice way to put it, its exactly like that it felt heavy and not fluid like real football plus people just walked into you and you lost the ball totaly bull

i bet the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are better, pc seems to get sort changed recently

EDIT: East Coast do you like the game then?

It's ok but there are some issues with cross passing. It seems to do so automatically if I pass the ball more then 2 times causing you to loose possession. It's like they tell your AI teammates to do some sort of fancy cross pass or something fancy even though there is no teammate there or worst, the opponent is there. I also noticed that when in possession I am usually alone as I approach the net. I tried changing formation a few times but I maybe a bit more aggressive then what this game want to accommodate. The menu system is not the best and, they don't even use the proper symbols of the xbox 360 game pad. Leaving you to figure out what 1-9 corresponds to on your game pad. I really don't like some of the camera angles as it makes it difficult to gauge what type of attempt is needed for a goal. And to top it off the 3rd person view is only available in Be a Hero. It would have been nice to have that option when you are playing as a team.

Here are the differences on the xbox 360. Which is better then the PC IMO.

Interesting requests for Pes 2009 source

Download the game directly from EA here
There are 2 versions of this game, EU and NA. The EU version is 768Meg download while the NA (USA) version is 1.0Ggig download. However, someone reported that the EU version installs at 1.40Gigs while the NA version is at 1.08 Gigs.

fifa09 demo mods can be found here

If you want to edit attributes you can do so by using DB Master

Tweak the speed, difficulty, etc by downloading locale.ini file.
Place it in the same directory as Fifa09.exe source The game plays a lot better when you change the speed from 1 to 3 or 4 though.

I have bold the commands that can be tweaked. Some are obvious like resolution, window mode, etc. The time is in seconds so 1700 seconds = 28 minutes. Change them according to how long you want the game to last. There is 2 difficulties, one for the AI the other for the goalie. They can be changed 1 (easy) to 4 (hardest). The last but not least is the game speed. The demo has it set to slow, I suggest using 2. I wouldn't go crazy making changes in the locale.ini file as I believe it comes from the FIFA08 and some of the commands in that file are not available in the demo and can bork it. Once borked you may need to uninstall and reinstall the demo again.
