  My grandson is a sports nut. He can tell you every play for every football or soccer game played. This game will add to his inventory. He is crazy about the game and refuses to eat, sleep or anything else until he is finished. Information that will help him on the field. Good luck in trying to get your kid away from the tube, or should I say, flat screen.

  We bought this for our son’s 14th birthday. He loves soccer and enjoys playing this game. He especially likes to play on line with and against his friends.

  I have been a long time Fifa player. No matter if your playing it on 360, psp, playstation, or wii, Fifa is an outstanding game. There are a number of things that make the Wii version stand out from the rest. First, the 8 on 8 footie games. You can actually use your mii during the game. Second, the foosball table. This is a very fun addition. Overall, you can’t control player’s runs, but for the average player, you don’t need that level of control. Have fun, pass the ball, and shoot. This is a great buy for the Wii. GOALLLLLL!

  Brought for a 16 year old boy and he loves it! We had the 2006 version and this one took a little time relearning the precision passing level, but with better control after the learning process. Also has a beginner level of play. Had a few extras like a Fooze Ball Table, and that was a nice surprise. This game will grow with your child.

  Fifa 09 is an extremely addictive soccer game. They really did there homework on this one. Here are some pros and cons from my experiences.

  Pros:
  
  -All of the real players from clubs around the world with accurate skill and special tricks.
  
  -Advanced play allows you to use the Wii Remote to select where you want to send a through ball for a player. This makes the game constantly changing and you can develop better and better passing strategies.
  
  -Several levels of difficulty that keep computer teams honest while making the game more difficult (e.g. same speed with better passes and tricks from AI). The first time through the Premier League with Manchester United I did not win the whole thing because I tied the last game of the season!
  
  CONS-
  
  -No “World Cup” style scenario or UEFA Champions League
  
  -My girlfriend doesn’t care for it because I like it so much…HA!

  Great controls, great details and a lot of depth. The game has a detailed career mode that will keep your playing. It won’t amaze you with graphics or anything like that (this is the Wii we are talking about), but it is fun to play with the Wiimote.

  The biggest and probably only con, is the fact that the online play is absolutely horrible. I have yet to be able to complete a full game due to lag and drops, which seems due to EA servers.

  The FIFA 09 for Wii is almost two games in one. One part of it is the usual FIFA soccer with all the teams and options FIFA franchise has developed over the years. The other part is the special Footii Party designed to be played with personalized Miis created by you. Footii Party is fun to a degree. It all depends on how many people there are to have the party with. If you are all by yourself, you may quckly get bored with it. But don’t forget that the other part of the game with all the great teams still exists and you can go back to play that. Plus there is the online game play which adds extra competition (Footii Party is not an online option, too bad).

  The Bad.

  I think that every review needs some straight talk. I hate my online experience so far because I have not been able to complete 60% of the games I’ve played. I keep getting the connection error in the middle of the game. Maybe it’s my WiFi connection that does this, but all my computers (3 of them) hardly ever have problems connecting to my wireless network. So maybe it’s my Wii Console.

  The other thing is that I am have been struggling with the Wii remote control in this game. They give you two options: Advanced Play and All-Play. In All-Play, the CPU decides the moves for you and all you have to do is dribble, pass, shoot, run (the player with the ball only), defend. In Advanced Play, you decide how the whole thing goes. Due to my inexperience with the Wii remote, I find both options particularly difficult to master. I therefore decided to buy the classic controller simply because I have played FIFA on Xbox before without problems. The classical controller works great but it only works in the Advanced Mode.

  Note that if you play online with the classic controler, all your games will be in Advanced Mode. Many people online use the Wii remote so they play in ALL-Play mode. My guess is that the two modes are not compatible which is why I keep losing connection with my opponents (although I tried to play with my Wii remote and I also lost connection several times).

  This is the best fifa I’ve ever played. What makes it so good is the advanced controls. It gives you a better control of the team and where you’ll send the pass, where the players run and where to shoot. It of course has some flaws, and some of them drive me crazy sometimes; like I feel that the shots don’t go where I want them sometimes, or I send a high pass and it makes a shot with the head but very weak so it screws the shot practically giving it to the goal keeper, instead of kicking it… I guess it might be a matter of practice or something we have to deal with.

  Overall it is a great game. It is realistic and has various options for in-game movements of the players. Also the way you shoot can give you more control because you can make the ball spin as you rotate the wii remote.

  Other important fact is the lots of different ways to play as you can play in the manager mode, you can play leagues, cups, online games, special challenges and other fun games like the cartoonish soccer that you can see in the screenshots, keep ups, one game of shooting (which I haven’t played more that twice to be honest) and table soccer (which is great!).

  If you want a soccer game for hours and hours of fun and challenge, you should get this one (at least that’s my case).
