Fifa09 was released not only for pc but also for other platforms like PS2, PS3, Xbox360, N-Gage and iPhone OS. Compared to Fifa08 there are more than 200 improvements in the game but only a few of them can be noticed during gameplay. The other changes are open only to experts and professional gamers.

The improvements include quick responsiveness that allows players to release the ball quickly and team fatigue taken into considerable account in manager mode. The new improved jostle system permits compares the player’s strength when going one on one. EA Sports have brought in advanced collision system that measures the power and speed of the players when they collide. So you cant place short and thin defenders against attackers like Henry.

One notable change is the lively and natural positioning, reaction and saves from the goal keeper. The players and teams statistics was updated as per the January 2009 transfer window. The PC and PS2 versions support an additional tournament mode that contains officially licensed challenges too. The users can create their own tournament too.

Two never-ever-seen features are Adidas Live Season and user-controlled celebrations. Also the weather effects can be changed in quick play mode (kick off) but it is not possible to do the same in manager mode. All covers and posters featured Ronaldinho and one more player depending on the region. In India Wayne Rooney was featured along with Ronaldinho. Though the gameplay has been improved the AI messes up with some errors. Except for the funny commentary and few bugs this game definitely worth a try.
