FIFA 2009

“Take your soccer team to success”

by: AlyCutes

Most soccer games are about playing an actual match against the computer or another human opponent. Other soccer games, however, focus on the business side of soccer, which, believe it or not, can be even more challenging.

FIFA Manager 09 is one of those business-style soccer games, and I'd dare say it's one of the most highly detailed I've seen. As in any other soccer management game, your aim is not really playing games, but rather successfully running a soccer team in every single aspect.

This means that you have many factors to take into account, from your team's physical condition to the achievement of objectives set by the board of directors. You must take care over your public image in the media and even your personal life – spouse and children included. You'll have to schedule training sessions, decide on player transfers, work on finding sponsors and find time to spend with your family.

Actual soccer matches in FIFA Manager 09 are limited to a 3D representation, which means you watch the game as if you were watching it on TV instead of controlling the players by yourself. This can be a bit frustrating if you're used to the traditional soccer games I mentioned before, though.

FIFA Manager 09 can feel overwhelming at the beginning due to the excess of information and the impressive amount of issues you need to be aware of. Luckily the game lets you take it gradually, and also helps with you with an extended documentation, on-screen notifications and other tips.

Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) 2009

“The popular console title is let down on PC by its controls”

by: AlyCutes

One of the traditions now associated with the coming of autumn is the release of two big football titles: FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. As any fan of gaming will know, these two games go head to head each year, with PES usually coming out on top. The latest edition, PES 2009, will be a huge seller on the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®3 consoles but how does it perform on the PC, a format notoriously unsuited to sports games?

I'm not going to lie to you: the PES 2009 demo for PC isn't exactly revolutionary when it comes to the old problem of porting console titles to Windows. All the old problems are there but the horrendously clunky controls (caused by lack of analog sticks) are the biggest barrier to enjoying what would, on the correct platform, be an enjoyable and well-designed game.

Another weak point in the PES 2009 demo is the lack of any game options whatsoever. With no way of adjusting graphics, sound or controls, the demo has a very rigid feel to it. Sound controls in particular would be a welcome addition, if only they allowed you to turn off the awful music Konami has selected for the menu and intro pages, and the tinny, poorly rendered chants during the game.

After selecting Exhibition mode (the only option apart from Exit), you're offered a choice of four clubs (FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United) or two licensed national sides (France and Italy) to pit against each other. There follows the usual tactical options screen, a brief summary of the (insanely crappy) controls, and you're straight into the action.

The first thing we noticed about Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is that the graphics have been improved somewhat since last year's edition - player models are smoother and more natural than previously, even if getting the players to go where you want is just as hard as ever. Other improvements include the general AI of computer opponents and the physics of the game, though we're only really talking about minor tweaks here.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is, in the end, a slight improvement on last year's slightly disappointing release. On the PS3 and Xbox, it looks likely to lose this year's contest as FIFA 09 has improved so much. On PC, and especially without a gamepad, its controls are so clunky and inaccurate that it's as much of a waste of time as Civilization is on a console.
