Difficulty level - what difficulty? Video included

The scary thing is it really is World Class and I have no reason whatsoever to lie. Whats the point!?

It seems to only occur when your player is running from halfway and pretty much runs straight to the goal, the defenders hang back and give you way too much room. Defence on other areas of the field seems solid enough.


"stop lying" ffs give me a break

He is telling the absolute truth it is easy to run straight through the defence. I play on legendary with the 360 controller settings all set to manual.

Its very easy to run through the middle this is what you do:

While defending (from a corner from example) do not pass out of defence run with a strong defender out of the box but dont sprint and make sure a cpu player is following you. Because a man is on you the cpu ai will back off, but if am oncoming defenders tries to close the gap just knock the ball through and sprint and a player with good strength will just muscle through.

I tried changing the ai defense from wide to narrow but with little effect. To dribble well all you need to do is give defending players a slightly wider berth and change direction once in a while. Because close control is far better and player strength, means more dribbling straight through a defence is far easier.

Fifa has always had the problem of its more profitable to pick up the ball and just run with it instead of pass, fifa 08 had this problem but crossing in from wide area's actually returned more goals and was more realistic.

Has anyone not noticed that you can just run and run with the ball from defence and there are huge holes in the centre of the field to move in to?

true dat! try playing with a 3 star team against a 5 star... you will have a lot of fun!

But i find Fifa 08 was easier... fifa 09 the gameplay changed a bit. or is it that this year i finally got a controller maybe.. maybe

FFS are you lot thick there are huge holes in cpu teams defence to just run straight through its because of dimwits like you that ea dont bother doing anything about it. If you think there is not a problem EA will carry on with the ai fault. FIFA08 actually had better cpu ai defence. FIFA09 is harder to play down the wings but because of this there are now huge holes in the centre of midfield.

So, there's no point in forking out the money for Fifa 09 then?

At least with Fifa 08 on Legendary, there's a game involved.


Fck EA.

...."huge holes in the centre of midfield"... With all respect, i think you play another game, maybe Pes or Fifa 07 or 06 or 05 or 04, etc. But not FIFA 09.
Fifa 09 is a really good game. Hard and challenge, almost like FIFA 08. The AI is almost the same, more polished, nothing more.

You are obviously no good at running with the ball. It was still possible to run through the defence on FIFA08 but it is much easier on FIFA09.

I challenge you to test the game yourself seeing how far you can travel with the ball and i guarantee you will find it easy and unrealistic. On legendary i can score a goal every single game and get an opposing player sent off every single game by just running with the ball, the way FIFA09 plays actually encourages you to pick up the ball and run with it instead of pass.

^^^^^^^^^Dont knock the ball forward and sprint just run normally as a cpu player will follow and the ai will back off as they can see a man is already on you. Just aim for huge gaps as you run and if a gap starts to close then sprint forward.
