Reasons to leave fifa 09 and back to fifa 08​

Well, after playing and playing, try and test all Games Mode, all Difficulty Levels, all official patchs, etc. I have decided to return to fifa 08. Of course Fifa 09 has much better graphics and looks really better, but it has something unforgivable, BAD A.I and DIFFICULTY LEVELS.
Others reasons :
*CPU: Bad defensive in box. Really, really poor.
*CPU: Bad defensive over the wings. Cpu players don't pressure and mark really poor
*CPU: Players only run like roadrunners with the ball. Don't build, create or generate situations intelligently.
*CPU: Not pressure to retrieve the ball.
*GoalKeepers are really poor in long shots, free kicks, 1 vs 1. Keepers are pretty stupids like Fifa 04, 05, 06 or 07.
*No matter the Difficulty level you play, is very easy to score.
*THE GAME IS TOO EASY. If you play with a great team ( Man U, Barcelona, Liverpool, Madrid, Chelsea, Milan, Inter, 4 or 5 star teams,etc ) is much more easy yet. With a poor team ( 1 or 2 star team ) is a little more hard, but not really much.
*CPU : Ball possession is ridiculous. ( like: Human 78% and Cpu 22 % )
And many other things...

I don't know why EA SPORT decreased difficulty levels. I really don't understand. If you can come back to play Fifa 08, you see a big difference.
Fifa 08 is really much harder, challenge and with better Goalkeepers. No matter which team you play.
It's a shame. EA, please, FIX THIS WITH A NEW PATCH.
Please, is a long, long season just for this....

Cheers.

Have to agree with every point here. Fifa09 is pathetic.

In my very first game, I unlocked legendary and put the goalies on pro.

I beat Arsenal 5-2.

I could just walk Torres into the box and shoot. It was a farce.

I just wasted 40 Euro.

Thank Christ Rinaldo made CM08. I've made all (or most of) this seasons lineup changes and will stick to 2008 until EA get their sh1t together for 2010.

there ARE NO reasons at all to to go back to fifa 08 fifa 08 is inferior in every way and super fake gameplay. if you like fake gameplay go back to fifa 08 if you want more realistic gameplay stay with fifa 09.

what u mean by "super fake gameplay" in fifa 08?...you think fifa 09 is more realistic?...do you think is realistic to score 10 goals per match in the max difficulty?...in fifa 09 (before second patch, i'll download these today) when u get 1on1 with the keeper you just need to press the buttom and 90% of the times the shot scores...thats why i think fifa 09(again, without the patches) is not realistic at all and bored too...i do prefer fifa 08, and must admit that some things were not that realistic...but it was a lot funnier cuz it was hard as hell to score...when I watch my football team playing an important match i never like when 1 goal comes after another...i prefer when the match is 0-0 and in 90 min comes the first score...thats how i felt fifa 08: scoring really made u feel good...but in 09 you score in everyshot u make...so whats the point in scoring 90% of the times you shoot. In Fifa 08 I remember defeating man. united 6-1 in a match and then 0-1, 2-1, 1-1, 0-0...7 goals in match happens..but not in every match...fifa 07 was awful too...matches ended 7-6, 6-6, 5-5 all the time and it was the same...shot, keeper drops the ball and the defensive players watching how the forward kicked the ball in...it seems you enjoy making dozens of goals by match...i never liked fifa games...it was too fake...but I put my hands in fifa 08 by accident and I loved it so I was disapointed yesterday when I tried Fifa 09
If you really enjoy scoring 90% of the time then its ok...its your choice...but if that makes fifa 08 a more arcadish game than fifa 09 the I prefer arcade games as long as I can enjoy the matches with my friends an feel real satisfaction when scoring...

sry for my english...not that good at it =P

Edit: keep finding mistakes...lol...sry again...

Absolutely agree. Fifa 09 is pathetic easy, with or without second patch. EA SPORTS, please, watch some football match on TV or better, go to the stadiums. Then you will see the error committed. The real football fans want a real football simulation and trust me, fifa 09 is not.

FIFA 07 can win with legendary by 5-0 or 6-0.
08 and EURO is more difficult and 09 is little bit easy.

And

09 >>>>> 10
UCL 07 >>> 07 >>>> EURO 08 >>> 08
05 >>>>>>>>>> 06
