But Fifa's live updating and all is kewl too don't forget that.
Features like 3D grass, post processing and high quality shaders are welcome features in FIFA09.
PES 2009 is much better than 2008 version though
Live updating? Do you mean the Adidas Live Season? It's nice and all, but PES had something like this even in the previous version. In Master League, the players' forms would never remain the same. Each week, the form of each player keeps changing, and it's denoted by an arrow. A red arrow means a player is in good form, a dull grey one meant a player was out of form, etc. And you didn't need an Internet connection for this. I know you'll say that in FIFA, the player forms would be updated according to their real world performances. This, I must admit, is a plus point, but, who cares? In PES too, their forms would keep changing, but not in accordance with their real world forms that's all. Adidas Live Season was hyped so much, thanks to EA's ownership of the FIFA series. PES 2009's Become a Legend mode didn't receive the kind of attention it should've received.
3D grass? For one, it's visible only when the goalkeeper takes goal kicks, and when the game is in progress as normal, it's hardly noticeable. As for the post processing and all, it does make the game look better than it's previous version, but PES 2009 still looks better. Play it, and you'll understand. Before I started playing PES, I thought FIFA ruled the roost, but then, after playing PES, I switched sides to become a PES fanboy.
No offense BTW. I know you like FIFA, but please try out PES as well.
