Ormai da diversi anni tra ottobre e novembre assistiamo al confronto tra i videogiochi calcistici per antonomasia, FIFA di Electronic Arts e PES di Konami e il 2009 sembra riservare importanti novità. Dalle ultime dichiarazioni della casa americana niente sembra lasciato al caso e in queste ore si aggiunge la conferma della possibilità di giocare 10 Vs 10 in modalità online. EA inoltre assicura che le versioni PS3 e XBOX 360 saranno praticamente identiche dal punto di vista tecnico.


FIFA 09 will feature 10v10 online play on Xbox 360 and PS3. David Rutter, Line Producer on the PS3/360 version told us: "We've managed to get 10 v 10 this year online through strength of will and technological nous. [But] we want to make sure the control system for controlling goalkeepers is compelling enough before putting it in, because no game has done it particularly well, if it's even been in there.

"So we want to make sure it's good enough before putting it in because the last thing you want to do is say "tada - 11 v 11"… and the goal keepers are rubbish."

He also told us that they have achieved parity between the two consoles, so there won't be anything visibly different on either platform. And yes, tech, fans – that means they've got anti-aliasing running in full effect on PS3.
