I did a search but didn't find a thread, if there's already one, please lock this.
As some of us would know NHL 09 has a mode where you and friends can form a club and play against other clubs, each having an individual player. For soccer fans, the same now applies for FIFA 09, with up to 10 vs 10 games, to quote IGN:
EA Sports today revealed a new online mode called FIFA 09 Clubs, designed for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, that enables gamers to form or join user-controlled 'clubs' anywhere in the world. Through FIFA 09 Clubs, gamers can form or join clubs of up to 50 friends and field their strongest team when competing in Be A Pro: 10 v 10 Online Team Play, a feature that enables 20 people on 20 different consoles anywhere in the world to connect online to play a single match of FIFA Soccer 09.
FIFA 09 Clubs will determine the best virtual team in the world. Clubs are ranked based on total points and placed in a division. Clubs are relegated and promoted to different divisions based on their performance during the season. In addition, FIFA 09 Clubs will enable Club Managers to scout rival players to identify a player that fits his or her squad, and then recruit them to join their club. Up to 10 players on a Club can participate in a single game and Clubs are able to play multiple games simultaneously if they wish.
Anyone else excited about this?

The whole world can't be playing the ice hokkiez right?
It is a neat feature, I will say that.
Also, I'm a huge Italian soccer fanboy, so the prospect of playing with Serie B teams in FIFA is too tempting. And, although I know you can do team editing, the idea of roster updates in FIFA as well as the live league updates in terms of player fitness, is convincing me to give FIFA a shot.
Realistically, I'll probably just pick up both.
I just got the demo to NHL and was insanely impressed with Be a Pro mode. I have however been waiting two years to get a next-gen ProEvo soccer game. Then again, Fifa gets better every year with Evo staying most the same (not really that bad of a thing). Hm. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I am so torn.
Man, I remember the days of being able to Mock EA anytime they released a sports game/game. Now I find myself wanting more and more EA games. STOP MAKING MY LIFE HARD WITH YOUR GOOD GAMES EA.
If you pick that name I will buy FIFA 09. Maybe. If I have spare cash. And get tired of all the other games I have now.
That is true. But, quite honestly, it doesn't change much to make it feel like Pro Evo.
Wait.. why?
Relax. I wanted to know what was going to be different with the 2009 version on Wii compared to the others. Don't get so defensive, god damn.
...And therein lies the exact reason why I decided to try the demo, and the exact reason why I will be getting NHL instead - it just doesn't feel right to me, even with the controls mapped like Pro Evo.
:^:
Pro Evo's been disappointing, it has been so good to me, and now they seem to have stopped improving altogether. FIFA on the other hand, there's been pretty real attempts to improve.
Actually, that wasn't the only bad thing. Since most people were using that weird over the shoulder camera, people couldn't defend or play laterally, and just ran straight forward doing tricks every time they got the ball.
I found it far more fun to sit at DM and tackle folks.
(Also: Pro Evolution 2009 is going to be $49.99 CDN)

Wont be a problem for us, with like 90% of the playerbase being in Europe.
But karma is a bitch though, because I'm fucking loving NHL 09 and all my Canadian friends laugh at my pitiful connection speeds. They laugh in my face.
I feel like I'm letting down an entire nation.
Though to exact revenge all I have to do is keep saying how Ice Hockey is inferior to real hockey and that gets them all up in a rage haha.
Far away from you folks, and near to people who believe that running to the ball is the answer to everything.
Do I still get this game? Will you boys reject me for my lag?
Will Penny Arcade... Hate me?
I don't know how it worked in NHL 09 teams. Did you have to pick a real life player or were you supposed to start out with a scrub you created? If real life player, I'm rolling with Alex Del Piero.
