I'm Yet to buy mine(Fifa). My last one was 2008. I did bought PES2009 though, didn't like it much. They should go back to WE 9, the best one, to see were they (Konami) screw up.

dude you chose the wrong time to stop Fifa! Fifa 09 was amazing, and Fifa 10 is even more complete. seriously these last 2 iterations have torn PES to shreds(and i used to be a PES maniac)

It deserves to see the 26% increase in sales, the franchise really has been improving in quality exponentially over the past few years. The dynamics of the game improved so much and many of the new features offer great gameplay such as online matches.

I imagine that this year it has eaten into Pro Evo's share of the market.

Nice great for Fifa. it deserves it.

Hey, I didn't stop Fifa, I keep playing 2008 till today. The problem is, the PC version, unfortunatelly is nothing compared to consoles and a PS3 game in Brasil is over US$ 120,00. I won't spent that much money on a game. BTW, I usually don't buy yearly iterations, cause the changes and improvements are not enough to validate a purchase, IMO. So try to get it once every two years, or even more .

Mmm my bad then. Fifa 2009 on the PC wasnt half as good as it was on the consoles. However that said, Fifa 2009 was a major jump from 08, so i'd recommend you trying the latest version
