10v10 confirmed for FIFA 09
But why not 11v11? EA tells Gamesradar whyFIFA 09 will feature 10v10 online play on Xbox 360 and PS3. David Rutter, Line Producer on the PS3/360 version told Gamesradar: “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.
UPDATE!
EA just got FIFA 09 site Live. Not too much information there but it should be flooded eventually
Enjoy!
