With the Euro 2008 tournament having come to a close over the weekend it is clear that EA has shifted their soccer marketing focus exclusively to FIFA 09.

Probably the most interesting piece of information to come out of these fact sheets is the announcement of a PC version of FIFA 09 that "now features leading-edge visuals that deliver graphics that exploit the power of hi-spec gaming PCs". Turns out PC sports gaming is not completely dead at EA after all.

 

PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 Feature More Than 250 Core Gameplay Enhancements That Deliver Most Responsive, Intelligent and Realistic Action Ever

 

GUILDFORD, UK. – July 1, 2008 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed it has created platform specific experiences for its popular FIFA 09 football franchise from EA SPORTS™. FIFA 09 has been designed and customized to deliver a unique gameplay experience that takes advantage of the hardware specifications of each available platform— the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system, Wii™ home video game system, PC, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS™, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and mobile—when it is released worldwide this autumn.

 

“We have listened and responded to gamers and football fans around the world by building customized gameplay experiences for FIFA 09 on each platform,” said Andrew Wilson, Vice President & Executive Producer for the franchise. “Everyone wants to play a football game that is customized to their system and delivers a unique and enjoyable experience. We understand that and have innovated features, created new modes and designed controls that are tailored to each specific platform.”

 

With over 250 additions and enhancements to core gameplay, FIFA 09 on the PLAYSTATION 3 system and Xbox 360 deliver an authentic football simulation that enables you to customize the game to suit your style and ability. New animation technology creates more responsive first-time shooting and passing, faster and more controlled dribbling, and improved trapping. New player momentum physics, which exploits the power of these platform engines, delivers realistic player collisions, authentic jostling for the ball, and more variation in tackling.

 

“We listened to our consumers to make the changes that they wanted,” said David Rutter, Producer of FIFA 09 on the PLAYSTATION 3 system and Xbox 360. “No other game has over 250 feature changes and additions focused on improving core gameplay. We have an absolutely authentic recreation of the real sport through attention to detail.”

 

For the first time, go inside the game engine to customize the strategy and positioning of your teammates to decide exactly how your team will play in any situation. With new Custom Team Tactics you have all the tools to become a first-team coach. Adjust and customize tactical settings so CPU players and your team perform just like the real-world team plays and make strategic decisions to exploit your opponent’s weaknesses, all on-the-fly. The popular feature innovation Be A Pro has expanded to a career mode called Be A Pro: Seasons where you can choose or create a professional player and then develop his skills at a single outfield position over four years with the ultimate goal of becoming a national legend. The matchday experience is now true-to-life with a referee and linesmen on the pitch. Plus, crowds, stadium atmosphere and commentary have all been regionalized in exact detail.

 

On the Wii, enjoy FIFA 09 All-Play one of two ways—a Wii-specific take on the authentic ‘11 vs. 11’ simulation or over-the-top ‘8 vs. 8’ arcade action within a stylized environment with Mii™ versions of your favorite superstars, like Ronaldinho and Wayne Rooney. Refined motion and point-and-play controls make playing FIFA 09 All-Play even more intuitive and perfectly balanced for gamers of any ability to enjoy fun, football action. Choose to play the style that best suits your skills from advanced controls for experienced players to new EA SPORTS™ All-Play controls that enables novice players to focus on fun using simplified controls with AI assistance.

 

“You’ve never played football like this before,” said Kaz Makita, Line Producer of FIFA 09 All-Play. “Our new ‘8 vs. 8’ Footii Match enables you to play an exaggerated style of football where the personality of your Mii comes to life. You can play with your Mii characters against or alongside some of the biggest stars in a truly unique football experience tailored specifically for the Wii version of FIFA 09.”

 

FIFA 09 on PC now features leading-edge visuals that deliver graphics that exploit the power of hi-spec gaming PCs, as requested by PC gamers. Star players are featured in photorealistic quality with remodeled likenesses for ultra-realistic gameplay. FIFA 09 on PC also features customizable mouse gameplay controls that deliver deeper, more intuitive command over your squad. Plus, customizable widgets are now integrated into the menu system to connect you to the FIFA community and real-world football so you stay connected while playing FIFA 09.

 

“We are committed to investing and innovating to create a PC specific experience,” said Producer Paul Hossack. “Gamers want a gameplay experience exclusively for PC and FIFA 09 on PC delivers this.”

 

With 500 new animation sequences and all-new collision and shielding systems—representing the biggest innovations to the multiplatform EA SPORTS football engine in four years— FIFA 09 delivers more responsive, intelligent and realistic physical action on the PlayStation 2 system. The new collision detection system with 360 degree coverage enables players to behave according to their physical attributes where player speed, direction and strength determine everything from the severity of the collision to the outcome of possession. Changes to the animation system reward the skillful gamer during one-on-one situations between attackers and defenders. Tuned acceleration attributes enable swifter virtual players to possess quicker first steps and gain advantage in sprints. Plus, four new skill moves—scoop turns, rainbow flicks, heel-to-heel knocks and ball rolls—give you a total of 32 tricks in your arsenal to perform just like Ronaldinho.

 

FIFA 09 on the PSP system and Nintendo DS now include the innovative Be A Pro feature, including the unique Be A Pro camera that re-creates the rush and excitement of racing in on goal, designed exclusively for each system.

 

Additional major feature innovations for PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360 and PC will be revealed later this month and announced at the Leipzig Games Convention in August. Screenshots and product fact sheets can be downloaded at www.electronicarts.co.uk/press.

    • First, you need to understand what you're doing and what you want to achieve. You have to choose a server core. After that, decide what you want your server to include, code it, modify the client to fit your server, go public, and drink champagne.   If you know how to code, creating a server is relatively easy — a few months of work and you can make it happen. Modifying the client is a completely different story. There’s a lack of tutorials, tools, and source materials. I’m currently working on the client myself, and I’ve already spent over three weeks just trying to get started due to the lack of information. If you don’t have the knowledge and experience, you’ll need a team and a bag of money — but realistically, it just won’t succeed.
    • The server has been online and stable for over 2 months now, and we’re still going strong! No wipes, no shortcuts ~ just continuous work, daily fixes, events, and improvements to ensure the best possible experience.   Great News! 🔥 CHAPTER II IS COMING — GRACIA FINAL 🔥 On February 16, L2Elixir enters a new era. The server will be officially updated to Gracia Final, opening Chapter II of our journey. Expect new content, improvements, and surprises that will refresh the gameplay while keeping the classic Gracia Final spirit alive.   More challenges, more competition, and more reasons to log in.   📅 Update Date: February 16 ⚔️ Chapter II: Gracia Final This is not a reset. This is evolution.   Prepare yourselves — Chapter II begins soon.   Website: https://l2elixir.org/ Discord: https://discord.gg/5ydPHvhbxs    
    • Server owners, Top.MaxCheaters.com is now live and accepting Lineage 2 server listings. There is no voting, no rankings manipulation, and no paid advantages. Visibility is clean and equal, and early listings naturally appear at the top while the platform grows. If your server is active, it should already be listed. Submit here 👉https://Top.MaxCheaters.com This platform is part of the MaxCheaters.com network and is being built as a long-term reference point for the Lineage 2 community. — MaxCheaters.com Team
    • Hello! We are Genesis, small team that works on new Lineage 2 project. Our goal with this project is to create a fresh new place to play — built around real community feedback, with no aggressive pay-to-win donations and with carefully thought-out quality-of-life improvements, balance changes etc. We believe that even tho we all love this game, everyone has at least one or two things they would like to change in the game to make it more enjoyable. Thats why we want the comunity feedback to shape our server. Main information about the server: • Interlude Classic version • Rates: EXP x4 SP x2 Loot x2, Spoil x2 (not set in stone, might be changed) • Local & Server-Side Dualbox Protection • Complete, Clear Website with Integrated Account Panel (Game account creation, direct communication with support, bug reporting, voting and reward system) • Launcher – External Game Login System: manage all your accounts inside the launcher, “Play” button logs you directly into the game server Here are list of few changes we already added/decided to add to the server: • Reworked Client to fit interlude Era with upgraded Classic Ui • Custom Antibot system • Custom AntiDualBox System • Offline shops • Offline shop with buffs (available only in towns) • Mass Sweeper added to the game • Newbie buffs available all the way to lvl 76 (nothing crazy, but its free) • Slight balance change to Destroyer damage with Polearm and Cancel spell from SPS • PvP zones on every Epic spawn spot • Overbuffing blocked • And more! Since we put big focus on community feedback and suggestions, we are looking for people for our internal tests, that will discuss whether current changes „fit” into the game and maybe suggest some changes themselves. If what you’ve just read sounds interesting to you, if you want to help creating server fitted for you, join our server Discord. Help us to understand what Lineage 2 players in 2026 actually expect and need — so we can meet those expectations and avoid becoming just another server that dies a natural death.     Even if you’re not interested in playing right now, but you are a long-time Lineage 2 player, feel free to join our community. We would greatly appreciate your experience and feedback to help us improve and develop our project.
