Here are some new details of FIFA 09 from the FIFA soccer blog:

1. Be a pro is 4 seasons offline

2. They have a new EA locker where the game tactics and formations an stuff by the fans can be exchanged!

3. They are also implementing a new online rule for quitters. If you quit in the first 3 minutes no penalty. Quit between 3 and 5 minutes you get a DNF and quit after 5 minutes you get a 5 minute loss and a really bad rating.

4. Collision system is phenomenal! You really have to see it in action.

5. New jostling system is also amazing.

6. Ball physics and passing is improved drastically.

7. The pace of the game is much better.

8. The manager mode is pretty much the same, as well the edit mode.

9. There will be some major announcements at Leipzig about the exclusive ps3 mode.

10. Player fatigue has been improved.

I wonder what they mean by "The pace of the game is much better." Faster pace, Slower pace? I found Fifa 08 too slow to start with, but once I got used to it I preferred it to the previous high pace of the 07 and previous games. Maybe it could do with being a little bit faster, but I hope they don't return it to fifa 07 speed.

Probably just the "right amount" of pace, so a bit faster than 08.

I like how the games seems so far.  I'll have to play the demo first to test it out though.
