EASports has released the Fifa 09 demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PC, while PSN is set to get it later today. The demo lets you play with six teams on three difficulties. Here's a video showing the menu mode, match mode and some penalty shoot-out in the end, played in medium difficulty. I'm impressed and like what I've seen so far, the game seems to do everything better than Euro 08 did.
La démo vous propose de jouer avec 6 équipes différentes et donne accès à trois modes de difficulté. Voici une vidéo présentant le mode 1 contre 1 du menu, un match et une séance de penalties pour finir. J'ai joué en difficulté moyenne et je dois dire que j'ai été vraiment impressionné par le jeu pour l'instant. Tout ce que Euro 08 faisait déjà très bien, Fifa 09 le fait encore mieux.

I await the PES demo now.
could be bit more responsive..if im being picky
but overal im likeing it.
much much better than 08.
roll on release
Im think im converted :) Although the PES09 video for the Champions League also looks pretty good so perhaps 2 football games are in order :)
Quick question, does this game still have the champions league in it?
PES09's newest trailer got me excited, this plays beautifully, FootballManager09 got a 3d match engine....
What a year to be a football and gaming fan! :D
Does someone know when the US update will go live because it will also include the demo..

I haven't deleted the Euro demo and playing it after playing some FIFA09 feels so much better it isn't even funny. The only thing that 09 does better than Euro is the shooting, which is considerably better. But really, if the rest of the game feels so clunky, there is just no point. These guys messed up, I don't know what was so hard about leaving what works in place rather than change it so much.
Players feel sluggish, you can barely tell when they are running, AI is a little too smart at times (cheap), they don't react to your commands, or they do so in very different ways than you intended to. Again, it's a shame since they seemed to have gotten a much better shooting this time around.

On a positive note the shooting is an improvement, as is the heading and tackling. The player faces are very accurate and detailed, as are the overall graphics and presentation. The new jostling on and off the ball feature does add to the gameplay as well.
Still, I am very disappointed.
Even the manual passing isn't as good - the power bar isn't as responsive and it isn't even that clear on the HUD at the bottom.

I've played a hell of a lot of Fifa 08 and the unresponsivness annoyed me, however 09 as I said is so much better. The pace of the game is perfect and players can actually do what I want them to do.
Really looking forward to the full game, demo is superb.
