Instead of thinking as an individual you have to play and react as a team. Every interaction takes on an exponentially greater significance. When you get your touches at left back, for example, you know you can’t fail because you will be letting down nine human players on your team if you make a mistake. 10 match you might not necessarily be involved in the action all of the time but for the shorter moments that a real footballer would be in a football match it takes on a whole different level of stress and excitement. We envision a landscape where teams try to recruit the best players at each position to build their teams into the best in the world. We hope that the kind of guys who are very good on defense and very disciplined on defense will become a commodity that teams will want to play with and suddenly they will become very valuable.
Q: Who’s going to want to play left-back?Ī: There are a lot of people who appreciate the importance of defense on a football team as well as midfield and attack. Q: Can consumers join more than one club?Ī: No you can only be in one club at a time. There is no club spectator mode in FIFA 09. A club can be playing several matches at once based on how many members are available. Q: What happens to players who aren’t selected for the first team or the substitute’s bench? Do they watch the match in spectator mode?Ī: Instead of limiting matches based on the availability of a few club members, a club can play a match as long as 3 members are present. So if the captain does a sub, the real world player will switch to that virtual player. The outcome of the match will be based on the performance of the players on your team.Ī: The Captain can make substitutes as would be done in a normal match, but only the club members that started the match can play. The team selected will not impact the playing field, since all teams and their players will be set to the same attribute levels. However, only ten players can play for the team during a match.Ī: The Club Manager can change the club’s team at any point. Q: How many players can you recruit to your club?Ī: FIFA 09 Clubs supports up to 50 players in each club. They will hold the Division 1 - Rank 1 position. If a club has more points than the second best club in their division and more points than the last club in the division above, they will move up a division and send the last placed squad down a division.Ī: The best club will be the one with the most points. Clubs will be relegated and promoted within divisions based on their points. These clubs are ranked within divisions based on total points. If a club has more points than the second best club in their division and more points than the last club in the division above, they will move up a division and send the last placed squad down a division.Ī: FIFA 09 Clubs is a mode designed for PLAYSTATION 3 and XBOX 360 that enables gamers to form or join user-controlled ‘clubs’.
