Great gameplay, lacks some basic features
I love the gameplay of Fifa09 for Wii, especially when on advanced controls. You can play in any league with any team, or just play in "kickoff" mode for a quick game with friends. Manager mode is quite fun, as you can control a team's tactics, scouting, and transfers for up to 15 seasons. Or you can switch to a different team between seasons. You can play as many games as you like in manager mode and tournament mode and simulate the games you don't want to play. The only drawback I noticed was the lack of some basic features like PK shootout or free kick practice games. Even World Cup 98 for N64 had these features. There is a little training game where you sort of get to practice some of these things, but you can't play against another person. 8v8 Footie party is a fun alternative to 11 on 11 with similar gameplay. Graphics are pretty good. Recommended if you enjoy soccer video games.
