New Collision and Shielding Systems
Designed with a new 360-degree collision and shielding systems-representing the biggest innovations to the game engine in four years-FIFA 09 delivers more responsive, intelligent and realistic physical action than ever before. The combination of these enables players to behave according to their physical attributes. Player speed, direction and strength now determine everything from the severity of the collision to the outcome of possession. Plus, contact occurs with shoulders, arms and legs. Stronger players possess the strength to knock down smaller players or use their body and arms to shield the ball in challenges. These changes to the animation system reward the skillful gamer during one-on-one situations between attackers and defenders. Tuned acceleration attributes enable swifter players to possess quicker first steps and gain advantage in sprints.

PC-Specific Controls
FIFA 09 also features new customizable mouse and keyboard controls that deliver deeper, more intuitive command over your squad for more fluid soccer action. Now utilize the mouse as a point-and-click tool to send teammates on runs, make pinpoint accurate passes, and blast powerful shots on target. Plus, you have the tools to draw up trick moves using the mouse or perform one of 32 skill moves in your arsenal, including new scoop turns, rainbow flicks, heel-to-heel knocks and ball rolls just like Ronaldinho.
