This week (no specific date for now) that should be available for download a first update to FIFA 09 (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360). Here is an overview of improvements made by developers at Electronic Arts:
Fixed side-stepping issue on lofted through balls
Fixing this issue, where a player sidesteps when trying to control a lofted through ball instead of running straight onto it and controlling it, was a top priority for the EAC development team. We're happy to say the team has been able to fix this problem and it will be included in the game update.
Improved advantage rule: Fixed goals being called back for free kicks
There was a problem in the advantage rule whereby the referee would call back a goal if it was scored when advantage was being played. Instead, the referee would give a free kick or a penalty kick to the fouled player. This issue has been resolved in the game update. Goals that are going in when a foul is committed will count when they score.
Improved number assigning in Manager Mode
When signing a player in Manager Mode the player now makes a more sensible decision on what shirt number he would like based on his position, whereas previously he would always take the number 2.
Allowed up to eight user-controlled teams in Tournament Mode
After installing the game update it will be possible to play in Tournament Mode with up to eight user-controlled teams. Now you can host bigger events with your friends to compete in offline-tournaments. Have fun!
Removed ability to bring custom teams into online ranked matches
Everybody has the option to transfer players into his favourite team and create his own custom dream team. This is an option we want to offer everybody,,so they can enjoy the feeling of creating their own teams and playing matches with them online or offline. When it comes to ranked competitive online matches, however, we think only real teams should compete against each other to keep everybody's chances even. So with the update it is no longer possible to enter a ranked match with a custom created team. You will still be able to customise the starting line-up of teams when playing online, though.
Fixed Stadium 23.Maj lag issue
We fixed a major frame rate issue in the 23.Maj stadium.
Fixed join issue in Online Team Play Lobbies
A game-hang issue that occurred during a search for available OTP game sections within the lobby rooms has been resolved.
