ive been playing Fifa 09 today, long shots are better but they've made it harder to keep possesion I think. I imagine once you are used to it it will be fine but it seems quite difficult at the minute.
Things that I have noticed that are different:
Ball swerve - is now ridiculous, it swerves so much really late on
Long shots - much improved
Headers - again improved you have to time your leaps for the ball and you can actually contest against other players
Dribbling - seems harder might just be because defenses are better
First touch actions - much better on 08 you try to volley the ball and 9 out of 10 times you sky it, seems to be better controlled on this one
Overall I can see it being an improvement, im really looking forward to it though!
