I believe this is EA’s great achievement in FIFA 09 - there’s nothing you can’t do with the mouse in terms of passing. This will make the forward change direction and hopefully loose his marker and the player with the ball will send it right in his path so he can bear down on goal. I can point the cursor to the center of the pitch, several yards away from the forward and press the Player Run key and right after that the Pass button. He is running from the center to the left wing and a defender is covering him. Let’s say I’ve got the ball on the counter and I’ve got a forward in front of me.

And this right here is what I love about FIFA 09. If you point the cursor at an empty space on the pitch and press the Player Run key, the nearest player to that spot will head in that direction. If you press the Player Run key when the cursor is pointed at one of your players, he will start a run, much like he would in FIFA 08. You have probably noticed that the cursor changes when you have pointed it at a player. In FIFA 09 you can do the exact same thing with the mouse. In FIFA 08 you made a player start a run off the ball, by pointing him and pressing the Player Run key. This means that you can put the ball exactly on the spot occupied by the cursor by a single click of the left mouse button (the default key for Pass). The ball can be kicked in any angle, not only the 8 angles players are limited to. The farther the cursor is from the player, the more weight the pass will have. The player will pass the ball in the direction of the cursor. Of course it can’t be used in all situations as you will sometimes need to anticipate the opponent’s next move and position the defender strategically, rather than just run after the ball. This takes care of all the dirty work in defense. Just like in FIFA08, when you hold down your Conservative Tackle key, the defenders will automatically embark on a collision course with the ball - the mouse only needs to point vaguely in the same direction as the opposing player with the ball. The awkwardness is most noticeable in defense, where I make my favorite players run around like headless chickens, but fortunately there is a solution at hand. It is a bit awkward at first, but I’m rather getting used to it. Like in previous FIFA games, the players may only run in 8 directions - left, right, up, down and the 4 diagonals. For example, if the cursor is in front of him, he will run forward if it’s to his right, he’ll turn right. Your player will move in the direction of the cursor. The other option is to use the mouse to move.

And, for me at least, it’s very uncomfortable to use those two fingers for modifiers while all the others are pressing hard on the movement keys. So, just like the janitor’s wife from Scrubs, all I’ve got left are my thumb and pinkie. This means that my three middle fingers can’t be used for anything else. Let me tell you why I don’t like that setup.Īlmost every action in FIFA 09 requires me to press or hold at least one movement key. In the default settings the WASD keys are used to move the players.

The first one lets you use the keyboard to move. There are two ways to play with the keyboard and the mouse.

The mouse gives PC users the ability to put the ball exactly where they want it and commandeer their players like never before. More than that, I dare say they’ve built FIFA 09 around it. EA have reintroduced the mouse to the FIFA series.
