Play FIFA 09 (EU) Online
Tight matches on the DS—slide tackles feel crunchy, last-minute equalizers hit hard, and swapping formations actually matters. Commentary’s cheesy but the AI keeps you honest.
Game Overview
FIFA 09 on the DS is one of those games that shouldn’t work as well as it does—but somehow, it nails the feel of football on a tiny screen. You’ve got all the big teams, decent controls (for a handheld), and matches that actually feel tense when you’re down a goal in the 80th minute. The graphics are obviously scaled back, but the animations are smooth, and the commentary, while repetitive, adds just enough flavor.
What surprised me was how much strategy you can actually fit in here. Switching formations mid-game or tweaking your lineup isn’t just window dressing—it actually changes how your team plays. And yeah, the AI isn’t perfect, but on higher difficulties, it’ll punish you for sloppy passes. If you’ve got a DS and even a passing interest in football, this one’s a solid time-killer.
