Rain and snow matches can be played from Kick-off mode, however there are no weather effects in Manager Mode. New goalkeeper technology has also been added which allows for better positioning, better reactions to saves, and faster recovery after a save has been made.Ī further improvement from FIFA 08 is the weather and time.

Īmong the improvements in the new FIFA are improved responsiveness that allows for quicker release of the ball, greater urgency in off-the-ball running, a new jostle system that takes into account the strength of the players when going shoulder-to-shoulder, and subtle animations that enable players to take first-time shots.Īnother of the edition's biggest changes is a completely revamped collision system, which calculates speed, weight, and power when the players collide, as each player will have their own individual strength and power statistics depending on their body characteristics. It has been stated in an interview with game producer David Rutter that there are over 250 improvements in the game.
