By rights it should be running at the same kind of level as WENB. The level of interest in the new-style FIFA since last year would certainly warrant it being run at that level. If I had any spare time (and I don't) I'd offer them my services, but Chris B and Placebo seem like very able writers on the topic of FIFA. Why aren't they doing more? Are they allowed? I've been playing the FIFA09 demo again today. I said I wouldn't but I can't resist it. I've discovered another layer of depth, and started finding even the measly 2-minute matches as great as anything on FIFA08. Last night I discovered by accident that tapping the finesse shot button as a pass is on its way to one of your players will make him allow the ball to go between his legs and then turn and run with it. Not a dummy move as such, but a feint that will prove very useful online. Also started playing one-touch stuff. Loving the new response times. My advice is keep away from the PES vs FIFA discussions on the forums. They're only going to get worse as the next few weeks go by. I've seen some ignorant posts on some forums over the past few days that have literally left me open-mouthed with astonishment. Heraldo – they certainly need to pick up the pace on FSB.

You have mentioned in the past that Adam always counters Suff's enthusiasm, therefore surely he should be nowhere near the FIFA blog. The guys mentioned above are FIFA fans who constructively give criticism towards the series. Adam bans people that criticise PES at WENB but he puts the FIFA game down on the FIFA podcasts. Double standards. The only negative regarding the demo is it's too short but it has wetted my appetite for the full game. I won't be able to play online till January being back at work. I will make up for it then. Greg

You're not going to get an answer. I think WENB have made an editorial decision to be adversarial between themselves on the subject of FIFA, and both suitably faithful to PES. That's fine, really - although I think the FIFA Soccer Blog could use a little more love and attention from them. I'm curious about PES2009 and I want it to be good. A HD version of PS2-era PES would be acceptable to me right now. Whether it would last a year's play, or even a few months, who knows? FIFA09 is sublime, what I've seen of it. I actually can't wait to play it online with custom tactics. heraldo – I bet the WENB boys get at least a hundred mails every day like that. You’re not going to get an answer.

How can these guys get away with it, year after year? FIFA 09 is what football should be all about. Tried to contact Mr Adam from WENB asking him to explain the FIFA demo, always contradicting SUFF at every opportunity. But as usual no reply. Typical of a fanboy, do not slag PES but it's ok 2 slag off FIFA. DICK!! CMON Suff get rid of this guy Hi Greg
