FIFA 09, Electronic Arts latest addition to its ongoing football franchise, has finally been granted a street date, with the game due to hit all major consoles on October 9.
In the wake of Pro Evolution's turbulent transition to the current generation of consoles, EA's FIFA series has stolen the accolades, and many are expecting this year's iteration to further cement its reputation as the best football game on the market.
"We've made over 250 improvements from last year and we wanted to give the team the time they needed to make the best FIFA game possible," said the game's senior product manager Trevor Uzice as its release date was revealed by MCV.
Take a look at our first peek at the game, and expect more fulsome impressions on the eve of the impending football season.
