World Soccer Winning Eleven 2009

Corner kicks finally feel rewarding instead of a coin toss, and the ball physics off the crossbar are spot on. I’ve sunk a full evening into friendly matches and the pace of play just clicks.

The offside detection system is a real game-changer, making those tactical plays actually feel legitimate. It's finally rewarding to work the ball down the wing for a cross, just like in a real match.

Corners finally feel like they've been fixed — I've actually scored a few headers from near-post runs that used to always sail wide. The offside system is smarter too, though it still trips up now and then.
