Soccer games are the most popular in europe. Apparently EA had a big marketing push by showcasing a demo of Fifa 09 featuring the players of Manchester United and Real Madrid.
In the promotional video you can see Wayne Rooney and Manchester United against Gonzalo Higuaín and Real Madrid with the Manchester United team made up of Wayne Rooney and 9 of the best football gamers in the world.

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (French for International Federation of Association Football).
Its in the games name title :D
number of words used in wikipedia "soccer" page
Football = over 100 times
Soccer = 20 times.
Football is more common word outside US
Everywhere else who mentions the word football knows they are talking about the greatest sport ever created. I dont understand why americans call Football a game they play with their hands. Anyways we teh world recognize the original football.
"Actually in American Football they do use their feet to punt, field goal, safety kick and kick it off."
Yeah, same as rugby.
that's a really effective ad. Glad to see EA using ps3 this year.
EA using Xbox 360 and NFL stars to promote Madden in America.
ps3 has outsold x360 this year. 2m vs 1.7m
ps3 sells as much as the x360 in usa.ps3 could win the XMAS based on their strong fall lineup
also ps3 will win in usa by the end of this gen. You are clearly delusional if you believe that x360 will win in USA at the end of this gen
However in europe its ps3 all the way. same goes to Japan(ps3 and wii only)
TGSI
wow, big punch in the 360's face.
fifa is gonna sell sh!t loads is europe on ps3 and the bots will be crying
add LBP worldwide: ouch!
add Resistance2 worldwide: re-ouch!
add FF13 in japan: mega-ouch!
ouch ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouch ouch ouch
ouch ouch ouch ouch
;D
no offense but it is very logical to do that in europe and Japan --places where apparently the console war is confined to just ps3 and wii
in europe ps3 and wii are agonizingly close in terms of monthly console sales
by the end of this year
WKS will also give ps3 a monumental advantage and surge in Japan
I guess SONY isnt focusing too much on USA at the moment cuz ps3 already has a super strong lineup for Fall in USA spearheaded by LBP and Motorstorm 2
Soccer video game?
Haha, looks like everyone was having a good time.
Just a soccer game soo eff off.
And I'm American So I call it soccer? Got a problem? I dont care.
Yes Futball or European football is probably life for many Europeans but I wish you would realize that the real sport is a lot better.
I should know.
It's realise not realize ;)
It's football. end of. Rugby>football>American football.
every single country outside the US recognizes football for a sport where you move a ball with your feet therefor logically it is called football unlike americans calling football a game they play with their hands, very creative. The world is much bigger than the US, you should travel and see just how small your little world actually is. Rugby came before your "football" btw.
It's a video game get over it.
The real sport of soccer, or as Europeans and the rest of the world calls it, football is a lot more fun than a video game!
Effin Christ you people are retarded.
I said the real sport of soccer is a lot better than a video game!
actually they are calling it soccer as well in japan.
It's actually "Realise" for some regions of the world. So, do some research pal.
it's a fact that Japanese do call it soccer! but whatever makes the disagree phantom happy!
in the half time break between chelski and manure.
Gooners top Scum bottom FTMFW
on topic: a great ad. it would have loved to have been there watching them film it.
no fabregas and only arsenal play playstation football
Gooners FTW
Nice job EA. PS is a true home of football game.
PES doesnt seem to be next gen yet and I like the way fifa 09 plays. Hopefully PES will have soemthing to compete againts FIFA next year so we can have another great football game to play.
FIFA on the PS3 will have most robust lag-free online and will be running smoothly.The limitations of the 360 DVD9 will make jaggies and framerate slowdown on the 360 an unavoidable encounter.
Never use faulty products like RROD360.. they'll just die on you while they show off thier stuff.
PS3 is waaayy more reliable..
Go cry about it Xbots XD
No worries.The doors of Sony Computer Entertainment will always be open.
i say we should have some N4G tournie when it comes out. anyone in?
stoke city.........lol
with the other top teams drawing its been a good weekend for the gooners. The y*d*s at the foot is the icing on the cake.

yeh spurs should be ashamed!
sorry Americans but football (or soccer as you know it) is the biggest sports game in the world hands down, your football as you call it doesn't even hold a candle outside NA. PS3 FTW !!!
its nothing to be ashamed of. Its gripping once you get into it.
the MLS is poor league compared to europe
