With that said, just one game was enough for me to determine that the pace of the game and spacing of players was better than the dozen of games I spent with the first PSP FIFA (I am taking a pass on FIFA 06).<\/p>\n<p>Believe me, I have done plenty of FIFA justification over the years, but WE9 is a whole new type of soccer \u2013 fans of soccer and portable gaming should be pretty happy.  I lost my first game (US vs. Poland) 0-1 pretty handedly.  I hardly had any build-up, possession, or shots on goal.  I blame that on not reading the game, and trying to figure out the controls on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>On a non-gameplay note, the load times seem rather long.  Getting into the game takes a while, and pausing the game to get to the various option screens took several seconds.  I have not seen this in any other PSP games, but there is an option to save battery life \u2013 looks like it turns off music, crowd noise, and maybe other secondary sound items.  I used to have time to figure out if we were talking about a few minutes of battery life, or gaining an extra hour; will be interesting to see what the die-hards find.<\/p>\n<p>More to come as I have more time to play and post.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a few minutes to get in a quick game, which is certainly not enough to judge the game as a whole.
