In an interview with the line producer of FIFA 09 (PS3 / Xbox360 versions), said David Rutter that finally the referee and his assistants will be on the pitch.

In FIFA 08, the referee is not visible in the game, however he appears in cinematic pictures.

In older versions of FIFA, you could see the referee during the match, but his performance had bug, so EA preferred to take out the referee and his assistants from the field in 2008's version.

In the Interview with David Rutter, which is done by FIFPlay, he also explains the key features of upcoming EA Sports FIFA 09.

Hello Mr. David Rutter I was wondering if you could fix a major bug that happens in Fifa 09

when people play international friendly matches the football players just stand in the field in the cutscene without a national anthem or confetti comihng on in the scene. Also the people who were supposed to wave flags in the background do not appear anymore.

The problem seems to be the ps3 Fifa 09 game update version 1.02

Please do players like me a favor and try to make a videogame update that could fix this major problem.
