FIFA 08 Official Thread

]

With the official release of FIFA 08 today, I thought it would be a good idea to have one thread for all FIFA related info. To get the ball rolling (excuse the pun) here are a few useful links (well, opne useful link):

Xbox 360 Achievement list

I hope this doesn't turn into a FIFA vs PES war. This is one year where I will be getting both as they both have their good points

Well I know you haven't asked this to be turned into a war, but I have bought FIFA08 this morning knowing that I will only have it a month when it will be traded in for PES2008.

I'll give it a chance and see how it goes in the meantime. Got back home with only to find the sneaky shop guy had given me a box which had been smashed to bits :mad:

Anyway I cba going all the way back into town to get it replaced so just stuck it in another case.

Will probably be up for some online games after a bit of practice.

Getting mine tonight, gave some of my old games to my friend, she's gonna trade them in and get me a staff discount on it so it should only cost me £30 less traded games.

Can't wait.

I have a £30 voucher which I got as a present when I left my last job so will be picking it up for £9.99..........result

NokkonWud · 28 Sep 2007 at 12:32

I think you should have given it to me. I'd have gotten it for free then

I'm glad some of the achievements have been put on harder difficulties, my pet-hate of Fifa 07 was that half of the achievements were on Semi-Pro and I always played on World Class or Legendary (whatever the hardest was).

If I turned it down to Semi-Pro I'd end up winning 10-0 and Man of the Match would always be a striker... making it damned hard to get 50 Defender MoTM awards.

Got it yesterday after preordering it from a highstreet retailer online (£34.99 using an online voucher code

). One word for this game: Awesome. Coming from Pro Evo 5 and 6 I thought I'd naturally be going for PES2008 and that FIFA would be a pile of turd. I was wrong.

Graphics and gameplay both great, I'm finding it pretty difficult to score on Pro difficulty whereas I'd be knocking 3-5 in a game on World Class on Pro Evo, so I'm liking the extra challenge. It's also nice to play with teams using the official kits. Not essential to a game, but a nice touch.

At the moment I can't recommend this game enough.

Has anyone tried uploading any goal replays to the EA servers yet? If so post some here

Phil99 · 28 Sep 2007 at 12:56

Ooh, didn't know you could do that. Scored an awesome one with Pennant vs Chelsea yesterday as well :cool:

Froomer · 28 Sep 2007 at 12:56

Just bought it from Harvest is when I need you the most. Only one more season. This year we'll make enough on the harvest so I'll be able to hire some more hands. And then you can go to the Academy next year. :confused:

Will play when I get home.
Demo seemed ok. Liked the left trigger right analogue tricks.

No competitors.

I read that you can. I haven't got the full game yet though so not 100% sure.

Yeah you can - can only keep up to 5 at a time (i think) but you can download them to your pc to keep.

LOL... although my post has been edited because I broke forum rules..(sorry :mad:

Rapacious · 28 Sep 2007 at 13:17

My 360 Elite arrived today, and my FIFA08 arrived the day before. (Freebie site, dont ask - cant complain really.)

Hearing a great deal of positive comments regarding FIFA08, can't wait to get home from work and see if it lives up to the hype

Froomer · 28 Sep 2007 at 13:21
