FIFA 08 Official Thread

The goalkeepers still seem to be like brick walls, and stop everything that goes near them, and it is almost impossible to do someone for pace as well. However, the realism more than makes up for these minor problems.

A well timed and well placed Finesse shot makes beating keepers easier than trying a low belter from close range. For anyone thats having difficulty scoring :)

Its a lot harder this year to score outside the box... I've had a couple of screamers though.

Got a beauty last night, edge of the box and chipped the keeper... Rooney-esque.

I actually scored from a cross last night... litterally... I crossed it in, timed it wrong and it went off at an angle... keeper was way out of position and it went in the top right corner!

Absolute stunner of a goal... if I'd meant it of course :o

You guys dont upload these goals??

Also, do you guys skip past the replays of the goal then go to instant replay to get your goal? Its odd that that you cant specifically save your goal.

Does it make a difference I don't have an Xbox Live Gold account...?

I've got a silver account.

TBH when I'm in the middle of a game I don't think 'Awesome goal... I'll spend the next 5 minutes uploading it'... I want to finish the game, ya know?

Other than that, my experience with EA's uploading and online video servers have been diabolical - so unless they've made it easier and quicker I'm not that bothered.

If there was a way to upload the goals after a game then it would be more tempting :)
 
Gah, Sarah scored a beauty of a freekick last night and I uploaded it. Checked it now and the ball starts in the back of the net and then straight to kick off.

Nokkon, how did you manage to upload your replay? I've watched some other vids on EA Sports World and other players have done the same as me!

With PES once you've scored you see the replay in various angles then it goes to a manual camera angle and here is where you can save the goal. You can do this in the training sessions with Ronaldinho but I can't seem to do it in game?

Calm down, Chief. Takes 20 seconds to upload a goal, its pretty pointless describing the goal on here when you could just upload it and show us ;)

Calm down :confused: I'm not ranting at all, just asking if I can still do it on a silver account :confused:

As I said, Skate's (whilst being a beautiful game) upload facility is terrible and 9 times out of 10 your video can't be found on EA's servers. So I haven't tried FIFA's goal uploading simply out of fear of it being the same thing.

Wait 3-5 minutes for the 360 to capture the video, another 3-5 minutes uploading... search EA's servers for your video and it's not there.

As you said, if it is only 20 seconds or so and it doesn't interrupt gameplay, and it doesn't matter I've only got a silver account then fair enough. Next decent goal I score will be uploaded tonight :)

New alternative should map them correctly, mate.

It does on the 360, wouldn't of thought it would be different on the PS but I maybe wrong.

Thanks for the reply mate.

Is anyone else having problems mapping the controls on PS3 so its the same as PES? I've tried all 4 configurations and I'm sure it doesnt work. The player switching and sprint buttons aren't correct. Thanks.
 
I haven't played Skate but uploading videos on FIFA just go straight into your profile on EA Sports World. Seems rather easy although the website is still in Beta stages.

Still, I hope someone can sort my replay problems in game.
 
I'm just looking at the EA Sports World website, it doesn't seem to work too well...

Edit : There we go, just gotta wait for it all to load. :)

Hmmm just had the first quitter of the day.

Was winning 2-0

Poor, very poor. I hope it classes it as a win for me.

Edit: It has, wooop! :D
 
Although you got your win, Its really annoying when someone gives in after conceeding 2 goals.. If im 2-0 down I want to change my formation and make a comeback!
