FIFA 08 Official Thread

Try manual through balls which will help you a bit in that area (although they are far from perfect). Personally I find spreading the play does a good job of opening up space and a good one two (lt+A in my case) can get you in the box. Other than that pop off some long shots and bang in some crosses. Persevere mate.

Davey I agree that the energy thing is pants and infact its abit more fun in cup mode where its turned off.

lol, I deleted over 50 people from my friends list because I was sick of them popping up all the time :P. Definitely up for playing you though.

It's poor (in any game) that you have to swap large chunks of your team out because they tire too quickly. It doesn't happen in real life (unless you're Rafa Benitez) so it shouldn't happen in a game. The Master League in PES did this as well and I thought it was crap there too so I turned the enegy depletion off :)

Couldn't agree more. ;)

I tend to have to swap large parts of the team out at a time as well, although 1 games rest is generally more than enough recovery time.

To be honest every game I've ever played that has tried to force squad rotation has overdone it, it's one of the reasons Football Manager became less fun. Whilst squad rotation is a reality in modern day football, it's debatable whether or not it's a necessity, and certainly not to the extent that some games take it.

For example there are many real life players who almost never miss a game (I think Lampard once went 1 or 2 seasons without missing a game), this just would not be possible in FIFA. It is a minor annoyance, but definately one I can live with. Gives some of my younger players the chance to earn exp points anyway.

I'll play you next time we're both on if you like. I've got quite a few decent goals saved now as well (Including a Ronaldo free kick bent round the wall) any chance you could upload them?
 
Wanna set it up?

Just playing Portsmouth and Calamity James is really living up to his name. 2-0, in no mans land on a cross for the first, second was a pee roller that he let slip underneath him. :D
 
 
hey,

i'm pretty new to this whole xbox live thing, looking for some people to play or get into a league thing, anybody want to help a newbie out.

my gamertag is dannyboy2304.

cheers
 
Still loving this online.

Just had a ranked game, the guy was Liverpool, I chose Arsenal, thought it would be fitting for this day.

He went 3-0 up first half, got two back in the second half and equilised in the 90th minute :D Managed to get another two in ET too! Woop!
 
Going on from the previous post...
FIFA is ridiculous with the MOTM lark, but this one takes the biscuit...Just beat some 5-3, Eduardo got four, yet Van Persie got MOTM with no goals, no shots. Explain!
 
It's not just MOTM that are daft, I've had Park Ji Sung in the team of the year, despite the fact that he never actually put in a single minute for me. Also once had a bid of £54m for Ronaldo - from Crystal Palace. :eek:
 
Will be people be interested in a league if I create one?

I kind of want to play against some of you guys (I'm not the good mind) but thought maybe if we got a few people into an ingame league it coule be quite good.
