FIFA 08 Official Thread

Scored a good un' with Rooney, now if only I could show it to you.. its on the website but I've no idea how to link it :p
 
Still feels sluggish was hoping the final game would be a bit more pacey but it's not that much different from the demo, most of the players really look nothing like in real life and why has some teams not got the sponsors? Crossing still feels very strange like the balls turns into a beach ball in the air, AI seems ok, stick to their formation, don't seem to run into space too often though unless you manually set them on a run.

Should fill in the month till Pro Evo, but it's still not that good IMO, was either Fifa or Sega Rally, kind of regret my choice now.

Its excellent. Had a night match Leeds Vs. Boro, won it on penaltys, felt so real!

Commentary is really good how Tyler goes on about off the field things like about Leeds misfortunes ;)

And the classic Andy Gray "Yu Dont stop those!"

Trying Be a Pro now, its really good, cant wait for the online mode.

As St Mirren i only have two players in my team with commentary, Will Haining (married to Michelle Marsh) and Craig Dargo, ex Inverness and Killie. :mad:
 
so what would people rate this? Ive still gotta wait till tommorow to get it, im a long term PES fan so im interested to see how this will play, havent played a fifa game in agggges.


edit: Three questions:

One thing in the last fifa game i played (05 i think :p) i found it really hard to do powerful long range shots, now i understand its rare, and should be rare in a game for long range shots to go in, but is it actually possible for the occasional paul scholes screamer :p?

When is the new patch coming out with the new be a pro stuff?

This does have an edit mode doesnt it? Im not sure since i havent played fifa in ages.

Enjoying it so far, just doing a few challenges to get my head round it all again!

Good commentary with some off field bits mentioned, scary fact is as soon as i played a home match as Newcastle, then Dundee Utd, i could hear tannnoy announcements about lost children lol now THAT is realism :)
 
After a few games I'm finally getting in to it and it's now feeling more like a proper game for football. Yes, at time the speed isn't breakneck speed but then again most football matches are not.

Graphics and sound in this game is top quality, while Be A Pro is a great bonus and really enjoying working hard to get space and not trying to lose the ball for my team :)

Overall, this is by far the best Fifa to date and looks lush on the 360. Let's now see if PES2008 can step up to the mark, either way 360 footie fans are in for a treat.
 
I've been playing the 360 version since yesterday and i have to say it's excellent....Playing it on Semi Pro, i don't dare try Pro yet :o

I find myself Drawing a lot of games though, humped Rangers 4-0 then struggled against Caley Thistle....Super keeper mode seem's to kick in at times and everything is saved......No worries though, it's the best Fifa for a long time :D
 
i managed Ameature, Semi Pro, World Class and Legendary first time, i actually got my best win on Legendary 3-1, everytime Newcastle Vs Sunderland... Pro took me about 10 times to win though!!!
 
played it and its quite good. Better than 07 for sure. It is very different from pro evo and because of that I can appreciate it. I think Fifa generally gets the stats of players more accurate than pro evo as well.

How the hell do ya score long range efforts though? My gripe with fifa and has been for a while is the shooting system, it always seems to curl and never a direct powerful shot. I assume I'm doing something wrong?
