Fifa 08 - Tips

[da_mic_1530]

I've recently bought this game as I can't stand this year's PES

I am not getting on with this game at all, for a so called new engine the same fifa flaw is there, it was present in Road to world cup and it's back again

You can always score from crosses

No-one online that I play can seem to score from normal open play, neither can I, I mean one on ones, 9 times out of 10 I never score. It's really annoying me, I am dominating the game, peppering the goal with shots, only to have the Uber goalie save everything, then suddenly I'n 5-0 down as once again, the opposition has scored.. from a header, or it's a boring 0-0 draw as no-one can score.

I know I sound bitter as I keep losing but it's really annoyed me

any tips on shooting?

I always assumed it was Left Bumper for triggering a run. That said, they never seem to make runs.

indeed, everytime I pass I use the one two command, and although they run the through balls are poor, I will try setting that to manual

I'd just like to say I'm having no problems with patient build up, like I said I'm creating boat loads of chances, just the shooting that seems to be the stumbling block for me

after reading my OP from a long time ago I can safely say I'm much better, I still have a few qualms with the engine though, such as the fact I can't score unless I'm in the box
