Step into the boots of a professional player through a new mode called ?Be A Pro: Co-op Season? that challenges you to master the same disciplines as a real professional football player?from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing. Step onto the field with your created player to play an entire game as that footballer, and develop him into an elite player over the course of the season. Never before have you been able to approach the game this way, improving your abilities one skill at a time just as if you were a pro. Play with up to three friends playing all fixed to their players on your favorite club, complete individual challenges to develop your player attributes and win glory for the squad, while competing with your friends to develop the best player by season's end. From the moment you step on the pitch, FIFA 08 challenges you to think and react like a real football player by giving you complete control over all of the action. New manual controls enable you to dictate the play with control over through-passing and crossing. Control the goalkeeper in one-on-one situations to deny the striker yourself.

Intelligently manage your club by preparing for each specific opponent using new custom formations. Design your own unique strategy to create the perfect formation and tactics. Assign roles and move players to the exact position in relation to teamma Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hmmm. A let-down.Not as good even as 2007. Hard to figure out how to just have a career (i.e. play for Liverpool consecutive years). Can't figure out how to upgrade players (It adds XP experience points but doesn't let me spend them). Too many horns in the crowd, and everyone knows that horns at sporting events are obnoxious. Defense is worse then previous years since an attacker can virtually waltz through your defense since the tackling is so horrid and the automatic switching makes you take a player you may ... Read More Rating:  - Awesome game - best Fifa game so far!Fifa 08 is definitely better than its predecessors and very different than Fifa 07. The gameplay has been made more realistic by the addition of new moves like directed through ball and directed crossing. Is it hard to score from outside the penalty area? Yes, but not impossible. You just have to train yourself to shoot, adding the right amount of topspin, backspin etc to be more effective. Everything comes with practice and experience! And if you are playing this game on PC, a keyboard is hopeless: ... Read More Rating: - Not at all great!With compare to Evo Pro by Konami, Fifa 08 is not that great. Same engine and comments as in UEFA 2007. It's hard to score a goal, though, this makes the game interesting. Inappropriate comments observed sometimes!! Even when I did not shoot at the goal and the goalkeeper did not even touch the ball, commentator said "Great Save." Rating: - Not what I expectedThe music sucks. Great improvement in goalkeeping. Scoring was still a little too easy in '07, but this one makes scoring harder, and therefore, the game is more competitive. Commentary is questionable at times such as "Great save!" when the goalkeeper hasn't even seen the ball! Graphics have taken a plunge. The players all look blurry during gameplay. Unlike '07, you can not tell exactly WHO the player is during gameplay. Replays look less realistic, and watching it in ... Read More Rating:  - Much better...I don't know what the other guys were talking about FIFA 07 being better, 08 improves on a lot of stuff. The gameplay is NOT the same, defending is much better in this game. Computer aren't that dumb any more and the goalies are a lot better too. The new player switching and goal keeper controls also help out when you learn how to use them. There's also quick free kicks, you can actually push up your goal keepers on corners when you're down a goal. There is widescreen support for this game, I run it at ... Read More |
