 - AwesomeLove FIFA 08. It gets better every year, this is one of the best versions I have seen so far. Can't wait for 09 Rating: - FIFA 08 is a great game!!!Well, first, the shipping was excellent. Then, the game's great. It's always better to play it with a gamepad, but the keyboard works fine as well. 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 not have wanted and even if you take the right player he almost always starts out running the wrong direction you want him to. I wish that smart, quality players of real football/soccer would test these games out and sort out a lot of the goofy little problems there are. Also, incredibly difficult to figure out how to shoot! I.e. I still have no clue how to diliberately aim low. Anyone have some help??? 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: you really need a USB gamepad (like the logitech Rumblepad) in order to benefit fully from all the available controls. Admittedly, there are some bugs in FIFA 08, like when the commentator states that the keeper made a wonderful save when the ball clearly went out for a goal kick. My hope is that these will be corrected for in FIFA 09. Compared to FIFA 07, the artificial intelligence in FIFA 08 is improved, CPU team players seemed to have increased awareness to defend or press on, depending on the score, as you play in increasingly higher difficulty levels. I have to say FIFA 08 at some point became too easy for me, even at the world class difficulty level. Playing FIFA 08 online is also a great experience, as long as your internet speed is ok. Yep, you have to hit the training ground in order to survive FIFA 08, there is no denying that! It is the hardest FIFA game produced so far. Since you are currently getting a new game for less than $[...], there is no reason why you shouldn't give it a try. 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."
