Editorial Reviews:

Get closer to the action than ever before by mastering the skills required to play like a real Soccer player in FIFA 08. 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. Take ultimate control over your defenders with new manual controls that enable you to use the right-stick to quickly switch defenders and choose exactly who you want to control when defending. Plus, now it is more strategic to break down the opposition than ever before with new defensive and positioning logic that ensures players are in the right place at the right time, constantly considering all threats and opportunities.
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

User Comments about the FIFA 08 Soccer

The difference in difficulty from amateur to semi-pro is like going from highschool to the MLS. FIFA 2008 PC is no different from FIFA 2007, except for the updated players and teams for the 2008 season. The gameplay is actually slightly worse in regards to switching players. Not quite on target.There are some exciting new players to choose from like Lulinha and Bojan, but don't bother buying this if you already have FIFA 2007.I would wait till 2009 is out.

Features like chat during game and vote to leave a bad connection game still missing from newers versions. I play FIFA since 1994 and could not stop buying the yearly edition, so, I am not the best to write a review since I never tried other soccer games but also, not willing to do it. I hope to see more in the next edition. AI engine is not that bad, but could be better. I simply love FIFA and since I grew up no much time to meet my folks, the ONLINE is my new tool to get at least 3 matches a day. Players movements could seem a little ridged and shoudl improve. more soccer, lets podcast and others not in-game features.

Love FIFA 08. It gets better every year, this is one of the best versions I have seen so far. Can't wait for 09

It's always better to play it with a gamepad, but the keyboard works fine as well. Well, first, the shipping was excellent. Then, the game's great.

Hard to figure out how to just have a career (i.e. Can't figure out how to upgrade players (It adds XP experience points but doesn't let me spend them). Also, incredibly difficult to figure out how to shoot. Not as good even as 2007. 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. I.e. I still have no clue how to diliberately aim low.

Too many horns in the crowd, and everyone knows that horns at sporting events are obnoxious. play for Liverpool consecutive years). 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. Anyone have some help.
