Tuote Kuvaus: FIFA 08 challenges players to master the skills required to play like a professional soccer player. Fans around the world can experience the same highs and lows of real-world players and tackle the challenges they face on a daily basis.
The FIFA Soccer 08 next-gen gameplay engine, built to maximize the power of the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and the PLAYSTATION 3 computer and entertainment system, delivers animations and ball control that is so responsive you feel like you are actually on the pitch. Players are now aware of their surroundings, reacting authentically to threats and opportunities to make intelligent decisions.
Now with the FIFA 08 shooting system you can enjoy even more control and precision in front of the goal to become a true marksman.
For the first time ever, fans playing FIFA 08 will face the pressure to improve their game that real-world players endure every day. A new play mode called Be A Pro locks you in the role of a single player and challenges you to master the same disciplines as a real professional player--from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing.
FIFA 08 now gives every football fan the chance to perform pro skills with a true next-generation organic building-block system. You can combine tricks and skill moves together to recreate signature moves from the real-world superstars or define your own style of play. You can even capture video of your best moves and goals in-game and upload to the FIFA 08 website to show off your style and celebrate your glory with friends across the globe.
The award-winning Interactive Leagues debuts on the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 as part of the deepest online feature set to date. Represent your club online (Internet connection required for online play) against your rivals throughout the season in the F.A. Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st
Asiakaspalvelu Ratings: - FIFA08. rating the purchase itself, it went smoothly. purchased from the US and had it shipped from UK to Slovakia. worked very well and my brother is now enjoying the game.
- Better than FIFA 07 - NO!. I spend most of my time playing on manager made, so i will talk about this, Fifa had a problem two years ago, in that all you had to do was send a half decent scout out to the likes of Africa and Europe and he would come back with a young player with attributes in the high 70 s or low 80 s, and yes this problem is back.
why waste your hard earned cash (will come onto this in a moment) on players from other clubs when you can create a team of super players by simply sending out your scout - very unrealistic, half the fun of FIFA 07 was that it was really hit and miss when you brought in a scouted player, you really had to put in the time and effort in the hope the pitch time you gave them resulted in them developing into great players - no longer the case.....also what happened to the players rising through the youth ranks, that was a very nice touch - sadly no longer there.
back to the hard earned money, well it isn t is it! playing as Leeds at the moment, don t support them, but its always good to be a lower league side, aiming form the Premier league and being able to sell players without real life influencing you. but i was making at least 9 million a season, now i know FIFA 07 any team could go bankrupt after buying one star player but this is a little ridiculous isn t it!
is this game better than FIFA 07,in places but overall i would have to say NO!!
- Love It But ?. Love the game play, love the realistic kits and love the feel of it.
Hate the fact that when you get to a cup final it isn t played at Wembley but at your or your opponents home grounds WHY ? Wembley stadium is on there, use it. FA cup semi final, played at your home ground, whats that all about ?
Hate the fact that no matter how many times you upgrade your ground it looks exactly the same as the one you started with, WHY ?
Lets hope Fifa 09 irons out those niggles. - WORST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF CONSOLES AND EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE IT. EVEN CAVEMEN HAD SOMETHING MORE FUN TO PLAY!!!!!!. I have just played FIFA 08 for the Xbox and I was so furious by it that I came down to the computer to warn anyone else who may wish to play this game.
In one word, it is abysmal. It is the worst game in living history. The players in it, be it Ronaldhino or Matty Markson from Achely Town, all have the same terrible first touch, taking too long to control the ball and completely unable to take a first time shot or pass. The box will boast that it makes a thousand decisions a second, but they will include RUNNING AWAY from the player in possession, passing to one of the opposition midfielders whose just waiting for you, they will run into the most offside position available at the time and if you wait for them to come back, the CPU gets 12 players behind the ball. They then counter attack, easily passing your floundering players and waiting for the GK to punch it into his own net or throw it back to the striker in the first place.
The graphics are alright, the stadiums are impressive but the main gameplay is so utterly frustrating that you will just end up kicking your Xbox to bits in fury as you concede yet another offside decision and they score their one and only shot of the game to take the points. The players turn like a fleet of crippled boats as well and your AI players seem completely unable to make an interception while the opposition will make them from the whistle.
The Manager Mode is also utter infuriating as the players will lose all stamina after one match, requiring a eight match rest to get back to full strength. It s an interesting addition but also rather pointless. Machester United don t even start in the Champions League for example. It s a nightmare and there is no limit to how far I would go to avoid playing it again. Australia seems far enough.
I will play as Man Red in Pro Evo with delight as it is about a hundred thousand million billion times better all round.
And I did try it on all settings.
They were all bad. - Better than Pro Ev believe it or not!. I have always been a Pro Ev guy, way back to the days when it wasn t even called Pro Ev! I had always preferred the playing system, gameplay and basically everything about it compared to Fifa. I always felt that Fifa was a stilted game which did not allow any fluency or imagination whatsoever. Basically, i thought that if you understood football you would prefer Pro Ev.
I recently purchased the new Pro Ev and as usual noticed a few changes here and there but nothing groundbreaking. The game seems to have got slower as each new version arrives. I then read the reviews on Fifa 08 and when i noticed the price i thought why not?
I have been very impressed. This is the closest you can get to real football on a video game in my opinion. The speed is perfect. The players play exactly like they do in real life. Ronaldo runs like Ronaldo, Scholes scores from the edge of the box but can t tackle and Tevez bullies every defender he comes across. The passing is great with emphasis on build up play interspersed with flashes of imagination that create openings. The shooting system is intuitive and lifelike and the whole game looks brilliant.
On line the game comes into its own. Playing other people who make the same errors as you really opens the game up and makes it great fun. At times when playing the computer, chances can be few and far between. If you want an arcade like football experience then don t buy this.
If you think you prefer Pro Ev but haven t played a Fifa in a while then my advice is get this, you won t be disapointed.
