Description
SynopsisAn entire stadium full of devoted fans waits on your every move. Some hope your team will be the one to beat; others revel in your defeat. Which will be your fate? Make the decision in FIFA Soccer 08, which features newer manual controls, more aggressive tackling and more physical play than ever before in the FIFA Soccer series. The new Be A Pro: Co-op Season mode lets you master the same disciplines as a real pro soccer player, from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing. Create a player and develop his skills one at a time over the season until he's an elite pro. Next, take the focus off of a single team member and concentrate on dictating entire plays with new manual controls. Make decisions regarding through-passing and crossing, and control the goalkeeper in intense one-on-one situations when the striker makes his move. Quickly switch defenders and choose exactly who you want to control when defending. Plus, new defensive and positioning logic ensures players are in the right place at the right time. Intelligently manage your club using new custom formations to prepare for each specific opponent. Design a unique strategy to create the perfect formation and tactics, and assign roles and move players to the exact position in relation to teammates to undermine the opposition. Throughout every game, you'll have to constantly consider all threats and opportunities.In addition to individual control, FIFA Soccer 08 offers extensive interaction that will thrill fans old and new. Online Football Clubs enable you to form your own group of like-minded soccer fans and take on challengers online. The better you play, the higher your Football Club climbs up the rankings. Demonstrate your skills in Interactive Leagues or by challenging other Football Clubs to a grudge-match tournament. You can also complete individual challenges to develop your players' abilities and win glory for the squad.

It is a fun game and I play it a lot. It's co-op season is OK but it isn't fun when your partner leaves and eats pringles. I keep trying to hit x to switch players like on madden but it doesn't work. If FIFA can make a better player switch system it will be a better game.

this is probably the best soccer game out there. The 08 version is much harder to play than the 07 version.

This is a really great game, I borrowed from a friend of mine last April, then got hooked and finally had to buy my own, I love this game, never felt the need to buy FIFA 09,as this game is very adaptable, you can transfer players to keep up with the real rosters, and really no need to ever let this go!!!! The only thing I do not like is the limited number of player edits, I don't inflate their ratings, well maybe a few times, but I really love having my team with no wristbands or ankle tape and the same cleat color or according to the game and pretty much the rest of the world, the players 'boot' color to all match, well I plan on upgrading my gaming enjoyment to a PS3 and purchase FIFA 10 as well, but for this year and a half it has been great playing FIFA 08
