| After 9 years of reverence towards the PES/Winning Eleven series, I have to recognize that this is the FIFA installment that by far takes the gold medal of soccer video games. Having friends in Europe, the online mode is a total blast. Don't hesitate, THIS is football (or soccer I should say). |

| This soccer game is the best sports game I've played. It's fun to play with friends or by yourself or online. It is a complete game with many game modes and challenges. The grapics are also very crisp. I would highly reccomend this game to even those who don't follow soccer. |

 "Worst control ever!" | 2008-09-03 |
| - Reviewed By franciscortiz |
| First, I've been playing EA Fifa since 2000. Second, those games were ALWAYS my favorites, even compared with other soccer games. But I have to admit this one has a real big problem with controls: it supposed you enjoy scoring, so why you are always shooting to the posts???? Why is so difficult to move the ball and left the defenders away? I want a game to relax and enjoy, not a dissapointing game when the score is always against your team, because a single shot from the computer is a goal...but you have to score 1 in 20 shots!!!! And I'm talking with 9 years playing the same game, even the 08 for PS2. |

| This game is a lot of fun. The gameplay is good overall. There are times when you pass the ball that it does not go to the person you intended but other than that it is good. Online capability prodvides long lasting playablity. But there is still a lot you can do offline. Play with 7 people at once on one system. Awesome kicks, headers and dribbling moves. Play tournaments, challenges, seasons, and more. It is a must-buy for those that like sports even if you don't like soccer, specifically. |

 "The epitome of frustration" | 2008-03-28 |

| I wanted SO MUCH to like this game. It started well enough,..smooth graphics, tons of teams and leagues, life-like player renderings. The gameplay seemed to be pretty good too. A week later, i'm still on the amateur level and still can't score goals. I have owned every FIFA game for the past 10 years and have always played at the highest levels to great success. I have played soccer/coached soccer for over 30 years. This game is so irritating that I have not only broken 2 controllers, it is going back asap. The FIFA franchise' gameplay has gone BACKWARDS since it peaked in 2005. The game does not reward solid buildup or creativity. Most goals are of the garbage variety. Its next to impossible to take the ball from the CPU yet they are TOO smart to pry open with through balls and too sound in the middle of the backline to beat on the dribble. The game is simply too complicated. Bring back the simplicity of the 2005 version with updates and rosters. |

| This game is really great for me, i like the online tournaments, the type of game play and also the "play on a single position", this is great, because it tells you when you are playing well, when you are playing wrong that especific position, and you can choose any one that you like....and of course also te classic things, but improved. |

This is the best FIFA Soccer game yet - the graphics are wonderful on a 1080p DLP TV and the presentation, licensing, is top notch. Gameplay is much improved, although I agree with several previous reviewers on two very important points:
1. When defending, all you can really do is run alongside the ball handler and try to pressure him off of the ball. That's it. Timing a tackle can also work, but if you miss, you're in odd-man situation and the AI does a fairly good job at working a shot.
2. Trying to execute a 'trick' move is very hard to do, must be anticipated well in advance, and even then, there is little success. Even in extreme situations (i.e. C Ronaldo vs. any Derby County defender - get the point).
Also, the AI seems very proficient at corner kicks - much more proficient then you will find you will be able to be. But enough criticism. The game is fun, has very little framerate issues (you'll see a slight hesitation rarely), has great stadiums & kits and plays well online. This is a big step for this franchise and sets the stage for a (potentially) very strong, PES-challenging game platform. In fact, FIFA '08 is strong enough to make those of us fluent in the PES/Winning Eleven series to start nit-picking that game (mainly, the lack of licensing and amount of editing needed to be done to present the teams & kits properly). What's important at the end of the day, however, is the play on the pitch, and FIFA has made big strides. It's not quite as smooth and responsive as PES, but the gap is narrowing and "Seabass" (the producer of PES 2008) should be on DEFCOM alert 4.
Purchase with confidence - enjoy! |

Fifa 2008 is the most polished and perfected fifa that has ever been brought to market. The game play is amazing, the menu, the graphics, the extra features!
People that have played fifa for ages like me will agree, this fifa tops them all for so many reasons its hard to express.
Once you connect to the internet the game breathes an entirely new life: soccer podcasts from all around the world, game updates, roster downloads, live sports ticker, match games with entire strangers.
ITS AMAZING!!! |
