It’d be nice next year to take this a step further and make it as accurate as possible. EA planned to incorporate custom team chants and although it seems some clubs chant minor things, others are lacking somewhat in there usual team songs. Thankfully the crowd ambience is better than previous titles, chanting, cheering and booing as appropriate. You’ll bang a goal in and once play has resumed the commentary team will be going mad still. The other problem is the delay between what is spoken and what is happening on screen. Sadly it seems without some wonder commentary we’ll never get that much varied speech. Yes they come out with facts and chatter amongst each other, but once you’ve heard it the first time, it isn’t something you’ll want to hear time and time again. I don’t actually know who these players areĬommentary this season comes from Martin Tyler and Andy Gray of Sky Sports fame and although with each yearly instalment comes fresh and invigorating commentary speech, it still suffers in its own respect. The stadiums don’t actually look this good Manager Mode itself is very much like last year you pick a team and try and succeed in the league and cup paying attention to the fact your job could be at stake after a few losses. Each player gains experience (in the form of EXP points) and this can build players abilities in specific areas of the field such as attacking or defence.

That said you’ll be finding you rely on your own defence a hell of a lot more than in previous games an integral part of the team and making sure the opposition doesn’t score.Īlso new to the series is that each player has abilities and skills of which are available in Manager Mode. It can be done but the defence will usually have the upper hand. Most of the goals come from crosses into the box rather than skilled runs down the centre. Scoring is difficult as a mentioned earlier. You won’t always be on the ball and you’ll end up running round the field quite a-lot but when you run through the defence and power the ball into the net you’ll feel personal satisfaction. It’s a new way to play a football game and it works quite well. Instead of controlling the whole field of eleven men you’ll control your favourite player and try and enhance his performance in that position.
Static fifa 08 pro#
One of the best new features this year which adds a new angle to the game is the Be A Pro mode which allows you to control one key player from a team of your choice. But if you do master them you’ll be laughing all the way to the cup final. This is strictly for the pro players however as it is pointless trying to pull off a trick, failing and letting the opposition head up the field and belt one in. Making a welcome return are skills which can be mastered by tapping and pushing buttons and triggers. Tactics are the key now and thus the learning curve is higher than in previous titles but is a joy to behold once mastered. FIFA 08 changes this and makes you pass, play and perfect your shooting until the ball hits the back of the net. Games of old required you to run down the centre, shoot and score. The engine feels more fluid and tighter to play with and requires more skill on your part.
Static fifa 08 update#
The real update to FIFA 08 is in the underlying game. Graphically FIFA 08 looks very much like its predecessor albeit with some smoother looking pitches and players and you’d be forgiven for thinking that you’ve just gone and wasted another £40 on a crap update. On the surface some of the changes look minimal. After all unless your name is Manchester United, real-life football doesn’t have that many goals per game! It’s frustrating and you’ll be throwing the controller at the near misses that you can’t quite convert but what you can be guaranteed of is a comprehensive and slick footballing game. FIFA 08 focuses on making a realistic football title with the minimal of goals possible. Football is all about scoring, right? Wrong. To put it in simple terms, FIFA 08 is bloody difficult. I’ll set the record straight, it does have flaws. With an introduction like that you’d probably be thinking you’re about to consider purchasing the definitive game of the year. To some this is about as good as sex gets. And not similar to those girlfriends you want to leave firmly in the past, it is purely about the future for FIFA. FIFA 08 is a radical improvement of those stale instalments of past.
