Fifa 08 [Posted on 2008-02-08]
Not into soccer games so its hard to play and control different players. Much better games out there

Great game but really steep learning curve [Posted on 2008-02-19]
I bought this game a few months ago and have probably played about 20-30 matches so far against the computer. It's quite fun and the animations are great (and really exciting when you play a friend), but I have had a lot of trouble with its learning curve as far as playing the computer goes. Normally I stick to FPS games, but I would think that after a while, I would have been able to at least defeat the computer some of the time (though I admit I haven't stooped yet to playing markedly inferior teams). It just seems impossible to shake a defender one-on-one, or to create good separation for your teammates in the red zone. I've tried doing crosses, one-on-one tricks (with Wayne Rooney), and even shooting long range for lucky shots, but I simply cannot find the back of the net consistently. On the other hand, the computer seems to be able to pull off at least one or two impossible shots in your goal during each game (after one player somehow runs around with the ball in and out of your goal box). It seems others have had similar problems as well -- any hints on how to be more consistent at scoring? As a typical American, I'm wondering whether it's just my lack of understanding football strategy that is accounting for my troubles...

All in all, though, a good game worth buying.

G.reatest O.f A.ll T.ime - soccer game [Posted on 2008-05-08]
E. A. has finally done it,
this game is far superior than PES (konami) in terms of realism, controls, online capability and customization. To any Pro Evolution or Winning Eleven soccer fan looking to buy a soccer game i totally reccomend FIFA 08. The used version of this game is a great buy.

I love this game [Posted on 2008-06-05]
This is my first Xbox soccer game, I previously owned FIFA 06 on PC. The graphics on FIFA 08 are amazing, the gameplay impressive. I love everything about it. The auto transfer updates that are received via Xbox Live are a great feature. I also like how endless the gameplay is, there are so many acheivements and trophies to win, it makes the game last longer. I won MLS and moved on to EPL, then will take on La Liga, all the while playing new teams, new tournaments and raking in the trophies and acheivements.

New engine, same method of fun [Posted on 2008-09-23]
Luis Mejia - One of the ultimate franchises in football soccer once again gives us the most complete and most interactive branch of gamming. As for anyone meandering about how "average" the franchise has proven to be over the years, this can't repair the most amazing and most complete variety of teams, modes of play, and realistic scenaries. The fact is the controlls are very tough, and the movement goes back to a harsh style; the ball gets often too high and too bouncy, and the player you control usually doesn't adjust very well, plus the gols that can be make are also those types of errors in which the position of your GK is the reason (which you can't even control so...). The variety of game modes turn from the classic D.T. mode to new tournament mode, become a pro and create your tournament, plus a personal create your own player. Along with hours of entertainment, still those movement details and the fact it's not smoothly crafted are noticeable, but yet enjoyable and effective.
