    4.0 out of 5 stars A Fifa Comeback, October 14, 2007
    Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    It's been a while, several years in fact since EA Fifa has shown anything new, they tweak a little here and there but for all intents and purposes up until now not a lot has changed. In most peoples honest opinion Winning eleven has been the best franchise for this sport since early 2000 and with some great reasons, the feel of the game just wasn't there for EA, they always had the scoop on the graphics and obviously the team names but not much else..until this year.

    I must admit when I played the demo I was ehh..but i took a chance cause of the long wait for the installment of winning eleven and went out and got a copy of EA fifa 08...and am I glad I did.

    EA has turned the game on it's head this year, firstly the graphics are very good indeed, crisp characters all of which are easy identifiable, they even managed to get some of the bigger stars running patterns stances and so on right...not an easy task...then we come the game itself.

    What really does it this year for fifa is a few thigns which i hope will revolutionize the way the game is played, what I'm talking about is the pro camera and the pro player mode...

    So your on a field playing soccer you make runs, you get ignored, you call for the ball and make a run and find the ball delivered in your path before your closed down and slip it inside to your teamate who belts it into the net, sound about right in soccer..well Fifa 08 has covered this perfectly, playing Fifa this year is like actually being out on the field. absolutely superb idea, you know can control just one player and make the runs score the goals and make the passes while everything else is going on around you. Your level is counted meaning that if you are out of position lose the ball a lot or get constantly caught offside your rating is gonna drop so for the first time in any soccer game anywhere you play as a team and not a dribbler cause this is real, and in real soccer i rarely see someone gather the ball in their own half dribble the entire team and score..this year Fifa is making it real.

    So hats off to that idea, the sound is the usual witty dialogue from Andy Gray and simply adds to the realism, the sound overall is decent if not outstanding, where are the boo's when an opponent touches the ball, where are the screams of the manager on the sideline? these are just things i hope is covered in the next installment...

    More teams...yes finally they gave us our teams back, now granted not everyone wants to play as Derry City ( Ireland league ) but this is a world game so all teams should be covered, think of the european championship, not every tie is gonna be aginst Real Madrid, Man Utd, AC Milan, in real llife you'l get drawn against the smaller leagues too and thank gawd this has been brought back from the measily 6 leagues we had last year...so well done EA for that too.

    The downside of the game, the referee, it still seems like he has swallowed his whistle, if you try a slide tackle he blow it up 9 time out've 10, so far I've only tried slide tackling 6 time, 5 of which was a foul and 1 the ref played the advantage, they probably need to work in this for the next installment, possibly a good idea is to have instead of a generic ref, to have an assortment of refs and linesmen, some more strict than others, some prone to mistakes etc, it would make the game a little more exciting if you were playing against your arch rival and saw the referee you had for todays game was prone to calling the game wrong every now and then..then after the game you'd be furious ..sound like real life soccer? But maybe this is something EA can work on for next year aswell.


    With a whole set of new moves, shimmy's and interesting variation of goals you can score, EA has really raised the bar which is great for gaming now it's upto Winning Eleven to dig deep and try to take back it's crown, but i have a feeling This king won't be de-throned for quite some time.

    Well done EA,..Long live the King!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Im impressed, October 12, 2007
    Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    This game is amazing, ill just start there. The graphics are top notch, and the gameplay has become alot better. It is WAY more realistic. This is finally a game where you can take on the defense one on one and get by him alot of the time, especially with this years addition of the left trigger skill moves. Also, the Be-A-Pro mode is without a doubt my most favorite mode of the game. It actually makes you feel like a player and gives you a cool connection that you get with very few games. The teams are plentiful, there are enough players to populate a small town and its all on that cd. All in all, a very good game that ill be playing for a while without ever, if ever, getting tired of it. Now all they need is the San Jose Earthquakes of the MLS =P

    3.0 out of 5 stars Still Room for Improvement, December 28, 2007
    By M. Royce (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
    Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
    I've had this game a couple months now, and overall it's probably the best soccer/football game for XBox360. With that being said, there are some definite things I don't like about it, and things I wish were carried over from previous FIFA games.

    The good: An amazing selection of teams and players, great graphics. It's hard to imagine having more choices for teams. Even the Irish league is on here, a first for EA.

    The not-so-good: As usual, the AI players (players not controlled by you) act like they've never played the sport before. Try not switching players when the other team has the ball, and watch as your defense sits back and lets them take shots at your goal. Yet when you have the ball anywhere near the box, the computer team swarms you. I'm also trying to figure out the secret to a successful corner (how does Peter Crouch NOT win the ball against much-smaller and inferior defenders? Good question, but it happens routinely on this game).

    I've also had some issues with the penalties. The button to clear the ball is the same as the button to slide tackle. On more than one occasion, I've thought I was clearing the ball when instead it had already been miraculously stolen from me and I've ended up tackling a player instead, resulting in a free kick or penalty. I've also had free kicks given - almost always conveniently near the box - just for taking control of a defender and making contact with the other team.

    One other thing I miss from previous versions is the custom camera angle. You basically get a few camera angles to choose from, and cannot customize them in any way shape or form. I find that I am either too close to the action (and can't see approaching defenders or players on my team who are open) or too far away (where I can't tell who has the ball).

    The stadium set-up is weird, too. I liked it better when teams who didn't have a custom stadium played in a random one with no name. I played a game as Celtic the other day and their home stadium was not Celtic Park, but as if that wasn't enough, it was a stadium with a Spanish-sounding name. If you don't want to create Celtic Park, fine, but don't have them playing in a stadium with a name that clearly is not their home stadium. That just seems stupid to me, and educated football fans know Celtic don't play in El Stadio Olympico or whatever they have them playing in.

    When I think back to previous versions of the series, I think the older versions were just a lot more fun. The crowds even seemed smarter and more in tune with things - remember when the Liverpool crowd would sing "Michael Rowed His Boat Ashore" after Michael Owen would score? I guess I just miss some of these things that appear to have been sacrificed for better graphics.
