FIFA 08 Next-Gen Key Features:
Clinical Finishing — A true next-generation ball-striking engine calculates shot success
by combining an almost infinite number of different contexts, including ball spin, pressure from
defenders, player attributes, and even air pressure to recreate the drama and unpredictable
nature of shooting.
Intelligent Soccer -- Now featuring AI with a 35-point decision engine which enables
players to process 1,000 potential options and reactions every second in real time -- more
than 60,000 options every minute -- via a dynamic ‘Threat Map’ system to capture the
excitement and realism of soccer.
Be a Pro: Offline Training — Think and react like a real professional soccer player. Play
the entire game as a fixed player while getting real time feedback and analysis on the fly.
A unique camera angle keeps both player and action in focus, zooming in when you’re on attack.
Pro Skills — A new, organic building-block system enables you to combine tricks and
skill moves together to recreate signature moves from the real-world superstars or define your
own style of play. Animations can be interrupted at any time to transition into a new move, just
like real life.
Manual Controls — Dictate the play with new manual controls for through-passing and
crossing. Now use the right-stick to quickly switch defenders and choose exactly who you want
defending, when you want him.
Online Leagues – Create and organize your own multiplayer Friends Leagues and tournaments
with all the tools in-game.
EA SPORTS™ Interactive Leagues: – Represent your club online against your rivals throughout
the season in the F.A. Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division. Features
weekly in-game pod casts by the development team.
Video Upload: Capture your best goals and highlights in-game and bring them online for the
world to see. Upload your highlights to the FIFA 08 website to create the ultimate highlight reel to
prove the stories you are telling your friends are all true. Because without the footage, it’s fiction.
Real World Soccer News — Receive up-to-the-minute soccer news and podcasts from media
outlets, including ESPN SoccerNet.
