jjgadget;2400804 said:The demo offers the chance to play as seven teams, FC Barcelona, AC Milan, America (Mexico), NY Red Bulls, Manchester United, Marseille, and Bayern München
Shame they did not have Liverpool......

Sinspaw;2400920 said:I don't care if you actually prefer FIFA over PES, but calling PES arcade is just nonsense , for crying out loud, half of fifa improvements are copied from PES. Should I point some out? The crossing times thingie, the cross on where the ball is gonna fall, the sprint style of turning only 45º when doing it, the shot feint thing, the through balls, selecting minitactics and using them easily in game, and some other stuff all came from PES and EA calls it the new controls or the new features (By the way you could be just one player in PES already, and that's since PES3) so don't you come and call PES an arcade game and FIFA the real deal, because that's bullcrap. Both games are fine but that right there that you said is just false.
bowster;2400720 said:when passing the ball just press towards the direction of the ball from the recieving player, because u take over the player recieving before the ball arrives to him, u actually have to move the player towards the ball...
well at least for me anyhow :P
I don't care if you actually prefer FIFA over PES
I love each equally but for different reasons
I'm just saying you can't call it arcade and have a lot of new features coming from that arcade game and suddenly fifa is the true simulation one.

So, as the FIFA 08 demo is out and after playing 30+ half matches, I will write now my opinion sincerely and with all do respect to all other footy games out there.
I have been playing FIFA games since the Sega Mega Drive, and every year it was my pleasure to buy it, plug it in and play the game, not only for the fun of it, but for love that I have for Football, a.k.a soccer. Year after year I dreamt of having a football game that can satisfy me, my experience started from Winning Eleven when they introduced a different feeling to footy games, I then shifted to Winning Eleven, 180 degrees, ignoring all the years that I had live with EA’s FIFA series, simple because I’m a person who loves a game for its perfection and level of realism; I don’t care if I bought some game for all the money I have or not, I don’t even care if all the websites gave it a 10 out of 10, I only care for the fact that the game is “Real”, not gaming real, but Reality Real, I’ll explain this after minute.
So, I started the FIFA 08 demo; nice interface, as usual with all footy games, engaging interface, but this year EA had fresh feel filled with dynamic lines and techno shapes pumping your system up ever before starting the game!
As a start, EA had Ronaldinho waiting for me to test the game through his magic legs and skills; I was impressed by how the speed was reduced and momentum was fixed from FIFA 07, I tried some moves and immediately figured out that committing tricks has to be done by holding the “RT” (Xbox 360) button then doing some flicks with the right stick. I loved the moves, very real, very organic, feels cool and makes me want to wear some virtual cloths and start jumping like him! Hehe. It was a very successful addition by EA. Till here, all good.
I then went into choosing the team I’ll play with, so I chose Barca as my home team against Man. United CPU away team, I then fixed all editable settings and started the loading process.
Tata, the match starts, nice intro, better cinematics, more natural than acted out. I then release that the graphics are lowered down compared to UEFA’s graphics, I felt down a little, but hey I didn’t even try the game.
The referee starts the game and I pass the ball… I can’t remember anything for here!!!!
I went into a state of ecstasy, a trancy feeling that I have never ever had from a sports game ever. I couldn’t know what I was doing at that moment; was I playing a game, or was I at the field back at football stadium in my local town? But wait! that is Ronaldinho passing the ball, and that is Rooney pushing the defense, and that is Henry shooting! My god, this is a game!! It is not reality, is it?
I played a game after the other, passed the ball one time after the other, I couldn’t believe what I was experiencing, jumping up and down with ever ball touch.
The game was so real that I’m sure ever “gamer” out there is going to hate, but believe me people, this is the game that I always wished to have, always wished to play, always wished to experience.
People, I swear by everything that god has created; I have never ever seen anything as real as FIFA 08 this in all of my life, I always wanted something that real, but wasn’t excepting to have it in this life time!
My talk is not constructive or explains enough about the game, it is only to show my full respect for EA’s team this year… bravo you guys, and you have done “The” game that I waited for forever. Congratulations guys on taking footy game into a higher level, different, engaging and most importantly “Real”, so real that none of all of the PES or old FIFA titles players are going to be able to compare to them; as a matter of fact, no one is allowed to compare this game to any other title out there, NO, NO, NO.
Welcome FIFA 08 on Xbox 360 to my life, bye to all other titles including the current gen FIFA 08 and the current gen PES 2008 on Xbox 360 and PS3.
I wish if I can cry for this game, but I would be named as a freak or something. I love FIFA 08 next gen. I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.
I swear to all what’ve god created that even if Mother Teresa herself comes to me and says that the game is not good, I will just ignore with a smile and say: “goodnight, happy dreaming about other stuff”.
Final words: FIFA 08 to FIFA 07 is like Sweets to Crap! enough said.
