FIFA 08 website, up and running

[Mattwinter]

35 officialy licensed tournaments? Does that mean that the Champions League and UEFA Cup license are now used for Fifa?

And 25 tournaments that aren't licesnsed? Hopefully they have tournaments like the World Cup and regional national tournaments, even if they aren't authentic.

In FIFA 07, there were 510 teams, and now with 3 more leagues there are 620 teams, so that would suggest there will be more international teams and possibly more 'rest of world' teams - which could feature in pre-season friendlies, or non-licensed tournaments.

They might, for example, have the Asian Champions league - the rumor is that the A-league will be in, so they would have the A-league and K-league, then some rest of world Asian teams and they could have enough for an Asian Champions league.

Bah..
I have no doubt that the next FIFA release will be another disapointment in the main. EA have no need to shock and wow their audience to make profit, merely keeping them an acceptable distance from complete disgust is enough to keep the wagon rolling for them.

Im fully expecting another typical FIFA release with this one, a few shiny bells and whistles that mask an ultimately shallow and unfulfilling gaming experience.

PES is next-gen on the PC this year

i'll definitely try pes... it's just that i find the lack of licenses annoying... it's just me

The thing is, it's not such a big deal really. Within a few weeks there will be option files available that will make everything official. And then a few months after that there'll be patches that add hundreds of stadiums and loads of HD kits.

I love PES because it's so easy to mod. I have to option files for PES6, an up to date one with all the latest kits, transfers, etc, and a Classics Option File with every team in the game replaced with a classic team. Fifa is not a patch on it.

yeah, and another thing i don't like about pes are the controls... they were made for ps i think.. and i'm playing on a pc/keyboard so it's hard for me to reconfigure them the way i'm used to.. that is from fifa

Time to sell a few pigs and get a gamepad, Bobo.

 

[bobinho22]

yeah, i've been thinking about that, too...

ah, well.. let's see how the games turn out...
