Fifa 2008

noodlehair · 30th September 2007, 16:42

Having played both demos, I've once again come to the conclusion that the XBox is fucking crap

Fifa's embarrassing, where as Pro Evo has gone backwards about four years. With Pro Evo, they've also used the "next gen" thing as an excuse to remove stuff from the game, no doubt so they can gradually put it back over the next two or three years. Bollocks to that.

Pro Evo 6 on the PS2 dicked all over Pro Evo 6 on the Xbox. There's no evidence here to suggest things will be any different this year

I just played FIFA 08 on PC and I must say I am really disappointed.

I am a Fifa fan and have never played PES.But Fifa is getting annoying and boring now.

Every single time they promise big changes but only make a few minor ones year after other.96 and 2000 were clearly the best Fifa versions.

Might as well try PES.

Cold_Boy · 30th September 2007, 17:46

Fifa Manager is awful too.Its just too messy and complicated.

I couldn't play more than,4-5 matches.It really get boring.

Weaste, do you have a PS3? I ask because I want to know how Ratchet and Clank is graphically. I'm a huge Jak & Daxter fan, and have dabbled with Ratchet & Clank. Games like that are what gaming is all about.

Garethw · 1st October 2007, 20:01

I've heard that graphically Ratchet and Clank looks just like a Pixar animation movie. It will be interesting to see if Weaste has any info.

First Uk review gave it 90%.

WeasteDevil · 1st October 2007, 21:54

I have a PS3, but the game has not been released yet.

rotherham_red · 1st October 2007, 22:52

my little brother got the ps3e version on release day, and promptly took it to his digs in birmingham the twat, he bought it down for the weekend, my initial thoughts when i played it on a standard-definition TV, were: it looks almost like a carbon copy of fifa 04, but with better graphics.

BUT when i dropped him off on sunday, and played it on his new HD-TV, my mind almost completely changed, to truly appreciate the power of the PS3 you simply HAVE to play it on a HD - one word: awesome...

however, i have a sneaky feeling that PES 2008 will be better (just)...

I played Fifa yesterday.

Looks good - plays fucking shit.

olesmyhero · 3rd October 2007, 14:31

Just looked at some of the images from gamespot. Shouldn't the team have this year's shirts not last year's?

Van Piorsing · 3rd October 2007, 14:33

This new Fifa 08 is hard sometimes when You play on highest level of game and highest level of goalkeeper.

The keeper is very hard to beat.

They do have this years shirts. Bugger knows why screen shots show last seasons.

PES6 is shite and the new one isn't out yet, try to be a better person and bugger off where you arn't wanted.

Played a few games of Fifa08 now and I'm really enjoying it. It actually plays like a football game should. I played some guy Man Utd (me) v Chelsea (him) on live beat him 2-1 all he kept saying was 'the refs a man yoo fan' like a complete gimp. Beat some Italian guy last night 5-1, United v Inter. Rooney with 4 of the goals, including a very nice solo effort and an awesome chip from 20 yards out in the 93rd minute.

Are your talking about the Rooney in the white United shirt?

The white united shirt is unlockable in Fifa 08 as its this years 3rd shirt.

Agree, its good. A bit slow at first, but you get used to it.

They was loads of screen shots floating around before the game was released of players in last seasons shirts. I think it was because EA didn't have the rights to the new shirts at the time the screenshots was made.

AttackingFlair · 4th October 2007, 16:30

Just played it yesterday but then my game broke somehow and said it wouldn't read the disc. From what I played, a very good game, great passing. Nothing like the demo imo.

I've found if I swap Nani for Giggs and Saha for Tevez then my team 'feels' faster on the attack. Giggs is crap on it as well I've found.

Disc Unreadable?

Yeah, asked me to wipe it with a cloth/restart console. Did both and still didn't work. I'm sending it back.

I've also got Pro 6 on the 360 which I think is a good game.

Major improvements on Fifa:-
-Very hard to beat a man
-Wide range of skills (can even do kick ups in a match and then volley)
-Better passing
-Better flow to the game
-Better shooting
-Better keepers
-The game itself is very hard to play against

I'm not too impressed with the commentary but the be a pro mode is very good, especially if you play in midfield for me.

Yeah, Giggs is slow - i always use Nani.

I think Hargreaves is better than Carrick in the game too.

Whos the best player? I think Messi, Rooney and Henry.

Vidic never seems to loose a tackle.

Retirantmobs · 4th October 2007, 16:37

All I do if I get disc unreadable it wipe the disc. i've also found I tend to get it if my xbox has been on for too long and it's starting to overheat. Might be a good idea to make sure it's fans have a lot of space.

AttackingFlair · 4th October 2007, 16:37

Ronaldinho for best player. Rooney always get MOM for me.

It's got a lot of space and I've wiped the disc. All my other games work.

Ronaldo is class! Press sprint and you can basically beat everyone for speed. Kaka is awesome as well. Can score a few peachy goals with him.

Are you on PS3/2 or 360?

I agree with all that.

I find it hard pretty hard in Professional difficulty.
