FIFA 08 Walkthrough Strategy Guide (Video Game Walkthrough Xbox 360)
Also On: NGA | PS3
Release Date:09/15/2007 ESRB Rating: Rating Pending Genre: Sports Publisher: Electronic Arts Developer: Electronic Arts FIFA's one boast over its brilliantplaying competition has always been league licenses, so last year's slim nextgen roster was borderline embarrassing for EA. For FIFA 08, the developers plan to expand the game from six leagues to...wait for it...over 30. The lineup is so deep, it includes English Championship and English Division 1. That equates to over 15,000 players, which EA oh so conveniently tells us is 20% more than are featured in FIFA 08 on PS2, 14,500 more than NBA Live 08, 13,000 more than Madden, and 13,800 more than Pro Evolution 2007. Hear that folks? Buy now and get 25% more FIFA with half the trans fat!

While those are impressive numbers, soccer gamers know they don't mean squat if the gameplay isn't sorted. FIFA 07 was well behind Winning Eleven in this area, in part because the oversimplified shooting took the skill out of the game. FIFA 08 has errors in shots, so you can actually miss. There are 12 elements that factor into a shot: from which foot you shoot, if there's a defender around, if the shooter is coming out of a spin, etc. Point is, if you're in need of a miracle shot to score, pass. Shots like that won't go in anymore.
What may have your head spinning, though, are the new skill moves that allow some of the most wicked maneuvers ever seen in a sports game. The developers borrowed technology from NBA Street Homecourt, and the result is fluid, dynamic moves that are as inspired as (and certainly inspired by) Ronaldhino's best moves. Describing them is difficult, but trust us, they look stunning.
The Be a Pro Mode, which is a takeoff of Madden's Superstar mode, has you select a player and play only as that player. The camera frames you, the ball, and the goal at all times, so it's not disorienting. EA's eventual goal is 11 on 11 online play, but this is the first building block toward that experience (as of now, the mode can only be played in exhibition). It's a cool, nice first step; the best part is how the camera bounces, as in Gears of War, when you're sprinting at full speed, gunning for a goal.
