This game is a lot of fun. The gameplay is good overall. There are times when you pass the ball that it does not go to the person you intended but other than that it is good. Online capability prodvides long lasting playablity. But there is still a lot you can do offline. Play with 7 people at once on one system. Awesome kicks, headers and dribbling moves. Play tournaments, challenges, seasons, and more. It is a must-buy for those that like sports even if you don't like soccer, specifically.

I played this game a few time and gave up. I have recently sold it on ebay. It is so difficult to switch between players that you can not be in control of your play. You are at the mercy of the computer most the time. Example: If you are a defender chasing a faster player usually you would simply switch to one of your defenders up field, but with this game you can only switch to the player that is closest to the ball; regardless of anything else. So, if the computer does not put one of your other defenders in front of the attacking player you are toast. Then, all you can do is hope your keeper, who is almost always controlled by the computer, can stop the shot.
I am a huge fan of FIFA Soccer games and I have played them since the early 1990's. This is my first bad experience with a FIFA Soccer game, but it was so bad that I simply refuse to continue playing it. I can only hope that EA Sports will come out with a better version next year.

I wanted SO MUCH to like this game. It started well enough,..smooth graphics, tons of teams and leagues, life-like player renderings. The gameplay seemed to be pretty good too. A week later, i'm still on the amateur level and still can't score goals. I have owned every FIFA game for the past 10 years and have always played at the highest levels to great success. I have played soccer/coached soccer for over 30 years. This game is so irritating that I have not only broken 2 controllers, it is going back asap. The FIFA franchise' gameplay has gone BACKWARDS since it peaked in 2005. The game does not reward solid buildup or creativity. Most goals are of the garbage variety. Its next to impossible to take the ball from the CPU yet they are TOO smart to pry open with through balls and too sound in the middle of the backline to beat on the dribble. The game is simply too complicated. Bring back the simplicity of the 2005 version with updates and rosters.

This is the best FIFA Soccer game yet - the graphics are wonderful on a 1080p DLP TV and the presentation, licensing, is top notch. Gameplay is much improved, although I agree with several previous reviewers on two very important points:
1. When defending, all you can really do is run alongside the ball handler and try to pressure him off of the ball. That's it. Timing a tackle can also work, but if you miss, you're in odd-man situation and the AI does a fairly good job at working a shot.
2. Trying to execute a 'trick' move is very hard to do, must be anticipated well in advance, and even then, there is little success. Even in extreme situations (i.e. C Ronaldo vs. any Derby County defender - get the point).
Also, the AI seems very proficient at corner kicks - much more proficient then you will find you will be able to be. But enough criticism. The game is fun, has very little framerate issues (you'll see a slight hesitation rarely), has great stadiums & kits and plays well online. This is a big step for this franchise and sets the stage for a (potentially) very strong, PES-challenging game platform. In fact, FIFA '08 is strong enough to make those of us fluent in the PES/Winning Eleven series to start nit-picking that game (mainly, the lack of licensing and amount of editing needed to be done to present the teams & kits properly). What's important at the end of the day, however, is the play on the pitch, and FIFA has made big strides. It's not quite as smooth and responsive as PES, but the gap is narrowing and "Seabass" (the producer of PES 2008) should be on DEFCOM alert 4.
Purchase with confidence - enjoy!

Fifa 2008 is the most polished and perfected fifa that has ever been brought to market. The game play is amazing, the menu, the graphics, the extra features!
People that have played fifa for ages like me will agree, this fifa tops them all for so many reasons its hard to express.
Once you connect to the internet the game breathes an entirely new life: soccer podcasts from all around the world, game updates, roster downloads, live sports ticker, match games with entire strangers.
ITS AMAZING!!!
