    *Sigh* I'm bitter I have to wait two more weeks for the PS3 version of fifa 08 to come to the states. Grr.

    I'm fine with Europe getting the game before us, it's cool. Lord knows theres a bigger audience there. But my biggest grudge is in the fact that it's getting both the 360 AND the ps3 version the same day there, but here in the states the ps3 version hits the shelves one week AFTER the 360 version???

    So as you can imagine. I'm not happy. But oh well. I'll still keep playing the damn demo.

  • harry84 · 2 years ago
    fifa is awesome. bought it for ps3 yesterday. best game for ps3! its alot better than the demo, tbh i was slightly dissapointed with the demo, but now the game is out its awesome.
    skill moves are hard to pull off in a match, but im sure they will get easier as i keep playing it.
    wish you could do be a pro season on ps3! and the growth thing on manager mode is slightly weird. and there is loads more like youth team players which is awesome.
    anyway i need to get back to playing it.
    ADD ME ON THE PLAYSTATION NETWORK AND WE CAN HAVE GAMES MY PSN: harry84.

  • Leon · 2 years ago
    While respecting the opinion of others, comparing PES to FIFA is really unfair. I mean, give the developers over in Canada some credit.

    FIFA is really developing. Three things, the gameplay, the ball, the team.

    Gameplay brings a across a more cohesive computer team. Additionally the players team actually have very intuitive players. Running into space with such good timing. The intelligent keeper also add a dimension of realism to the game that has been missing for a while. Gameplay is very impressive.I appreciate the "slower" game, the realistic player collisions and the calculated player movement's.

    The computer is actually beginning to "think" unlike previous years. The moves are not easy to master but with time one can appreciate their benefits.

    The ball is such a close representation to the real thing. Its reaction to objects and impact is awesome.

    Finally, the game is more dynamic. With more fluid body movement. PES is relying on former glory. It had for about 2 years, then it lost it. I dare say KONAMI became complaisant. I do not doubt that they can develop an outstanding product but they seem to have lost the plat lately.

    I got FIFA 2008 for the 360 and its really good. The Be A Pro mode is such a welcome addition.

    What EA have here is a very focused development path for football gaming. If real additions and not merely new skins, can be made to the game, we have an exciting future ahead of us.
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    how many players can u edit and can u edit socks, i mean low/high???
    And are the stadiums of Real mad and Romas in the game???

    some one... and the game comes out oct 9 or 10 in Canada.

  • Leon · 2 years ago
    Is it just me? I got FIFA08 for the xbox and two days later I got the message "unable to read disc". It first makes a crackling sound and them throws the error. I returned the disc for a replacement, i am on my second one and I am still getting the same error. I had a look at http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/support/discreplaceme...
    and it seems like something went wrong printing these discs. I will be returning it for my THIRD replacement!

    Anyone else getting the same error?
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    @Leon:

    Unfortunately these things happen :-/ I read that Halo 3 had the exact same problem. I guess that's what happen when they print 81 discs per second.
  • dubl · 2 years ago
    Waiting for 360 Version here in the states...no good. I think its strange however that US version doesn't come out at the same time, since FIFA is developed here in North America at EA Canada.

    Anyway, waht's the scoop on saving replays for 360, can you save them during regular gameplay or do you have to be online and upload them? (I'm not connected to Xbox Live)
  • Leon · 2 years ago
    Hi dubl

    As per my experience, yes, you would have to be online and upload them and not during regular gameplay..

  • luis · 2 years ago
    can i buy a uk copy and play it in the usa? i will be using hdtv. will it be the same exact game they will release later or should i wait?
  • Michael · 2 years ago
    I have to say im somewhat dissapointed with the team selections..no FK Sarajevo..no Dynamo Kyiv..no CSKA Moscva..nor they're respective leagues,they could have at least put them in the rest of world.Oh well i guess this is what i get for following Eastern Europe Football. Although didnt FIFA O1 have alot of the smaller leagues such as Greece i remember? South America is really lacking as well on here as is most of Eastern Europe. Have they done a better job with the arena's because having the same stadium in 5 different countries is a little tacky.

  • David · 2 years ago
    Ivan....are you stupid. look all over the internet. i haven't seen the release date for the PS3 version to be the 16th anywhere. Look on gamestop.com. it says release 10/09. this is october 9th. I'm not sure why you think it is the 16th, but you just look like a huge douche by saying that! Anyway, i can't wait to play it. the demo is getting a little old.
  • jasper · 2 years ago

  • t00jak · 2 years ago
    Have played a lot of Fifa 08 on xbox 360 in the last few weeks and have been having a very cool time with it. The computer is a lot more intelligent now to the point that I am forced to play on amateur/semi-pro instead of pro/world class I was using on 2007.
    Have only two complaints which won't affect my playing; the computer players are near impossible to tackle once they have a clean ball, and the computer ends up with fouls being awarded much too regularly for completely innocuous tackles.
    Apart from that it is a seriously good game and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys football. Also the multiplayer gameply has now become a lot more dynamic and exciting; the lads I play against regularly are now all on a very similar level due to how much more difficult (and thereby realistic) passing cleanly and finishing has become.
  • luis · 2 years ago
    release got sped up from 16th to 9th

  • Espen · 2 years ago
    Hey everyone :)

    I have Fifa 08 for PS3, I bought it when it was released 27th September. Nordic Release was that day I bought it, UK day after 28th September, and sadly for US it's not release before 9th October.. Really strange it's get released much later then Scandinavia and UK. I'm from Norway if anyone wonders :)

    The game is nothing more then just AWESOME, verry hard game if you turn of all the help with passes, crossings, shoots etc, and to have help with the switching players, I have turned it all of, and Manuel on all the helps. It's verry hard when you not got any help, but then you get it as realistic as possible.

    But I have a problem with my game I think.. My Game is crashing, and not running smoothly, it lagges when you see the starting lineup, and after half time, and after the game, and if players miss chances noe idea why, and running verry slow in the menu, I talked to alot of persons about it, even EA Support Norway, they told it could be because X-Box got 256 MB more RAM compared to PS3, and that the PS3 version not been made as good as it could have been, since PS3 should have no problems at all running the games totally 100 smooth. And the person I bought it from in the EB game store near me, told the PS3 did not need those Extra RAM to runn games perfectly, so I'm confussed of all the different answers for my problem, and I'm unsure if it's a mistake with the game, or my SoftWare in my PS3 that cause it, or that the game for PS3 just are like that. Since I know EA told they had problems making the versions for PS3 as good as they want, since the PS3 consolle is so new so far..

    I wonder if anyone else that got the game so far having any problems like I had so far with the PS3 version for Fifa 08? All help is greatly appreciated :) I'm gonne Try get a new game this week, I will change the one I got to see if that helps. I hope so, if not maybe I have to change my PS3, since then maybe it's something wrong with my PS3..

    But I can highly recommend Fifa 08 for PS3, or X-Box 360

    MY GF got Fifa 08 for X-Box 360 Elite, it runns smooth all over the game, fast in the menu, no lagging in the game at all. So it's sounds strange the PS3 versions should have those problems.. I really hope someone hear can help me, or after the persons in US buy it this week, can tell if they got the same problems.. I would really appreciate any help :)

    Have a great Sunday everyone :)

    Hope for some replys soon :)

    C'ya all later :)

    Best & Kindest Regards Espen.
