FIFA 2009 News: FIFA 08 The Confirmed Leagues

  • Norman Garcia · 2 years ago
    Could u include the argentinan league because those leagues are way better to the 3 new leagues getting put in my opinion
  • Matthew · 2 years ago
    Argentina, Romania and Greece should definitely be added. I'd even go as far as the A-League in Australia as well.
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    Its not always easy to get licenses for every league. If I remember correctly, the German league license was pretty tough to get.

    It doesn't look like the Argentinian, Greek and Romanian leagues are added in this edition. The Australian is through.
  • ruben garcia · 2 years ago
    I thought that we where going more latin american leagues but as long as I get primera division mexicana ill be happy and allways be a fifa soccer fan but I hope we get more latin american leagues next year.peace.
  • Renay · 2 years ago
    Premiership and division leagues must be in it!!!
  • John Garces · 2 years ago
    What happened with the ARGENTIMIAN LEAGUE, for me... one of the most competitive!!!
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    Renay:
    The Premiership and division leagues are in FIFA 08

    John:
    It doesn't look the Argentinian league will be in FIFA 08, I'm sorry.
  • Kraig · 2 years ago
    Will these leagues be on the x-box 360 version as well? If not then I will just stick to the PC version although I would much rather play this on by big screen HD TV with my friends! :)
  • jonathan · 2 years ago
    what happende with the argentinian league? we all still waiting for fifa to come out with this league.. i guess fifa doesnt know what people really want.
    i just cant belive that one of the best league in the world is not there. boca and river are not enough we want all the teams.

    i think fifa should a least get the best teams from south america and put them all together on a league a least do that. boca river san lorenzo colo colo u chile.. penarol danubio. medellin nacional olmedo i dont kno ppl want more teams ..
    we dont want spanish segunda football league two i dont think anybody plays with those teams

    fifa should do what ppl want not what money decides
  • jonathan · 2 years ago
    EA should make memorycards with the argentinian league as an add
  • a-league maniac · 2 years ago
    THANK GOD THE A-LEAGUE IS INCLUDED ADELAIDE UNITED F.C 4 LIFE
  • Liverpoll FC supporter · 2 years ago
    Please make a ps2 version for this game because I enjoy the fifa soccer a lot
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago

    Did you read this post? http://www.fifa2008news.com/fifa-08-on-playstat...
  • jenks · 2 years ago
    THE WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE IS ON FIFA 08 !!

    THANK GOD!!!!!!!
  • Gonzalo Perez-Beck · 2 years ago
    I can't believe the Argentinian League isn't on Fifa's list. It makes more news than the Mexican League. Most of the European and Mexican club teams recruit and replenish their roster from Argentina. It's about time, they get in the game. It is truly one of the most competitive leagues, more so than the Brazilian and Mexican combined. Please for the sake of futbol around the world, put Argentina in!!!
  • h3ktikarm0 · 2 years ago
    omg thankgod the a-league is in it

    cant wait to play
  • WeWantArgentinianLeague · 2 years ago
    Argentina Deserves to be in the game espesially since they are one of the top leagues in the WORLD. They could atleast make it so we have more Argentina teams in the Rest Of World.
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    Will the serie a and b leagues be fully licensed because the correct badges are never included nor the league logo LEGA CALCIO!
    Please someone answer
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    I'll get in contact with EA Sports and mail them your concerns.

    I'm sorry about the Argentinian league, but it doesn't look like its there.
  • ray · 2 years ago
    Is it true that there is only going to be 7 leagues in the xbox 360 version of fifa 2008
  • Ricardo Cabrera · 2 years ago
    They need to put more Eastern European teams, CSKA Moscow, Red Star Belgrade, etc. just to make it more fun. They also need to put the Argentinian league along with other various South American teams such as Colo-Colo, Alianza Lima, Defensor Sporting, Cienciano del Cuzc, etc. They really need to get rid of one the English leagues, they have like 5 of them.
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    I think they should put the Scottish First Division in and I agree they should include the Argentinian League and some Eastern European teams aswell.
  • XViva La JoshX · 2 years ago
    Im glad the spl is back as im a HUGE Rangers fan + the Northern Irish league should be there as it was the worlds first ever orginised football league.
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    Dennis Bjørn Petersen, do you mind emailing ea about my concerns as well, from Aug. 2, it would be much appreciated.
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    Ray:
    There will be 30 leagues in the Xbox360 version

    Ricardo:
    I think there are more customers in the English leagues. Not many people know much about the Argentinian league. I guess EA Sports know where most of their games are bought?! I'm not sure it's just a theory.

    Gazza:
    I think we'll have to settle for the Scottish PL this time. I'm not sure the first division is known outside of Britain at all ;)

    XViva:
    I didn't know the Irish League was the first organised league. Thank you for sharing.

    Itai:
    I'll mention that in my next mail to EA Sports.
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    lol..i know the scottish leagues are terrible
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    thanks, appreciate it cause its really getting on my nerves.
  • Marijuana · 2 years ago
    Leagues; Argentinian,Romanian,Greece!!!!!!!!!


    THIS 3 LEAGUES MUST BE ADDED EA SPORTS!!!



    I CANNOT BELIVE THAT YOU PUT 5 DIVISIONS FROM ENGLAND AND NOT ONLY 1 or 2 at least.. and replace them with ARGENTINIAN ROMANIAN AND GREECE... SO PPL WILL ENJOY MORE.. I DON T THINK PPL PLAY WITH TEAMS FROM ENGLAND FROM 4TH DIVISION OMG OMG REALLY BAD EA SPORTS!
  • thomas · 2 years ago
    go a-leauge it sohuld be in there. the argentine league is much 2 poor. but hte greek league should defintly be in there.
  • thomas · 2 years ago
    eww scottish leagues are amazing what league do u think is better paki
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    they shood put scottish 1st div in instead of the english leagues 1 n 2. Dennis Bjørn Petersen, is it possible 4 you 2 maybe e-mail this 2 ea. it would be much appreciated lol.
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    there's no need to mock me gazza
  • branko · 2 years ago
    serbian clubs red star and partizan belgrade
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    sorry i didnt meen to. ye serbian clubs n russian clubs n stuff. i would take out the k-league coz i think its rubbish.
  • Matias · 2 years ago
    so what happend to the argentine league they going to be on the fifa 08...
  • Senti · 2 years ago
    I think tha romanian league deserves a spot in fifa 2008 atleast some teams in rest of the world..... If you look at the incredible developement of the romanian teams in the last years you may agree with me. Three years ago neither romanian team played in european cups .. last year there have been 3 teams in Uefa Cup and one in Champions League Groups. This year we could have 2 teams in Chamions League cup. In the 30 leagues included are some leagues that shouldn`t be there.... like Polish Orange Ekstraklasa who hasn`t got one team in Champions League Groups for 11 years.
    STEAUA BUCHAREST FOREVER!
  • Senti · 2 years ago
    European football is teh best! Fifa 2008 should have patches with Greek Argentinian and Romanian leagues if they aren`t in the game.
  • jesper · 2 years ago
    heyy!!! Dennis Bo Sörensen can you please tell me if it ever will be possible to get a fantasy mode included in the game?? i would really like to play a league with all of my favorite teams!!! DKpower wehee sädan skal det lyde :D
  • jesper · 2 years ago
    oh yearh i forgot a question, can you tell me if ea has done anything to make the goalkeeper a little more "alive" because i think the he has been too much still standing in both 06 and 07 (mostly in 06) and it has really bothered me that sometimes the goalkeeper is just standing the waiting for you to shoot the ball in the net and then reacting an half hour later...please give some feedback on this also :)
  • stephen · 2 years ago
    Im so happy FAI is on FIFA 08, im Irish, and ive been waiten since FIFA 2003 for FAI league.I know no one outside Ireland will know the teams but i still am happy
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    i also think the referee and linesmen should be visible during a match. i think that the leagues in manager mode should be harder to win as i play fifa 07 on the highest difficulty level yet i win the league by like 20 points. i would really like to see another scottish division in there although most people outside britain wouldnt know who they are.
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    Jesper:
    Dennis Bo Sørensen is pretty close to my name: Dennis Bjørn Petersen =P Don't worry though I'll still answer your question. Take a look at the first video here: http://www.fifa2008news.com/fifa-08-two-new-vid...

    It demonstrates how you can control the goal keeper and explore this site. I'm pretty sure it will answer a lot of your questions ;)

    Stephen:
    YAY! I'm glad I made your day. You are the first one to comment on the Irish league. Thank you very much for dropping by.

    Gazza:
    Remind me never to play you online ;) There isn't any news on the referees yet.
  • Sebastian · 2 years ago
    Hey can we get the colombian leuge....this games needs more leuges no one cares about the League of Ireland...lets get argentinian and colombian we need more teams from south america.
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    does anyone know who will be on the cover of the british fifa yet?
  • BGEURO · 2 years ago
    Bulgarian Vysha Liga. Or atleast Levski CSKA and Litex in the rest of world. Also, stop puting stupid ugly ronaldinho on the cover. I'm tired of looking at his ugly face on every FIFA box. Cannavaro or Totti should be on the cover, maybe Buffon.
  • Mr x · 2 years ago
    Hey im irish and We have a pretty decent league!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    i thin there should be at least 2 scottish stadiums on fifa. ibrox and celtic park and maybe even hampden. they are alot bigger than some of the stadiums on previous fifa games. i also think that u could be able to create new strips for teams in manager mode like pes..but make it more realistic with a number of different makes and sponsors to put on them.
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    Dennis Bjørn Petersen, any word on my previous query? I would love to hear from you, thanks.
  • Ruslan Pavlov · 2 years ago
    Put the Russian Premier lEague in it, you guys have no idea how much it grew, we have two clubs in champions league, CSKA and Spartak, CSKA beat ARSENAL and than tied them last year. Our league is growing and you should put them in instead of this K-League or Turkish League Russian Football owns and you will see in Euro 08, and Champions League 08... PUT THEM IN!!!!!!!!!!!
  • dinx · 2 years ago

  • Jo · 2 years ago
    i was just wondering where JENKS found out that the welsh premier league was gonna be on fifa 08 because i cannot find proof.

    has anyone else heard that the welsh league will be on fifa 08.
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    i completely agree that the English 1 and 2 leagues should be removed, there's no reason why they're there but it seems that the English fans make up most of the buying population.
  • Jesper · 2 years ago
    Dennis Bjørn Petersen: (yay got it right this time :P)
    Actually you did not answer my question about the goalkeeper, you only gave me info i allready knew(not planning to use it very much) the thing i wanted answered is when i got the ball on a breakaway or something like that, will the goalkeeper then be more alive?? or is it still going to be too easy scoring goals when you get close to goal (in fifa 06 and 07 i think that it's like a bug that make the goalkeeper stand still......i hope you can tell me if they have done anything in that area....thanx XD
  • Jesper · 2 years ago
    oh yearh and Alex i dont think you have any idea how many people in Denmark plays this game..that i would guess is why they got the Danish league in fifa, everyone from Denmark plays the danish league....well almost all :P
    and really i think that is more than would ever like to play the serbian and croatian league!!
  • Jesper · 2 years ago
    actually i would like to have the russian league in, that would be fun, and also the finnish :P
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    Jesper:
    Thank you for getting my name right =P, but seriously I haven't seen anything yet that indicates whether the goalkeeper will be smarter or not, but since the AI is improved significantly I think we can assume that you will see a smarter goalkeeper in FIFA 08.

    EA Sports is currently reading through this site and they will very soon answer most of the questions here ;)
  • Jesper · 2 years ago
    thanks for your reply Dennis ;)
  • Gazza · 2 years ago
    no one has answered my questions either lol :( will there be any scottish stadiums on this game and does anyone know who will be on the cover of the british fifa game? please someone reply.
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    For any representative of EA who may read this: Why is it that the Italian Serie a and b league teams do not wear the proper sleeve badges and why is it that the Italian league is the only league IN THE GAME without the proper logo, the Lega Calcio. Are these leagues not fully licensed or what, is there a problem with TIM (the leagues' major sponsor for rights), please answer someone! If the EA representative is not familiar with the Lega Calcio, the governing body of serie a and b please visit:http://www.lega-calcio.it/eng/index.shtml and look at the middle top page to see the logo. Thank you
  • ADD the Romanian league · 2 years ago
    No Romanian league yet? FIFA needs to add the ROMANIAN league!!! what about the Romanian champion league teams that are in there? Steaua Bucuresti and Dinamo Bucuresti...what happen to them??? Add the Romanian League PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    Hey Petersen, so much for an answer to my question and so much for EA responding to my query.
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    Itai football advocate:

    I'm sorry for not answering your question, but is it based on FIFA 07 or something you've seen from FIFA 08?

    I haven't seen any screen shots from Italian teams from FIFA 08 yet, so I think this is too early to answer.
  • itai football advocate · 2 years ago
    My question is clearly stated in the august 15th comment is it possible to forward this to EA as you did for the other questions. It occurred in FIFA 07 and was wondering if that would change in FIFA 08. Thank You
  • joseph Alumiscious · 1 year ago
    Greek League, Romanian League, and Argwntinian leagues! I have a better idea! ALL THESE YEARS AND THEY CANNOT ADD 50 or 60 leagues? this is shameful!at this rate, we wont get all these leagues for another 100 years! Oh, I'm sorry! When we are forced to change systems, they will make bs excuses and eliminate leagues. Do any of you remember the Greek league on PS1?
