Simon · 2 years ago

Thanks for the info. Forza Inter!

Raji · 2 years ago

Regarding when the PSN store updates: I emailed Sony about this issue and they said that the PSN updates anytime but usually towards Thursday and Friday nights.

jasper · 2 years ago

GUYS, let me just confirm, UK and US ps3 online stores update at different times? i tink its the case cause my frend in canad has more of the latest updates than me...if this is the case i wonder when the fifa demo is releaed in the US and UK. ny 1 no or who can answer my previous quewstrion?thanks.

Norton =] · 2 years ago

finally some official confirmation on quite possibly the best game of 2007. I have got this little beauty on preorder buh i haven't preordered halo 3 cos i feel they have released too much info to still be hyped about it, aswel as the public beta which i did take part in. FIFA gets bigger and better each year and this is no different. Although i was pretty disappointed with fifa 07s 6 or 7 leagues for 360 im glad 08 has got enough to keep me occupied in manager mode, be a pro and be a pro co-op season aswel as the online 5 vs 5 be a pro so i can finally play on the SAME team as my mates instead of havin to play against them =]

Jasper · 2 years ago

I AM A BIT CONFUSED! SUM 1 PLEASE ANSWER THIS: IF THE PS3 FIFA DEMO IS RELEASED THURSDAY 13TH SEPT, THEN DUS THAT MEAN UK TIME OR US TIME OR OTHER?ANY 1 NO PLESE? THANKS.

Batters · 2 years ago

I belive that the demo will be coming out on thursday morning, possibly around 10 a clock! This is the time most updates go on with the British store. And everyone can now stop asking question about which store it is, because here is your answer! With the Amercian store, it gets products weeks or days before the British store, (the Colin Mcrae Dirt demo has been out for weeks on the American, but merely a few days on the British)! So, if you do not see Fifa demo on the American now, or on Monday or Tuesday this week, it will be on there this Thursday with the British store! There u go!!!!!!

rafa (yes the reds boss) · 2 years ago

BATTERS-- VERY WELL EXPLAINED. NOW CMON FIFA I CANT FUCKING WAIT. ANY ONE KNOW IF THE BE A PRO MODE WILL BE ON THE DEMO

Richard · 2 years ago

Would you believe this lads - the day b4 the release of the fifa demo (probably the pinacle this far of owning the ps3!) and my machine dies! No, please not now. I nearly cried!

I have to say though, was on the phone to sony customer services just past 8 this morning and they have already arranged a courier to exchange for a new one tomorrow! wow, i'll still be able to play the fifa demo!

just wanted to share my moment of horror and subsquent moment of joy! Oh, and a big shout out to sony - my confidence in them is restored!

Jasper · 2 years ago

guys, at what TIME is the demo released tomorrow? i mean does it come out at 00.01am? or what? (in other words what time exctly does the ps3 online store update?)

celtic_fan · 2 years ago

@ oleg

And? At the end of the day the history books show that Celtic are in the Champions League and Moscow aren't.

ZiONLY · 2 years ago

Its still morning in Canada so i asume they will upload the servers within 5 to 6 hours and it will then be up to sony and microsoft's technical staff to upload to their servers.... i have to be in uni tom morning so i can only check the ps store some time in the afternoon. Any please guys do let as know here when once you played the demo. good luck everyone. bless

Batters · 2 years ago

For all those wondering about the time the Store gets updated, the schduled time of update is 10.00 AM. But this is just an estimate. A main update usually takes place at this time, but the update can happen any time between around 10.00 and 5.00. So make sure you keep checking in between those times!!

Jasper · 2 years ago

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg...just few hours away now guys :O. gonna go sleep (if i can) then downlosd the damn demo!!!!!!!i hope it will be good"""""!!!! :))))))))))))))))))

Argento · 2 years ago

Patience children, the time is almost upon us.....better be good and it better let us play a whole game not just a half like the Champions league Demo....

PLease update this as soon as it comes out and your first impressions...

Ronaldo · 2 years ago

To Argento:
Only lets u play one half.

luis · 2 years ago

so has anyone found it yet?

Simon · 2 years ago

Nope. just checked this morning here in Australia at about 10am and theres nothin on marketplace

Tony · 2 years ago

Nothing here either on the Playstation Network. It's 10:50pm in Miami, Florida.

I'm guessing they have an odd upload schedule. I remember the day Warhawk came out on PSN for download, it was 12pm over here (Eastern time USA) and there was nothing but apparently a while later (maybe a few hours?) it was on. So maybe Sony/Microsoft function in Pacific time, which makes sense since their corporate office is located there.

Hopefully this REALLY IS the confirmed date and not just some rumor.

@Simon - 12 hour difference. Crazy how it's morning over there. I'm getting ready to sleep over here! haha. Always amazes me.

Argento · 2 years ago

How do you know that Ronaldo?

Argento · 2 years ago

I was thinking of writing a message saying "It's finally here!!" and watch everyone go nuts trying to find it but that'd be low.....funny as all fu*k though.

Simon · 2 years ago

oh no! 12 hour difference hope that doesn't mean I have to wait and extra half a day! can't go on...must go on

parvez pudy lul · 2 years ago

I AM AWARE THAT SOME OF CANT SEE WHAT IT SAYS IN THE LINK, SO HERE THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS
We’re sorry to have to tell everyone that the FIFA 08 NG demo won’t be launching in Europe today as was expected. Although the demo is being released in North America there were a couple of issues which we couldn’t get ironed out in time to release today despite working through out the night to get these sorted.

We understand how disappointing this will be to everyone and we’re absolutely gutted this has happened.

VancouverBlade is currently over in the UK right now, attending a Community Day for FIFA and I was unfortunate enough to be with him as the news broke. It really was a massive downer for what was set to be a great day.

ton · 2 years ago

is it out on the aussie psn> can anybody please confirm?

Tony · 2 years ago

Just got to work but while at home the Playstation Network hadn't been updated. (it's 8:30am now, so that was around 7-7:30ish)

Sucks for me 'cause I'm going to be out of town tonight and tomorrow night. Oh well, Saturday/Sunday I'll have plenty of time to download and play.

You know... it might just be me but I'm not sure I want to play the demo at all. I kind of wanted to wait for the full game to be released. This would just be an unbearable tease! Especially considering that there's still a full month to the game release. *SIGH*

yelp · 2 years ago

I'm in Europe and I'm downloading now. Just setup a US account. Bit strange that they would release it in the states first, seeing as they don't really get "Soccer". I think this game will suck like 07, but i was impressed by this years vids, so I'm gonna give it a go, will probably be rubbish, AS ALWAYS.

aztecbolt · 2 years ago

are u downloading it on the ps3?

Tony · 2 years ago

@yelp - What exactly is it about FIFA that everybody hates on? The gameplay? While I've never played Pro Evo (though I plan to on their new version), I don't see how much gameplay would differ between the two games. Now that FIFA 08 is coming out with better gameplay/skill/moves I might see what everyones talking about. I guess I'm just the casual gamer who happens to love football (yes I call it football and I live in the U.S.A.) and thinks FIFA is REALLY fun, especially with friends.

@aztecbolt - I THINK he means a PS3 since he mentioned setting up a US account. Could be wrong though.

lfchoughton · 2 years ago

playin da demo for a few a hours now the games you play are a little harder , but learning and practising tricks in da arena is da best part of it , all i done woz create a new passport acount email but put it as U.S. instead then created new profile of xbox live , i had to makeup zip codes and a address but trust google 4 dat

tom · 2 years ago

downloadin fifa on ps3 on a uk account.

tom · 2 years ago

im downloadin fifa on ps3 and im doin it on a uk account

yelp · 2 years ago

@Tony. Believe me mate, once you get into Pro Evo there's simply no going back. Everything is much more fluid and more like the real game. The ball physics in FIFA is what really lets the game down, the way those longs passes just seem to float in the air, its the same as the crossing, it feels like its the computer doing it and not you. And it feels like the players are running in mud. Then there's the likeness of the players and apart from the Superstars, they look nothing like the real thing, they don't even look human a lot of the time, Look at Puyol and Neville when the players walk out before the game, looks absolutely nothing like them, which i can't understand, look at NBA and Madden, Why EA can get the players right for them games and can't for FIFA baffles me.
I was probably a little harsh in my post earlier, I'm just seriously pissed, because i really thopught this year was gonna see FIFA really challenge Pro Evo.

I'd love to see 2KSports have a go at making a football game. All there Sports games look and play brilliantly.

Oh and aztecbolt, I downloaded it on the 360, just setup a US account. Its simple to do.

Tony · 2 years ago

@yelp. Makes sense about the players "running in mud". I've gotten that on FIFA 07 on the Xbox (not the 360). There are some things that are a bit "aracade" I guess you can say. But now you have me worried and frustrated. And yea, the players at game start do look a little "wax" like, but I don't worry much about that. At least the crowd is actually 3D this time and not some cardboard/sprite.

Are you saying you downloaded the new demo and the gameplay/physics/feel of the game is STILL below Pro Evo? I really need to try the new Pro Evo when available. Hopefully (though not surely) they will fix more issues by the release of the game or with downloadable patches.

The only hope I have is still have is that you played it on the 360. It's "SUPPOSED" to be better on the PS3 (which is where I will play it). Apparently there was a team setup to work on the PS3 from the ground up. I don't see how much different it can be but I truly hope it IS better, even if only on the PS3.

Can anyone confirm?

yelp · 2 years ago

Well my guess is that it will run exactly the same on both. There really is no difference between this game and 07. And i don't know why, but they've really slowed down the pace of the game in this one. Full out sprints feel like nothing more than a jog.

Pro Evo doesn't have the slick visuals FIFA has, but thats the only area where it loses to FIFA. One thing I'll say to you though,if you plan on trying out Pro Evo, it's not an easy game to just pick up and play, you have to be patient with it. But when you start zipping the ball around, it's so much more satisfying than FIFA could ever be.

Tony · 2 years ago

Thanks for the heads up on Pro Evo. I'll keep that in mind when I play it. Shame that the visuals aren't as slick, but when actually playing you forget the graphics anyways, it really is about the fun factor and the gameplay.

Sucks to hear about the "sprints feel like nothing more than a jog".

And I have to wait until Saturday since I'm going to be out of town tonight and tomorrow night. Grrr.

GamerSoccer · 2 years ago

For the Xbox360 in europe(Portugal) the Fifa08 demo is avaliable..;)..

aztecbolt · 2 years ago

is it just my ps3 in the USA or is everyone elses taking hours to download?

Argento · 2 years ago

After waiting for so long for this demo I can give you my opinion on it. I played it this morning for around 2 hours before work. The first thing that must be said is that the tricks DO work well and ARE a nice addition to the game. The fact that u got unlimited time in the arena to bust some sick moves with Ronaldinho is a nice touch. The shooting has been improved somewhat but finesse shots are still too "lofty". The game itself seems to move in slow motion, and even at full sprint the players feel sluggish, maybe it's something one could get used to, but it didnt feel right. AI has improved DRAMATICALLY from 07 with players defending smartly and attckers running into space on their own. Passing works well but I got the impression that passes were too "weak", as if the ball was moving through "thick air" somehow, if that makes sense. I noticed that free kicks still have not got the options to bend the ball at will as in pro evo which is a shame. Animations are great as usual and graphics are pretty sick also. In summary, a definite improvement over Fifa 07 but I think Pro Evo is still king. WHY CANT FIFA GET IT RIGHT??????!!!!!

Tony · 2 years ago

@Argento - Say it isn't so. This sluggish movement and slow ball speed was mentioned by yelp before. I HOPE THIS IS FIXED BY THE RELEASE OF THE GAME! Makes zero sense why they would slow the game down.

Did you play on the PS3 or on the 360?

ZiONLY · 2 years ago

I played the game and my first impression was that the game is really I mean really well put. The movements of the players and the way they pass the ball are unbelievable. I think fifa finally got it right this time and by saying that I like to remind you all that this is still remains to be a demo so in the full version with the commentators and obviously with extra additions this game is going to be one of the best all time game. As the game is set to semi difficulty it’s heard to get the full potential of AI engine. But even with the semi difficulty the logic of the AI was impressive. I give 9 /10 for the game. I can understand why some people might of think this is feeling not like a fifa game is because when you have the ball u cannot run and zigzag players like previous edition. The game reacts realistically. My only say to fifa is if they can improve the animation and bring the next versions to 1080i or d than that would be great. Altogether I have to say although it’s a demo, this demo remains one of the best PS3 experiences I have ever had since the first day PS3 came out.

Tony · 2 years ago

@ZiONLY - You, sir, are my ray of light. lol! That's what I've been wanting to hear! Sad to hear about the sub 1080i.

I can't wait till I get this demo tomorrow *sigh*
