Fifa 08 is a great game. I highly expected it to be. I have played almost every single fifa soccer game and each one keeps getting better and better. The graphics are always improving and how personalized you can get and how real the gameplay is just blows me away.
My favorite new features are Creating your own tournament and the become a pro feature, where you can take control of one player on the field and their position and work your way through matches at becoming a pro. I also think it's great how you're always doing something from managing your team, to creating a player, and going 1v1 with the goalie while a match is loading. Sometimes while I'm waiting for a match to start I'll even forget it's already loaded because I'll get to caught up with shooting on the keeper.
The way you can customize you own player is unbelievable to me. From changing the way your nose is shaped to what brand a cleats your whereing. The commentating is amazing also. That really is what makes the gameplay special. It feels like you're actually in the game or listening to it on television.
Anyway EA has done it again and with Fifa 09 soon coming our way I won't know what to expect because what more could they do to make the series even more incredible. Still I've been highly anticipating this game Fifa 09 will over new additions like over 250 core gameplay enhancements that deliver most responsive, intelligent, and realistic action ever. Also costum team tactics, Be A Pro:Seasons, improved goalkeeping intelligence and customized controlls.
The epic fight between the two soccer giants Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA has been going on for over 10 years now. Cynamite takes a look at the scores from both games and shows, at which point PES overtook the FIFA series.
PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far
I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.
2000 - 2005 -> PES dominated since the PS1 days but then it came PES 2006 it was a major letdown
2006 - NOW -> Fifa started to show its quality on this current gen and it evolved year after year while PES was still way behind.
A shame that games like "This is football" just vanished during the PS2 days
pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement
Its funny to read or talk to the FIFA fanboy they cant accept the true and hate PES.
If you go to the FIFA forums they talk Bs. About pes and they hate it.
In the Pes forums they respect Fifa and many will be getting the two and we aré confidente that PES11 is better and the kind is back

Boomtown writes: "No rivalry in the world of gaming is fiercer than the one between competing football franchises. It almost mirrors the strength of feeling people have for their club. Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
