FIFA 08: four-player co-op "only the beginning"

Speaking to CVG, last-gen producer Paul Hossack said the four-player co-op mode, which has gamers controlling a single player on the pitch, is just a small preview of what's to come.

It's "only the beginning," he said. "One thing we aspire to get to is an 11 vs. 11 online scenario. That's not something we're delivering this year, but what you have in Be a Pro co-op season is a really good first step, because to get to 11 vs. 11 we have to make sure that people start off on the right foot and get used to playing together as one player."

this should definitely be interesting, I just wonder if it will turn into a fight to see who controls the big names in the sport.

Havince6117d ago

pro evo 2008 said they are doing 11 vs 11

DiLeCtioN6116d ago

if they are doing that...that means new online features like clans groups will be there,cant wait.
PES FTW

SofaKingReetodded6117d ago

employ sixaxis to maneuvre your player in an expanded version of the over the should style cam so you can actually see the ball aswell.

omansteveo6116d ago

EA! Try bringing back the ability to do 2-players on the same team in Madden and NCAA

kg056116d ago

i want 5 on 5 hockey, it should b compatible this year, i hope seeing as though u can have 4-players in the past...maybe 10 now?....

on another note, football is alright with multi-player, i dont like it much on offense but defense owns when u have 2 ppl in control.

PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far

I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.

presto7174960d ago

Fifa 10 was good, but have you seen Fifa 11? NOt that much of a step up from 10. Pro Evo 2010 was not that good, but so far, what I've seen of Pro Evo 2011 blows anything and everything Fifa out of the water.

Pro Evo is back to reclaim the number 1 spot.

ad4mb4960d ago

just because pes has improved alot over pes 10 dont mean much, its still the same robotic game it has been for a while. and if you have played fifa 10 then moved to 11 its improved on a lot on what was already a great game.

Anderson84960d ago

agreed, pes11 is an improvement on last yr but it still lags way behind fifa at this point.. all the same issues that make it bad are still their

nix4960d ago

PES 11 is the Demon's Souls of soccer. and I LOVE IT!

Samus HD4960d ago

pes was good till 2011
it's a fail - they tried to change the gameplay for good but they ruined it

Cheeky Gamer4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

It's a shame that people such as yourself are still stuck in the dark days, clinging onto the hope that PES will be what it once was.

I was a huge fan of PES back in the day - as big as you could get, really - and I still believe that PES 5 and 6 are the best football games of all time. But I played the PES 2011 demo and deleted it after two games, because it's just horrible. Passing is decent, but that's about it; the player movement still borders on robotic, shooting is way too floaty and the presentation is mediocre.

If you really believe that the 'King' is back, then you must have a very short memory. PES this generation has absolutely nothing on the old games, nor does it have anything on FIFA this gen either; its rival is superior in almost every way.

to its awsome best, therefore alot better than fifa arcade football 11

Jamaicangmr4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

It's actually a step down, they ruined the Fifa 10 formula and this is coming from a Fifa player. Am not a PES fan so i really don't know if the new one is good or not. My angle is the fact that EA messed up Fifa 11, i have spoken to many diehard fifa fans that feel the same way. Some are considering to just stick with 10 and see what 12 is like.

Cheeky Gamer4960d ago

FIFA 11 is superior to FIFA 10 in practically every way, without a doubt. I find it laughable that anyone could think any different.

FIFA 10 was a great game, but it had way too many flaws. FIFA 11 is a much more refined experience, and is all the better for it.

e-p-ayeaH4960d ago

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

ELite_Ghost4960d ago

pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement

AKA4960d ago

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 Editorial: Football Rivalries

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."
