To give you a greater feel of participating all eight stadiums are lovingly recreated. It is obvious that a lot of time and attention has been paid to creating player likenesses and a first (for me) actual team manager likenesses, too. Miss a golden opportunity and you are now faced with rather sour looking Steve McClaren in a tracksuit, what a joy. Something new to the franchise is the Battle of the Nations tournament.
Beautifully described by the enigmatic Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend as you load up the game. Essentially this feature means that whenever you play a game in Euro 2008 as long as you are connected to the internet your scores with be added to an online leaderboard where the nations are battling it out until the end of the actual real world tournament. When you start you are asked to choose a country you would like to represent, this doesn't have to be your own country but once selected it cannot be changed. Then throughout playing the rest of the game you are awarded points for your performances, you do not need to play as your chosen country for these points to count. Play as a worse country against stiffer opposition and you will earn more points."
