Good game but.....
User Rating: 7 | FIFA Soccer 08 PS3
Visuals are great, soundtrack isn't bad either. The commentators need to wake up and show some excitement, or at least sound as though they want to be watching the game. The career mode is extremely deep, and the challenge mode and be a Pro mode are great. Here is my main problem that holds this game back from greatness...the gameplay sucks. I'm playing with manchester united, and i'll play against a terrible team that has no player rated above a 55. No matter who you're dribbling the ball with, or passing to...the other team WILL steal the ball, knock your player over without a foul being called, or just simply push you aside and start dribbling the other way. Also, I'll be on a dead sprint with C. Ronaldo, and a defender that has a sprint rating 30 points less than CRon will catch up with him, everytime. Also, if i try and steal the ball as easily as the AI can, it never works...i'll hold down the standing tackle button...and nothing happens, the opposing player just dribbles on past me. Also, why is the AI goalkeeper the best the world has ever seen? No matter how good/bad the player is rated, he makes a dozen saves-of-the-year per game. If FIFA could simply stop worrying so much about making the game look good, and spend maybe 30 minutes fixing the gameplay, it may have a chance at being great.
