Customer Reviews for FIFA Soccer 08 - PlayStation 2

SynopsisAn entire stadium full of devoted fans waits on your every move. Some hope your team will be the one to beat; others revel in your defeat. Which will be your fate? Make the decision in FIFA Soccer 08, which features newer manual controls, more aggressive tackling and more physical play than ever before in the FIFA Soccer series. The new Be A Pro: Co-op Season mode lets you master the same disciplines as a real pro soccer player, from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing. Create a player and develop his skills one at a time over the season until he's an elite pro. Next, take the focus off of a single team member and concentrate on dictating entire plays with new manual controls. Make decisions regarding through-passing and crossing, and control the goalkeeper in intense one-on-one situations when the striker makes his move. Quickly switch defenders and choose exactly who you want to control when defending. Plus, new defensive and positioning logic ensures players are in the right place at the right time. Intelligently manage your club using new custom formations to prepare for each specific opponent. Design a unique strategy to create the perfect formation and tactics, and assign roles and move players to the exact position in relation to teammates to undermine the opposition. Throughout every game, you'll have to constantly consider all threats and opportunities. In addition to individual control, FIFA Soccer 08 offers extensive interaction that will thrill fans old and new. Online Football Clubs enable you to form your own group of like-minded soccer fans and take on challengers online. The better you play, the higher your Football Club climbs up the rankings. Demonstrate your skills in Interactive Leagues or by challenging other Football Clubs to a grudge-match tournament. You can also complete individual challenges to develop your players' abilities and win glory for the squad.
