EA SPORTS FIFA 08 IN STORES NOW!

 

Authentic, Intelligent Football Season Extended for Next-Gen Console Players with Be A Pro Post-Launch Feature

 

 

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – September 28, 2007 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) shipped FIFA 08 to stores throughout Europe today on all platforms, providing sports fans with a football videogame experience that matches the complexity, finesse and beauty of the real-world game. Further extending the season for players on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, next month, EA SPORTS will offer a free downloadable feature update* to FIFA 08 called Be A Pro: Online Team Play that will enable ten people anywhere in the world to connect online to play a single match of FIFA 08.

 

Developed by EA, FIFA 08 challenges players to master the skills required to play like a pro football player by introducing a new mode called Be A Pro: Offline Training. Be A Pro locks you into the role of a single, fixed player the entire game and challenges you to master the same disciplines as a real football player—from positioning and tackling to reading the field and passing. Users receive real time feedback and analysis on the fly and a unique camera angle keeps both player and action in focus, zooming in when youʼre on attack.

 

With the launch of FIFA 08 on PLAYSTATION®3, football fans and gamers can now kick-off their campaign to show off their gaming skills on the global stage as the online tournament of the fourth annual FIFA Interactive World Cup begins on PLAYSTATION®Network. The online leg will run parallel to numerous live qualifier events across the globe from October ʼ07 through April ʽ08. The tournament is the worldʼs only officially FIFA sanctioned global football gaming competition and delivers all the excitement of being on the real FIFA World Cup football pitch. It will culminate in the Grand Final in the Sony Centre in Berlin in May 2008 and will see the winner walk away with an invitation to the FIFA World Player Gala 2008 and USD $20,000 in prize money. For official rules and to register and keep track of your ranking on the FIFA Interactive World Cup leaderboard, go to http://www.FIFA.com/FIWC.

 

FIFA 08 features a new, organic building-block system that enables you to combine tricks and skill moves together to recreate signature moves from the real-world superstars or define your own style of play. You can even capture video of your best moves and goals in-game and upload to the FIFA 08 website to show off your style and celebrate your glory with friends across the globe. In addition, FIFA 08 features a true next-generation ball-striking engine that re-creates the drama and unpredictable nature of shooting, and the inclusion of 576 licensed teams, 30 leagues, and more than 15,000 players.

 

The new Be A Pro: Online Team Play feature, available for the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 in November, enables up to five friends on five different consoles to select and take control of their own individual players on the same team, supported by AI teammates, to play against up to five rivals of another team. Alternatively, online users can select to play with free roaming players, and teams can have a combination of both.

 

In addition to Be A Pro: Online Team Play, the online feature set in FIFA 08 includes the award-winning Interactive Leagues, where you represent your club online against your rivals throughout the season in the F.A. Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division and features weekly in-game pod casts by the development team, and Online Leagues, where you create and organize your own multiplayer Friends Leagues and tournaments with all the tools in-game.

 

This year FIFA 08 debuts on the Wii™, enabling fans to pass, shoot, and perform trick moves all with a flick of the wrist. The gameʼs revolutionary FreeMotion™ controls help level the playing field for all players and turns FIFA 08 on the Wii into a physical, social activity. Cover athlete Ronaldinho is the first professional football player to appear as a customized and playable character exclusively for the Wii. Ronaldinho will host a game mode called Footii Party with Ronaldinho. With this mode, EA introduces unique party games - including Table Football, Keep Up and Shoot Off – where you can play as your self-created Mii™ character to unlock Ronaldinho and take on the champ. Each Footii Party game is created as a multiplayer, social experience designed to engage and entertain fans of all ages.

 

FIFA 08, developed by EA Canada in Vancouver, B.C., is in stores now for the Xbox 360™, PLAYSTATION®3, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Wii™, Nintendo DS™, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, PC and mobile. It is rated 3+ by PEGI. Screenshots can be downloaded at http://info.ea.com.

FIFA 08': My Take.

 

Posted by JayD at 08:05

Well well, after months of waiting and speculation, FIFA 08's is finally upon us following it's PAL release today, but has it been worth the wait?

 

I'm pleased, well actually delighted to say a big resounding YES!! EA have really captured the beautiful game in this title and have put together a polished package which is certain to keep many football fans happy over the coming year.

So what's the big deal? I hear you ask, well I'll just try and give my opinion on why I feel FIFA is now the definitive console football game out there.

 

Firstly, as always with EA and the FIFA series the presentation is top notch, from the front end menus to the music selection which all combine to make FIFA look and sound great. The menus are easily navigated once you know where things are and seamlessly pop in and out of each other. The accompanying music score also caters for all, so there will probably be something in there for you to nod your head to. Another interesting addition is the selectable podcasts which you can choose to have playing in the background while you navigate around the front end, there are a few to choose from and they are available in varying languages as well, so everyone is catered for. The only gripe with these are, if they are not updated frequently they will become very boring and tedious and will probably just be turned off after a while.

 

Next we'll look at the graphics and again EA has done a great job here. Everything from the pitches and stadiums to the kits and boots look fantastic. But as always nothing in this life is perfect and the players faces could do with a lot of work and look for the most uninspiring, there are of course a few exceptions to this but all in all it's definitely not one of FIFA's strong points. Player animation however is excellent and there's plenty to marvel at, whether it be colliding with an opponent or hurdling an onrushing defender, thanks to EA's motion capture technology the animation looks fluid and blends seamlessly into the game.

 

Another plus point to FIFA 08' is the in game sound, they have really captured the excitement of a live football match with hundreds of authentic crowds chants and noises blasting out in Dolby 5.1 surround sound, so whether your playing as the mighty Arsenal or the lowly Tranmere ( sorry Chris ) you're able to enjoy an authentic atmosphere, which goes a long way to adding to the overall experience. Next on the sound front is the commentary, which is provided by the long running SKY partnership of Andy Gray and Martin Tyler and what a job they have done here, both provided detailed commentary of events on the field and have an array of stats about individual clubs and players which are often used in any breaks in goal mouth action etc. Again, for all it's good points there are a few faults, such as slight delays in commentating on what's going on, I had an instance when a shot hit the post and went in and Martin Tyler went on about how close the effort was etc and Andy Gray even joined in, then about 5 seconds later they ecstatically shouted GOAL!!, even though we were about to kick off again. Still it doesn't detract from the great job the commentary team do and is definatly the best in any football game ever!

 

Next we'll look at the game options and customization abilities. Right from the outset when you select the quick match option you realize this is the most comprehensive football title ever released. Here are some screen to emphasis what I mean;

 

 

These first 2 screens show the create a tournament mode. In this mode you can choose any type of league or cup format and contrary to what IGN said in their review you do not have to play the final at the home teams ground and this is clearly demonstrated in the second picture.

Next we have some pics of the main front end menus and there are tons to navigate through.

 

 

1.JPG2.JPG3.JPG4.JPG5.JPG

 

 

With 30 official licensed leagues and a selection of international teams as well, this all combines to offer the complete package with something to do for everyone. This was one of my major gripes concerning the last 2 FIFA's and thankfully EA has addressed it and then some.

 

Let's now look at the online aspects. The basic premise is very similar to EA's last incarnation Uefa Champions League but with a few important additions. FIFA 08' brings interactive leagues to the Next Gen platforms for the first time, those who already played the PS2 version from 07' will know all about this but for those new it basically allows you to mimic your teams real life fixtures and play against fans of the same team your club is facing that weekend. All the results are totaled up and the club with the most win percentage gets the win for that match. I have tried it a few times and everything seems straight forward and definitely adds something more than just your bog standard friendly. The next new feature is the online leagues, now this is excellent. It allows a person to create and moderate a league and restrict who enters it. All the data is stored on a central server and the participants can play their fixtures in any order until completion. I'm already involved in on, which is organized by my esteemed colleague Chris ;) and even though I'm not setting the world on fire I'm enjoying it immensely. However there is one major annoyance with this, someone somewhere came up with the brain child to only allow odd number of games between the participants i.e play each other 1,3,5 times and so on. This is unheard of in real life and I hope EA patch this as soon as possible.

Playing and finding games online is also a doddle with quick match options finding you an opponent in seconds.

HOWEVER THERE IS A MAJOR BUG WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED; IF YOU SELECT ANY OTHER PLAYER EXCEPT RONALDINHO TO BE YOUR ARENA CONTROLLED PLAYER, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO DOWNLOAD AND SAVE A SQUAD UPDATE EVERY SINGLE MATCH YOU PLAY WHICH IS TIME CONSUMING AS WELL AS INFURIATING. HOWEVER SELECTING RONALDINHO ELIMINATES THIS PROBLEM BUT IT'S ONE I HOPE IS PATCHED ASAP.

There's also the soon to be released add on which allow 5 v 5 online but as this feature is not yet implemented I can't comment on it.

 

Now all of the things I've mentioned before would render themselves useless if EA messed up on the most important thing in any football game and that's obviously the gameplay. Thankfully EA are aiming for perfection now and have really produced a tight, rewarding experience this time around.

 

The first thing that strikes you is the slower deliberate pace of the game, which may seem strange to those who are use to playing other football games, but this really adds to realistic simulation experience EA are trying to create.

What EA have done is catered for a lot of people in this version by offering varying degrees of assistance that can be provided by the CPU to help you along. The passing, shooting, crossing, through balls and long passes can be set to varying degrees.

These are;

 

  • Assisted - Which Basically means the computer controls the direction and power for you often and chooses the best option.
  • Semi - This gives you much more freedom and allows you to choose the direction and power but the CPU helps you to aim for the player or place in the goal in that general direction.
  • Manual - This is the experts choice and gives you total freedom to do whatever you want.

Me, I use Semi on most but sometimes Manual for though balls and long passes, but as I get better I hope to go manual all the way.

 

As for playing you really have to think about what you are doing as kicking and rushing will often only leave you with exhausted players and not much else to show. You have to play as you would in real life, you can't just dribble all the way around the pitch as defending and attacking is finally balanced to counteract this.

A major addition to the gameplay is the introduction of skill moves which are performed with either LT or LB and the right analogue stick and this truly is a next gen integration, the skills flow so seamlessly with the game and the animations are a sight to behold. But as mentioned before even the best players can't trick his way through the whole team thanks to the much improved defensive system. Another good thing about the system is that only the more skilled players can perform the more advanced tricks , so while big Phil Senderos could maybe drop a shoulder now and then get him to attempt a flip flap and he'll probably fall flat on his arse.

But the biggest improvement is the brand new shooting system which to put it bluntly is amazing, the closest thing yet to realism in a football game. Shots now swerve, dip and pee roll due to many different factors and really give the game that 'every goal is different' feel.

The players also really feel and look different which is a major improvement for FIFA 08' over it's predecessors.

Goalkeepers while on the whole are very good are sometimes prone to the odd silly lapse which is even outside the realms of reality but this is very, very rare so is nothing to get too excited about.

 

 

I've babbled on for long enough now and I doubt there are many who have even made it this far but all in all I'm delighted with this latest installment of FIFA. I haven't even mentioned BE A PRO mode or manager mode yet and I'll update you all once I delve into that also.

 

  • Graphics - 8 - Nice stadiums, kits and animations only let down by some of the faces and the crowd could also be improved upon. Some of the lighting could also do with being reworked but all in all a very good looking game.
  • Sound - 9 - Great atmosphere inside the grounds and very good commentary provided by Tyler and Gray, who apart from the odd balls up now and then, capture the match scenario very well.
  • Presentation - 8 - Not much wrong but the amount of menus may prove daunting for some.
  • Gameplay - 8.5 - Plays a very good game of football, some people may find the response difficult to adjust to and the simulation experience may not be for all.
  • Longetivity - 9.5 - With a host of official tournaments, user creatable ones, online games and leagues, the comprehensive manager mode and the innovative BE A PRO mode there's enough to keep even the most hardcore player occupied till the next installment.
  • Next Gen worthiness - 9 - An odd category I know, but an important one however in my opinion, many games failto utilize the power of next gen consoles but EA IMO with the redesigned game engine are really pushing the boundaries in football games, adding many more calculations etc to make a more realistic experience for us all.
  • OVERALL - 8.7 - A great effort by EA and it now IMO has the definitive football game on the market. A massive step up from it's predecessors and it's deep gameplay combined with steep learning curve serve up a football fans treat. A few extras here and there could have made this a solid 9 but an 8.7 is still a great score. The best thing is that EA are listening and communicating with us fans and gamers alike and are constantly striving to improve the product and it's not inconceivable that by the next installment we may have gaming perfection for a football title.
