FIFA soccer 2008

EA Sports FIFA 2008 has officially hit the shelves! All stores throughout North America have received shipment of the latest FIFA edition, which has integrated the complexity and beauty of real life soccer into an engaging and interactive online sports experience. Not only will the season for players on the XBOX 360? and Playstation?3 be extended, but they will also be available online for an exclusive feature update, whereby up to 10 players can battle out their sports skills in a single match of FIFA 08 soccer. Titled "Be a Pro", and also available as a general offline game setting, the game will challenge players to master the skills and persistency required to become a soccer legend. This is achieved by locking a player into the role of a given soccer personality, such that they will be forced to master his disciplines and accustom their skills. Some of the elements that will be included are positioning, field reading, passing, and tackling, and a range of features such as zoom and automatic playback will allow players to improve speedily.

The game itself also boasts a variety of special features not yet seen on previous models. An example is the ability to recreate signature moves and develop a personal style of play by using an organic building block system that enables the combination of tricks and skills. Another is the ability to upload the video capture of your proudest game moments and moves to the FIFA soccer 08 website. And of course, there will be 578 teams offered from 30 leagues, including 15,000 life-like players.

The unprecedented controlling abilities also make FIFA soccer 08 an exhilarating social and physical activity. There will also be exclusive player operated games, such as "Ronaldinho`s Footii party". FIFA 08 is expected to reach platinum success, so if you're a soccer fan, you'll want to order your copy while there are still available stocks!
