FIFA 08 Release Date

South Africa is waiting 4 Fifa 08...T Matso

so when issit released in singapore? 28th?or 9th oct?

when will fifa 08 release in india..?? cant wait to get my hand on it....

got fifa08 yesterday (thanx to play.com), game play is much better and scoring is much harder then 07, you really have to keep your composure, probly the reason why I scored most of my goals with headers (not that that is entirly easy)not many stadiums added but lots of teams and leagues, including the irish league for some reason. Defending is harder. less products to buy in the shops. more tournament modes. overall far greater then its predocesors. sorry but bye bye pes.

same too with play.co.uk

Just to let everyone know, amazon started sending pre-orders of fifa08 out yesterday, two days before the release date.

Well...if you really can control the players shooting.....then how do you??.....you should specify some buttons or something...speak about facts...in Fifa you don't need to be an experienced player to control the shot...though i don't know how you control the shot in PES...it's just that you shoot...you don't have any options...and i don't mean controlling the shot in terms of its power..i mean in terms of how the shot would be taken...which part of the foot is gonna hit the ball...that's what i'm talking about...in fifa you could the shot from the same spot and the same power....but you could hit one way and it goes in...and another way and it goes out...that's what i mean by control....waiting for your reply,thanks..

If you think you cannot control players' shooting in PES/WE, then you're obviously a PES/WE noob,Abdou.

In terms of ball physics FIFA loses out.

But in terms of its updated player rosters, good audio commentary, better graphics (only for players but never the crowd, which look like flat pieces of paper), soundtrack, FIFA is better.

But if you do play football in real life, instead of just watching it on TV and shit, you'll realise that pro evo is the closest to the real thing that a game can get.

In conclusion, FIFA is only better cosmetically, and good for people who love good graphics over good football.

Been playing every fifa for about 15 years..

All current football games are wank tbh..

dont know why but they are.

heard tad in aus, the game has already been released

Same time as the U.K., all of Europe has the same release date.

when is fifa 08 out in europe ie germany DO NOT INCLUDE UK

you know....to be realistic and fair...Pro evolution Soccer has been better until 2007..fifa beat it because you know..let's take the shooting for example....and shooting is one of the most important aspects of the game...In Fifa 07...you could shoot by three ways...you could use a laces shot,a chipshot,or a finesse shot..and ofcourse the traditional lobshot....but in Pro Evolution...you shoot....but the player is one who decides how the shot will be taken..you just don't take full control of how you shoot....also the Pro Evolution Soccer lacks the Player run Capability....which is very important in creating spaces and thereby scoring chances if you wanna beet the oppostion's defence....and i know that you could set some special runs for some players in PES in Team management...but you can't do it inside the game while playing...and ofcourse Fifa Rules in terms of the quality of the graphics...you know if you're just a normal player who doesn't use all the features that games offer....you couldn't notice the difference..but if you're a true football lover..you'd definitely choose Fifa....and i'm waiting for Fifa 08...i think it's gonna ROCK!!!

Hey m a big fan of fifa 2 but i hav to admit dat pro evo's gameplay is a bit better compared to fifa...but still i hav fun playing fifa cuz personally i think its not only the gameplay dat makes u go crazy after a game.....there r a million reasons y i wud rather play fifa than pro evo...

so ... is it released on the 28th here in singapore or in uk... because i am not sure whether the release of fifa 08 in singapore is the same as us which is on the 9th of oct or same as uk which is on e 28th of sept... hope we get it on the same day as uk.. cnt wait for fifa 08 as uefa cl and fifa 07 is crap on the next gen

David Beckham is crap so don't say L.A. Galaxy please, unless you come from Califonia.

To the attention of our american friend's, What teams do you suppert and why (glory hunting is not a reason) so don't even say Man u, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

To Carl, I know americans and Canadians who only use fifa 08, they know nothink about football but even they know fifa is better, both games are widly available over there aswell, there is a reason why fifa out sells Pro evo world wide.

Guys u all mistaken i myself was a die hard fifa fan from the beginning and was convinced it was the best eva soccer sim until i played pro evo its so much better the gameplay and reliasm highly addictive but then again u americans no nothing about soccer only by brand names so get with the progam i did i converted

Anyone know how many leagues and teams the 360 has got this year?

Can't wait for fifa 08, it's the best. Glad there's even more teams to play against i.e. Mls. Pro evo used to have good game play but not anymore. P.S. Never even heard of Winning 11.

fifa is also better in terms of gameplay and graphics por evo is for raelly for averge gamers, wayne rooney and his team mates play fifa so u see only the betrs play fifa and average gamers play pro evo, i dnt mant to even speek about about this shit game starting 11 you americans are going on about its shit shit shit and absoloute shit.... souyh africa rules and fifa 08 can't wait

fifa is the bst football game in the world u americans know nothing about football the british boys knw best about football then south africans former african champs fifa 08 rules yeah!!

fifa 08 players can only see winning 11 sucks cause of the licensing, they just can't admit the gameplay kicks fifa 08's ass, Still fifa 08 might be good this year. emphasis on might!

Pro is so much better than Fifa. First off, anyone that still pays full money for a PS2 game is silly. Go out and get you a SwapMagic kit, then you can play your 'backup' games (ahem copies ahem).

With that being said, you can download fixes to the games that have all the teams. My Spanish version has ALL the teams, Premiership, spain, germany, italy, world, france, portugal including all the Spanish Segunda Division teams, plus commentary added in from Andres Montes.

And who said the goalies in Pro are bad? You must be joking

im outraged by the comments left by this aussie guy! im an aussie and not all australians are like that, he really is a dikhead.
but this is obviuosly fifa bisaed page but pro evo does it for me in terms of representing actual football. it takes longer to master though and often has a very steep learning curve b4 its fun

football?? we all know that Madden is the best FOOTBALL game. as for soccer...go with FIFA.

GO STEELERS!
GO GUNNERS!

Ahhhhhh u americans are so annoying with FOOTBALL games everybody who knows anything about FOOTBALL knows FIFA is the way forward if not FIFA i spose i could let off those who like PRO EVO maybe . . . .

FIFA rules all ENGLAND INVENTED FOOTBALL SO DONT CHANGE ITS NAME.

And shut up starting 11 is amongst the worst FOOTBALL games around.

Sorry to break this to you all, but it doesn't matter what nationality you are. Whether you're a septic tank yank or a slimy limey Pro Evolution has the more realistic game play... I am a huge fan of FIFA, have been since the beginning, but they themselves (EA) have widely expressed their desire to close the gap on gameplay with Pro Evo (Even the professionals Footballers in England play Pro Evo over FIFA). I eagerly anticipate FIFA 08 in hope that the have closed this gap. Two things FIFA have going for them is the licensing and the goalkeepers (Pro Evo never got goalies quite right). The licensing cannot be ignored. It is a huge factor for many gamers. The real question is: How popular would Pro Evo be if they had the full license? OR How biased are the FIFA fans because they don't???

All you americans are f****d up in the head. Wat is all this shitty winning eleven about. Fifa is the best football game ever made and that will carrying on being the best football game made. It just cant be beaten. It is not realistic when you want to be Newcastle United for example, but you are called "Tyneside." That just shows how shit it is and that they cant be arsed to buy licences and rights to publish the team names and players. Go feefs!

You Americans have no idea! Fifa is the best football game both on and off the pitch! Ive been playing fifa games since '94 on Sega. GO FIFA!!!!!!! Cant wait for 08 to come out.

I am a fan of both fifa and pro evo. I think on the pitch pro evo is overall the best and outside the pitch fifa is. The one thing fifa 07 did better on the pitch was the passing specially on long balls. It was very accurate and felt realistic. Fifa is good for casual gamers while pro evo is best for true footballers.

Huge fan of Fifa here. Really anticipating the release here. In the meantime, I was wondering how to update squad rosters for PS2 version of Fifa 07. Is there no other way other than the manual club transfers(which are very tedious)?

im really looking forward to the x360 version of the game Im happy that there will be a lot more teams and im looking forward to the new gameplay features and updated stats my online sn is futbollegend86 if u ever wana play Peace.

Americans talkin about football?please.Fifa is the realest style football game even Pro Evo cant live up to it with its rubbish team names and made up player names. the new fifa will be the best football game around and everyone should get it.even americans

I think that Winning Eleven is good but FIFA is much better.

If you had money to buy a new car, would you buy a good car or a bad car? The same thing applies to these soccer games, FIFA would be the good one.

Fifa is the best soccer game out there sorry but the only thing i see on winning eleven is how hard it is to kick a ball for an hour and score like once or twice!

Winning eleven is an arcade game! not a simulation game and its out of the real world and i don'tsee why winning eleven fans allways bring down fifa 08! your sour morons ! and please! go play your crappy winning eleven!

I'm with ea all the way ! Fifa 08 will be awesome!already pre ordered it ;) can,t wait to have it!

yes MLS will be in fifa 08 and about 120 licenses if I read correctly.

does anyone know if the MLS teams are in FIFA 08?

Winning 11 sux!! What they do? Chelsea=blues or something??? Man U = Red devils??? Dont they hav da money to buy licences?? huh? just f@*t it!!

yes yes yes, we all know winning eleven is a better gameplay engine, but for me half the fun is having all the real license and full rosters. winning eleven has fake players, fake teams and no manager mode.. it's only good for a drink and a quick play with friends. Sadly FIFA is the only game that provides long term satisfaction.

Yeah, when is Winning 11 for PS3 ever comin out?

The Winning 11 series is far truer to the actual game of football. EA sports however has a habit of not appealing to big time football fans but rather the casual observer, go figure.

I hate that EA puts millions into licensing and $2 into the making of the game but Konami and WE/PES is just useless to play for an extended amount of time. No risk involved in Manager Mode. Hopefully the graphics in Fifa won't look like someone took a dump on the camera. that Mario Strikers game looks better than 07.

FIFA sucks. Winning Eleven is the king of all soccer games.
