As the season of FIFA 08 on the Next-Gen consoles is coming I think that we have to assign a sticked thread specially made for FIFA 08 on Next-Gen.

Any news, multimedia or previews can be posted here for fewer search times and less "Next-Gen" threads all over the FIFA 08 forum.

Enjoy! :)

FIFA 08 Next-Gen Key Features:

Clinical Finishing — A true next-generation ball-striking engine calculates shot success
by combining an almost infinite number of different contexts, including ball spin, pressure from
defenders, player attributes, and even air pressure to recreate the drama and unpredictable
nature of shooting.

Intelligent Soccer -- Now featuring AI with a 35-point decision engine which enables
players to process 1,000 potential options and reactions every second in real time -- more
than 60,000 options every minute -- via a dynamic ‘Threat Map’ system to capture the
excitement and realism of soccer.

Be a Pro: Offline Training — Think and react like a real professional soccer player. Play
the entire game as a fixed player while getting real time feedback and analysis on the fly.
A unique camera angle keeps both player and action in focus, zooming in when you’re on attack.

Pro Skills — A new, organic building-block system 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. Animations can be interrupted at any time to transition into a new move, just
like real life.

Manual Controls — Dictate the play with new manual controls for through-passing and
crossing. Now use the right-stick to quickly switch defenders and choose exactly who you want
defending, when you want him.

Online Leagues – Create and organize your own multiplayer Friends Leagues and tournaments
with all the tools in-game.

EA SPORTS™ Interactive Leagues: – Represent your club online against your rivals throughout
the season in the F.A. Premier League, Bundesliga, French League or Mexican 1st Division. Features
weekly in-game pod casts by the development team.

Video Upload: Capture your best goals and highlights in-game and bring them online for the
world to see. Upload your highlights to the FIFA 08 website to create the ultimate highlight reel to
prove the stories you are telling your friends are all true. Because without the footage, it’s fiction.

Real World Soccer News — Receive up-to-the-minute soccer news and podcasts from media
outlets, including ESPN SoccerNet.

Complete Authenticity — Dramatically more authentic and exhilarating with 620 licensed teams,
30 official leagues, and more than 15,000 players.

Tournament Mode – Play 60 tournaments, including 35 officially licensed ones, or create one of
your own.

I hope the clinical finishing thing means that my players will no longer miss an empty net from within the box. I don't know how many times I've put it wide in UEFA from within the box with a totally empty net.

I hope the clinical finishing thing means that my players will no longer miss an empty net from within the box. I don't know how many times I've put it wide in UEFA from within the box with a totally empty net.

But cfdemarco, what you are talking about is a human skill thing, based on how "you" play will; I mean I've been playing UEFA since it was out and I never got the point of losing a goal on an empty open goal except for 2 or 3 times and they would be from hard corners.

I think that you should practice more on the aiming control, that's all. :)

The Clinical Finishing thing is telling us how the ball this year will fly into the air in many "unlimited" ways, which could possibly mean: "Less post hits", which was the only thing bothering me from the shooting engine in FIFA 07 and UEFA. :)

Here is a video that made me cry:
