Ok, so what level do you play? And, do you do it with automatic or manual crosses and passes?



I prefer to do it in Professional and manual, but it´s really hard. But i prefer it like this cause i think in semi pro its easy...

Same as you, manual and pro difficultly, and yeah, it's hard to score... :(

Anyway, i have a question, why do you use manual? Is it because of the advantage for you to control exactly the pass or because you just want more challege?

I use it cause it turns the game much more realistic in its gameplay (no matter if its hard). Try to go back and play it in the automatic style, and you´ll fell the difference. Its a completly different game.

Anyway, I´m considering starting a new carrer with MANUAL (always), but in Semi-pro....but, anyone playing in semi pro? isnt it to easy?

Yeah, i hate when i play professional in carreer mode and mostly it ends up as i can't score, so i have to re-load the mode and play again...

Playing in 5-3-2 I managed not to suffer much goals....but scoring its really hard. Even though, I think that playing it in semi-pro it will be much much easier....(not good!)

Legendary difficulty? I thought the highest is world class? How did you choose that difficulty?

And how can you play it in that level...if we are not having good results on the professional?

I'm only asking, because i'm not aware there is 1.

you have to unlock it.complete challenges of 2 zones or just unlock it using db master.

playing with auto means its fifa07 with little AI improvements.
i play with manual settings.
currently playing manager mode with arsenal on semi-pro(both difficulty and GK)
i am unbeaten run after around 30(only 3 games drawn)
i will master shoot mechanic after 1 or 2 seasons then i will shift to world class.
my main problem in fifa08 is that half of my games i was down to 10 men.although i won all of them.

i have tried world class difficulty with amateur GK.it was easy.i think the main difference is the GK.

Okay thanks, you mean you can unlock it directly through the fan shop?

oh, okay, but how did you change the GK difficulty?

What about Professional level? (both keeper and gameplay) Why dont you choose that?

i play on world class with professional keeper difficulty.. sometimes it's really funny to see how the cpu plays when they have the ball in their halve but instead of you send your player to challenge/ tackle/ take the ball but you just mark their players. they really like to crazy-dribbling the ball :p

What about Professional level? (both keeper and gameplay) Why dont you choose that?

i am just practicing shooting or i should say trying score different types of goals(may be spectacular ones).
once i get the feel of manual passing and shooting i can directly switch to world class and then legendary.

oh, okay, but how did you change the GK difficulty?

i play fifa08 on PC.here you have option of changing the GK difficulty.

to unlock legendary difficulty-go to challenges->master->last challenge
it is not available in fan shop.it is a challenge and completing it gives fan shop points.

Oh, thanks!

pro difficulty
semi pro gk
auto cross/pass (manual is useless with keyboard)

pro difficulty
semi pro gk
auto cross/pass (manual is useless with keyboard)

i also play with keyboard.
manual with keyboard has limitation but now i got used to it.(only 8 directions to pass)

I play world class mode with world class keeper (I always try the hardest mode). I will probably try to unlock legendary if i get too good at the game.
I don't like using the manual crossing and through balls because ive found then too difficult - especially with a keyboard because i can't seem to direction them diagonally - these would probably be best done using a controller. Passing is also sometimes quite frustrating with a keyboard - a lot of the times i see a great opportunity but when i try to pass to the player running through the middle and towards open space the pass ends up going to a player that's marked.
I also created my own team which is 3 stars with an average skill rating of 60 along with Scott McDonald and Lucas Neill.
Its no fun playing as 4+ star teams as there is no challenge - i beat man. united using arsenal the first time without really trying.
The fun comes when i beat a top team using my 3 star team after playing some very good football.
I reckon using the world class keeper is quite realistic most of the time. I just beat liverpool 2-1 with my 3 star team using a 4-5-1 formation and a lot of persistence. Torres scored against us first on the 33rd minute but then after warding off wave after wave of attacks (ive pretty much mastered defending) i managed to score twice in the 86th and 89th minutes with McDonald and David Carney through liverpool's really tightly packed defence - both from crosses.
The real frustration comes when i lose to a team worse than me - like losing to Derby County 1-0. I guess they made the teams' attitudes more realistic - so worse team's try harder against better opponents.
Now the wc goal keeper i reckon is kind of unrealistic because when i played an international against germany - they had a really easy defence to get past - i created about twenty chances with through balls where i had a one-on-one situation with a lone striker but Lehmann was just too good - and whenever i tried to direct the ball it goes wide (whereas in training it goes in off the post) - must be the pressure or something.
