Hmmm... My feelings are strange, in one side i feel a bit dissapointed in some aspects, may be i´d wait too much this game. But in the other side there´s a lot of things that i like.
My first dissapointing things are the cams, TV is too far, and V2 is too close, there´s no a medium point where you can feel ok. When is too far, skill moves are difficult to do, simply because seems that you have not the control over the player, furthermore you lost the great graphics too, and in the close cams, graphics looks great but you don´t know where are your team mates.
Other strange thing is the tempo of the game, is too slow for me, ok better to go to a simulation than an arcade, but this is too much. I think that the UCL tempo was correct, fifa07 was too much fast. But well, the good thing with this tempo is that you have more time for create spaces or playing the ball, but this last aspect goes down when you are playing in a easy mode and you see how the A.I. destroys most of your game. So how it will be in difficult then? I only scored 3 goals in 15 plays.
But this game has great things too. Graphics as always are impresive, not so much improvement from 07 or UCL, Ronnie looks worst...i dont know why. Finally they arrange totally the players collision thing, it works correctly, and the animations are really cool, aswell the "change player" thing, now it works great. Gameplay is diferent from 07 or UCL, here there´s no way of to run the wing center and goal, you must to work more, and it´s great sometimes, but is bad other times when it´s easy to make a good play for to score and then appears some guy from Red Bull and steal the ball easy as hell. May be it´s the demo A.I., may be we need more games to feel custom with the new A.I.
Skill moves really only works 4 or 5 times in a macth, when you have a clear spaces to move and this stuff. Most of the time, they have no sense, but other times, are great
So, resuming, FIFA 08 has new great things improved, but other things that were improved in UCL are out. So, as i said at the start, i like a lot the demo, but i´d wait much more. Hope that they change this bad things in the final version, but i doubt it. And PES2008 seems that is going on the bad side..so this is another year of "Hey, 08 is great, but..." as always " and "Hey PES2008 seems cool...but".
Anyway i must to play more the demo, and surely i will buy fifa08 instead pes2008. The last pes for x360 was a dissaster, and this year seems that is going on the same way...omg...only 2 premier league licensed teams, no bundesliga, etc...pfff.
It´s so difficult to have a football game with great graphics and great gameplay?...without "but´s"?? without this feel of "i´m really controlling this player or what??" I don´t know, may be it´s time that the guys from 2K take the controls...if i could feel a football game like i feel NBA2K...ahhhh....
Take care

). My 360 stuffed up like 6 times so I decided to go PS3 instead. I'll see you on PSN if you have PS3, otherwise we won't be playing this season I'm afraid.
