I assure you that out of 30+ (40+ now) matches I've played this situation happened only once or twice, and it was my mistake.
Making a player run towards your passed ball is all manual now, To do a perfect pass on FIFA 08 you should plan out the following:
1. Make sure that the player is in a good spot.
2. Make sure no one is watching him.
3. Make sure no other player from the other team is watching him, because he might simply predict that you are going to pass the ball, hens jump into its path and cutting it.
4. Make sure that you are ready to push your player towards the ball; many people are talking about "basics" of football and how even kids learn that they should run towards a passed ball to get it, well, this happens in FIFA 08 but no anymore automatic all the time, "YOU" should grow up the kid in you and make him learn how to play "real" football.
FIFA 08 is the most realistic football game ever created, it so good that FIFA 07 and UEFA are just crap in front of it. The old titles were just betas compared to FIFA 08.
Everything in the new FIFA needs thinking and slow building, you must pass and pass so that you can break the defense of the opponent team.
Offense runs into open spaces way better than any game I've seen out there; no robotic runs, all stuff happens in real life speed.
FIFA 08 next gen is so real that it can NOT be compared to any old football title, you simply can't! no more saying stuff like "but in PES, bla bla bla" or "but in FIFA 07 bla bla bla".
Players actually "bump" into each other with real human force and gravity power, if you are defending and you run in the path of your defending partner you are simply going to knock him down with your forced body.
breaking through defense is REAL: meaning that only little are the times where you might run using one single player through 4 defenders.
This game is magic while in Demo, my god how it will be when it is in final form wit all the commentary plugged in and all the teams running!! OMG, I can't wait.
Err dude I didn't say that I wanted the runs to be automatic I was just trying to clear something up. I believe as well as you do that it makes it more realistic to control your player to go to the ball and makes you feel more in control. But don't worry, I'm sure this game will be great as you've shown
