Guys, I said it before and I say it again: do not compare FIFA 08 to any version of PES, including PES 2008, or to any version of old FIFA titles. the game now is very real, you should think out of the usual and reorganize your system to the real life football physics and laws.
SlowSilver, in real football matches, Ronaldinho dose not run like a tiger all the time like in PES! He actually sometimes suck so much that the couch sends him off right after the first half; Ronaldinho is a scary player, he dose stuff quick and in a sudden move, true, but only few times a match. Whenever I watch a Barca match I always want to see Ronaldinho run and break and burn stuff, but the reality: He doesn't; all the clips you see all over the web about his amazing skills are only seconds from the many many matches he played, and if you compare the amount of skill he has between reality and a game such as PES it becomes ridiculous and repetitive! It is like choosing Barca for Ronaldinho or Messi only!
Don't forget that in real matches all players do a good job, football is a "Team" game; when I use to play PES I use to think of Barca as a winning team all the time! now in FIFA 08 I think of them as a team that might or might not win, it all comes to the team work, making it possible for a lower stats team to win any match against Barca, just like in real life. It all comes to team work.
All football players have their good and bad moments, and that is the case in FIFA 08, you feel that everyone has an equal opportunity to shine, that's what makes me love it! It is a simulation more than just a game.
About the headers, it is expected at this stage to have easy headers but don't forget that the demo plays at 2nd level difficulty, you still have the third level and the forth level which I'm sure are going to kick our asses down!
You are the man. Dont forget that there is a 5th level
Wish ign offer you a job so fifa can get higher in reviews from PES
FIFA is the real Simulator and PES is the real arcade football
