Ordered mine off GPStore.co.nz and was hoping to get it a day early, as I had done with Rugby 08. No sign of it though.

Just went into EB (Dunedin) & traded my old fifas for fifa 08. Only problem is that my dad also bought a game & I have to wait for him to have a go at his game first. I will post some Phoenix stats when I play it.

I've just home with mine - got it from the gamesman too. Strange that you have not had a call yet. It's there.
Am going to play it soon. First game: Phoenix vs Galaxy :P

The stats you posted were on PC (current gen). The stats will differ from NG & CG. I'll post some CG stats soon.

Just played my first game - Phoenix vs Galaxy
Lost 2-0 (2-0 HT) - Phoenix were competitive & had many chances but couldn't put the ball in the net :(

Had to walk into Gamesman and ask for my pre-ordered copy, said they were too busy to call me about it.  Its all good though, its installing as I speak.

has any1 signed any new players to their phoenix squad?
been trying to sign ahmad elrich and leo bertos but neither player wanted to come yet.also chris killen was available for loan but his weekly wage was too much.
put oughtan, mulligan, boyens on my shortlist so when the jan transfer window opens ill try get a couple.
christie at RB is 61 quality player

YE great game! A-League inclusion makes a huge difference pretty much only played with those teams so far with ma mates. Jst started Manager career with Central Coast. Yes im a phoenix fan but i dont like them in this game caz none of the players look alike really. I gotta say Archie Thompson bloody realistic as!! Pitty the stadiums arent there. One question what do the fans chant. Sounds something like "Show us your ...."  Not passport but somthing like that?
 
Also one of the best things that i noticed was that when ur drawing and its 90th min and u have a corner u can push r3 to bring ur keeper up and it shows him running up haha nearly scored too Awessshooome mate.
 
For the dude above jst changed Ahmed Elrich into the team at the start menu so ye dont needa sign him! I tried getting Fowler but couldnt.

Yeah its an amazing game!!!!
 
gameplay runs alot smoother and the movments are fluid and look realistic. Having the A-league in it, for me, has vastly improved the game as in season mode, you really get into it!!!
 
Not much of a step up from 07 on graphics, but players do look a bit better.
 
Mode wise, its great. Favourite move, hold R2 and tap Square. What a chip!!!
 
And the threw balls are key to cracking down the defence, amazing!!!!

Haha owell good sign. Should win this game surely but i feel a draw haha. Back to Fifa, Petrovski pretty decent. He scores most my goals. That Denny from Newcastle is good. I havent really played as ne other teams apart from A-League thats all i really like going.
