I think it'll all depend on which version you get. The Wii for example has no manager mode or be a pro.

Freezing on manager mode ps3 is a lie. I've played 3 games with the phoenix so far and it's all good. You have to transfer elrich into your team though.

I'm a little worried about the AI (PS2). I watched a cpu v cpu match between Valencia (at home) & the Phoenix & the Phoenix won 2-1 after extra time lol.

I've had problems with the difficulty. On ameteur 2mins I can win 7-0 with the nix but on semi-pro 4 mins I can barely score.

Yeah, with time you get better. I just beat Doncaster 3-2 in a very thrilling match (with the Nix of course).

For some reason they didn't use a next gen engine for the pc version of the game. I can't imagine why.

360 & PS3 = next gen
PC, PS2 & Wii = current gen (like you said)

Yeah just graphics & also better gameplay. The AI is much better as the players are processing thousands of moves per second.

Be a pro will be better on next gen because it uses a special camera that current gen doesn't get. & when you are on the ball & get closer to goal the camera comes right up behind you to add to the emotion.

Hopefully. That's another thing to point out: this might be the last fifa game to be released on PS2, they've already stopped with xbox.

does anyone know how to do a be a pro season on 360
Permalink Permalink
over 18 years ago · edited over 13 years ago
Sorry mate, be a pro season can only be done on current gen. For next gen you have offline training, friendlies, challenges mode, & online 5v5 (which i dont think is running yet). That's  as far as be a pro goes for the 360 & PS3.

Yea im not even sure 5 v5 is in Nz. Archie looks good but in the phoenix team Ross looks quite alike and so does felipe.

Overall I'm uninspired by FIFA 08, if it weren't for the nix and be a pro mode I'd say its worse than 07.  Here's a breakdown:
 
I'm playing on PC
 
Pros:
THE NIX!
Be a pro mode
Seperate difficulty for keepers
 
Cons:
Commentary is broken, says "great save" when I miss completely.
Commentary is the same duo as last year, with a lot of the same comments.
Player switching while on defense is VASTLY worse, they say "use the right stick" but that doesn't help PC players and they took away the old way of switching so now I've gotta basically live with auto-switching.
'Control keeper' is bound to [Shift] which is the same as the first-touch, meaning whenever I try to break from defense I end up controlling my own keeper.
Texture issues - in one of the games I played some players were missing skin.
Winning issue - when I won a game (against perth), the first shot was a perth player running around like he won.
'pre-season friendly' win issue - I won a pre-season friendly and it played the 'won a cup' victory, with "Congratulations, you have won the ."
Oh and they took away my glasses from the create a player! :(
Game crashes - tried to save a replay and crashed out to windows.
 
So yeh all sorts of bugs in the game at this stage - hopefully they can release a patch to fix this stuff but atm its bleh.

Yeah I've heard bad things about the PC version this year. The PS2 version is an improvement though. Despite it having many of those glitches you pointed out.

Clearly the right result.

I'm playing my first season of manager mode with the nix, then heading over to my english club the mighty Forest to bring them back to english and european glory!  <3 the nix of course but there's nowhere to go from the A-League.  Just so I don't miss out on playing the nix I've started a 'be-a-pro' season in the nix colours, nice addition that one.

Mate got it. Looks awesome, hard at first but gets easier the longer you play it.

Hey all I got fifa08 on the 29th it was hard to get into it at first. I did'nt know where to start so I went into practice mode and had a few shots and defending. Then went into manager mode with the Phoenix on semi-pro, and selected my pre-seasons against: Melbourne Vic, Hull Fc, Hearts Fc, LA Galaxy
Results:
VIC 5-0 WPFC (Archie Ripped Up)
HULL 1 -1 WPFC 
HRTS 2-2 WPFC (Smeltz Double)
LA 0-0 WPFC
 
Now im half-way through the season placed 4th
 
(PS2) Pros:
Be a Pro
Wellington Phoenix
A-League
Online Gaming
 
(PS2) Cons:
Wespac Stadium isnt there
English commentators dont fit in with the league
Ratings are too high and too low
Music is gay (always)
 
Other then that im loving it
 
Can you Fifa08?

Couple of things, do you know if theres going to be a patch forthe 'crashing out to windows' after trying to save a replay? Very annoying.
 
Also you can switch players manually, they've just changed the key from 'S' to 'Q'. Annoying, but you get use to it after a while.
 
And finally, finally, they've got White Hart Lane in there. Next year The Cake Tin?
