I bought FIFA2008 today.
I traded in my old PS2 and a couple of games for it, and it's a sign of the times when that little lot didn't even cover the cost of a Next-Gen game!
Anyway, I settled down to play my first match and being the big girls blouse that I am, I picked Liverpool and played against Derby on "Semi-Pro" difficulty.
After 24mins they were 2-0 up!! and I quit, thinking "Maybe I'll read the manual"...
A few matches under my belt now against awesome opposition (Beat Barnsley 4-2, Osasuna 1-0 and RC Lens 3-0!) God, I suck.
I am loving the game, loving every minute of it but my Pro Evo skills are worthless here and I'm starting to learn football from scratch again.
The Atmosphere at Anfield is brilliant (streets ahead of Pro Evo's "Red Cauldron"), the commentary is exemplary and I even heard the stadium announcer report on a lost child!... Nice touch EA.
There's no way I'll be playing online any time soon, I don't want to kick my TV off the stand just yet.
Brilliant game.
