    Decent gameplay, a much needed reinvention of some of the controls from previous versions, however, most of the modes are immensely buggy. I found my data and save files were consistently corrupted and deleted and I also found manager mode a real shame, the balancing system is non existent, the player development hashed, random clubs from the lower leagues end up winning the worlds hardest competitions, some of the worlds best players can be bought for the same amount as lower ranked ones and random computer generated players in future seasons turn out with ridiculously high stats. Looking back in hindsight, this was a time when Pro Evo still lead the way for football simulators.… Collapse

    Hey it's not that bad of a game. I started playing it again and it's awesome. Not perfect though but still good!

    Some bugs are annoying (invisible subs), lack of manager and be a pro mode makes game lack depth. Controls are different but can be learned... online play is fun when controls are learned... I hope they improve next years version include what the PS2 has with no bugs... Then its a 9

    I would probably rate this game higher if i had not played the Pro Evolution Soccer series. Next to Pro Evo FIFA falls short on many levels including FIFA 08.

    What the users say are true. I can truly agree with them. This game is full of bugs. Sometimes when you score a goal, they show your side of the goal........ very disapointing.

    Just an absolute waste of time. This is the worst FIFA game in the series. I started in 07 and I loved that game. Now I get this crap. I am just very upset.

    I can't tell you how angry i am. This game is a shame. I thought it was going to be better than ever. It turned out to be the worst ever.

    Probably the best game in the FIFA series. The AI can actually defend while the manual controls give the freedom to create scoring chances in many different ways. It is a shame the AI has so much trouble scoring. [Sept 2007]

    Pretty much the same as "FIFA 07" but tighter and more feature-packed than ever. A good effort. [Nov 2007, p.76]

    It's back-to-back successful seasons for FIFA while the Be A Pro mode is really top-notch. [Nov 2007, p.77]
