About This Page: This is a discussion on Gamer Talk within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Anybody else going to get this sucker??? I just got it for PS3 and I'll give you my review tomorrow...
Alright, so I'm a tad late with my review but here it is:
If you want a great soccer simulation look no further, FIFA 08 sucks in comparison to the way this game plays and the AI here is superb. You will never score the same goal twice (unless you play on the easiest settings). Even the stupid stuff that happens in real soccer happens in the game, like defenders whiffing on the ball and keepers making stupid decisions, it's all there. However, if you want to play this game online, forget it, it's complete ****. They never managed to fix the bugs despite it being released in the US 5 months after it's european release which is really frustrating. If you also feel the need to have all the Major EPL licenses you're not going to get them here. I believe PES only has like 5 EPL teams, and the rest are named differntly with the correct lineup. For example Liverpool is Merseyside Red and Everton is Merseyside Blue, etc...
Anyways, this is a fun game to play if you want great soccer simululation, but a huge letdown if you're looking for the entire package.

Can you manually edit the team names? Before you could edit everything, last year's game for whatever stupid reason didn't let you.

I think 05 or 06 was the last year I played it. You could download updates to fix the team names and kits. I don't know why they'd not allow you to do that anymore. Most people that play games like this and FM are really anal about updating the graphics.

It must be part of the licensing. It would be like 2K releasing an NFL game with no player names, but then just providing a download with full team rosters. Kinda defeats the point of having the license.
I'll get back to you later this week on that. I'm tired of playing as barcelona so I'm thinking of starting a season as West Ham or "East London"...
PPharoah, you should definitely RENT this before you buy unless you've played the series before.
Let me know when you get a chance. I've been a huge fan of the Pro Evolution/Winning Eleven series for awhile. My favorite soccer game of all time was Pro Evolution 5/Winning Eleven 9.
I seriously played the **** out of that game. I have to make everything as realistic as possible so I'll sit there for a few hours and change all the team names to the correct ones. Just hoping there is that option this year!

You CAN change team names, logos, jerseys, etc. Although it is not as in depth as WE9 which we both agree as one of the greatest soccer sims of all time...
In all honesty though ASU, unless you're really jonesing to play a soccer game i'd wait for PES2009 to come out or just rent PES2008. PES2008 just seems incomplete and and I do have some regrets buying it because I rarely have time to play and when I do I don't want to be bitching about how the game could have been better. Still fun, but not perfect by any means.

That it was. I was absolutley dominant in the game. My go to team against other people was Inter Milan while using a 4-3-3 formation. Loved that game!

I really do need a soccer game fix. The smart move would be to wait for next year's which should be a good one after working out all the kinks. But this one sounds good enough and should give me a fix through summer. I think I'll get tired of NHL eventually!
I STILL play WE9 all the time, it's the only game I still have for the original Xbox. Although there are a number of things should've been improved and are pretty frustrating, it is still a great sim. The dang game still costs $20 on ebay!

I picked up the game yesterday. I like it, and it will most likely hold me over till next year, but I don't LOVE the game.
I'm playing on professional right now it's not that hard to score, but defending is a mess. The games I'm playing right not are really high scoring, 6-5, 7-4. I like goals and all but it's frustrating when your keeper does idiotic stuff or when your other CB just watches the other forward run right past him on a give and go.

Yeah, defending is a bitch. I usually just set my defenders to "aggressively" mark certain players. Sometimes it works...
Hey ASU, you using 360 or PS3?
