UEFA Euro 2008

Few things i hope to get fixed in euro 08:
-added filter when you can set up for expample only manual controls in online matches.
-better goalkeeper on crosses (goalkeeper should also be more aggresive when you press triangle)
-Crosses,crosses, crosses ... now 90% of goals are scored from crosses. This can be very frustrating. Defensive players should be able to clear most of the crosses like in real match.
-Fixex player switching (now there are situations when you just cant switch to any player- mostly from corners)
-response times
-manual GK

I still enjoy playing fifa 08 but it could get really frustrated if you get to play some online dude who does nothing but crosses.

This is all i can think of right now from gameplay aspect.
 
Yea, I definately do. And I know others who do too. You know when you get a complete cunt in a random ranker on FIFA, all they do is pass it to C Ronaldo and sprint down the wings, then cutback for a goal. Every time.

i dont let them or try not too.. but thats what he does in real life... and you can defend the cutback, i just hate guys who play the offside trap all game :)
 
Ronaldo doesn't stay on the wing all match, every match. He's all over the place running at defenders and shooting from distance.
 
I played crosses a lot with Schalke, not because I was trying to cheat the system, but because I had two pacey wingers in Asamoah and Lovenkrands, with Kuranyi the lone striker. I think it'd be pretty daft to keep trying to play it through the middle, or even change my tactics, just to suit people who don't like the style of play.
 
Yeah people who do the same thing over and over again annoy me.

When we did our first league that was finally scrapped - my second game I think I lost 3- something and I had 3 cut back goals scored against me. I was fuming - Tim pointed out it wasn't cheating. So from that point on I have calmed down and I try and counter peoples cut backs.

Its is really annoying though when a game is close and you lose it at the last minute with a cut back goal.

I try and score as differently as possible - but if I have a good opotunity I will use a cut back - its part of the game.

Anyway for the new game they definately need to sort out control of the ball - for instance chesting the ball, you should be able to chest it down. Instead of it always bouncing up and taking half an hour to come down.

Also cross field passes should have different speed, height and strength - like crosses. As at the moment its easy for the opposition to see the big looping pass and run over and get the ball.

Response times is a major issue - The game is the most frustrating game ever because of this. Especially when you want to do a cross field pass - by the time it recognises you want to do it - your leg goes back in slow motion and the other player can tackle you!

Goalkeepers coming out - when I press the 'come out' button (Not the Gay button) he should shift his little arse until I release it. It should be instant. None of this stop start - the computer deciding how far to come out etc - thats bullshit!!

If they sort this out it would be nearly perfect for me - it would atleast get rid of the frustration. This game has made me the most angry out of any other game - and thats saying something!
 
One more thing - we need an option to bring defenders up on corners! I've played four seasons in Manager Mode and have had a defender score only once and that was in the run of play. Only rarely do I ever see any of my defenders come up in the box on a corner.

Oh dear, it doesn't look good for the future then :(. Translating that, it means not enough little kids could get to grips with real football as it is in FIFA08, so we will have to go back to producing arcadey shit where you can score in an instant.
 
Carl posted an editorial after the FSB meeting with the producer. Sounds really good, its about fifa09. Seems like the main grips people have are recognised and that they are going to sort it out.

I 100% agree about this Tim, It looks like they are going all FIFA Street on us for this 1!!... If this is a curtain raiser for FIFA 09 (like previous UEFA's and WC's have been) then I am not looking forward to it as much as I was....

Don't talk such utter bollocks.

You PES fanboys moaned about how FIFA 08 wasn't responisve or quick enough, EA, unlike Konami, have answered their critics by making REAL improvements where needed.

As for the kids comment, FIFA 08 is probably the best selling FIFA so far thanks to many converting after the dreadful PES08, Euro 2008 is just another step in the same direction for EA, keep up the good work lads!

Nick I think you misunderstood Tim's point. He liked FIFA 08 but is worried Euro 2008 is gonna go all arcadey with easy goals.

You can't blame someone for exploiting the many online flaws of FIFA 08 - that's why I don't play it online, it's shite, slow, unresponsive crap.

Easy there guys. It sounds to me like EA are just improving response times and making the game a bit faster (which tbh it needs).
