***OFFICIAL FIFA 2008 COMES OUT TODAY(OCTOBER 10) THREAD****

so your team mates actually make runs and overlap??? Wow, don't remember seeing anyone do that in WE9, which was aggravating to no end.

Yes, the new manual cross and manual through pass make the fact that 3-4 teammates will be making runs through gaps that much more fun. Just woke up, called in sick and ready to play!

We get 2 paid sick days a month at my work. I have worked for a year and this is my 3rd sick day. I have some catching up to do.

I just got this game yesterday for Wii. Initial thoughts:

1. No career mode. I think this will greatly shorten the game's replay value.

2. After years of playing on a classic controller, it's very hard to relearn the controls for the wii. I feel like a noob.

3. Online play was too laggy. It would a whole second to respond to my commands. This might be because I'm playing from Australia, though.

It's not a bad soccer game, overall. I look forward to inviting friends over and setting up some matches. It should tide me over until W11/PES comes out.

Wow. That's a shame. Why not get an X-Box 360? I thought the game had the same features on all systems.

I didn't really give "Be a Pro" a chance until today. I'm having a lot of fun being a target man and setting up plays for my quick striker (Defoe). I thought the feature would be rather cheesy but it just adds more replay value.

Don't sleep on this . . .

TSC asked me about FIFA's manager mode . . .

The good?
- Sponsors
- Switch teams
- Not a point purchase system
- Huge database of players
- All real teams, divisions, etc
- Media interaction

The bad?
- No league restrictions (for example, 1 non-EU transfer in Serie A allowed per season or the work permit system in EPL)
- Scouting (Give me a list instead of just one player that you recommend)

Am I being a nit? Yep. I want an FM like manager mode.
