Why does it always look like the developers port it from the PS2 version when developing it for PC?! IT LOOKS SOOOO BAD ON ABSOLUTE MAX SETTINGS!! 2D sprites for crowds. A solid green field, and low-res, heavily compressed, possibly 16-bit textures all-round... in 2008??? Severely disappointed. I sure hope it doesn't look like that on PS3 or 360. I don't care about the different modes available and the addition of different leagues and teams... concentrate on international teams only and emphasize graphics. I preferred the arcade feel of Fifa 98 too, now it's just a little too intricate as far as game mechanics go.

Any alternatives to this crappy EA series with better graphics and a more arcade-oriented gameplay system?

And for once I actually have a legit version of a PC game.. although I didn't buy it, borrowed it from a friend, so if anything, I'm complaining on his behalf. I really abhor EA sports games.

Sports games are only for consoles thats what i think although i don't play. I'm a RPG and Fantasy and FPS Gamer

^ yah, same here, but I'm a wee bit of a soccer fan, so I don't mind a soccer pc game, but more arcade-styled, I was never into the FIFA series, I played Fifa98, which I really liked at the time, then I played 06 and 08... both of them seem identical to me, I seriously can't tell them apart at all...

Yeah theres no difference in between them , maybe graphics wise.

Yes... thats the FIFA series for you... It sound like you need a high dosage of pro evo 2008, think that it will be released in about a months time.

As stated in my NHL 08 post....


EA has abandoned the PC sports gamer.

Im sure its fantastic on the console, but what about us gamers who prefer the good ole' desktop!?

I can tell many differences between 06/07/08 but there all minor and 08's cinematic special effects are actually worse than 07. On ps3 and 360 its alot better but why not make it next gen on pc aswell. i was very dissapointed because i really enjoy fifa on pc, and i dont like being left behind when computer can handle next gen.

and the commentary is crappy as usual

on fifa 08 if you take a shot and misses the goal but only just it says "great save by the keeper" even though the keeper hasnt touched it!
