Incredible, everytime people notice that my fav team is United they pick Barca 9/10 times. I'm tired of playing the catalan cnuts ffs.

Same problem, every fecking time! Even when the screen loads up and the cnuts an Arsenal or Chelsea fan, they switch to Barca :mad:

I was playing last night, i went from 1-0 down to 3-1 up and still lost 3-4 somehow, 3 fecking rebounds from dumb fecking 40 yard shots which vds couldnt hold on to for some reason, the useless cnut!
 
The reason being United and Barcelona are probably the two best teams in game.

Excuse them for trying to pick an equal team.

Come on, it's not like it's impossible to win if they use Arsenal or Real instead. I usually play as Arsenal if someone picks Unted.

PES will always be better than FIFA.

PES 2008 might be the biggest disappointment this year, even the producers of the game admitted that they got it wrong.
 
Yeah, i always play with United online but i have to say i play against Inter more than i do Barca.

Of course its possible.

Just like its possible you could play as Arsenal or Real instead of Manchester United :angel:

I want Anderson-Scholes in the middle;)

Btw where can I find the overall ranking table?
 
I kind of shoot myself in the foot because I played with United and play with a weaker side and with a 433 formation. I play Anderson instead of Scholes, Hargreaves at right back, Giggs as LCM etc...

I'm a fan of the 433 system on the game, Chelsea are the best team to play it with though.

Some reason I never liked playing 442 with United maybe because Ronaldo is not so far up the pitch.
 
EA Sports probably used the same template for goblins in Battle for middle earth and players in FIFA games. The graphics are horrible.

But in fifa 08, you can make your own formations.
 
Is it possible to save a formation for online play?

What formations do you guys play, i play the 3-4-2-1 and it looks incredibly sexy:

VDS
Hargreaves Rio Vida
Nani Carrick Tevez Evra
Rooney Ronaldo
Saha

That's the same formation as me but I have one cf and two strikers instead.
 
Has anybody tried some of the challenges on challenge mode. Some of them ae ridiculous. I had to score 3 goals with Ribery in the first 10 minutes and then 2 goals with Van Bommel in the 2nd half. It took me a while just to score the 3 with Ribey in the first 10 minutes! (considering the match had to be 5 minutes each way it was pretty hard.)
Anyway i finally scored the 3 with him in the first 10 minutes and was on my way to completing it. Scored one goal with Van Bommel in the 2nd and had 35 minutes to score another. Just as i was breaking clear with Van Bommel, one of the oppositions defenders came in, took out Van Bommel and injured him!
Meaning that i couldnt score the other goal i needed! Wasn't best pleased.
 
I'm not going to tell my formation just in case I want to play one of yous lot. Needless to say its very effective.
 
Only time I played three at the back was on '07 haha. Never tried it on this one. Does anyone like using the standard 442 for United?

A few times I tried this:

------Rooney----Ronaldo-----
------------Tevez-------------
--Giggs-----------------Anderson------
-------------Hargreaves---------------
--Evra----Vidic-----Ferdinand---Neville-----

Tevez as attacking midfield, Hargreaves at DM. Anderson was rated higher than Nani even on the wing so I tried him. Rooney/Ronaldo were like unstoppable up front though and I had Tevez joining in from midfield. Funnily enough Ronaldo is rated higher than Rooney as a "striker" but that's different when Rooney is a CF.

Start of with 442 and see how it goes, if i find it hard to get any room to do anything i change to 4-3-2-1, Rooney up top, Tevez left and Ronaldo right, Giggsy LM, Scholes CM and Carrick to the right, usually works a treat :)
 
I've run into a bunch of people who see that I have United picked and they quit the game during the lineup page. So I've had pretty good success with Bayern Munich. They have good aerial ability and I can usually score off crosses. The only problem is the defense is a bit shady.
 
-----VdS
Neville-Ferdinand-Vidic
Ronaldo-Scholes-Hargreaves-Giggs
------Anderson
Rooney-------Tevez
 
I haven't bought a FIFA game since the 98 version and have been playing PES since PES2. But the new PES is just not doing it for me and I've only played it a couple of times in the start.

I'm now "getting" FIFA2008, just to see if they've improved since I tried the demo version of FIFA2007.

FIFA got the advantage that they are allowing LAN-play, which means it's possible to play online using Hamachi even if you haven't actually bought the game.

It is miles better on the 360, FIFA 2008 as opposed to 2007 that is

I'm no PES fan or FIFA fan and I have played both, including previous versions, and for as much as the new Pro Evo has gone worse the new FIFA has got better, in my view.

I never got round to playing FIFA07 but I played FIFA06 a fair few times and the improvement in the overall gameplay and realism in FIFA08 surprised me. [PC]
 
I find the menu systems in Fifa a little confusing and clucky so I might be doing something wrong or have missed something simple here but how do I load my custom offline formation for online play? there’s no mention of it in the manual and when ever I go online the downloading of the squad file every time I connect seems to clear all my setting.:confused:

I'm afraid you can't.
 
When you buy FIFA, you need to give it time - trust me. This is the case for almost everyone I've known with the game and also myself. At first it may appear to be slow but once you get use to the game, you will realise it is as the right speed. Once you get use to the game and consistently play, you will truly appreciate the game. My friend at first told me he wasted his money after my recommendation but after a while, he began to love it (a pro evolution guy).

I came back from holiday after not playing the game in three weeks and it felt weird and slow but once I got back into the groove, you realise it's still amazing.
 
I used to be a big fan of FIFA, but once I`ve tried Winning Eleven (I don`t know if you ever heard of it) I`ve changed my mind. Winning Eleven is more realestic :angel:
