The season is based on the regular season of the National Football League. The game features a new collision model, player tracking, artificial intelligence control and improved physics. All stadiums and players have been remastered with new graphics, animations and sounds. The game also supports the PlayStation 2 version of the 'Become a Legend' mode from FIFA Football, along with some minor new features.
The gameplay is similar to that of FIFA 07, with modifications to all aspects of the game.
Development
The main focus of development in FIFA 08 was player dynamics and the football physics engine, both of which were improved significantly compared to FIFA 07. The game received a mostly positive reception from critics, with many praising its enhanced physics engine, although some complained about the artificial intelligence not being as intuitive as in past years.
Another key feature in this game is Player Tracking, which allows players to be tracked by the game even when not in the game. This allows players to be rated accurately even when not in the game (on the new 18 rating scale) and transfer services can be more accurately set, because every player can be tracked as well.
Reception
FIFA 08 received "generally favourable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the PS2 version a 9.5/10 rating in their review, stating, "FIFA 08 really shines when it comes to the physics engine". IGN gave the PS2 version a 9.0/10 rating, stating, "It's the best football game ever made" and "The game is so slick, it's almost scary". The Sydney Morning Herald gave the game a 3.5/5 rating, stating, "The beautiful game is a whole new dimension for real football". The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the game a 7/10 rating, saying, "FIFA 08 is a big leap forward in many ways." In Japan, Famitsu gave the game a score of 35 out of 40.
Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game, rating it five stars out of five, and stated that "Few sports games offer the excitement of watching an entire season in football. FIFPro's MLS 07 and FIFPro's C.R.S. 07 may have come before the PS2 version, but they don't offer the same feeling as watching the players take the field and feel the action of a game.
