Developed by EA Canada, it is published by Electronic Arts worldwide under the EA Sports label. ===================================================================== 2) - GETTING STARTED [FIFA006] ===================================================================== Well, I know that many people rush into the game without thinking, eager to play with their latest purchase. Well, you people are in luck. This section is just for you, seeing as you haven't bothered with the controls. Of course, what I've said above might as well be completely untrue. Which means I’m wasting my time typing this.... oh well? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1) - At the Start [FIFA007] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If this is the first time you are playing the game then you will be prompted to create a FIFA 08 profile. This needs doing if you want to save your progress over time. This will prompt you to select a favorite team. Select a team. After this you will be asked if you want to have your initial settings with auto save on or off. I prefer to have auto save on as it always prompts you to save after every match anyway. However you can choose either and if you want to change this later you can do so via the FIFA 08 Profile Management screen. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2) - Controls [FIFA008] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pass = S Through Ball/GK Charge/GK Dive = W Cross/Long Pass/Sliding Tackle = A Shoot/Conservative Tackle/Clearance = D Sprint = E Trigger Run/Tactics Modifier/Change Player = Q Pace Control/Walk Defence = C Cancel/Dummy Move = Z Tricks/Control The Keeper = Left Shift -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.3) Game Play Videos [FIFA009] -------------------------------------------------------------------- I also suggest to see the three game play videos 1 Manual Through Balls/Manual Crosses 2 Right Stick switching 3 GK control ==================================================================== 3) - GAME MODES [FIFA010] ==================================================================== There are many game modes 1 Be A Pro. 2 Tournament Mode. 3 Challenge Mode. 4 Practice Mode. 5 Manager Mode. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1) - Be A Pro [FIFA011] -------------------------------------------------------------------- In Be A Pro you can select only select a single player and play as him. The Player can be changed. Be A Pro can be selected from two place. 1 Kick-Off 2 Game Modes 1 From kick-Off you can only play one match. 2 From Game Modes you can select the Be A Pro Co-op Season, where you can play an entire season not just one match. You can select your own created player or just select one from the team but i recommend to create your own. During Be A Pro Co-op Season you will receive Attributes points, you can spend them to boost the attributes of your player to do this go to Player Management and select Boost Attributes. You can also change the player. Also use the static’s option to see the standing of your player in the season and the team. You can also save the game and quit, then come back later to play. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.2) - Tournament Mode [FIFA012] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In tournament mode you can play for any cup but not all are included in this like the F.A Community Shield can only be won in the Manger Mode. You can also simulate matches for quick process. You can also create your own tournament and select whether you want it to be Knockout a league or a group and knockout, you can also select the number of teams in your tournament. Also see the Leader board to see who is the top scorer, your team standing, top goal assisted and much more. You can also save the tournament and quit then come back later to play. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.3) - Challenge Mode [FIFA013] -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Challenge mode is from where you can complete challenges from different regions. Once you complete a challenge you are awarded some points. You can spend these points to unlock football,3rd kits, stadiums etc from the Fan Shop. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.4) - Practice Mode [FIFA014] -------------------------------------------------------------------- From practice mode you can practice anything, like free kicks, corners penalties you can also play a free match against your opponents. Try to come here and practice anything new before you try this in an non- practice match. There are some EA hints, try them first in the practice mode then try it in a real match. You can also practice in the stadiums, which you have unlocked. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.5) - Manager Mode [FIFA015] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Manager Mode is 15 season long journey. AT the beginning of the Manager mode, you have to fill some data about yourself, choose a portrait give the date of birth etc and advance. After that you have to select a region and select a division from it. I prefer to select some one from a lower league like MK DONS. After you have chosen a team you have to select a sponsor, don’t just rush and select one, First compare them see who gives you the most for every match. Also see the bonus. Some bonuses like Player in the team of month etc, these bonuses can be collected every month if your player is in the team of the month. Other bonuses like unbeatable season can only be collected as once per every season, if you are not beaten. So choose wisely. See the leader board to see the position of your team and players, you can also save the Manger Mode and come back later to play. ======================================================================= 4) - MANAGER MODE [FIFA016] ======================================================================= The above was just a quick preview of the Manager mode.

WHY?! A : The game (the first time you run it) places the difficulty at the most hardest. Not even I can win a whole season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q : What is an Handball? A : Don't use your hands or arms to direct the ball. Typically an official will not stop play if you break this rule accidentally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q : How do I earn points for the fan shop? A : you have to complete the challenges in challenge mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q : How do I improve team chemistry? A : You need to keep a starting 11 together for a long time and, most importantly, have success with them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q : What other systems is this game being made for? A : This game is out for DS, PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, and Xbox 360. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q : How do I get penalties? A : There is a box around each goal. It is known as the "D" or 18-yard box for obvious reasons. If a defender commits a foul inside of this box, the other team is awarded a penalty kick from a designated spot within the box. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q : What are the Classic XI and World XI?
