i have fifa08 on the ps3 and i want to play with the directional buttons not the analog buttons how can i change this

I dont have joystick and i dont now how to download new squads (line ups and that...) im on PC
sorry 4 my english "croatian". I must comment the leagues... There is no croatian league!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is the Romanian League?? I thought it was supposed to be in the Fifa 2008??

there are a lot of players missing on FIFA 08, like Samuel Kuffour of AS Roma and Ricardo Gardner of Bolton in the Barclays Premier League, why is this, and also some players appear on the international teams but not on their club team, why does this happen?

Why are you not able to chat with opponents when playing online via the headset, and why can you not send messages directly to friends while in the lobbies. I cannot believe the fifa08 version does not have a friends list for online players. This is supposed to be the first big step for FIFA on the Playstation 3 and the online communication abilities suck.

How come the major improvements are always in the consoles version ( xbox 360 and PS2,PS3) Why did you remove the "untucked shirt " from fifa 08 when you included it on the uefa champions league 06/07. And lastly, Why has the graphics not been improved ever since FIFA 03 you had the same graphic style.

why home depot center does not apear at fifa 08 at my xbox 360 elite?

One of my mates has had Fifa 08 on the PS2 for a while now, he was telling me how good the be a pro mode is and that he has created a 'widnes' team so i though i'd buy it on the ps3, but now that i've got it, the Be-a-pro mode is only one game and there is no way to create a team, why not? can they be unlocked or have they just been left out for the PS3 version?

i have fifa08 on the ps3 and i want to play with the directional buttons not the analog buttons how can i change this

I've played fifa since the first one came out on the sega mega drive and it's still my number one favourite,keep it going lads

Why isn't the mls available on interactive leagues

I have a very important question. Will EA continue doing the fifa series for the "old gen" with the normal hard work you put into the game?

you should add the copa america and some colombian tams also brazilian and argentina and chile instead you put all the freaking mexican teams how about putting south american teams like deportivo cali, rive plate, colo colo, and sao paulo, also nacional, millonarios and etc... who wants to play with real madrid in the 2nd division or stupid 2nd division in italy.more internatonal teams.fifa rocks any ways!!!!!!

I have a couple of questions about FIFA 08

1. Do you record chants for every team you put in the game?
2. Why is Panathinaikos not in FIFA 08 (even me, an Olympiacos fan would like to have them in the game). Sure, they had a horrid season last year, but they're still the 2nd best team in Greece.
3. Speaking of Greece, shouldn't the Euro Champs be awarded by putting their league in? I'm pretty sure the EPO was asking for too much money...us Greeks can get really greedy. This league (along with Argentina and Russia) should be added.

I created 2 players , started manager mode and now although my created players are there - there is a squad player missing!!!
I looked in the free agent pool and he wasnt there either!!!
If a squad is packed out and you add created players - why dont you get the option to remove excess players rather than them just vanishing?
p#ssed off cos he there for friendlies but gone from manager mode and theres at least half a dozen players i'd had rather sacrificed.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I recently bought Fifa 08 for PS3, But I notice that in the CREATION ZONE you can't create a team this year...Is there any way I can still do that? Also, in Manager mode...Is there a Youth Acadamy system this year?

Hey Im an upcoming Digital Artist Getting into the sports world and i have a question for you guys at EA How do the texture artist at EA make the Grass look so realistic? I have an upcoming project working on a baseball field and i would love to achieve the essence and allusion of real grass

Y is there no J League & russian League? I have Korean players i want to buy.

Hi,

GREAT to have the inclusion of the hyundai a-league, top work… i’m already managing my beloved Melbourne Victory to the top (and making us play wide, unlike in real life :D)

…FIFA 09 would be excellent if more non-European leagues were focussed. I remember everyone begging for the following national leagues:

- argentina
- chile
- iranian
- russian (I know, they’re UEFA)
- J-League
- China Superleague

…i notice a few people asking here for places like Malaysia, Thai league etc. also.

It would be fantastic if Asia got more focus, also South America and Africa - it would bring more of a challenge to take your club to the Club World Cup and win.

…might be fun to include an O-League team or two, as well, such as Waitakare Utd or Auckland Utd (both NZ), or maybe Ba (Fiji) see how they do in the CWC ;)

Also, thank you for including Holland national team - an excellent and long overdue inclusion. Also, New Zealand there as well - great idea, looking forward to thrashing them with Australia! :)

However, there are some really wonderful national teams missing, in my humble - Japan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq in particular. These would be wonderful inclusions to the game, and make it a real reflection of international football as it stands right now. Perhaps even the inclusion of some of the Asian Cup’s surprise packets, like Thailand or Vietnam, would be great to see them in the game also.

Anyway, congratulations EA, again a great improvement on last year, look forward to the next edition (by playing ‘08 to death of course ;)

please take my message seriously,

Seriously, why do you put a team when they're country has only 1.7mil population(northern Ireland) and not put teams like Iran:70,472,846 and Netherlands:16,570,613 and leagues like Iran,Argentina,Greek... and instead you put the league 1,2,3 of england and the polish league.
Seriously dont you want to sell more and make people happy.
Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please and respond to me please.

Have you actually tried to improve Fifa 08 on the PS2 or have you just quickly thrown somehing together two weeks before recording. To be honest I was quite dissapointed to find that the be a pro mode was not like the one on NFL. Why not? ANd why couldn't you just add a variety of tricks and skillls to make it more exciting, this is probably the last Fifa game to be appearing on the PS2 and to be honest you didn't give it a good sendoff. Very dissapointing.

Can I suggest that you replace your researcher for Liverpool FC.
The squad is incomplete. At least 2 names are missing both who have squad numbers.
Craig Lindfield 38 and Ryan Flynn 36. Seems incredible when all you had to do was go on the official website or better still buy a programme. Extremely dissapointed!!

i have made a player and put him in to the preston side and played with him on kick off mode and it work, i the made a manager mode with them and now i cant find my player anywhere. but he is still in manager mode. and when can i enter my manager team in to the kick off mode?

why you didn't include on fifa 08 the best & most popular team of GREECE?I mean PANATHINAIKOS F.C.....The team was on FIFA07 why not in the version of 2008?Panathinaikos has millions of fans in Greece.Sorry I think FIFA 08 loses thousands of customers in Greece
because of this.I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED.please answer me why not PANATHINAIKOS is not available
thank u

i hate fifa because they never have a lot of asian teams in and that is racist so we want asian teams specially iran

Do you want to add Iran’s National Team or Iran’s Premier Leauge in future?

Will the XBOX 360 wireless controller work on the PC version of FIFA 08? In FIFA 07 there was a glitch in the game that would not let you use the xbox controller during gameplay.

is it possible to play with the directional buttons on the ps3 ?

What will be the online features in the PC version of FIFA 08? Will I be able to play through an entire season with someone online? will I be able to form a new team with someone online, etc? I seem to only be getting news about the game for next-gen consoles! :(

THE NEW LEAGUES:

Greece
CYPRUS
Ireland
Finland
Argentina!!!
Chile
uruguay
copa libertadores
Australia
Romania
Russia
Czech republic

Why did you take away the be a pro mode and manager mode on the wii?

OK, so we I bought the game and went to set up a league with my flatmates. I pick my team (and they pick theirs), we start the league and in previous version any oppositon teams could be player controlled. Admittedly it's a few years since I've played FIFA but this was one of the best things about the game. Nowadays the max number of teams that can be player controlled seems to be 8, which to be honest is crap. Now if we want to play a league we have to sit there and play against the computer which is a) boring for the others and b) frustrating (because it turns out the computer is impossible to play against).

All we want to do is play against each other where player a has his designated team and player b plays whoever the opposition is. Not too much to ask is it? Was always an available option in old versions. BIG LET DOWN EA, VERY DISAPPOINTED.

All in all, I'd also say the new features are pretty crap too. REALLY DISAPPOINTED.

i brought fifa 08 today on the ps3 and i am devastated. me and my brother have been waiting since march and have come 2 play on it, only 2 find out u cant use the user team in career mode so we cant play each other. surely it wouldnt hav been hard 2 be able 2 make it so u can scroll across 2 use the user team. we cant explain how disappointed we are. please, please sort it for next time

come on guys, australian, irani, rusia league be realist, argentinian soccer players are around all club in this planet, more respect, and plz easport and fifa be smart :) i know you are guys, add league argentina in next fifa.

come on...century XXI...years 2007.. we need be more realist and smart :)

cheers for all :)

Hello, I have 3 quick question:

Will the features that are included on the next gen consoles (PS3 and XBOX360) on the PC Version?

Iran is one of best teams in asia, you don't add Iran's National team after 2000, I ask you why?

Do you want to add Iran's National Team or Iran's Premier Leauge in future?

I think that the ARGENTINE league is a top-quality world level league. Why don't you include the Argentine League in the game FIFA08???
I won't buy FIFA until I see the Argentine league, it's all I want.
You are including so many low-level boring leagues like the Korean, Mexican, Australian, USA, Polish, Turkish and so many Second Divisions...
Further, I think that the skills of the players in the English Premiership in the game are typically over-rated, whereas in the Brazilian league are under-rated.
Regards,
Julian.

Why is the Romanian League missing from the game ?

Hi
i want to know if you have included south african league, if not why? cause we are hosting the world cup in 2010

will dagenham and redbridge feature in fifa 08?

How come you don't add the russian league and the holland national team?
Also, the players that are already big superstars like Ronaldinho don't grow anymore. Like in FIFA 07 Ronaldinho didn't go over 95. The goalie should also be able to get injured not just stand there, and when he goes near the opponets' goal, he should be able to stay if the player chooses to let him.
Not only that, but when the goalie gets injured and you don't have another goalie, you should be able to replace him with a position player.

Plz Add English Football Leagues Championship , League 1 and 2



Many Thanks Football Mad Marcus

why are Atlético Mineiro in rest of world teams when they got promoted to Brazilian Campeonato Brasileiro and are in Campeonato Brasileiro league in the game so they in twice you could replaced them with a good team thats in UEFA CUP ie CSKA Moscow as they won in 04/05 and Sevilla are already in the game and won it twice the years before CSKA Moscow are next in line and are good competetors in the compitishion and would be good to have in the game do you see my ponit thanks ste please give me feeback
