UEFA EURO 2008 Videogame was released on April 18, 2008 in Europe under EA Sports label. By adding some new features and improving the gameplay, it seems EA tried to develop its new football videogame more fans-based than before.
Now, what do you think, is Euro 2008 game enough perfect for a FIFA gamer, or better to say: EURO 2008 gamer?
Here you can add your feedback and comments regarding EA Sports UEFA Euro 2008 video game. You can also write your reviews and bug reports as well, we will list your texts here online and invite EA developers to read them.
All i can say is great job on Euro. Your on the right track but just need to sort out the bugs and keep adding more to the game modes.
how about a new – captain your club game mode?
Good game however some issues need to be addressed. On Professional Difficulty I can rip most teams apart but on World Class they have 6 defenders at the back and you cannot keep the ball for long enough to test them. Please improve the reaction times and player movement, its still not good enough. For FIFA 09 include a DECENT player edit feature (so we can edit the appearances of the stars as well as ourselves) and include the EASPORTSWORLD photo import facility so we can put ourselves and our friends into the game…..
Great game…
Things that can be improved…
When doing a manual celebration…the running part feels good but when you press random buttons to initiate an animation it takes away from the concept. one we should be able to control everything
The be a pro mode is decent but I still prefer the old one maybe both can be implemented for single/multiplayer
Make leeds united have realistic stats and players have the real faces as well as all players names being in commentary & elland road stadium (it doesnt matter about the other lower league teams) 😀
players wearing gloves
game speed should be in between this and fifa 08
please sort out the net animations. when you score it goes weird and glitchy. seeing the ball hit the back of the net with aplom IS football.
also could you guys do a slowmo replay of the celebration when you score. its very much like how tv present goals. ie replay -> another replay angle -> slow mo celebration
thanks
everything else is perfect imo. dont touch it.
EA,
I’m verry disapointed with this game, i enjoy the gameplay but i’m shocked at the lack of licensing of kits and for the teams that are liscensed most have old kits. This is supposed to be the OFFICIAL game of Euro 2008. It seems a really lazy effort and i’d of expected a patch to come out by now with new kits etc. but nothing so far(and i doubt there will be one).
And another thing in edit mode you can’t fit more than 11 letters into a players surname which is ridiculous as you’re editors have fitted the likes of Ibrahimovich’s name in fine.
It’s little things like this that would make me reluctant to buy FIFA games again, because you can’t seem to bother with these small things!
And the edit mode is appaling
Very nice game, I have played the demo. It’s quite hard now.
My opinion: Put the Netherlands back in the game, including their real names. That’s a way to score more Dutch gamers. Also Dutch game journalists think it sucks that the Netherlands is missing.
Celebrations are very nice!! 😀
Haven’t played any more EA soccer games after Pro Evolution soccer … sorry 🙁
the kits should get dirty as the game goes on,also the pitch should mark up as it does in maddenden series.
Excellent especially on the PS3 – but the Xbox 360 version seems very buggy, perhaps working on the multiplayer bugs would be the first thing to get right – other than that it is a great title and probably the best football game made so far.
The bug i’m talking about: Sometimes when the ball goes out for a throw in or a free kick no one goes to take it on either side, this then means one player or the other has to quit the game and then get a Did Not Finish mark against them even though it wasn’t their fault.
It’s beautiful and ugly within moments. The gameplay is brilliant but the cheating AI needs serious attention. The way the lower ranked teams are able to keep the ball with a slow dribble, turning 360 degrees everytime you go near is the most frustrating aspect of any football title for years!
I really enjoy playing it but hope and pray the above is addressed prior to FIFA09.
It is a very good game, even in the eyes of this PES-fan. Still I have some points which would improve the game even more:
I think the defence needs to improve. It is much harder to defend than to attack and because of that some balancing should be done. It is virtual impossible to defend well when 1 on 1 with an attacker. He always slips past you. Looks like the response from the defenders is not optimal. In PES this is much more fluent. Also the AI from the fellow-defenders should improve as they seem to defend chaoticly when you defend with assisting player. The keeper is also slow with running ( well, running 😀 ) out of the goal, using the triangle.
Another small thing is the nets of the goal. They animate somewhat static after scoring.
It’s a good game but it wil a fantastic game if all the teams had REAL names. Not fake names like Netherlands or some other players from other nations. Also would it be great to have more leagues in FIFA09, like more 2nd divions or new leagues. And better shirts, not like Ajax in FIFA08 with a white logo on its shirt
There’s some graphical issues which should have been ironed out, like flickering, and audio issue before some matches, with the sound of the crowd bellowing through the speakers louder than the rest of the audio in the game. It makes me jump every time.
In AI matches I’ve had incidences of my team staying just outside the box and not moving despite a goal kick being given to the opposition. I’ve had a few example of other bizarre AI behaviour, but only in the UEFA 08 mode.
Also, there doesn’t seem much differentiation between some teams when they’re playing against you, many seem to play the same game of football. Lithuania and San Marino put up just as much of a battle, running rings round me at some points, like France, Spain or Italy do on the higher levels.
I enjoyed being able to slide and tackle in FIFA 08 as much as I wanted, but sometimes there seems like there’s a delay or it doesn’t let you slide in at certain points.
Turning could still be made quicker.
Corners are worse than FIFA, so far despite putting many hours into it I’ve probably scored from one or two. It seems unbalanced, ridiculously so in favour of the defence.
Please punish people for quitting. So far my record online is played 22, won 11 lost 11. I’ve actually played more like 50 matches, but people just quit most of the time when I’m winning.
It’s a great game of football on the whole, the best yet I’d say. I like interactive celebrations
Captain your Country mode! Please keep that for FIFA 09. Seeing your name and hearing your voice is brilliant.
Battle of the Nations doesn’t really work for me, because the nature of gamers and competition means that you constantly get French gits quitting on you whenever you go 2 goals clear.
I’d like to see a name and shame league table for quitters. A league table shown at the end of each month showing the top people who have quit the most games.
Why isnt there a training option.
So noobs (like my GF) can first try and learn to dribble with the ball and when theyve mastered that they can go on and learn how to shoot,tackle,corners,etc,etc.
If you have never played a football game before its mighty confussing enough to press the correct button….
i liked my uefa 2008 for my psp but it could be better by adding more frames per second to make it more fluid and a real 3d model of the ball also . try to tweak the psp version its almost perfect
Forgot to mention this to my previous post; Other than the feedback I gave, I must say it is truly a great soccer game and you are improving constantly (in contrary on your worst rival).
-Most importantly (and obvious), fix the the constantly dropping player ratings, they are corrupt. very nice idea though, but fix it.
-The lagging responsiveness of dribbling is much improved over fifa 2008, but still very laggy. I don’t know if this is a feature of realism, but I think the EA soccer genre would gain an overall point in median review scores (www.metacritics.com) .
-Less important: Taking the ball, by means of direct contact, from opponents of higher rank (4.5-5 star teams) when you are playing a 3-4 star team is way too difficult. I understand the difficulty of improving the methology, but at least give it a thought.
-PRACTICE MODE PLEASE
-Cancelling a move is important and adds a new dimension to gameplay i.e., I want to be able to move a player wherever and whenever I want to and not just during certain situations.
-Last but not least, this is important: Explain how the controls work in depth!! How do you curl in all situations? How are all the fancy dribbling-moves performed? As an example, “early cross” is something that I to this date (after playing all fifa´s since the beginning) don’t understand. Also naming it early cross seems to be a big mistake. What is the definition of early anyway?
(if you mind, please read what people say at https://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/uefa-euro-2008/ , thats sort of, a lot of feedback for you. Most of it is good feedback aswell. You never seem to reply, but that’s maybe the approach you want to have.)
The PC version SUCKS BIG TIME! why the heck didn’t you port it from the 360/PS3 version (like PES does) and instead you give us PC players the horrid ps2 conversion?
It looks awful and it abosultely plays awful. The menus and presentation are so old…it looks like this whole game (and so was fifa 08) is from 2002.
PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 6
is the answer…
FIFA or EURO, is like the same fifa-style: crappy runs, crappy shoots, crappy goals… ARCADE FEELING…
why is PES6 the best foot-soccer game? heheheh
(why is PES5 the second best soccer game?)
SKILLS, TECHNIQUE… u now..
i like the game, the running speed, the campiagn mode are excellent!!
BUT 2 FATAL problem:
1. the match kick off by the same team (user team) in both 1st half & 2nd half
2. when having penalty during the match, other players are far from the box. (so even the penalty is saved, the taker could easily get the ball back and then one on one again!!)
Annoyed, that your making me fork out £50 for a game that could have been incorperated with FIFA 08…i won’t be buying it or any FIFA again, I will stick with Pro Evoulution Soccer from now on
EA I am sorry because I said the Game sucks !!
I have play this game on Ofline and ofline sucks ! but Online Knockout Tournament RULLS BABE !! animations are sweet,
Uefa EURO 2008 WAS A DISASTER.I hope No other one buy this rubbish.I wonder why is building this comic games .fifa08 was a game like chess.It was Boring.YOU could never score a goal in that game .after konami published PES series(specially after pes5 ea tried to make his game better and more realistic but they made it worse.ea MUST change fifa series game engine.I can only say every version of fifa games wasworse than last version(after fifa05).now pes is the best soccer game.
I dont get the difference between fifa 08 and euro 08….. I got them both on the pc and both of them sucked…. I understand you have to give the gamers the real feeling and stuff and so you’ll oput everything into the console version but just a small plea from a very old and true pc fifa fan… please make it awesome for the pc as well! Thanks in advance
No official Netherlandese team…
They lacks too many official kits and real players…(in world cup 2006 there were ALL official kits of European teams)…
Short anthems…
You can’t save your replays as mpgs movies…
Ugly visual for penalty kicks…
Only better crosses and little better graphics
Poor liscenses with the teams. Especially a game made from EA known for its licenses. 4/10
Except better crosses and a little better graphic, Euro 08 is worse than FIFA 08…
A semi-disaster…

Why are their not water on the pitch on Euro 2008 ps3 ?? >:(
And Why are there Light from the start Demo Xbox 360 on Euro 2008 ??
Why are there no Light from stadion on the demo start match on PS3 ? >:(
That is so sad because why all this good thing is going to Xbox 360 ? like water on the pitch and light on stadions -.-‘
Fifa 09 on ps3 should be better that Xbox 360 fifa 09.. Cause Ps3 have much power than Xbox 360!
I like euro 2008 Demo.. But Use CryEngine 2 in Fifa 09 Ps3 !! please Like Crysis graphic Please … That will be soo realistic and Cool !! And more animations !
Good game Better Speed and grafic than Fifa 08….
I will holland pay thy guest your shuld not the corectley license this are not by the Fifpro are by team holland bv.
i will
atuturk.
only 1 germany stadium thats olympic stadiur berlin.
1 france stadium that are stade de france you have this stadium from the rugby game.
more license kits rusia and his stadium.
stadium of greece europe champion or euro 2004
another generic stadium now like or fifa 08
In the beginning, I’m japanese, so English can be written only a little, sorry.
I like FIFA08 so much, and I like “PRO view” on single play.
But on EURO 2008 Trial, “PRO view on single play” is not found!!
I was so sad… and I did not think that there might be “PRO view on single play” on FIFA09 and became uneasy.
I hope for “PRO view on single play” to be installed in FIFA09.
Hold out and keep developing. I assist, and am looking forward.
Its a good game i love the whole kick stick thing and the new penalty shootout system the one draw back of the game was the whole licence think like the kits players names stuff like that like No proper Kits for Wales Ukraine Russia Lithuania Holland Cyprus San Marino ect ect also why no new kits for Portugal?
good game. prefered the speed of the demo though. maybe slow and fast game speed
for fifa 09 like the other fifas? needs a good broadcast angle. 360 version of the angle isnt too bad but needs to be closer. cheers
great game real drawback on the dutch team, however their attributes match their positions didnt know van persie on the right wing was bald’ shaved for a cure maybe?
well its a shame and the dutch FA (knvb) like making it hard for the guys at EA or EA couldnt give a #*^* about the dutch team.
After to play de demo in play3
Run when R1 | Change player when L1 !!!!!! please
The run animation still crapy.
The camera and the velocity is very good now.
this game is good but ther is no good teame of holland
– EURO 2008’s running speed is much better than FIFA08. I expected new camera views in game, but hope to see it in FIFA09.
– You should release EU 2008 earlier in US.
make sure that the speed of reactions with the control and players are the same in fifa 09… feels more smoth and real..
keep “Interactive Celebrations” for fifa 09
Good game!!! I like euro 2008 (playstation3). Will be there a roster update before the real tournament starts?
