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.
Bug!! You can see an offside bug in this video:

All you guys are nerds, you never say anything good abouth anything.
Get a life.
If you want it to be realistic, how about get of your bum and play a real game of football!!!!!
Make the players kit move real, and players hair, like in NBA 08
Make the pitch little bit longer, and make the players slower,but the animations of players should be realistic,!!!
Euro 08 is like old fast unrealistic fifa is back on ps3 gameplay! I dont like it, and its like PES to !*
Fifa 08 is Just perfect
allso benzema should be better, make players running styles more unique,choice of changing boot colours too would be good.
the games ‘ok’,c.ronaldo should be better and more realistic, I dont know y i bought this though as you can create tournaments in fifa 08, wheres the holland team? please make fifa 09 faster, more realistic, more skill involved, better tricks better free kicks and havea real trianing mode and a season mode where u go one player for the whole season. in next euro as well make it so u can go one player for the whole tournament but not be captain.(c.ronaldo #1)
unrealistic too easy to score you had through balls and shooting on fifa 08 perfect just need crossing and headers like germany 2006 and fifa 09 will be sweet
Bought this game 3 days ago and in my honest opinion its a pile of trash! The game play has reverted to the old series of Fifa’s where you win 10 nil everytime. Fifa ’08 is a masterclass game on they got the level of realism and playability spot on, especially when you play online often only winning 1 nil or 2-1 with the games very tight.
I can think of no pros to this version of the game but here is my list of cons:
Annoying goal celebration feature (its fun for the 1st few games but no option to turn it off).
Tackling is impossible and completely different from fifa’08, the players slow down when they make the tackle.
Gameplay is slower.
Through balls are way to easy now and its easy to get 10-0 score lines
You can no longer move the goal keeper the entire length of the goal line to save penalties.
Freekicks and corners are a joke its pure lottery and no skill involved(the same of fifa’08 but slightly less so).
There are glitches within this game (Have played over 500hrs of fifa’08 and never encountered a single glitch)
The Boss Of Konami said that Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 will be much better than they have!!
They will begin from the start and make it realistic 😛
Fifa 09 Should Be really good, because PES 2009 will be 100% Good, PES know what people want.. But fifa dont, so read ours masseges please :=)
I cant understand why all the losers say that Euro 2008 is the best football game right now !! How I know why , because all people that say euro 2008 is best because they cant play on the fifa 08 because its to hard for the losers !
Fifa 08 its for professionel and is the best football game right now on the earth!
Euro 2008 is fast,Easy,Unrealistic!!! I hate this Game !! SO BORING !! Knockout is the best in this game !
This Game is by far the best love the idea of captain your country which i can’t enough of, But the only thing i think should improve is more commentators as the same ones get a bit boring to listen too, Then i think the computer A I is too precise passing long balls and through balls as it seems it goes straight to there feet to much to often as where as in real life players seem to miss control the ball and then the opposition takes advantage of it which i think would make it more realistic.
just simply terrible!!!
sik game but shud have been half price
I am impressed with the gameplay in euro 2008, and i think it it much better then fifa08, because it is more realistic. you get to see the trainer, more reactions from the players, and the dribbling is much much better then in fifa08!, because you can now use your skills as and adventage, and not look stupid when the computer just stands still and takes the ball, like in fifa08. The celebration-mode is fantastic, but there should be even more celebrations. The grafic is better then in fifa08, so keep up the good work end make fifa09 the best game!
DO NOT MAKE FIFA 09 LIKE EURO 2009 !!
In fifa 08 it is hard to score a goal, like in real match!
But in Euro 2008 its easy, and you can score 10 goals and more that is sooo Unrealistic !
* Online Be a Pro – (I felt robbed of my money when it was not in euro 08)
* Better camera angles (similar to Pro Evo) or custom camera angles
* Improved free kicks and have free kick training, none in euro 08!
* CPU AI needs to be improved so when CPU player has the ball they act similar to real life players such as if the AI is C.Ronaldo he does tricks and other similar characteristics that he would normally do in real life matches.
* Gameplay and speed was very good in euro 08 better than Fifa 08 so keep it in Fifa 09.
* Include referee and linesmen and have realistic subs with 4th official holding player numbers as they come off/on.
* Injuries need to become better in that having other players reacting to the foul telling the ref to card or sent off the other player. Also see the player receive treatment and have touch line update commentary.
* As for commentary have more banter and for god sake no John Motson EVER, I know he’s not in the recent games but still I don’t want him in any future ones.
* Crowd atmosphere needs improving such as chants, cheering and booing.I your at a live match.
Include all of these points and you have the best football game of all time.

I agree witch you, the gameplay is teribble on Euro 2008 ..
Fifa 08 gameplay is hard and better.. Euro 2008 is like arcade game!
The one thing i love in euro 2008 is Online Knockout Tournament, the knockout is just genies! 😛
But Fifa 09 Must have Fifa 08 slow gameplay !
Hello, sorry for my terrible english, I am french ;o). Your game fifa08 is incredible and so is the uefa 2008 but :
Be careful with the spped of the game and some players. Henri is not as quick as he is in the game, same thing for Cisse and in general for each famous player. Defensors must react more quickly, they are not so slow in their reactions in reality.
The keeper : please implement the possibility to really control him (L1 + triangle for example) and not only making him out of the goal while pushing triangle button. Please implement an intelligent keeper, which means a keeper that take the ball when it arrives slowly on the ground, and a keeper which calculates the trajectory of a center in order to go out in an intelligent way.
Thnal you in advance,
Bruno
EURO 2008 …
GAMEPLAY IS TERRIBLE! fifa 08 rips it apart… What was EA thinking?
Shooting is terriblle the gameplay too fast
Good thing is theres less interceptions.
Its very pro evo like and its discusting, u can only score very few goals they are all similar it sucks.
What happened? STICK TO IMPROVING FIFA 08 PLEASE!
I think its so Easy to score a goal in Euro 2008 its soo urealistic like on PES 2008 crap game!
Fifa 08 is the best game that been ever made of EA.. the players move slow in fifa 08 and the make players play togheter like a team !!!
In Euro 2008 its fast gameplay like PES and I hate PES I want that Fifa 09 has the gameplay like fifa 08 and dont Make the gameplay like Euro 2008 .. I want fifa 08 gameplay to Fifa 09 😀 😀 😀 !!!
I think Euro 2008 is great but I havent play Fifa 08 to ps3 yeet .. but I dont want that EA make gameplay to fifa 09 like Euro 2008!
I watching movie about fifa 08 and I think fifa 08 looks harder and professionel and FantastiC!
I will defently give my Euro 2008 ps3 game to Fifa 08 ..!! But one thing I want in fifa 09 is CLUB Style
every club have their own style to play football , like barca playing many passes and ball is undergrund !
THATS DISCRACEFUL .. NO HOLLAND TEAM .. THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST NATIONAL TEAMS IN THE WORLD AN WE PAY FOR THE GAME AND ALL OF THE EURO 2008 TEAMS AREN’T EVEN IN IT!!! WHATS ALL THAT ABOUTT ?? POOR ACTIONS FROM FIFA 🙁 YOU HAVE LET US DOWN (N) 🙁
I played the ps2 version of Euro2008 and overall it’s a good game but:
1 No Holland (missing 1 of the just 16 teams for an official game is bad)
2 Schedule (the schedule in the euro2008 mode is false (for an official game very bad)
3 Tournament information gets “ïnvissible” after every round. (why?)
Holland should be in this game!! they have a good chance of winning it
i mean c’mon! they should have the real jerseys and players not freakin de noteboom!!!
EA..just pay the price to get the rights of the Dutch national team already!!!
When i start the game, my screen turns black and after a view seconds it returns to the desktop without starting the game? What could be the problem? (I also have fifa 08 and that runs very good, so i don’t think it’s a problem with my pc)
one thing real Holland,iceland and wales
If I loved fifa08, but I am very, very, very disappointed by UEFA EURO 2008.
No 2vs2, No 5vs5 = 70€ !!!
CAN EASPORT MAKE A PATCH !!!!!
I have buy (or bye) this game, but i resell it quickly if EASport don’t make this fu**ing patch in the next week !
Thanks
I Forgot another
Speed of FIFA 08 spot on Graphics spot on
1 Include the ability to adjust speed for yourself then UEFA fans can play their speed and FIFA 08 fans can play there speed
2 i read in here to make like PES that is a big NO NO that why FIFA is FIFA
3 Team Edit / Creation
4 weather effects that affect the gameplay wind snow heavy rain
5 subs warming up, refs, linesman
6 Real time lighting time of day you play detimines the type of match setup night/day
7 Downloadable Stadiums and content
8 unlockable content make it available from the start, unless conected to the player points so more you play more points more you unlock
9 make it impossible to run the whole pitch and score as in UEFA
10 Keep the ai defence as hard as in FIF 08
11 improve reponse times
12 more options on free kicks like choose how many men in the wall , make the wall moveable , choose to have men on the line,
13 set pieces user set options
14 More leagues and stadiums (loads of room on the Blu-Ray)
15 Crowds to wear team colours
16 injured players to go off tothe side lines and wait to come back on
17 more options for create a tournament not everybody plays the manager mode
18 i would like a global cup competition to ramdom all the league teams in the game and play 2 leg knockout like the FA cup but against all the teams
19 Graphics are excellent on FIFA 08 keep that style not the UEFA graphics which are cartoony and arcadey
20 improve on the brilliant FIFA 08 sim and keep FIFA 09 a sim make the player pass the ball and build up the play as in real football no 6-0 wins against Germany or Argentina
21 Leagues and Comps not realistic for Bolton or Colchester etc to win the premiership make it realistic
Gameplay is good but the graphics sucks too much aliasing and I still don’t understand why you are not able to create a 1080p sport game as good as virtua tennis 3
EA why in the france country we haven’t a official ea board the only website for fifa is fifakulte is a website make by a gamer it’s not a official forum ?
make a ea, official forum for french gamers please
and attention for the price of your game in france country the price of euro 2008 is 70 euros then if french buy the game in engalnd or usa we win money so the french people not millionary then the good price dor euro 2008 was for example 40 euros more gamers haven’t buy euro 2008 in france country because the game is too expensive
Hi all!
Gameplay and game speed greatly improved; but goalkeepers AI, ball physics and free kicks have to be reworked.
Visually a great game, though menus suck in my opinion, they are way too slow and not intuitive. Team selection has to be done in 1 page like on your rival’s game!
Referee MUST be on the pitch, and saving replays should be much more simple.
Overall a great game, the price of 70euros is a shame though.
And by the way … what’s the problem with Holland players ??!
Good work guys, Fifa 2009 will be mine at 99% if you head on that way 😉
Ps: Sorry for my english …
Personal I have not really love at all should review the speed of the game and especially physics strikes ball which for me is not at all realistic and also because the players when they say courts on really not true football player on their how to run and tackles who also serve not a little too square to define the game and not enough fluiditer movements in the rest nothing if not a repeat
why have you delete the 5 vs 5 online option in euro 2008 ?
MAKE A PATCH FOR ADD 2 VS 2, 5VS 5, you can already make the 10 vs 10 option in online, also i no bye euro 2008 if you make a patch.
Good morning,
Level GAMPLAY, I prefer EURO 2008 to FIFA, but it is only one thing which I prefer because for the rest, have can say that the euro is, definitely on, made that underneath it is the euro, there is not championship, it is logical and besides, good point to have topped up a complete mode with eliminatory, friendly match, one truth campaign! because before in this type of game (World Cup 2002) there was that competition, and it is for it that I have never bought this type of game, and if I bought the euro it is precisely parcequ’ he offers a mode of complete game, because all that is final stage, have can make it in every fifa…
Level style of drawing, I find the euro and a bit similar fifa, I do not arrive too much has know which of prefers level style of drawing, as for the public, it now became a habit, to fifa, it do not know how to make a good public! the public of fifa95 has today almost the same is but I grant you that it is not the most important…
Level option of game, therefore complete mode nothing has say, furthermore with the mode of game online euro which I think made well and that it is a good idea, on the contrary, and it is the big problem of game, it is the absence of 2 vs 2 and 5 vs 5! her has revolutioné the fifa 08, and it is not in the euro there? I even heard that he will not be in fifa09 however it is definitely a thing which once again made revolutionize game! which damage…
For the rest, menus, comments, not too much change, it is made well, not big thing has say…
To finish, it is therefore needed 2 vs 2 and 5 vs 5, and it ets minimum…
make TURKIYE better thn greece
– goalkeepers are so bad
– uefa is too speed, the fifa08 speed was better
-uefa is arcade so much
– passes are aproximatives
-take exemple by pes2008 animations
– arbitre ? where is he?
– online mode: we can’t invite a friend 🙁
Thanks
I forgot some things:
-Please include a team-edit mode, where you also can change kits and names of the team. This is missing and I very much like to make my own sort-of fantasy-league.
-make the radar somewhat more visible. In cetrain situations it greys -out and then it’s hard to read.
-Also a camera-position from more zoomed-out from the default-position. That way you can plan the moves ahead better.
EA don’t sleep after the good fifa 08 i am very very angry why have you delete the 5 vs 5 online option in euro 2008 WHY?
this option was very great in fifa 08 and euro 2008 no sell because there haven’t this option
i don’t understand your game politic why not make poll before the out of a new version for see want options want gamers.
the network code in euro 2008 is better than fifa 08 and 2 vs 2 or 5 vs 5 online option will be great if you decide to make a patch for add this option in euro 2008 and you can make a patch THEN MAKE A PATCH FOR ADD 2 VS 2, 5VS 5, you can already make the 10 vs 10 option in online
and please if you add this option don’t forget to put a password on the 2 vs 2 and 5 vs 5 for the leagues thank you.
EA please listen your customers don’t sleeping.
yes do change the speed on fifa
goal keeper saves nearly every shot you take at him from 15 20 yards out
the shooting needs to inprove more powerfull shots
at the moment you sometimes full asleap with the shooting and the gameplay
make it more like pro evo its no good having great grahpics you need to sort the gameplay out to be honest the best fifa game was france 98
fifa euro 2008 is very good.
why we don t have japan team in every fifa?
i would like you put every cup nations,europe,america,asia,africa, and world cup in fifa 09 and uefa with champions league cup.
if the camera will identic of pes,that s pleasure to play.
thanks and lets go fifa team
EA please don’t change the speed of Fifa 08, UEFA is too speed and personnally I don’t like it. So keep Fifa’s speed.
Improve goalkeepers AI, sometimes keepers don’t react as good as we want.
Please EA improve Players’s faces, in some cases they look like evils; It will be funny and more immersive if we can see referees (not only on cut scenes when there is a fault); thats can be great if we can see team’s bench enjoying and reacting after a goal or a missed shot the same time as players on the field ,or player training before a substitution like it is in some basket ball games. thank you all for your job in fifa 08
Hi
I like the route you taking in FIFA 08 and needs weather and options in free kicks to add men move the wall, set pieces same goes for corners
I for one liked the difficulty in the AI defence and found UEFA way to easy to run up the pitch with one man and score
We need to see refs and linesmen, injured players going to the side lines, better graphics than UEFA arcady is not the way to go
Downloadable content such as grounds etc
But mainly make it a sim as FIFA 08 started or you will lose a lot of FIFA fans that love FIFA 08 as a starting block
1. Goalkeepers
Way too good. somehow the game seems programmed to always give the goalkeeper a possibility to save a shot, even in situations where a real goalkeeper wouldn’t be able to. Reaction times need to be longer in certain situations, and the distance they can jump from a standstill needs a more conservative realistic setting. It’s not realistic standing still in the middle of the goal and with a single leap quickly saving a ball that would’ve hit the post. Also the goalkeepers suffer from poor physics adding to this problem. Right after taking a shot, you can sometimes see the goalkeepers being “pulled” in the direction of the shot, without actually having to use their legs to move. This gives them unfair advantage and adds slightly to the lenght they can move to save shots.
If making the goalkeepers realistic suddenly makes it too easy to score, change the shooting to make precise aiming more difficult (evenly across the shot acc stat range).
2. Defending
The games biggest flaw. On a 8 minute per half match, usually there is 1 or 2 fouls in the entire game (if I don’t try to intentionally foul with a slide tackle).
The players are just too gentle. Right now the only If I am running alongside or towards an opponent, and press and hold A (“pressing”), I want the player to actually do things. Use his body to disrupt, try and get a leg in when he can, use his arms etc. Single button presses could be used, with appropriate timing, to make your player take a stab at the ballholder. If you are too far behind or in a bad position, you are more likely to clip the foot of the opponent than the ball.
To put it another way, if I am holding the A button for dear life, I’d rather have my player cause a freekick than to not do anything. This would finally put an end to the unrealistic long dribble runs of the AI, where you are constantly trailing them, but since they can always turn in a way that favors them keeping possession, and your player not doing anything even though you are holding the A button and close to him, you can’t get the ball.
3. Shooting.
This would probably also need some redesigning. The main problem for me is the pace of the shots (which coupled with the goalkeepers being so good makes the goalkeepers able to save just about anything).
Mainly, The shots just feel too weak. They can’t be considered “unrealistic” (since it isn’t unrealistic to shot a weak shot in real life, as opposed to shooting a shot that is harder than humanly possible).
The shooting system should be redesigned and more carefully modelled after real life examples. Currently, despite the aspirations of having a realistic physics system and such, it’s not possible to do certain things. The system should be redesigned to allow recreation (accurate power (flight time), trajectory) of for example Seedorf’s famous longshot, Adriano’s “bomba” (youtube it), and other such examples.
Also I always have the feeling that the shooting system favours topspin style shots more, with makes it hard to do those 30m shots that just keep climbing and climbing until they hit the roof of the net. This was more evident in FIFA08 I think, since you would more often than not lob the goalkeeper from long distance shots (controll shots looking like topspinning freekicks a la Ronaldinho), rather than just powering it past him. It just looks odd when you shot most of the time, like the ball has got almost no air in it, and it’s just pushed by the boot of the the shooting player, rather than forcefully bouncing off his shoe. Again, if this would make it unrealisticly easy to score or such, then change the way that you need to time shots to restrict too many clean hits when shooting.
Also, the animations when shooting need some refining. The player shooting often puts his supporting leg way too far from the ball, which in real life would seriously lessen the power you could get for the shot. This weird stance also causes some unnatural movement in the supporting leg and hip at the point of shooting, since the player needs to reach “down” with his body in order for the shooting foot to hit the ball, which is located so far away from his supporting leg. The result is just so uncomposed and awkward-looking. When shooting you would aim to put the supporting foot fairly or very close to the ball, to improve the power in the hip-movements when doing the pendulum movement for a shot.
4. Headers
The positioning system is much improved over FIFA08 (where it was nonexistant). But although you now can move your player and position him for the header, I still miss the freedom of PES5 for example. Sometimes my players seems to be in a position to head the ball, but for some reason he doesn’t jump ot such, and an opponent comes in behind him and heads a goal completely clear. I would like more playable dynamics for duels, so that it doesn’t feel like the AI at any point can just resort to heading in a goal or two just because it wants to.
5. Super Cancel
This one is essential, and the fact that it isn’t yet implemented is staggering. RT + LT should cancel any runs chasing a pass and such, and give complete control to the gamer. It just looks ridiculous when you see a pass being intercepted from a mile away, but your player just runs to the spot he thinks it is going to reach anyways.
6. Corners.
WHY does the cursor automatically change right after the corner is taken? If I have my cursor set to manual (no auto changing), why does that not apply to corners? And when the auto changing sometiems changes away from the player that is in perfect position to head away the corner, what’s the point? It’s invasive and completely clunky and wrong.
fix those 3 things and i´ll never touch a pro evo game again^^
1) Ball Physics need a lot of work, current gen fifa has better physics then next gen
2) Shooting, especially animations on shooting
3) Goalkeeper AI
me again have every premership
ground if you cant fit all them in have no option to download them like you do in over games on xbox live simple
yeah sort the players faces out i no rooneys not that good looking but you make im look like some evil monster and look at owen hes even worse bout time you had weather changes
sort the shooting out ea its rubbish there is no exitement in it we want 25 to 30 screamers that go in the net ? make the shooting the way pro evo 2008 then you will take over pro but at the moment sorry no and the heading is crap and make it a bit faster still not a pro evo beater
Dont change the game speed EA
This game is AwEsOmE
I hope you will continiue to make the fifa games to next gen good !
But one thing ..when you make a player you should be able to do him to a star or we should able to change hair on C.ronaldo or other players :I
And Read My ideés about fifa 09 ! you will like it
Gameplay is great, but you should add “be a pro” to any mode. And not necessary “be a pro”, just let us choose to play as a fixed player, there’s no need for extra whistle and bells. I would have loved to be able to play regular tournaments with a fixed player.
hi, very impressed with fifa 08 and euro 08, prefer them to pro evo and always liked evo more in other versions.
couple of things
dropping stats are a pain in the ass, ive never seen them increase
fix the bugs, like when a oppoonents player goes missing
camera view, i find the one that is default the best one but it’s just set a little too far away, would be nice to have a option to zoom a little to suit the game more
see better the game and look the comments from all countries who you have in fifa euro 2008.Dont ask us,because they pay to you for add.If you listen a comment well:the gameplay is good(but some move reminds the pes2008-sorry if dont like you),the teams is the best(that dutch team you must add with real names)and grafs better from than fifa 08..Continue your try you are in good way.
