I'm not a fan of football but I quite like football games, was thinking about picking up a cheap copy of FIFA '08 now that '09 is out because I don't really care about player names or who is on what team etc.

 

So who wants to sell me FIFA '08 on the PS3 for £5 inc P&P?

 

(And is it worth getting or is '09 so much better? Don't forget I don't care what the players are called or who they play for, I'm not a fan)

Pro-Evo is much better.

 

Yep. Might have a copy of Pro Evo 2008 available after christmas *crosses fingers*

 

Having said that though FIFA 08 was very good:) Not played 09 but it can't be that much better. Save your money Michael and get 08 if its FIFA you want:)

The jury is out these days... most of my office have turned to (what I would describe as) the dark side.

 

Pro Evo always had rubbish graphics and good playability, but now flashy old Fifa has the same playability and nice graphics... dam you EA!

 

hmmmm.... I'm still a Pro Evo stalwart I think though :)

Fifa 09 is a much better game (not in a name's sake)

 

The speed of players is finally sorted, the ability to play the ball is much better with the computer making better moves.

 

I like the new feature of 'be a pro' where you play in a fixed position and are awarded points on how you play in this position.

 

If you are just after a footy game you wont be dissapointed with 08.

 

But just for the record... Fifa - Realism with looks. Pro Evo - A faster paced game with end to end play but not arcade like.

I class myself as mega fussy when it comes to football gameplay.

 

I never played FIFA 08 as I was still a Pro Evo kind of guy back then. I recently bought PES 2009 on a whim whilst in Carlisle as obviously it has always been a lot better game play than the FIFA games. Started playing it and it looked good but all the team names were rubbish and the transfers were not up to date etc.

 

Went round to Jeffersons for a pint or two and showed him PES 2009 and he reckoned it was ok. We put his FIFA 2009 on and the game was far better in every sense. All official licences, better gameplay and I must say it's harder to beat the computer on FIFA. I went back to HMV in Wigan and swapped it the day after, even though it cost me an extra tenner.

 

Personally Michael I would splash the cash on FIFA 09 as it's the best footie game I have ever played. I have turned to the dark side and tbh I am quite shocked......:blink:

To be honest I think the days of 'pro evo is better' are gone and Fifa has caught up (from what I've been told). I still prefer the modes in Pro Evo and only have PES2009 atm.

 

From what I've heard, Fifa 09 is much improved over 08 but unless you're particularly bothered about the latest game play improvements or specifics of kits/teams etc., I'm sure FIFA 08 will keep you entertained.

 

To me, FIFA has always been the more 'approachable' option - more of a 'pick up and play when you're bored' than an 'immerse yourself entirely until you lose all social skills or interest'. Sadly, PES2009 has completely taken over my life in the last few weeks. I can't get away from the 'Become a Legend' mode.

:yeahthat:

 

I'm almost ashamed to agree that Fifa is now the better game. There are still annoying parts to it and I'm not able to do all the tricks etc yet, but if you want a football game it is the best there is. PES hasn't really "evolved" IMO for the last 4/5 years. :(
