...huge depth that has made Football Manager the market leader in the football managing genre.
So...is it still the best??? Well this is always going to come down to the individual person and their choice but if you stick at it and get used to the new developments you appreciate it more and more and see how fantastic the small improvements really are. If you are willing to sit and make notes on tactics, players, training and all other areas then you ...

Review of FIFA 08 (PC)
Advantages: New improved gameplay, good graphics Disadvantages: Still not perfect
...I was moving away from FIFA to Pro Evolution Soccer, I am once again loving FIFA. After playing the latest Pro Evolution on PC I would say FIFA is better. There isn't a lot of change from last year's Pro Evo, the gameplay seems the same and the graphics are not as good as FIFA 09. People criticise FIFA for being too easy, which I have noticed in past additions but now you cannot score from really far out every time and also from close-up. The goalkeepers ... ...good graphics- definitely go for FIFA 09. If you're just bothered about the gameplay it's a tough one because FIFA has updated it a lot whereas Pro Evo haven't really, but it is still good gameplay.
If you really liked the gameplay of last year's Pro Evo get the new one.
If you want something new and/or the whole package get Fifa 09.
Only £14.97 at Amazon.
8/10. ...
