And while we're talking about the negatives of the game, offline multiplayer modes, while great, lack something. I used to work in an office of fifty people, and most of us played with mates the exact same way. Rather than start a three or four team league, we would start a Premiership, each picking one team each (so for example, I pick Arsenal, they pick Liverpool and Tottenham). The rest of the teams would be allocated as CPU teams, but then, when it was time for one team to play (in this example, Arsenal v Bolton - a CPU team), I would control my team and the other players would control the CPU team. One against two - and the best thing about it was, instead of playing the same teams over and over, you would get to play a variety of teams. Unfortunately, for Xbox Live Achievement reasons, you can't do this in FIFA 08 on next-gen consoles (even though you can on current-gen consoles). I would love to see this fixed at some point (with an option to disregard achievements for the duration of the match), because it adds so much to the multiplayer experience.
