Re: FIFA 08 (360 & PS3)
It depends on the producer they get. I used to personally know one of the guys who produced it, and honest to God, of all the people they could have hired, he was the last person on earth you and I would want to produce it (although, he was perfect from EA's point of view). He was all about animated hair, scoreboards that updated in real-time, birds that fly over the stadium, black-and-white "pressure" moments when the teams are in the tunnel, all of that shit. The first thing he pushed when he was put in charge was something to do with the music. :|
But with the guy they put in charge for FIFA 07 and now FIFA 08, they've got a really good chance of developing a great game. Both are really passionate about their football, and looking at their history in the business, they know what they're doing (although Joe Booth worked on the current-gen FIFA 07 - most of what he did involved game modes though, he "invented" the Interactive Leagues mode, which was absolutely brilliant and will be included in FIFA 08).
If EA are ever going to get it right, this is the year (and that's not based on them saying that in the press, that's based on me looking at the producers they've had for ten years, and the producers they've had for the past two years). And FIFA 07 was a massive improvement, so you can only hope FIFA 08 is as well.
