Re: FIFA 08 (360 & PS3)
I think the people saying they're looking forward to this game immensely (especially Coopz who says he's dying for it now) need to realise that its base is UEFA CL and the button-lag is still there. I agree with Gomito - well, 50%-ish, which I think is the most I will ever agree with him over anything
- that if you couldn't stand the lag in UEFA you won't be able to stand it in FIFA 08. Yes the physics are incredible, the AI is improved and the shots are "fixed", but the lag is still there and the crosses are still "floaty", so if you had a problem with either of those in UEFA CL you're going to have a problem with it in FIFA 08. In the same way that I will have a problem with PES2008, because the ML is the same and the videos show it has the same base gameplay, which I don't like any more unfortunately (and I regret that because I had so much fun with the game six or seven years ago).
Just don't get your hopes up too much, because then you're guaranteed to be disappointed (because the slightest little thing will send you crashing down to earth).
There was talk of a game-speed option a while ago (which is in current-gen but I doubt will be in next-gen to be honest, it wasn't before but apparently a "contact" - how reliable have they been lately - said it will be). That may "fix" everything, because if you increase the speed of the game then you increase the speed of the animation run and the speed of the reactions, plus the speed of the crosses (so the ball won't appear to float). But A) this is at the expense of realistic speed, and B) I really really doubt it will be in next-gen. But we'll see. Not long to go until the demo now... Hopefully...
