FIFA 08 - going backwards from FIFA 07
FIFA 07 PC was a great game and FIFA 08 is almost the same, but takes a step backwards. The graphics are not as good (I don't know why they altered the graphics - the players look like they're wearing phony toupees, and they don't move with the fluidity and realism of FIFA 07). If you want to just watch a game, there is absolutely no scoring - you could watch a fairly realistic game in FIFA 07.
The manager mode is basically the same, and the press asks you the same managerial questions you've answered a thousand times in FIFA 07 - enough already! How could they not change these questions?
There seem to be more errors in the gameplay and announcing, and they haven't fixed some of the old ones. In the manager mode, for example - players you loan out to other teams can play against you (they can't do this in the real world).
When you control a team, the gameplay might be a little better - you probably can't run down the sidelines as much as FIFA 07 (in world class mode), and it's a little tougher to take the ball away from the offense. The "be a pro" technique is fun.
Overall, it's basically FIFA 07 with lesser graphics and less realistic player motions. At least you get the updated teams and ratings and a few more announcing tidbits from Clive Tyldesley. If you don't want the updated teams, you can probably just stick with FIFA 07, or wait and see if the price goes down on FIFA 08.
