God - this game is hard!
So, I played FIFA 07 years ago and after exciting news about all the England getting into the World Cup I was desperate again to play a good football game (I only really play FPS now). I bought FIFA 07 again but then realised it's only got premier league teams and then immediately bought 08 because it has got my beloved Nottingham Forest in it! BUT blimey it's hard! I can't seem to win even on amateur! There seems to be no space at all! In 07 if the opposition had a shot, they invariably blazed the ball over or missed horribly. They don't with this game - you can't let them shoot! Nor can I seem to sign anyone!! AAARGH!

Tips pleeease!???

Actually, I've really got into it now! Came second in the league overall and was promoted to the championship - but still on amateur! Loving it looooooong time!

I've discovered you have to get really close in order to score!

Is 09 a lot better? Does it have lower league teams in it?

Can't work out how to sell someone though........

To sell someone, wait until the transfer window & it's the bottom option in the transfer section.

Fifa 09 has lower leagues too, prefer 08 gameplay but its each to their own.

I'm 6 seasons in playing on legendary with Barnsley, won the premeier league on goal difference last year.

Didn't enjoy this game at first but after alot of practice it gets easier. Easiest way to score is a little turn/move just before shooting from 8 yards but with practice long shots aren't too hard to pull off.

Make sure you are not right next to defenders & have good control of the ball. LT button is close control, usually press this just before I shoot from far out, rarely max out the shoot gauge. Also use RB button for a finesse shot from around 20 yards max which often places the ball towards the corners. Rarely shoot while sprinting as ball will generally go anywhere. Also, pressing shoot at just the right time makes a difference so if you catch it just as it rises off the floor you'll get more power.
