Introduction [1] ******************************************************************************* My name is Tim Roast (gamertag: TheMightyRoast). This is my fifth XBOX 360 guide. I write these guides to try and help fellow gamers in the same way that I have been helped by other gamers' guides. My other guides were: 1. FIFA 07 XBOX 360 CHALLENGE MODE GUIDE version 1.2 2. FOOTBALL MANAGER 2006 XBOX 360 ACHIEVEMENTS GUIDE version 1.0 3. UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2006/2007 XBOX 360 ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE version 1.0 4. FIFA 08 XBOX 360 CHALLENGE MODE GUIDE version 1.0 FIFA 08 is the latest in the series of EA Sports games that started with FIFA 94. This guide is aimed to give you a complete picture of what the game involves and the ways to partake in it for maximum enjoyment. It is based on the XBox 360 version so may be different to other formats. ********* Donations ********* Writing guides takes a lot of free-time. If you find this guide useful and feel appreciative please feel free to donate money to me via PayPal at the above address to enable me to keep on making valuable guides. Also I am always happy to receive feedback, particularly if you love my guide or found it useful. ******************************************************************************* 2. Versions [2] ******************************************************************************* Version 1.0 submitted to gamefaqs.com on 12/Jul/08. ******************************************************************************* 3. At the start [3] ******************************************************************************* If this is the first time you are playing the game then you will be prompted to create a FIFA 08 profile. This needs doing if you want to save your progress over time. This will prompt you to select a favourite team. If you don't have a favourite team then I suggest you go to the Rest of the World section and choose World XI or to use the team listings in section 5 of this FAQ and choose the team you like the name of. After this you will be asked if you want to have your initial settings with autosave on or off. I prefer to not have autosave on as it always prompts you to save after every match anyway. However you can choose either and if you want to change this later you can do so via the FIFA 08 Profile Management screen (see section 12 of this FAQ for more information). At the start you are in control of one player in the free roam arena. The only other player is an opponent keeper. In this area you can practice things like dribbling, shooting, skills and free-kicks (by pressing the d-pad at the place you wish to take the free-kick or penalty if in the area). By pressing start here you can access the main menu. But first you will need to know the controls: ******************************************************************************* 4. Complete controls [4] ******************************************************************************* The menu navigation controls are: Highlight option: D-pad/left stick Select/advance: A Cancel/return: B Cycle through pages: LT/RT For the in-match controls there are four control configurations which can be found from the main menu at: My FIFA 08 > settings > XBOX 360 controller settings The default option is Classic. Using this option gives the following controls: With the ball: Dribbling: Move player/jog: Left stick Sprint: Pull and hold RT Stop the ball: Release the left stick and pull RT Stop the ball facing the goal: Release the left stick and pull LB Pace control: LT Forward run: LB to send a player on a run Knock on: Use the right stick while sprinting to knock the ball ahead of your run Tricks: Use the right stick and hold LT for close ball control.

League, team and stadium listings [5] ******************************************************************************* There are 576 teams in FIFA 08 spread across 32 leagues. These are listed below in alphabetical order by league. Making up these teams are over 15,000 players so please forgive me for not including a complete player listing but it would have taken an extremely long time to do and would have clogged up printers around the world when everyone printed my guide. Please note the star listings are accurate for kick-off mode and the beginning of manager mode etc. but may change as you progress through manager mode and will also maybe be different for online matches where the January transfer updates have made some changes.

Kick-off [7] ******************************************************************************* This is the option you use if you just want to play a match without any fuss. Clicking this option will take you straight into a match (single player or local multiplayer). Cycle through the teams (see team listings above in section 5) and choose a match up. Alternatively you can randomise your team selection using the X button as stated on the bottom bar. After your teams are chosen you get the opportunity to select the kits you want the two teams to wear. Some teams have third kits that are initially locked. These can be unlocked from the fan shop (see section 12 below). Advancing from here will take you to the team management screen where you can pick your players, formation, mentality, set piece takers, and man marking options. More details on this are available in section 11 below. Advancing from this menu will take you to the settings menu. More details on the settings are available in section 12 below. Advancing from here will take you into a match. ******************************************************************************* 8. Game modes [8] ******************************************************************************* There are six game modes in this game: Contents of section: 1. Be a Pro offline training [G1] 2. Tournament mode [G2] 3. Create tournament [G3] 4. Manager mode [G4] 5. FIFA 08 lounge [G5] 6. Challenge mode [G6] ****************************** Be a Pro offline training [G1] ****************************** In this mode you take control of a single player during a match. When choosing this option the first thing you are shown is the different icons that you will see only in this mode (which is new for the FIFA series) and descriptions of what they are. You have your: Performance bar: Shows how well you are playing Positioning arrow: arrow to show you where you should be positioned, the further out of position you are the more arrows you'll see (from 1 arrow to 3) Threats: Rings around opposition players that are your responsibility to make sure don't receive the ball. Call for pass/cross: Seen when you ask for a teammate to pass/cross to you Call for through ball: Seen when you ask for a teammate to play a through ball to you Call for shot: Seen when you ask for a teammate to shoot Call for second defender: Seen when you ask for a teammate to defend Offside flag: Seen when you are in an offside position Now when you begin the match you get to choose the normal settings as in team matches but also you get to pick which player to control. Now you all set for this mode. Note that the mode lasts for one match at a time. ******************** Tournament mode [G2] ******************** In this mode you get to play some of the real tournaments that appear in FIFA 08. They include the leagues and main cups from each of the leagues given in the team listings section above. They don't include the cups that are one-off matches (e.g. F.A. Community Shield) which can only be played in manager mode. A full listing of all the real tournaments in this game are given in the "My Stats" section of My FIFA 08 (see section 12 below). Once set up you can play some tournament matches in an attempt to win the tournament. Also if you want to quicken the pace you can sim matches too. You can also save the tournament and come back to it at a later stage. During the tournament use the statistics option in the menu to see the tournament standings of your team. ********************** Create tournament [G3] ********************** In this mode you can create a custom tournament. When creating a new tournament you can choose a number of options: The name of the tournament Type of tournament (knockout, league, random, group and knockout) Number of teams Whether you want the opposition teams automatically picked The style of trophy you want Suspension rules (i.e. how many yellow cards a player receives before being suspended for a match) Red card ban (i.e. how many matches a player is suspended for following a red card) Subs on bench Stadium to hold the final at Rules for legs in each round, whether you play teams once or twice The team you want to be Once set up you can play some tournament matches in an attempt to win the tournament. Also if you want to quicken the pace you can sim matches too. You can also save the tournament and come back to it at a later stage. During the tournament use the statistics option in the menu to see the tournament standings of your team. ***************** Manager mode [G4] ***************** In this mode you get the opportunity to partake in 15 seasons of managing a team or teams to glory (if you are good). You also get a chance to play the matches to help you achieve this. First choose your team. When starting with a new team you will have an objective (e.g. finish in the top half of the league). Fail this and you could be sacked. Next choose the sponsor of the team. This will provide your regular income other than from ticket sales so it is important to choose a good sponsor. The better you do the more sponsors you get to choose from. If you are starting a new manager mode you will also get the chance to add any created players to your team now. (Once started they can't be added.) During the season use the statistics option in the manager mode menu to see the league standings and cup progress of your team. At the seasons end if you have done well the board will offer to extend your contract for another year. If you choose not to then there are plenty of other teams (all of them) that will want you to be their manager. If you do decide to stay and build your dream team then you'll begin another season by picking the sponsor again and doing what you did before. Once again you can save and wuit out of this mode at any time to return to it later. Also you can sim matches to make the manager mode go quicker. After 15 seasons manager mode will end. But during this time there are some options only available in manager mode that you will need to use: Transfer central [M1] Player growth [M2] Office [M3] Fatigue [M4] ********************* Transfer central [M1] ********************* At the beginning of the season it is a good idea to offload any players you won't be using through the season (that's if the transfer window is open - it is open in January, July and August). The reason for doing this is because the players will be taking an income and if your club gets into debt you may end up getting sacked even if you are topping the table. All this can be done through the manager mode menu > transfer central > transfer list. Here you can list your players for sale or for loan. After completing one more match you will hopefully get some offers in for them. Now you have cleared out the deadwood from your team you may want to improve in certain areas by sigining some new players. This is done in the manager mode menu > transfer central > transfer market. From here you can search for players you want. Bear in mind if a player is not transfer listed then a club will not be tempted to sell their player unless you offer more than they are worth. Conversely if the player is transfer listed then the club will not be needing him so may be willing to accept less than he is worth. Now if a club does accept an offer from you the player may still not sign for your team. This will especially be the case if he is moving from a big team to a less prestigious team. To see the reasons for an offer not being accepted or why a player has rejected the opportunity to join your team go to the manager mode menu > transfer central > negotiation history. Of course if you have no money you will need to improve the players you currently have. This is done using player growth: ****************** Player growth [M2] ****************** In manager mode the players you have at your club can be improved. This is done by using experience points. Experience points earnt can then be used to upgrade your players. To access the player growth menu go to the manager mode menu > team management > player growth. Here you can upgrade your players. To earn experience points your players need to play in matches. The better the player does the more experience points he earns. The main thing you are trying to increase is the players overall rating. This is shown on the player screen in the top right and says OVR followed by a number. This can go up to 99. Also younger players gain experience point faster than older players and older players skills start deteriating (i.e. going down). If this sounds to much to get stuck into you can turn team auto growth on and never have to worry about it. *********** Office [M3] *********** The office is where you'll go to buy upgrades for your coaches etc. It is accessible via the manager mode menu > office. In here you have the calendar showing all your upcoming matches plus all the matches you have already played. You have your scouting option so you can search for free players for your team, even outside transfer window. I say they are free but you still need to pay for your scout to go on the trip and a signing on fee if you decide that you you want to sign the player. You have your player contracts option so you can resign any players you want to keep. You have your staff upgrades option. This is an important option. Here you can upgrade your coaches in the attacking, midfield, defensive, goalkeeping and fitness areas. This will mean that your players will gain experience points quicker so will be able to level up quicker. You also get to upgrade your head scout so he finds better players for you. You can upgrade your negotiator so you can get better deals in transfers. Lastly you can updgrade your stadium manager so that your income from ticket sales increases. The last two options in this menu will show you the sponsorship contract and your manager history. ************ Fatigue [M4] ************ Also in this mode players fatigue from the last match carries over so if your players start to get really sluggish it is a good idea to let them rest a match to allow them to recover. Fatigue is also helped by upgrading your fitness coach. ******************* FIFA 08 lounge [G5] ******************* The FIFA 08 lounge is designed for local multiplayer matches. You can track how you do against your friends by saving the stats match by match. Also lounge mode awards cheap shots to players which allow you to gain an advantage. In this mode you can play a classic match (where you play with your favourite teams), a luck of the draw match (where you randomly get assigned cheap shots) and a random teams match (where the teams are chosen randomly). Cheap shots are gained after matches and up to three can be assigned before a match. A full list of cheap shots can be found in the FIFA 08lounge menu > lounge details > cheap shot guide and are listed below: There are 35 cheap shots available. You can hold multiples.

To access challenge mode go to game modes then choose challenge mode. To start with only 10 challenges are playable. These are challenges 1-2 in region 1 and challenges 1 in regions 2-9. To access the other challenges you need to unlock them by completing the other challenges first. There are a total of 105 challenges split over 10 regions. By completing challenges you gain points that can be spent in the fan shop on unlockables such as balls and kits. To spend the points go to My FIFA 08, EA SPORTSTM Extras and Fan Shop. One further note is that each time you restart the level using the in-game menu it with count as a failure in the challenge so another way of restarting is by going to dashboard and loading up the game again until the challenge is complete. You need to complete a region without any failures for the accomplishment book (for more info see section 12 below.)

Now score the goal and you have one goal with a defender so swap the same two players back to their original positions and repeat to get your second goal with a defender.

Concentrate on keeping your shots on target. * Best way to score with the RWB or LWB is to run them with the ball up the line to the touchline, then to turn and cut inside into the penalty area running parallel to the touchline and shoot across the keeper into the far corner of the goal. * Another way, and easier, of doing this challenge is to play normally and just before you about to score with a striker, say, press start and go into the team management menu and swap your striker for the RCB. Now score the goal and you have one goal with a defender so swap the same two players back to their original positions and repeat to get your second and third goals with a defender. * If you shoot off target you will need to restart. *************************************** Region 2 - FRANCE/BELGUIM/HOLLAND [ZZ2] *************************************** There are 10 challenges in region 2.

Then try and score in under five minutes with one of these players. You may also want to play an attacker in these positions to make their shots better (they will still be classed as a defender as that is the position they are playing). * Another way, and easier, of doing this challenge is to play normally and just before you about to score with a striker, say, press start and go into the team management menu and swap your striker for the RCB.

Tips: * In this challenge you need to go for goals but also concentrate on getting your shots on target. * Once you have scored with a player swap him so he is further back and less likely to score again. Then do the same for another player. * Once you have three different scorers move everyone back to their normal positions. * After this check the Match Facts to see what percentage of shots you currently have on target.

Once done score two goals with a midfielder and a forward. * Best way to score with the RWB or LWB is to run them with the ball up the line to the touchline, then to turn and cut inside into the penalty area running parallel to the touchline and shoot across the keeper into the far corner of the goal. * Another way, and easier, of doing this challenge is to play normally and just before you about to score with a striker, say, press start and go into the team management menu and swap your striker for the RCB. Now score the goal and you have one goal with a defender so swap the same two players back to their original positions and repeat to get your second goal with a defender.

XBox live [9] ******************************************************************************* This is the multiplayer mode where you can play people from around the world and demonstrate the skills you have learnt from this guide. Contents of section: Interactive leagues [X1] Online leagues [X2] Be a Pro online team play [X3] Ranked/unranked matches [X4] FIFA 08 leaderboards [X5] FIFA 08 lobbies [X6] ************************ Interactive leagues [X1] ************************ In this mode which is new to FIFA 08 you get your chance to partake in a real league representing your chosen team. There are 8 sets of teams you can represent: 1. English Premier league teams 2. French Ligue 1 teams 3. German Bundesliga teams 4. Mexican teams 5. Italian Serie A teams 6. Spanish top division teams 7. MLS teams 8. Selected international teams (during the pre-season break) You choose a team and then play a gamer representing the team that your team will be playing in their next real-life match. After the real-life fixture has been played the results from all of these matches are compiled so that a league table is formed. So represent your team. ******************* Online leagues [X2] ******************* In this mode you can join a league where you play the other gamers in the league and the person that wins the most matches comes top. To play a league match go into the league lobby, see if any gamers are online. If so click on them and there is an option to invite them to play their league match. League matches do not have to played in a particular order. ****************************** Be a Pro online team play [X3] ****************************** In this game mode up to 10 people can play in two teams of 5 players. When you join a session you can choose whether you want to represent the home or away team. If you are top of the list you will be the captain. Being the captain gives you privileges such as being able to decide what team you play as, what formation you play and the substitutions to be made. There will be a 5 minute countdown as the match begins. Once begun you can choose which player you represent (like in Be a Pro mode offline training) or to choose to be Any player (i.e. all the players that no gamer is playing as). However be quick because once a player is chosen by someone no-one else can choose that player. **************************** Ranked/unranked matches [X4] **************************** You can choose to play matches ranked or unranked. Ranked matches collect all your statistics and allow you to be ranked in the FIFA 08 leaderboard. Also ranked matches have set parameters, i.e. 5 minute halves with injuries, offsides and bookings on. To invite friends to ranked matches you need to either be in the same lobby or you can click on your friend in your Friends leaderboard and invite to a ranked match from there. You can custom to search for ranked matches where you play an opponent at the same skill level as you or play an opponent with a low DNF%. (DNF% = did not finish and is the percentage of ranked matches that the player has quit early from. If you want to complete matches then avoid playing gamers with a high DNF%.) Unranked matches are not monitored and allow you to change the settings. Also you can easily invite friends to unranked matches. ************************* FIFA 08 leaderboards [X5] ************************* Leaderboards are at: XBox live > XBox live custom match > FIFA 08 leaderboards By playing ranked matches you get to be ranked on the leaderboard. The rank is determined by who has the most skill points. Skill points are earnt by winning matches and are lost by losing matches. Winning against a higher ranked opponent gives you more skill points than winning against a lower ranked opponent. Here there are 4 leaderboards you can choose to view, the weekly, monthly, 08 overall and all time. The difference between all time and 08 overall is that 08 overall counts just FIFA 08 matches. All time counts previous FIFA games. By clicking on a name in the leaderboard you have a number of options: You can invite gamer to a game, send message, view their career, compare stats or view their gamercard. Clicking on your name (or another gamers name) and choosing to view the career brings up your stats from ranked matches. You can see your total stats or cycle through to see your most recent 10 matches played. The skill level at the top of the page is determined by the skill points you have. It starts at 1 and as you go up the ranks it increases up to a maximum of 99. Once you reach a certain skill level you never lose it even if you lose all your rank points. Lastly on this section it is a good idea not to quit from ranked matches. Not only do you ruin the enjoyment for the other gamer but also you get penalised by losing a lot of rank points. If however there is an extremely poor connection and you feel you can't play an opponent there is a grace period in the first 20 or so (in-game) minutes of the match where you can quit and not get penalised. ******************** FIFA 08 lobbies [X6] ******************** This is where you can play more sociable games. Join a lobby, find someone with a headset who is a similar skill level to you and play away. ******************************************************************************* EA Sports (TM) Footballworld [10] ******************************************************************************* The first time you come here or play your first XBox live match you are asked to put in your email address and a password.

The main question I get asked on the achievements is that gamers have over the amount of XBox live wins they need to unlock the achievement but it hasn't unlocked. The reason for this is because it only includes completed matches so all the times gamers have quit on you you may have got the win towards your rank but not towards the achievements. This is designed in this way to avoid people boosting these achievements. Also in this menu you can see the FAQ section which includes some frequently asked questions which I hope are covered in this guide anyway. You can see the latest news, the terms and conditions, you can view recent offers and see the credits of all the people who made the game. ******************************************************************************* In match menu [13] ******************************************************************************* The in match menu has the following options: Resume match - use this to return to the match Team Management - this is covered in section 11 above Match Details Instant replay - use this to see what just happened in the match, instant replays can also be uploaded to the PC using your EA Sports Football World profile Match options - these settings are covered in section F1 above Restart match Quit to the arena So here I am going to cover the Match details part of this menu: Match facts Match events Tactical line-ups Player analysis The match facts option shows the amount of: Goals Shots Shots on target Tackles Fouls Yellow cards Red cards Injuries Offsides Corners Possession % Shot accuracy % Passing % per team. The match events shows all the main events from the match such as goals, injuries and bookings. You also see the player involved in the incident and the minute it occurred. Tactical line-ups show the formations of each team and the players making up the positions. Player analysis gives more detail. The most detail is seen in the player details section as this gives the all the statistics by player of how may long passes etc. they have done which is useful for challenge mode. ******************************************************************************* Strategys [14] ******************************************************************************* To sign off I thought I'd write a short strategy section. Basically every match you play you want to win but how do you do that? Well first you need a good formation. My preferred formation is 4-3-3. This is because it gives me a solid defence with 4 players at the back but also I have a lot of attacking options with my 3 players upfront. However football is a diverse sport and you may prefer another formation. Also when in my matches I like to do lots of short passes to nearby players to work the ball up the pitch. Then once in the area I like to shoot low past the keeper. But like I say football is so broad that you could play it completely different and be successful. Anyway with any game to get better just practice. Start with the simple stuff first and then as you become more competent use the advanced controls listed in this guide. Hope this guide was useful to you and feel free to leave me feedback (my email address is at the top). ******************************************************************************* *******************************************************************************
