There is a "Be A Pro Mode" where you can choose one player to get to the championship. It's almost like watching a live soccer game right from your computer if you can get the right plays made during the game. Coaching options have significantly improved as well as the ways that the players move on the field. There are several European teams in the league, but there are American options as well. When you begin playing the game, you'll see that the graphics have greatly improved over the other games in the series. As with other EA Sports titles on PC, the content is identical to the PS2 game rather than the next-gen versions.Play as one of your favorite soccer teams from across the world in FIFA 08. Online players can also update their squads by downloading current lineups, formations, and strategies. Internet support is featured in Interactive Leagues, where the online community takes control of opposing teams in your selected club's real-life schedule. Goalkeepers can be switched from AI to manual control at any point, with saves, throws, drop kicks, and slide tackles all initiated with single button presses. New manual controls involve holding down a button to determine the strength or distance for passes and crosses. Returning to the game is the Manager Mode, which offers a few new additions such as the ability to schedule training sessions during the week. This experience can then be used to enhance an athlete's core attributes, with the "winner" being the player with the most experience at season's end. Both team and individual tasks are presented before each game that award experience points when successfully met. Players in this mode can create a custom profile to track personal statistics and to develop their athlete over time. This allows up to four friends to play on the same team in specific positions that remain locked throughout a match and over the course of a season. The most notable addition from past iterations is the "Be a Pro" cooperative season mode.

The FIFA series continues on PC with FIFA Soccer 08, featuring 30 official leagues, 38 authentic stadiums, and over 12,500 licensed players.
