- I played both FIFA 03 and 05 on Xbox.
- Enjoyed the '05 Practice mode, including practising passing, corners and free-kicks.
- Just got '08. Haven't seen those features yet, but I haven't tried manager-mode, so maybe they are in there (cross-fingers). If not, makes practising a bit harder.
- In '05, I also liked the ability to pinpoint long passes using one of the 3 options. The purists may think this was an oversimplification, but it made counter-attacks very dangerous and exciting.
- And also, as already mentioned, the ability to control off-the-ball runs with the right-stick was also a nice feature.
Cheers,
NG
