Football is all about the passion of winning and losing, and taking your team to glory – how is this replicated in FIFA08 on the mobile phone? Our aim for FIFA08 is for users to experience the passion and atmosphere that comes with watching or being a part of top-flight football. For users to experience that passion on their mobile phones we ensured that each game is preceded by a match intro with a famous football pundit (Andy Gray, for example) who introduces team lineups, etc. We have also included text commentary throughout matches, so all the crunching tackles, blinding goals and offside decisions are highlighted and brought to life. The match commentator will provide a half time comment in relation to your performance on the pitch. We have also included a new ‘club challenge’ mode that presents a sequence of scenarios that a user can choose from, throughout a season, that really brings the highs and lows of football to the player, setting tasks such as coming into the second half 1-0 down or trying to win at 1-1 with only 10 men and 30 minutes left on the clock! What new features can we expect with FIFA08 for the mobile phone compared with FIFA07? There are plenty of new features for FIFA08. In addition to ‘game commentary’ and the ‘club challenge’ mode, we have spent a lot of time ensuring that each and every player has individual statistics. You will find that players such as Wayne Rooney have a great shooting attribute, and Ronaldinho has great speed and passing ability. We have also included what we call ‘in-form’ players. Randomly before each match, up to three players will be marked as in-form, which means these players will have heightened abilities for that match only. Defenders are less likely to get booked from slide tackles, passes from midfielders are less likely to get intercepted or go astray and strikers will have increased shooting accuracy. We have added a visual effect to these players, too, to highlight their skills. There is also now a sprint key for an extra burst of speed but users should be careful in overusing this feature as we have also added fatigue to players. Use the extra burst of speed too much and you may need to look to your substitute’s bench late in the game. Players will now do an automatic standing block tackle as well as a sliding tackle. And we have added the offside rule, too, for the first time for the mobile game. On capable handsets we have also added ‘landscape mode’, meaning that users can turn their phone on its side and play with a widescreen. We have also added more pitch textures and improved the stadium and crowd as well as allowing the user to customize the position of the radar. |
