Features
All Consoles
The game will have a new feature that will allow you to take control of an individual player for the entire match called "Be-A-Pro" mode.[1] Another new mode on FIFA08 will be the all new "Scrimmage" mode where you can practice versus other teams.[2]
Wii
The Wii version of the game will contain many exclusive features and a unique gameplay. There will be soccer related minigames in which Miis will be used. They will have hands, a first amongst Mii related games. The Nunchuk is used to control a player's body, with the analog stick used to control the direction the player moves; the Z button is used for turbo running and to put spin on the ball once it's kicked. The Wii-exclusive "RonaldMiinho" will host a game mode designed and created exclusively for Wii called Footii Party with Ronaldinho. With this mode, Fifa 08 introduces unique party games - including Table Football and Shoot Off – where you can play as your self-created Mii character to unlock Ronaldinho and take on the champ.[3]
