Uefa Euro 2008 Squads Roster update

I have got some comments on when the roster update is available.

This update was available for a long time ago, in early june. But it’s just for the Xbox 360 and PS3! So if you have Xbox 360 or PS3, go to download squads option in the game.

UEFA Euro 2008: PORTUGAL WILL WIN UEFA EURO 2008

Electronic Arts


And the UEFA EURO 2008 trophy goes to… Portugal! EA SPORTS today declared the winner of UEFA EURO 2008™. Using the simulation engine in the UEFA EURO 2008™ videogame, EA SPORTS was able to test all 16 teams in the competition and determine that Portugal would come out on top. UEFA EURO 2008, the officially licensed videogame of the tournament, also predicted the following placements:

•    UEFA EURO 2008 Champion: Portugal
•    UEFA EURO 2008 Final: Portugal 2 Italy 1
•    Golden Boot winner: Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal (5 goals)

Players around the globe will compare these astonishing statistics to the real world results as they unfold. The Final itself was an epic battle where Italy’s resilient defense was pitted against Portugese flair, with Portugal ultimately winning 2-1 to capture its first European championship. Goals from Deco (28th) and Ronaldo (63rd), his fifth goal of the tournament, staked Portugal to a 2-0 lead early in the second half before midfielder Andrea Pirlo scored in the 75th minute to bring the Italians to within one. Portugal survived a frantic final 15 minutes to capture the Henri Delaunay Trophy.

In the EA SPORTS™ simulation, old rivalries were reignited. France was beaten 2-0 by Italy in one semifinal, in a replay of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final won by the Italians 5-3 in penalty kicks. In the EA SPORTS simulation the two teams played to a 1-1 draw in a group stage match.

Portugal knocked off Germany 2-0 in the other semifinal.

Host countries Austria and Switzerland both failed to advance from the group round. Switzerland was the first country eliminated from the competition. Luck also ran out for Croatia in the group stage. After knocking off England in qualifying, Croatia had injury problems, losing star forward Eduardo among others, and failed to advance from Group B.

UEFA EURO 2008 REVIEW

I have now played a lot of Uefa Euro 2008, and therefore I will give you a review of it.

The game plays very well and offers new modes that I like very much. The graphics are slightly better, with puddles on the pitch, very nice weather effects and stadium visuals. Some faces are a little bit strange though, but when you have looked at them closely, you will recognize them. The game is also slightly faster that feels great. It said that this game is more responsible, and its true, but not by very much.

The thing that is very sad for Netherlands fans, Wales fans, Faroe Islands fans and Iceland fans is that their national team isn’t licenced! Trouble with the rights from FIFA I think. Especially Netherlands since they are a very good team and they have a chance to win EURO 2008.

Now over to the gameplay. New animations, new passing system, managers on the sideline, new heading system and better keeper. New animations is especially for the manager that we now can see on the sideline. He shouts, interact with the play and do manager things. If you shoot and miss you will often see the manager get disappointed on the sideline and if you substitute a player you see him standing there thinking.
Its a new cool feature but it can be too much of it, because you see him in every stop of the play. When you substitute a player you cant skip the manager cut- scene. A bit annoying, but you can live with it.

The passing is better as you now controls the power of the pass, and have better control over where it goes. Its a good feature, but I had hoped for that you could choose if you would use the “tap the pass button” or this “choose the power of the pass” system. Don’t misunderstand me, its a good system that works great.

The heading is also improved as the player now really goes for the ball in the air, and that you controls the heading better. It is very difficult to head at goal at very close range, but I think its a training thing.

I also think the keeper is better. You cant score from 16 meters so often now on amateur, as on FIFA 08. You must really work to get a goal. New goalkeeping animations do it more various and fluidly. If you run out with the keeper, he will now go for the ball more often than he did in FIFA 08. The keeper in FIFA 08 went out and waited for the ball to come to him, this is now much better. He is a bit slow to react on some shots, close and from long range. Should be better in FIFA 09.

Modes: Kick Off, CYC (Captain your Country), UEFA EURO 2008 mode, Story of Qualifying and EURO online knockout cup. Kick Off is the same as in FIFA 08, you pick two teams and play. A quick match. CYC is the new mode everyone is talking about. It is nearly the same as BE a Pro in FIFA 08. In EURO 2008 you create yourself or pick a football star that is in the game and play your way to the EURO finals. You pick a national team that you would like to play for. Then you first play for the B-international team and if you play good enough, you will be playing for the first team. If you create yourself, you earn points for playing good. These points are used to improve yourself in the game. For example you improve your shooting.
This is a very funny mode that I have played for many hours. Very cool that you could play for your own national team and maybe win EURO 2008. You can set your commentator name also, so if your have a common name, it should be there.

UEFA EURO 2008 mode is where you play the tournament itself. You can choose to play only the finals or begin at the qualification. If you begin straight at the finals, you can only choose between the teams that have qualified in real life. A mode that must be in to be called UEFA EURO 2008. Funny and challenging.

Story of qualifying is moments that has happened in EURO matches in the history that you play and try to do various challenges. Funny, but difficult at some matches.

Euro knockout online cup is where you choose a team that you use in all matches. You search for a opponent and play. If you win, you go further in the cup. Each time you win, you come closer to the semi-final and then the final. This is a great mode, but since you choose one team for the whole cup, you get troubles if you use San Marino and meet Portugal for example. Its therefore a difficult mode. Haven’t played it so much.

Battle of the Nations isn’t a mode, it is statistics of how good you and your country are. The first time you play UEFA Euro 2008 you choose the team that will get the points for every match you win in any mode. So if you chose Norway, they will get higher on a table if you win much since Norway gets points for your victories. Its great too see how good you and your team are, and you will try hard to get higher on the tables.

A new feature this year is also Gamer Controlled Celebrations. Here you have about 40 different moves you can pull off after scoring a goal. This is very funny I think, because you can celebrate how you want to for about 10 seconds. The two categories is running celebrations and finishing moves. Running celebrations is when you run and do a goal move, for example you get your hands high. Finishing moves is when you do a move that end your celebration. For example the “robot dance”. Some of the advanced moves is more difficult than the easiest ones, and that feels correct. You wont get bored with it.

The referees is unstable and don’t judge as they should. Sometimes he give just a free-kick for a tackle that he gave yellow card for earlier in the match. And he blows the match off when I sometimes is at an attacking position. Frustrating.

I also think that the players reaction to the situations is too slow. Its a little bit better than 08, but not good enough. When you turn around in some situations, the player is very slow, and the opponent can just take the ball from you. Something that should be fixed until FIFA 09.

I think I have written the most important things here. A very good and funny game that you will enjoy for several hours both offline and online. Some irritations is there, but not that will tear off your gaming time.

I give it 5/6 or 8.5/10.

Euro blog: Battle of the Nations

Now it’s time to explain the role of those points shown at the end of the match. At full time you’ll notice there’s a screen that shows how many points your performance in the match you just played was worth. I read on the EA forum that the thought was these are points you earn and get to spend in an in-game shop, but that’s not what they are for.

These points are for the product’s unique competition, Battle of the Nations.

In the full product there’s a video that explains this, but we couldn’t include that in the demo because with the inclusion of English commentary, we would have exceeded the total download size we were allotted. So for now I’ll play the part of the video and explain.

Battle of the Nations is a daily competition which will show us which country has the best football gamers in Europe. It should be a lot of fun to see how this takes off once the game launches and which countries end up battling for the championship.

All you need to play is to have your console connected to the EA Servers; you don’t have to play online games if you don’t want to. A lot of people find the online games to be very intimidating so this is designed to allow everyone to take part by playing against the CPU so long as they are connected online.

Each match generates a score, this is true for 11 vs 11 matches and also Be a Pro matches. The biggest scores come from winning matches on a high skill level, especially if you use a weaker team against a stronger team. Once your match finishes, that score is uploaded and represents yourself and your country. You choose your country at the start of the game and you can’t change it once you’ve logged onto the servers for the first time. That’s to prevent people changing country on a whim and perhaps using it in a destructive way to lower other country’s scores. You are free to play matches as any country you like so you can choose your challenge, but the points you earn always count towards your specific country.

This score you generate joins all the other scores from around the world and we work out which country has the best average score. So a country with only 100 gamers is able to compete against one with thousands. There are also leaderboards that show the countries and the gamers, so the score represents yourself as well. The day’s competition starts and stops at midnight (CET). At this time the day’s finishing positions are converted into points towards the overall leaderboards. The top ten countries are awarded points and the top 250 gamers also. Then the next day’s competition starts with clean daily leaderboards.

There are five different leaderboards each day to represent these game types. Kick Off (Team), Kick Off (Be a Pro), UEFA Euro 2008, Captain Your Country, and the Euro Online Knockout Cup.

For Euro & CYC you need to complete the whole game mode to register your score, and you can only do so once. Cue much manual saving and reloading for the perfectionists. But all the time you spend obsessing over the perfect score means you have less time to try and do well in the other categories, so it’s a payoff of how to best use your time. Plus there’s always a minimum number of games that a gamer and a country have to play for their leaderboard entry to be valid, so you can’t obsess too much about perfection or you’ll never play the required number of games.

With the Euro Online Knockout Cup this Battle of the Nations idea means that we should see far less “Barcelona” syndrome. Simply because you score less points for winning matches with the best teams. So you may find it is easier to win the cup with France but that only scores you 200 points. If you just win one match with Andorra you score more, so hopefully the best gamers will not be the ones choosing the best teams and we should see online being more competitive as a result.

If you are one of the top 250 gamers in any of the five daily leaderboards you’ll also receive a trophy the following day. Your trophy will populate your My Trophies screen and you can show off to your friends.

Come June 30th, the day after the actual Euro final, the battle officially ends and we’ll see which nation wins and which gamer wins. The daily leaderboards and trophies will still continue after June 30th but the overall leaderboards will not update any longer; the champions will have been crowned.

So who is going to take up the challenge and show that they want to represent their country against all the other nations?

It doesn’t matter if your nation didn’t qualify for Euro 2008, any of the 53 UEFA nations are able to compete and any one of them could prove to be the champion nation of the virtual UEFA Euro 2008.
