FIFA 08

Fifth difficulty level:
Successfully complete all challenges listed in Challenge mode from any two zones.

Hint: Easy goals:
To get the most out of corners, aim towards where the most people are (slightly to your left if you are taking it from the right side of the pitch and vice versa) then set it to full power by holding Circle. As soon as it comes in, keep tapping Circle and someone will header it in.

When the goal keeper throws the ball to a defender, quickly tackle the defender and hold L1 and press Circle. Almost always this will chip the keeper, as he cannot get back to the line in time. This makes for a good replay, and also works from half way if you can time it correctly.

Use the following trick to score an easy goal from corners. If you are kicking the corner from the left side of the field, then kick it with a lefty. If you are kicking it from the right side, use a right-handed player. Aim as far away from the field as possible, and kick it with about 75% full. After this, keep pressing Circle and someone will most likely header it in after it hits the post.

Hint: Stopping penalty kicks:
Use the following trick to stop a penalty kick about 80% of the time. Move your goalkeeper to either the left or the right side of the goal (as far as you can move him). While the striker is running up, move the goalkeeper to the opposite side (of where you first moved) and dive low. About 80% of the time you will stop the kick. Use the Left Analog-stick to sidestep faster and get a better chance of saving the ball. Note: Sometimes the kick is too good to stop or he will not kick this way.

Hint: Manager mode: Spending experience points:
In Manager mode, access the experience points menu. Near the top of the screen is an option you can toggle if you wish to have the experience points spent automatically. Turn the autospend off. Save up until you have about 40,000 experience points, or roughly a third of a season. Then, go back into the menu where you spend your points. You can spend a lot more points in one go. This makes it easier to decide what aspects of a player to upgrade. When you have 40,000 experience points, turn on the auto spend. The CPU spends the points better if there are more to spend.

Hint: Recommended formation:
Go to "Create Formation" and select 4-3-3 as your base. Make the four defenders a wide diamond, with the sweeper at the bottom of the diamond in the middle of the 18 box, two defenders at the corners of the box, and the last defender just above the semi circle slightly. Note: The top defender should become a midfielder if you have him placed correctly. This formation works better than the 4-3-3 alone as well as any other formation.

The following is a great set of players to have on Manager mode. These players are quality buys if you can get them quite cheap and you are looking for players who develop into the 96+ category overall rating. To find the best players, do a search for all players aged between 16 to 19. You can find some 17 or 18 year olds with a rating of 90. These players only cost about $7 million because of their age, and you can make them worth about 40 in a season if the play well for you.
