While none of these things break the game, they certainly don't do a good job of making it feel authentic. During camera cuts that showed events occurring outside of gameplay, the players would often appear just after the camera changes, so you'll see the grass and then a split second later, 11 players pop in and they're listening to the national anthem. About half the time, I started a game by transitioning from the loading screen to the players' pre-game warm-ups, the game would make a startling and hideous static noise. Once you get in the game, the presentation still feels good, but there are little holes in the system that can really get on a player's nerves. The loads are no longer masked with a scene of a shootout with a goalie, the menus don't feel as slick, and the list goes on. Considering that the game almost plays like a carbon copy of FIFA 08, I found myself confused about why the step back was taken. If you've followed the series, you'll notice upon booting up that the presentation is certainly of a lower grade than what we saw in FIFA 08.

Karma Harvest Remix in Need for Speed: ProStreet, M.O.M.UEFA Euro 2008 was released to go hand in hand with the Euro Cup this year. It is based on the 2008 UEFA Men's European Soccer Championship, which was played in Austria and Switzerland in June 2008. UEFA Euro 2008 is a 2008 soccer game in the FIFA series, developed by EA Canada.
