One last feature is the Battle of the Nations feature, which lets you play “for your country” against other Xbox Live players for points. Unfortunately, that competition ended last month, pretty much nullifying any important reason for Battle of the Nations to exist… at least for now.

While there some nice enhancements to the FIFA engine on display here, the game's content and the graphical issues present problems that aren't easily fixable. If you are an absolute lover of European soccer, you'll likely be buying this game. Everyone else should hold off for FIFA 09, which will hopefully have some of the graphical issues resolved.
Pros: Be A Pro is better than ever and Captain Your Country is an interesting concept. Custom celebrations are fantastic and fun. Game's A.I. slightly better than in FIFA 08.
Cons: Graphical glitches can cause havoc on the field. Customization less accessible than FIFA 08.
