Now what?

Well, for starters, I just got the UEFA Euro 2008 game – and after playing yesterday two games and getting outscored 11 – 5, I have alot of learning to do. So within the next 3-4 weeks, I will officially announce “The EURO 2008 OFFSIDE CUP” tournament.

This will be a tournament exclusively based on the real life groups and teams (yes, that means England will be ineligible). So stay tuned for that bad boy.

But what of another FIFA 08 Tournament?

I have a few ideas i am shooting around –

+ A single table MLS format (14 teams), where everyone will have to play each other twice. Top four teams enter a playoff, 1v4, 2v3, and the winner is crowned champ. Thats 28 games for a player to go through, not an easy task.
+ A “World Cup” much like the offside cup, but with International Teams.
+ “Battle of the Nations” club tournament - 4-5 teams from each nation (or region) will be grouped together, with several groups fighting it out, and the winners of each group are the Best of their Nations teams and advance to play world teams – our own version, just tweeked, of the Club World Cup.

I want to get your ideas. Let me know what it is you would like to do moving forward.

The fine folks over at EA Sports sent us over these beautiful gifts:
A bunch of screenshots for the upcoming UEFA Euro 2008 game!

With about a month of waiting still to do, these will wet your appetite even more.

First thing I notice from these pics? They are all either under cloudy skies, grey skies or rain. Gearing this product to the European game much?

The graphics already seem more fine tuned than the current FIFA product. Then again, who can judge just yet?

Anyone up for a Euro Offside Cup?

I call dibs on Argentina. Oh wait . . .
