Some new gameplay footage from FIFA 08 has been released and though it looks extremely similar to FIFA 07 EA say that Footballers in FIFA 08 now benefit from A.I. so smart, it features a 35-point decision engine which enables players to process multiple decisions and reactions in real-time. Players are now aware of their surroundings, reacting authentically to threats and opportunities to make intelligent football decisions.

The FIFA 08 shooting system has been revamped so we'll apparently have more control and precision in front of the goal. The next-generation ball-striking engine calculates shot success by combining an almost infinite number of different contexts, including ball spin, pressure from defenders, player attributes, and even air pressure to recreate the drama and unpredictable nature of shooting.
