a single match of FIFA Soccer 08. The new feature is automatically available for
the Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 when connected online.

Be A Pro: Online Team Play in FIFA
Soccer 08 enables up to five friends on five different consoles to select and
take control of their own individual players on the same team, supported by AI
teammates, to play against up to five rivals playing on five different consoles
of another team. You can choose to play as a single, fixed player the entire
game, with free roaming players, or teams can have a combination of both. Anyway
you choose to play, Be A Pro: Online Team Play challenges you to master the same
disciplines as a real soccer player—from positioning and tackling to reading the
field and passing.
