 FIFA08，最先发布的就是PC平台上的DEMO。在这之前，EA的造势和宣传，让无数FIFA迷对FIFA08充满了期待，因为，在官方的宣传口径中，这是一个“次世代”游戏。

然后，当DEMO到手，开始游戏体验的时候，对所谓的次世代难免心生疑惑，这跟FIFA07的差别不大啊……这就是次世代么？部分网友甚至有被欺骗的感觉，国外一家知名足球游戏论坛有会员直接发出了“Are you a  PC user that feels cheated? ”这样的质疑。

在WSI足球游戏的一项调查中，结果显示有超过七成的玩家对次世代表示了怀疑，认为这仅仅是FIFA07的改进和升级罢了。那么，之前官方那些宣传短片又是怎么回事呢？

EA对此发布官方解释，显得非常勉强。

Will the PC have next-gen gameplay and graphics and if not, why not?

The gameplay engine that we’ve build for the Xbox 360 and PS3 is designed for multi-threaded, multi-core consoles. This is a significantly larger amount of power than even the top-end PCs on the market right now. Unlike many FPS titles that scale through dropping down the graphics detail, most of the power is used for the gameplay to calculate AI, animation, ball physics etc – we can’t drop the number of players!.

We have done tests that show that our new gameplay engine takes up to 34 times the CPU power of the CG gameplay engine. In other words, there are very few PC’s available in the market that could run a next-gen FIFA 08 gameplay engine.

Instead, we’ve focused on innovating and polishing the gameplay on the current-gen engine for FIFA 08 PC. We’ve also improved the graphics and added 8-player LAN this year.

在疑问和不解中，XBOX360版本的DEMO发布了。这时候，一切谜团才得以解开，原来官方大肆宣传的次世代画面，竟然全部都是属于XBOX360版本的，和PC完全无缘！！！

面对这一切，PC玩家除了愤怒，更多的是无奈和失望，EA这种重游戏机轻PC的做法和当年某些日常如出一辙。对此我们不想多说什么，正如国外的网友指出的。“一直以来，是PC玩家在默默支持着EA，无论它的高低起伏，得势失势。然后，今天EA在这场和玩家原本忠诚的“婚姻”中，玩起了自己的小算盘，另有新欢——游戏机平台！！”
