try the skill moves only if u are really good at it, coz most of the times it does not come off.. i suggest u play a passing game.. dont just try to run long distances with the ball like in fifa 07.. fifa 08 is more like pro evolution soccer.. it emphasizes more on ur passing game rather than 1 player carrying the ball.. also, try the numpad keys for better attack.. press numpad 5 2 times for attack and numpad 2 fpr placing men inside oppositions box.. u could also try numpad 6 for wing attack.. these settings make ur passing game a bit easier.. but i still emphasize, play a PASSING GAME.. and 1 final thing, when inside the penalty box, finish with the key combination: Q + D, stands for "placed shot" and this wil make ur shots more accurate..
