I have got the kits and other stuff but dont know how to install them.:mad
 
The only time I get slowdown whatsoever is during replays. Given that I skip replays 99.9% of the time anyway, it isn't a problem. On the lag issue, i'm not bothered. All games lag, fact of life. Using that to criticizes the overall game is a bit unfair. The refs are terrible but at least they are consistently terrible to both teams. Playing the game on Top Player is - I can honestly say - the best experience i've ever had playing a football game. I've never had it with FIFA, i've never had it with This is Football, i've never had it with Adidas Power Soccer, i've never had it with Ronaldo V Football and i've never had it with ISS. Aside from going playing it yourself, nothing comes closer to recreating a game of football than Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. Is there an Edit mode in real life football? No. Can you have replays when you go and play down the park? No.
 
Seesh do all of you like have ugly girlfriends? :p

Just playing ;)

If you dont have an ugly girlfriend then plz tell me how to install these patches.Otherwise i will assume you do have an ugly girlfriend.:p
 
Can you pass it straight to your winger, who runs down the wing unchallenged, then cuts back runs inside, gets close to the goal and cuts it back for a striker for an open goal everytime, in real life ? No. You cant honestly tell me that you are happy to pay £40 for a game that is nothing more than PES 5 with slightly better graphics, marginally better gameplay and worse options ? I like to have a great game, but if the rest of the options are utter tripe then i leave dissapointed. If you own a car that goes 200mph but you are sitting on a cardboard box, have a shocking interior, crap brakes and horrible looks, you wont be happy paying the same price as a Ferrari, even though it's faster and drives slightly better. It's the same with PES and Fifa this year for me, if i was asked to decide which game i would buy, if i had to choose i'd go for Fifa. I've experienced no online lag, it doesnt have massive slowdown issues, it has all the options of it's previous gen consoles and it looks nice. I personally prefer the overall package, something that PES just doesnt deliver this year.
 
If you prefer FIFA, then play FIFA. It's as simple as that.

And I find it unbelievable that you are critisising the wing play and cut bakcs when FIFA allows you to do the same thing!

Again though, If PES is angering you so much then take heed of this advice; Don't play it.
 
As you said, it's only the minor things that are annoying me. The gameplay itself is quite impressive. Also, if i took your advice i'd be critisized by others for not giving the game a full chance. I will keep playing it and maybe i'll gain the same respect for it that you obviously have. Maybe a prolonged Master League campaign would help.
 
Playing Master League with the crappy players on Top Player will help you realise the genius of the game and the grip it has on you.

Even Lee likes it! Lee!!
 
Fifa 07>PES 08>Fifa 08 :p
You played FIFA 08 or PES 08? I can't understand how either could be worse than FIFA 07, as FIFA 08 will have been built initially on the engine of FIFA 07 and then improved and PES 6 was better than FIFA 07, and it will also have been improved on.

Anyway, a theory of mine that I said to Joe on Tuesday.:p Some people have said that diving shouldn't be in the game as it promotes cheating. But, my view is, and I'm sure you all think I'm talking out of my arse and to be fair I probably am, that diving is quite good for the football game, if it is nigh-on impossible to get away with it. I've had this theory from the old This Is Football games. The kids will get a player sent off on the game, therefore think that diving is bad and will stop:p. Like I said, it's probably an absolute rubbish theory, it's just one I had:p.

That's a rubbish theory Phil!

Bad tackles get you sent off in the game. Kids still do that. :p
 
I love diving, had my 2nd successful one today just short of the halfway line. Anyone won a peno yet? I much prefer this game to yesterday or before, it's a real grower however i won't view this supposed major overhaul as the worst thing. I do love it however but am yt to score a cracker, scored a few beautifully worked goals though which is definately one aspect of the game where it's got closer to football than ever.
 
Right, i'm starting to see the positives coming through. I cheered for the first time when scoring a goal. An equaliser as Everton against AIK in the 70th minute, from Yobo from an Arteta free-kick. It was quite realistic actually, after i scored the momentum switched and i had another couple of good chances. My first game on Top Player ended 1-1 though. Not a bad start to the Master League. Annoyed that Yakubu isnt at Everton, it's fricking November, they've had enough time to sort the transfers out. The positives are starting to come through though.

Just got my first penalty diving :D

A long hoof up field in the 89th minute when under the cosh found Dirk Kuyt. His stamina was horrific, but so was the defenders. Sprinting for dear life and screaming bloody murder, I approached the keeper, who slowly advanced. I jinked it past him, and Dirk automatically jumped over. For some reason, I mashed the triggers and Kuyt fell flat on his face. First thought was of course - @*$!, I've just given away the game!

The ref ran over, with me crying over my controller, and to my upmost shock blew his whistle and pointed to the spot. I was even more jubilant when i saw in the replay how id overhit the ball and it had gone out of play!

I slid the ball home with Torres. Success :p

I'm really getting into the game now. Love it.


Oh yes, and if you have the PC version of the game could you PM me please.
