Dont worry buddy, i will enjoy the game greatly, its a fantastic football simulation. The previous PES games were more arcade-simulation, PES 08 is a complete football simulation game. The only thing i can really see missing is the vintage Gerrard free-kick, where the player gets layed off and you shoot, so unless i'm missing something it isnt included, when it really should. Marvelous game though, Konami should be proud, its a real grower.

L1+R1 for the player to lay off, then L1 + X to make the pass then fire away!

The new patch completely obliterates slowdown.

Does it do anything about the retarded keepers?

 

[Briggsey]

Stops lag online aswell apparently

No it doesnt, not completely anyway. Its better, smoother in parts, but lag is still there and is still very anoying in some parts.

Does it do anything about the retarded keepers?

Nope. Conceded 2 stupid goals because of that last night.

So guys, I could always read through the thread, but I'm considering getting the game when I get my PS3, so is it good?

 

[King Pietersen]

Fricking awesome, the patch jus makes it even more playable. Love it, best football game ever. Buy buy buy.

Now that more people seem to be getting patched up, the game runs a heck of a lot smoother online. Still jumps in certain parts and stupid things like a diving save by a keeper who then punches the ball away only for it to be given as a corner occur.

Im enjoying it a lot more online now, still some things need sorting though before the experience can be put to its full potential, the servers for example where you find people to play are ridicliously pathetic and need a complete overhaul.

If your going to get it on PS3 or 360 then I'd say it's worth it. At first you'll think it's nothing special but the gameplay is fluent and slick........blud.

 

[hassan]

all i want is slick and realistic gameplay thats why its awlays PES >>>>> fifa

Guys will PES08 work on Intel GFX card?
Windows Vista?
also is it better then FIFA08, PC version?
does it outplay "Be a pro"?

 

[King Pietersen]

Getting stabbed in the eye with cocktail sticks is better than the PC version of Fifa 08.

 

[Cricketdude]

The PC version is the same as the PS2 version

Well, I'm afraid it wont work on an Intel card Its a GeForce or ATI Radeon only I'm afraid.

FIFA 08 on the PC is quite frankly abysmal, dont even go near the box.

I'm not a fan of the Be a Pro myself, I got bored of it very quickly and found it was easy to simply dribble past everyone and slip it into the net.

The new PES I simply love. The animations are slick, and the weight of the ball means it doesnt ping around as much. There has been some negativity about it, but tbh its like marmite. You either love it or you hate it.
