Pro Evolution 2008!

played my uncle a couple times tonight, and it was quite laggy, is it usually bad?
 
Everton, Drew.

You guys should get back to Pes 06 online, i find it so much more enjoyable than the lag fest that is Pes 08 online.
 
Well Madman, my name in game is the_gas. Yes the french are arrogant players, who love their cut backs. But myself and my friend enjoy beating them through skills and direct crossing football. Im online now so feel free to add me, im in french lobby 1 or 2 i think.
 
Sorry to bump this but I belatedly got the game the other day.

I'm actually really enjoying it, the gameplay is fun and the graphics are good too. It feels maybe even more unscripted than last years game and the new diving feature, while every time I've tried it I've been booked, it has been fun to see the AI booked for trying to get a penalty when they were one down in the last 10 minutes.

Only two problems really, online play even with the patch has been very, very laggy for me, still fun somehow but laggy. Also, the ref's pocket is like a toaster, the fact that the majority of tackles from behind get a red card meant I had 3 players sent off in one game earlier.

Still, I think its great, so's Fifa too, so I think we're lucky to have two such great games on the market.
 
At the end of the day, you conceded a 40 yarder from Phil Neville. No amount of excuses can rub away that memory.

Our games were quite laggy last night though, hopefully they'll be better tonight.

I love how we are probably the only players to have had an Atalanta vs FC Utrecht match in the history of PES online.

You got pes yet matt??!
 
Just over halfway through Man utd (me) Vs Arsenal (cpu) survived a massive scare in first half stoppage time where Van Der Sar full srech, knocked it past the pole, a corner for great save from VDS, and it's half time 4 minutes in i stop an attack break away with ferdinand through ball to the just onside Tevez, ducks between one, mudles the keeper up, passes to Rooney who'd just wandered back onside hello 1:0

Great finish - 1-0 survived a scare with a few minutes to put it to tevez, taken off him, belted up to their goal scrambles around VDS fumbles, arsenal hit it, i tackle it, Van Persie gets a powerful shot in, Vidic in the way and clears, brilliant game!

I laughed my ass off when Torres ran into the post! Almunia almost made it all the way amd so did Gallas!
 
Has anyone got this for Wii? Played it on an albeit drink fueled night a couple of days ago, and good lord, it reinvents football games. The manual offside, the passing, the unbelievable controls, the running into space. Everything is so finely tuned its so pleasing and fun to play. The learning curve is mad, so much to learn, but after an hour or so, you link the perfect move together and almost send the numchuck flying through the window in celebration.

Even IGN love it, and they are famously anti-football.

I'm grabbing this tomorrow for Wii, anyone else got it?
