PES 2008 on Xbox 360

[Stef Troll]

Jut played my first game on xbox live on the 360 and lost 2-1.  Not to bad considering ve never played with one of these small jopypads, and am not used to the positions of the new buttons.

Does any1 know what button to press to shoulder barge a player.  At the moment i can only win the ball via slide tackles, but i concede a lot of fouls this way.

Cheers

Played online tonight against STFC Manc, and had some good games (aprt from my headset being fucked !)

I'd say their are currently 2 major flaws in the game however.

One is that certain online players (not stfc manc) have figured out a way of shooting low across the ground from just outside the box, which then makes your goalie fumble the bal when trying to save the shot.  This usually results in an oposing player usually having a chance to tap the ball into the net from one yard out.

The second major major major flaw of the game is that its way to easy to score goals.  All you have to do is get  fast players on the ball, and just simply run at will agaisnt apposing defenders.

STFC Manc played as England, and SWP, Owen and Rooney terrorised all my teams who i played with simply because of their pace.  I played as Germany, and they only had one fella who was really quick.  However when i got him on the ball, only a couple of times did an england player win the ball back fairly from him.  Most the other times he was fouled !  I won 3 penalties with this bloke, and managed to get rio ferdinand sent off twice for england.  Likewise whenever owen or rooney were on the ball, i usually had to foul either player to hault play.

At the moment, i prefer pro evo 5 to this version simply because it encourages more passing in the game.  On the one game tonight where i just kept on getting my fast player onto the ball, i managed to win 4-1.  But after this, i think STFC Manc cottened on to the fact that running with fast players was the way to play the game, and he started easily beating me towards the end.

Hopefully stfc manc will wanna rematch tomorrow.  If so, i will probably be france, as henry, trezuguet and saha's pace should result in me scoring at least 2-3 goals a game.

Ha ha, yeah all the flaws I have found.  Its when you went to three upfront i got beat 4 - 1 then I did the same and it worked.  We had a bit of lag online, however this might be my fault.  I asked my gf to turn of the other computer as it was dling stuff.  Guess what, she didnt!

I will be up for a game some time today.

Still not learnt how to tackle then?

Tbh you can only run through the other team when your playing and that easiest level. Then it becomes harder. It doesn't allocate for a huge amount of passing but you have to pass more on the higher levels.

I've got this game and Fifa 08 and in my opinion Fifa is superior to PES this year, Fifa has really improved, the gameplay is better and it is harder to score than on PES, also the graphics are much better.

The team names on PES are piss poor, on PES 6 they only had the official team name and players for arsenal and man utd, this team round they only have tottenham and newcastle, that is terrible in my opinion and puts me off playing the game alittle.

Good games tonight STFC Manc. Managed to beat me 3-1 in games overall  

Hopefully Konanmi will sort out the internet connection problems though, as i experienced major lag at times in all our games tonight.  I mean when i scored the 3 goals in my only win, rio ferdinand completely missed the ball for you, and one of those occasions i managed to score   That had to be because of the lag.  

Sorry for conceding lots of penalties.  I fair few times through our games one of your players would be in a certain position.  I would then go in for a tackle, and then all of a sudden my screen would freeze for a second, and then the game would go really quick for like 2 seconds to catch up with the action.  Then all of a sudeen your player would have run past my defence unchalleneged and would be 1 on 1 vs my keeper, who would then dive and give away a penalty.!  Still i was chuffed to save all 5 penalties which i gave away    :shock:  

Hopefully Konami will sort out the internet connection problems which people are experiencing otherwise i cant see me playing lots of games online due to the lag issues

But on this one you can edit team names so it doesn't matter. Tbh if you buy a game just because it has the real team names then that's pretty poor. My mate prefers Fifa for this reason as well  :roll:

But the thing is with Pro Evo 7 is that it is much quicker and more realistic. The shooting has been changed for the worse i feel but i think the general pace of the game and the added extras make it better than Fifa again. Fifa has sorted itself out this year but they still haven't touched Pro Evo for gameplay. I still find Fifa dull and boring and cannot bring myself to play it.

Give it a week or two and option files will appear on the net for download. This will sort all the kits, emblems, player names. etc.

Def some good games.  One thing that did make me laugh was in the game u won 3-2 you kept passing the ball about in your back line.  Time waster  The problem was that I nearly scored 3-4 of times.

Yeah you kept fouling me AND I MISSED! AH

The lag in the game you won was stupid, I saw my player run with the ball, then your 1 on 1 with the keeper, i was like what the fuck?

But alls good the ends good. My victory.  Think I am beginning to get used to the game.

Let me give you a game then
