Yeah, as you can see from my comment above I liked what I saw

Oops replied without looking at page 2

Well I hope the game play has improved as graphically it doesn't look a whole lot different to last years 360 version.

And I thought I was bad, watching whoever these two guys were has given me hope yet! and talk about dodgy referring decisions, that penalty was terrible.

[cheese]

Right, as someone who is about to go and buy the 360 rather than PS3 due to the online features, can anyone tell me what online play is like on PES? I heard that people who play online prefer it to the Master League, which usually keeps me addicted for about 10 months! But what speed broadband would I need to make it worthwhile?

Wow, haven't posted for years, just noticed the Andy cole Sig at the bottom of my post!

I got a 2mb connection at home and it works fine. Online is great, especially when playing with friends. I play it online via my PS3 and had not problems. Online on the PS3 is free whereas youy got to pay for it on the 360 but have to day that at the moment Xbox LIVE is better because of the added extras of downloads etc.

Well, as was pointed out earlier, you don't actually have to pay for xbox live if you are willing to change your gamertag every month. Just create a new gamertag and enjoy the free month.

[eddiewac]

Although, ps3s r getting cheaper again, £375 for 2 controllers, 2 blu ray dvds and 2 games, and the console of course, tempting....but not enough just yet

[bellamy11]

I'd give it a few more months and it should really come down. £375 for that deal doesn't seem that bad as it is, and it'll only get better.

[frosty]

Will it come out for PS2 as well? It better had do

[eddiewac]

Yeah, i think it might even be coming out on the Wii

eddie is this true??

[Eddie]

Absolutely. I suppose they might catch onto you eventually, but then they wouldn't really be able to prove that different people hadn't opened the accounts.

PS3 Version of PES 2008 feeling smoother than Xbox 360

Gamespy is posting that the PS3 version of PES 2008 feels a 'little more fluid' on the PS3 console. However at Leipzig, After experiencing both versions they claim that they are much more impressed by what Konami has managed to 'squeeze out of the PS3's hardware' with the Xbox 360 merely building decently on last year's version.

Below is a video which demonstrates the new AI system. First of all the AI is much, much better than previous versions, it will make the game harder (as you can see on the video) also a friend of mine played it at the game conference in Germany and he reports that he started the game attacking down the wings, the AI adjusted it's tactics to cope with this!!:

Good, there was nothing worse than those boring players that did the same thing over and over again. This should mean that the game dosent become predictable.

I cant wait

[Cocker]

Have also just read that you will be able to dive in the new game

Dont know if this is good or bad - they used to have it in this is football but it wasnt very good.

Indeed, it was rubbish. You never ever got a free kick and obviously always lost possession.

Ah, the problem there is that this refers to player Vs AI therefore the 1 player game. If you couldn't cope with players down the wing before, you probably still won't be able to.

True, but the rest of the bods on your team should move into a position so that you are nearer to block them when you take control of the man - shouldnt they

[Eddie]

I think they need to bring back the ability to kick the keeper.

If nothing else, I'll be able to make myself laugh with the dive.

Friggen hell, that looks awful - With all the money Ronaldo gets paid you think he would be able to afford a bit of hair gel wouldnt you

I saw that in MCV today, my main concern is the licencing for the English teams it looks like its spuds and Newcastle

[Guest Kamy100]

At the bottom of this article is an excellent video of PES2008, it also shows new cut scenes for subs and the new penalty saving mechanism:

[Seggie]

The Pen saving thing looks quite cool although Id be interested to see how it would be when its in two players on the same machine. Must say for next gen that clip looks very PS2 in parts although these films tend to suck the quality out of the graphics.
