yes there seems to be a lot of nonsense flying about saying people are deliberately downloading stuff to slowdown the connection to cheat - i am running a 6mb connection with absolutely nothing else except pro ev and still in every game get 3000+ lag whenever the ball is in play, it is completely unplayable. it's not because of downloading or other things hogging the connection, its clear that Konami's servers are totally woeful or something in the programming of the game means it doesn't work with certain connections. be interesting to know what ISPs people are on who have bad lag, because I am on talktalk and I know they have limited p2p stuff which could in theory affect a game particularly if it is programmed to work as 1v1. who knows. shite though, as pes6 worked fine.
