The Retro-PES Corner

I finished season 1 of ML playing one of the worst teams in J.LEAGUE 2, ending the season in 6th place out of 15. It's a pleasant struggle because I don't feel like I'm being cheated by the AI. Buying a Brazilian defender who dominates with his height was crucial to get out of from the bottom 5 (and 3 different formation variants lol).

Halfway through the season, I came up with the idea of recording the different goals I scored and conceded (but i only managed to record a few to be fair lol), mainly from average to nice ones.

Below is a mini montage, the goal ratio between me and the AI is around 50%, I encourage everyone to try this version

Ooh, great game. I remember being club world champion with Sagan Tosu over Arsenal in my ML (idk what's more ironic, Sagan or Arsenal going all the way. Specially the latter one, they had just lost Henry). Be a Legend Mode (FANTASISTA, as it is called in J.League 2007~2010 spin offs) is rather raw, camera felt very invasive in the change of directions, which is very frustrating if you're a CF with low dribbling stats...

Hello, does anybody knows if there is a way to Wii's Pro Evolution Soccer games? It was brought to my attention through this Chroo video:



Apart from the fabric texture that seemed different, the fact that it has licensed boots, a feature PS2 and PSP, my favorite platforms, does not possess. That alone got me just like that Di Caprio gif.

But what got me through the roof is the fact that Robbie Fowler, my personal goat, has got what I consider to be his face yet (He featured until 2010 editions of KONAMI's games and only returned in PES2017~19, that is considering officially and fake name as well).

Looking at these pictures, his the first one looks like someone tried to suck his soul out of him (I think this one first appeared in PES 4), while the last one gets it in the perfect balance of being a limited polygonal representation of his facial traces. Eyes, nose, mouth, skin and jawline are the ones that got me admiring the simplicity and yet beautiful result of this work.

























While for the boots, we have around 15 licensed options, although the model is not exactly perfect model, it is very nice to have these in a game with PS2 graphics...























Well, that's pretty much what I had to say. It would be just perfect to be able to import this face in PS2 games. For now, I'll just enjoy it in a Wii emulator, which turns out to be not that bad, it's possible to play traditionally as well.

There is a lag in corners and free kicks in some games like We8le, We9, We9le with OPL on PS2. Does anyone have a solution?
