simple answer is they don't gave a damn about improving the shitty ML!!

I go to martins every morning to get my fruit (im healthy me) and to check which mags are out, there is a new xbox mag (forget which one) which was released today (i think didnt see it there y'day says sep2007 issue) which says it has a new comparison with fifa 08 which could prove fruitful if anyone wants to buy it

I'd love to see that - was just in WHSmiths and didn't see any mag like that. Would have bought it if I had, that's the kind of article I'm looking for. Lots of journalists who've had their hands on FIFA 08 say the gameplay is amazing - that was a month or two ago though, and there was no PES2008 about, so I'd love to see how they compare at this stage.

Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 07/30/07)

Summary of Preview:

* New and Improved commentary
* Better passing and first touch
* A lot of new animations
* Easier free kicks
* Community - new game mode that lets you track stats, cups and leagues for you and your friends while playing each other.
* World Tour - new game mode with mission based matches against random teams. Win without running offside against Morocco. Defend a lead against Costa Rica. Etc.
* New, lousy music in the menus.
* No improvements of Master League at all as far as I could tell without being able to save in this version of the game.

I'm really loving the sound of it, especially having to accomplish missions during matches. The possibilities here are huge!

I have a few ideas already coming to mind.

How about they put all the various head-adornments, like sharks heads, dogs heads, etc in a pile on the side of the pitch at the half-way line. The aim of the match is to have your goalkeeper run up and put one on, and run back to his goal. During the match, he has to have tried on all the hats and had them on for at least 5 minutes whilst in position in his 18 yard box.

There's obviously more chance of you conceeding goals when he's up at half-way fetching the next hat, but more seriously, if you reach full-time and he's not yet tried tham all on, even if you're winning 5-0, you forfeit the game.

Obviously, that's just one quick example of what we could be looking at here. Konami will doubtless come up with loads of ideas even better than that.

This game is gonna rock.

It means Takasuka – completely exhausted, he doesn’t have any ideas – how to improve gameplay.
 
Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 07/30/07)

sorry chaps but the nets look awaful - exactly the same as the 360 nets, with these fkin breeze blocks!!!!! apologies to those who dont care about the nets but what are they thinking?!!!
 
Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 07/30/07)

the nets do look awful but this isnt the final version so they might sort them shitty nets and breeze blocks out lol.
 
Re: WE/PES 2008 Next Gen - Discussions Thread (Last Update 07/30/07)

I've mentioned the nets about three times so far and had my head bitten off each time.

The nets have been the same in every single screenshot we've seen so I have little reason to believe they will be improved. What's the betting every stadium has exactly the same red and white net with breeze blocks and what on earth is that graphic for the bit that holds the net back? It looks like someone has drawn a weird shape in Microsoft Paint.

Thanks for the pics TG but man the crowd needs to be blurred i mean it isn't a realistic sight. Deco at the corner flag is blurred out while the crowd is clear as hell. The fact that the crowd is looking in the wrong way and only have the main color of the of their team makes it even more necesary. This isn't some hard graphical detail to do i guess. I think this would give the game a better atmosphere and realism but thats probably because i'm a bit of a graphicswhore when i see a game for the first time.

Probably related to graphic driver issues or something, that's a PC screen.

By the way that article is PS2 Winston not next gen 360/PC/PS3 version im sure you know that right. :)

I should think Konami concentrating on next gen version more tbh. :)

So the opening paragraph around 'defenders biting at heels' thing. Maybe this is my opinion, but other than Owen Hargreaves and Gattuso, there are very few players who consistently chase midfielders around in circles when they're at the half way line. Most teams defend by playing zonal defence and blocking lanes. What's always pissed me off about PES is that there are many times each game you'll take ap layer had literally have 3 opposition players magneticalyl stuck to him trying to pull him back.

So what do they do this year? Make it worse?!!!
Hopefully it's referring to the Terry/Ferdinand ability of reaching around players receiving teh ball and poking it away. Of course if you're playing the CPU, it'll poke right back to them, but still, I guess that's an improvement.

So teh bottom line of PES2008 on PS2 is that it's PES6.000001b, with fun story/mission mode. I want if your players level up...
