pro evolution soccer 5

is it the same core team? or is it within the larger framework of konami? &c.

: )

I can't get it to work without fully opening up my PS2 to swap in and out the discs

the slide tool doesn't work AT ALL

A bizarre minor internal mishap caused the laser to knacker itself on my PS2 as a result, costing £45, but I reckon I've broken even, and it was a pretty rare thing.

previews are out on pro ev 5 and seems people are still bitching about the "crappy" commentary, music and menu design WTF those are all awesome! and as per what I said on another PES thread the commentary needs to get 'worse' not 'better'!!!

They do the flip top lids on the site i mentioned above .co.uk

: /

I demand the return of the sudden and rare "SHOTOFAMASTER", plus the continued genius of "they'll be cracking open the cigars now"

"yes peter they'll be cracking open the cigars now"

anyway

apparently the new PES is slower and has incorporated a randomness factor into the decision of who wins in 50-50s and where the balls spills to; increased refinement and improvment of the perennial "just hold X to press" problem, which they seem closer to solving with each iteration; new fancy moves; and more difficult than ever before...

OK I'm pretty excited; even had my first office conversation about it today...

beers round mine?

"it's a BIIIIIIIIIG kick"

That was legendary.

plus it unites so many disparate people, each with their own fevered stories of goal-mouth success and weekend PES party excess, and each it seems with a appreciation and I guesss as silly as it sounds also a respect for the game...

except I am the best

PES is the only game I've bothered playing with other people in years. I am also "The Best" at it. Or at least the free kicks.

the commentator can barely believe that something so horrible, so sick could actually happen.

"OH NO!!???!!??! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN GOAL??!!?!!?"

Sort of reminded me of that "John Fashanu" thing on The Day Today.

pro ev 4 seems to have pre-empted real life with players constantly doing the finger over lips "sssh" thing to the crowd, though I don't think "what are you doing you idiot" when someone does it in PES.

hope they've made the lobs more difficult

i'd like the defenders to be a bit more intelligent. surely Konami can rent some AI technology from the pentagon or somewhere.

oh, and i really am the best at PES4. not only can i beat all my friends, but i asked my mum and she said i was.

might be worth a try, that. apparently, the wii doesn't count as stupid boy nonsense- <3 nintendo marketing dept.

I put so many hours into that game. Forgot how annoying the running noise was.

lol forgot about "that was a studs up tackle if ever I saw one!"

"That boy's got a steel skull!"

did you ever play FIFA09 onimo (and are you going to get FIFA10)?

Didn't get FIFA 09. I think the last football game I bought was PES 2008. Definitely getting FIFA 10.

that video confused me a bit, not sure if i ever played that version. i will say though that ISS Pro Evolution on PS1 might be the best game of all time

I get that one mixed up with the ISS Pro that came before the "Evolution" tag. Anyway, one of them is responsible for an OMG That Is Just Beautiful moment of through ball revelation (or evolution...).

yeah you mean like this

treated myself to a copy of ISS pro evolution today... still great. the through balls are beautiful and game is still very smooth

no super cancel tho, and no knocking the ball far in front of you

have you got 2010 then jim? how is it?

played 2010 on the PS3 over the weekend, and it's certainly much closer to the older games than 2009 on the PS2. heartened.

this game is an absolute masterpiece

I was playing ISS pro evolution (ps1) and thinking tht konami kinda hobbled themselves by getting it so perfect right out the gate. thought maybe they shd just re-skin tht game w/modern textures, animations and a database update plus add in the simpler refinements tht later iterations added in. but then I switched to PES5 and altho ISS pro still plays a great game of football it's nowhere near as fluid and deep as that offered by PES5. just the many ways you can take the ball in this sets it head and shoulders above everything thts come since and before. why they removed so much of the intricacies of its first touch system from later iterations iunno

I'm sure I posted this elsewhere

apparently PES2010 wii is amazing?

like the last two were amazing?

not saying they werent but apparently this year's is the apotheosis

just wait till next year! But seriously, I haven't tried 2010 on Wii, but have never been able to get into the pointer controls as much as I thought I would. On the Wii, it's an interesting concept, but I just feel like there's TOO MUCH to control. I honestly think it's a lot more fun just to play with standard joystick controls. Passing is better with the pointer, but everything else is over complicated. The learning curve will break your heart.

I love PES on Wii, but haven't played 201o. 2009 is so good that I haven't bothered with the new one yet - I just haven't seen anything that tells me there is enough of an improvement in 9 months to justify a purchase. I'm not spending $50 for slightly better set pieces.

There is definitely a learning curve but I love controlling my whole team, not just one guy at a time. It's really hard to switch back and hope your AI teammates are in the place you want them as opposed to making them run to receive the perfect cross.

have you got 6, cozen? Been playing it again on live.

I've got it but it's shite?

yeah 5 or before tbh

i might buy 5. I got into football games really late (well I played them when i was a wee guy until International Superstar Soccer Deluxe and then didn't get back into them properly until 6) and 6 is so much better than all the iterations that have followed so my mind tells me it's good.

do people still play 5 on live though? that's the question.

come september, when get broadband i can connect to, i'd buy 5 to play online if that option's even available on 5?

but a ps3 with 2010 is the preferred option

nah, can't hack any of the newer games on the next gen consoles. The Playstation 2 ones seem to be alright though.

Gonna emulate this which iirc is the best one

Anyone any tips or rep for any others?

Downloaded pcsx2 but my lil NUC falls over, can only run at about 35% :(

this was the best football game ever.

i still like 6 tho, even though cozen says it's shite

i remember 4 being the best but 5 also strong. p weird that i am not on this thread at all.

Man, I was all over this thread til I mentioned that work PES tournament. I guess I must have won the tournament, but been far too humble to come and brag about it on here...

5 best I think
2 the great leap forward
6 the one where the master league et my life for years

Prob go back to 6 if it was a choice

PES is good again btw. no need to piss about with the old versions

there is a need for me, in that i only have an xbox 360 ;_;

nobody plays 6 online anymore (as of about 2 years ago), in case you were wondering.

I never did the online tbh

Meself and the brother were an on-prem master league co-operative machine tho

Sad to say halcyon days but Jesus....halcyon days

PES is good again btw. no need to piss about with the old versions

If this is true then all praise u for glad tidings but right now you're John Baptist and I'm gonna need to hear it from Christ himself before I start thinking about the outlay required here

Getting a new home that apparently handles PS2 emulation better than my TV pc

=-O

i have an xbox one as of tonight dis ting is on

oooh the youth team revamp is nice innit

new PES looks good

i got the use of an xbox one and bought 2018 for master league jollies, and at the end of season one all my money disappeared.

i did not react well. havent turned it on since. must go back for another effort

2020 has no idea at all what a foul is, and your defenders frequently casually jog away from through balls while the game refuses to let you switch to them, but I still can't stop playing it

that second flaw has always been a feature

nb i always play as spurs so yknow

Player switching was def better in 5 than it is now

picked up PES 2020 for £6 in the latest PSN sale. enjoying it but sgt biscuits otm - the foul system is pish

some other gripes:

- no idea why they needlessly changed the controls for moves which have been in the series from the year dot

- giving away a free kick outside your box is as bad as giving away a pen
