hmm... I wasn't even thinking about the wii version, but that does look interesting (in a new, confusing but challenging way). I wish the wii had demos! I just may pick this is. It kind of looks like they stuck a little rts into a sports game (looks like it would play even better with mouse and keyboard?).

Is there online play (that actually works)?
Is it in 480p widescreen?

I picked up the wii version - didn't have time to play a lot, but I really REALLY liked the controls. The game looks okay when you're on the pitch, but the cut scenes and celebrations really look like ass. Why hasn't microsoft or sony released a copy of the wii controls for their machines? Then for games like this you could have the option of whatever control scheme you want to try out, plus nice HD graphics & a decent online service...

Played this some more over the weekend. Passing is a joy with the wii controls - really works beautifully. Still haven't tried online

PROPHECY

I know - I hope those rumors pan out!

does anyone have experience using the "patch" files for this? do they work? is it hard? i'd love to get all the real american players in my versh of PES2010

If you're sick of crossing, try cutting inside onto your other foot. Ie if you were shooting left to right, running down the left wing parallel to the penalty area and a defender was keeping up with you, you'd press down. A lot of the time this confuses the defender and you end up with space further into the area to make a short pass or shoot.

i.e. "the Robben"

ie 'why the fuck has nobody shown aaron lennon this', actually.

ps sorry still playing this on PS2 for another couple weeks at least, so no help to you on the patches

Tracer - which version of PES do you have? It's easy on PS3/PC, not so easy on 360... this thread has instructions...

make sure the option file is updated to work with the latest Konami updates.

ok nice, thank you!

btw i tried the whole "run toward the center at a right angle to the touchline" with my winger and it's fucking magic

another huge, huge tip on defense: when you really need to close somebody down, HIT SQUARE. this will double or triple-team the guy with the ball. it's almost like cheating when done right. if done wrong you expose yourself hugely, of course.

i am a bit upset that most of my goals appear, with the benefit of replay, to be due less to me unbridled genius and more to do with woeful defensive lapses by the computer. i really hate to but i might have to switch up to "pro" even though i know i will get housed and everything will stop being enjoyable and i'll go back to regular and just whip crosses in again and again.

Okay I haven't really played, or been interested in, footy computer games for years. But I read this line from the new PES 2017 game:

Adaptive AI – For the first time in a football game, the AI will learn how you play and adapt accordingly

Have footy games really never bothered to even evolve to this level until now ?!
