PRO EVO 6

WTF I have to keep going back to play on the two star setting because three stars pummels me.

Release date is 27th of October for us Europeans apparently! That's for XBOX360, XBOX, PC and PS2. The DS and PSP versions will be later.

27th oct.

i wonder if i'll have to queue up at midnight or something for it

I'm thinking about buying it just to look at the box.

i'm leaving work at 6pm sharp.

i saw it at GAME. looks nice! seems smoother than pro evo 5. and prettier. maybe slower though, but i said that about pro evo 5 when it came out and it was all good.

omg ogmo ogm ogmomogmogg

I've read complaints that it just reverts to the pro Evo 4 too easy to run past players thing, and that the goalkeepers are crap and spill shots too easily

The IGN review just says like, nah, the goalkeepers are better, the defences are more intelligent on both sides and the AI actually has some attacking nous

Also the first one was perhaps a review of Winning Eleven from earlier in the year I dunno

I'm quite happy to buy an updated, slightly tightened up version of a game I've already got once a year anyway, I bear Konami so much irrational goodwill at this stage that if they just set up a Paypal account I'd give money to them regularly

but it's easy to run past players yes! there are all kinds of tricks and stuff provided they're the right players

but now it's harder to score because you need decent space to have a fair chance of a good shot.

but it was disappointing that me and my flatmate now regularly get FIFA style scorelines now (like 5-1, 6-2 etc wtf) which can be entertaining in a way but isn't in another in that it takes away the tension somewhat of scoring which used to be notoriously difficult!!

I derived a bizarre satisfaction from the initial furrowed-brow-learning -curve-grim-goalless-draws-away-to-Bolton shit at the beginning of my PES5 tenure, it made me feel like I was on some ascetic monk shit or something.

Not so keen on losing 3-0 to Arsenal because every shot they have flies between my keeper's hands no matter how tame, while they hack me down from behind in the penalty area, IN MAR GROUND, without it even being acknowledged as potentially a tad controversial.

I like the way the ball doesn't quite stick to players so quickly, in the midfield, getting to a 50-50 ball first with a full stretch X pass can be the catalyst for a goal scoring attack.

Also Ronaldinho is fucking unholy in this game...just impossible to stop.

I am still getting the through passes down, they seem to be more responsive to how long you hold the button than before, to do an ambitious one you have to hold it for a good while. The keepers are strange, they seem to save anything from outside the box (particularly the traditional low drive from the 18 yard line that was so effective) and then will just fuck up sporadically.

Hmm. I've been playing what I think is the Japanese equivalent (dunno, it's my mate's and I'm always drunk when I play it) and Ronaldinho is pretty shit. Adriano is an unstoppable killing machine though. You have to roundhouse him to knock him off the ball. Carles Puyol also moves at the speed of a glacier, which although somewhat true to life can be annoying.

WTF have they been smoking at PES headquarters...couldn't stop laughing at this last night....

Does anybody on here still play this game? On PC (screenshots above) it's still pretty incredible & there are tons of mods available (for kits, stadiums, menus, high res graphics and widescreen fixes). They've also come up with some work arounds so you can still play the game online. This site http://www.pes6j.net/forum/ is the way to go. Lots of people on the European and South American servers, but unfortunately (for me) the US servers seem to usually be empty (I've only just set up the online, but have yet to grab a game). I think it's worth setting up and either getting into or getting back into. PC version is basically the same as the PS2 version (not the horrible 360 version), by my reckoning, things like proper widescreen support might make it the definitive version of PES. It's a very fun and balanced game - still more fun than any current generation soccer games. If anybody on here in North America has it set up or gets it set up, let's play some games! I think there are also some worldwide servers, lag would probbaly not be so good, but I'd be willing to try it out.

Mine got scratched so I got newer versions, but yeah it's my favourite football game.

this is proper briliant on the playstation. I racked up a ridiculous amount of time on the xbox with it -because i didn't have a ps2/3- but yeah, this iteration was really night and day. A great version. Scored a few blinders with Nedved.
