you can still use the ordinary crosses (O, Ox2, Ox3) by holding down L1 then pressing... this just gives you a nice other option, which is great for actually picking out players rather than relying on the randomness of the auto-cross

anyone down for some action if I get it going?

I think it's supposed to be easy enough to set up if you have a broadband connection already.

You can rewind time in the free training/practice match mode.
So for example if your cross gets cleared by a defender you rewind to the appropriate point and instead put a high cross into the back post. This point in time becomes 'bookmarked' so you can very easily rewind over and over experiment with all the different crosses - each time with the striker and defenders in the same position so you can judge the variations properly.
Similarly you are through on goal and blast your shot over - rewind and instead try an R2 side foot shot - rewind and try to chip the keeper.
You lose the ball - rewind until you have posession back.
Wonderful.
By the way you have to press R2 AFTER pressing the shoot button to do a side foot shot.Posted by Tom on October 27, 2005 11:37 AM.Offensive? Unsuitable? Report this comment.
I had a little fiddle about with this feature a long time ago in PES4 but had completely forgotten about it... if I remember correctly it's kinda fiddly but v. useful for creating 'test conditions' where you can try difft. approaches over and over in the one situation

I would possibly have felt a bit more outraged if I didn't play as Villa all the time.

During an earlier 3-2 league victory over Chelsea in which John Terry scored an own goal, I found myself setting the replay camera to follow his unpleasant smug face, that I might watch the exact moment when realisation dawned that he had turned the ball hilariously into his own net. You know, like Ralph Wiggum's heart bursting.

I picked this (PS2) game up a few weeks ago for a fiver. I've never played any Pro Evolution games before, and I'm finding it very difficult. I scored my first goal yesterday, after realising that you can't just hammer balls at the goal at hope for the best, as was the case with the last football game I played which was probably FIFA 95 on the Megadrive. But the main difficulty I'm finding with the game is actually getting the ball off the other team. The possession in my last game was something like 58%-42% in the other team's favour. The just pass the ball between themselves, my players actually seem to be running away from the ball. Pretty much every sliding tackle results in a foul.
So basically my problem is this: how do I intercept passed balls, and if one of my players is next to an opposing player with the ball, how do I get it off him?
Any other advice is gratefully received!

This thread died off pretty quick after the game actually came out. Did everybody just decide 4 was actually better, or what happened?
― Jeff LeVine, Saturday, 26 September 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
probably better than 4 in retrospect, didn't like it as much at the time
― cozwn, Saturday, 26 September 2009 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
haha, just read my old posts, OK seems I did like it at the time; I don't remember liking it as much

Cozwn - I also remember you posting this less than a year ago...
my all-time top 10:1. PES2 (PS1)2. PES4 (PS2)3. SWOS4. PES5
1. PES2 (PS1)2. PES4 (PS2)3. SWOS4. PES5
I've been playing both 4 & 5 back to back this weekend (on PC) and feel like they both hold up quite well. 5 does seems a little slicker and the commentary seems a little more varied, but I think you can still play 4 online, while 5 has no more online as it depended on Konami servers(?). The quality of graphics on both is quite nice and the gameplay feels well balanced - though I'm no expert. Sometimes I think we discard these older games far too fast.
― Jeff LeVine, Sunday, 27 September 2009 01:09 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd definitely revise that list to take out PES5 and replace it w/FIFA 09. it's in no particular order, either. FIFA10 looks already (from the demo) to be a ton better than 09 so you could probably already confidently just slot that in there in its stead.

watching some videos of PES2 (PS1) on youtube, I forgot how comical the sound effects were; it's incredible how much smoother looking the gameplay is compared to the current PES build:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAppC0H8BBcwe used to play loads of this game even long after PES had moved onto 4 and 5

can i get a decent new football game on PS2, does anybody know?

PES2009 is probably alright isn't it? wdn't touch FIFA on PS2 w/yours
― cozwn, Monday, 28 September 2009 14:48 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean, PES2010 (assuming it's being released on PS2)
PES 2009 I have, and I have grave concerns about paying money for a sequel, assuming they will use the same game design, or indeed employees.

hate the xbox controller. feel that 28 is too old to be buying a new console for myself. no broadband.

buy a ps3 then u ninny and then you can also easily justify it to your 28 yo self/sig other as a 'media hub'/blu ray machine not a 'console' . blu rays are sold in tesco now. plus u don't need broadband u maddie but why don't u have broadband anyway? are you posting from 2001?
