The controls are not exactly the same which buggers me from time to time. Shot power etc is so different it will take me awhile to adjust. Just got beat off some loser as the lag was killing the game, I literally couldn't do anything. He of course took full advantage. It seems okay when I host the games but when I join a game it is crap. By the way you are clearly the best player I have come across as yet. If I could only sort out the control issue I would smash these people! Though I have beaten most of them with relative ease. I really need to get involved in a league.

Last kick winners are the best.

Got smashed off a couple of blokes last night. One of them was a good player but I am under no illusions when I say I would have beat him with relative ease on the PS2 version. The game is faster and the controls are little off if not weird but I really don't know why I am struggling. It may just be the little things; I can't change the camera angle to Wide when online, the passing lacks a certain slickness, the forwards power through defenders too easily.... Maybe I will address these problems in time but not until I sort out my game pad. What pads do you use? I use my PS2 pad which is fine in most games but seems slightly ineffective in this game, with the power of passes, shots, freekicks etc being quite difficult to control.

It still kicks the ass of FIFA.

seems your full of excuses.

The lag when you're a client is generally the killer of a game. Most people get it to some extent, even if all it is is a sluggish response in the controls. You're connection the other day was near perfect, it has to be said, which is cool. Some connections make it like playing in treacle. After a bottle of whisky. Hopefully, PES5 will have these issues sorted out, but I doubt it tbh.

To change to wide camera online - you have to do it beforehand (because Konami don't know how to program a PC game). So, go into singleplayer match mode, select all the options you want (sound, camera, screen), quit the game and save to the option file, and then online they should be how you want them.

The power bar... has issues online. Sometimes it fills up too fast, sometimes too slow, sometimes it doesn't even come up.

I use a PS2 pad with a USB converter. Some say these are slower than some of the imitation PS2 pads that just connect straight to the PC, but I don't like them. They just don't feel right, dammit!

If you get a place in our league (highly possible, since we've got a couple of problems with no-shows this season already, and we're only 2 weeks in), wait till you play a couple of the guys in there. Wow. Sebbe usually pans me (when I client against him, I usually don't even get a shot in). I got relegated to the 1st division last season, but it's cool It's more my level.

In our league, you play each team twice - once as host, once as client, so any whuppings you get as client, you get the chance for payback as host Though my league luck is so bad I usually lose those too...

Still need revenge for the other day... a couple of cracking games there with late winners

Calis

can you put your ps2 control onto the PC though an adapter?

Green

Yeah, a USB adapter. You can get them from most places for about £5.

People say the Play.com one is good. Mine's a SuperBox 3 - can't remember where I got it from though. I've no complaints with mine.

I sometimes can't access F10 to chat, which of course is a problem if there are play issues. I persevered with serious lag the other day just so I would not be viewed as a quitter.

Calsi I make no excuses. I can hold my own against most people, which is good as I am brand new to the game.

didnt you say that? and not from someone who is new to the game

Lacedaemonian

New to the PC version.

That was merely bravado, though I know that I would rank very highly on the PS2 version as I have beaten people from all over the country and from around Europe with ease. Given time I (hope) believe that will become a force on this version. Anyway all the excuses I have made are recognised flaws in the game. It is normal for PES players to look for flaws in new or updated versions, as Konami always seem to leave flaws in the game.

Do you play Calis? I really want to smash you at this game now.

felt like chatting up FIFA and the fact they never include Senegal in their games.

I like FIFA Street though, its good.
I do like soccer games, I just dont have the patience to play a whole season let alone doing it over and over.
I like Soccer Management games.

Lacedaemonian

Football mangement games are very addictive. FIFA is for kids.

Read a review of FIFA Street. Apparently it's like the game version of that Nike advert from the world cup.

The mag thought this was a good idea. I didn't.

Calis

bah, its a good game.
