Pes 2009

pato looks nice there, the gfx look spot on.
 
Experience. You see, we actually play the games before giving our opinions.

But.......you havnt played the new FIFA yet so how do you know FIFA doesnt have amazing faces this year?

Not being a fanboy just pointing that out.
 
Going by Fifa's past faces, I'm not holding out too much hope. PES has always had the better likenesses in my opinion.

You obviously knew what I meant so this post was just pointless.

The same way in which people immediately think that FIFA 09 will be amazing because 08 was better than the usual drivel.
 
OoO PES looks absolute crap from them screens. They're from the PES which is coming out later this year right?
 
We think so.

This is the list of my ideas for PES 09 that I posted on a different forum:

What the ****, here goes with my full list: Note, all this is for the PC version.

1. Scrap the Master League. I'm sick to death of it and it needs to be replaced by a more realistic mode. Ideally, mix this game and PES Management!

2. Many more leagues. Or, failing that, league slots so we can add which leagues we like! All created leagues need to have the ability to be used in the N/M/L (New Master League. That way, our Iranian friend can have the league he wants as well. Everyone is happy)! It should also be possible to say which country each added league belongs to, so we can have proper cup tournaments and not the pathetic excuse we're currently stuck with!

3. Bring back International Challenge. Why was that scrapped from PES 2008?

4. Scrap 'points'. We don't want to spend points, we want to spend money!! In other words: £/$ instead of PES points. So Torres would be £30m, instead of 30,000 points. This idea of points makes the game feel unrealistic and arcadey. Make the management side much more in depth, not to FM 2008 levels, but more than what it is now.

5. Many more stadiums and the ability to create our own & assign them to which team we want. The amount of stadiums that shipped with PC PES 2008 was, in a word, pathetic! I mean, how many of them actually even exist??

6. Do something about the sound! The sound is rubbish! We want proper crowd chants that you can actually hear above the background crowd noise. In fact, watch a match. When all of one team's fans are chanting the same thing, you can't even hear any background crowd noise! The chant reverberates around the stadium. Make it so in PES 09!

The crowd should have some sort of reaction to near misses, or hitting the woodwork!

The ball being kicked doesn't need to sound like a shotgun and neither do we need to be able to hear every single touch! Fifa has this part nailed and the crowd's sound is far better in Fifa as well.

7. Really ramp up the tension in penalty shootouts. At the moment, the time between penalties is too short. Lengthen it, so the commentators actually have time to deliver their lines! At the moment, you can just cut them off. Wait for the whistle before being able to take them.

While on pens, drop that bloody stupid goalkeeper view that's in PES 2008! It's impossible to guess which way to go! Also, enable keeper to move about on his line.

8. Fix the keepers! Right now, they're excellent at 'saving' the ball into their own net.

9. In real life, most defenders can't pick up the ball, run the whole length and score. It shouldn't be so in PES 09 either.

10. Crowd and commentators should react a whole lot more when ball hits the post or gets cleared off the line! At the moment, you don't hear a peep when the ball's cleared off the line.

11. Make many different versions of celebrations for each trophy, so we don't see the same damn thing every single time. Same applies to the cutscene when you're eliminated from a tournament.

12. Including manager's reactions would be good as well. Let's be able to choose what they look like, too.

13. Atmosphere should vary from stadium to stadium. But take note, it's very rare to get a half empty stadium in the Premiership, so why does that happen frequently in PES. As well as that, the sound when the stadium isn't full is awful: AAhhh...Clap clap clap....OOhh....clap..clap clap! What the **** is that supposed to be! Pull your fingers out and get some real bloody samples. If modders can do it, then why can't you? You don't even need to include team's names, just get the damn chants right (and muffle over the team name).

14. Konami....Konami....Konami....Konami....Konami.... BORING! Let's have some different bloody adboards! We've got the message. You made the game, now lets see some different sponsors.

15. Goals: Nets should be white or multi-coloured (not more than two colours) and never grey. The frame of the goal should be white. Not grey.
Make it so.

16. Dynamic lighting, so matches happen at all different times of the day. All Champions League matches take place at night. Take note! Dynamic weather as well, but not so that it changes ten times in one match!

17. Pitches. They should be green, not grey as they sometimes appear! No pitch should look like it's made of corrugated iron, so drop that pitch type. You know the one I mean! Let them vary from country to country and standard to standard.

18. Show the table around your immediate position just before kick-off and show the aggregate score in cup matches, not just the score for that leg. In fact, don't bury the table in the menu! Show it just before you enter each match!

19. This one is from Deflux, so kudos to you, mate. I thought it should go on this list as well, it's an excellent post:

I must say this every year, but still not there…. oh Konami. In master league it would be nice to have the option to manage another team after the season ends. (Do you mean add hiring/firing? Amen to that!!)
EA has already added this to FIFA 08.
Also the sound track really needs an overhaul or have the option to use music already located on the hard drive (PS3, XBOX, and PC)
As for the Licence deal, how about going the route of code masters LMA there is always another way.
One last thing…. please do not remove the boot and kit creation

That's enough for now, I may think of more. Get to it, Konami! You have a lot of work to do. You promised us a complete overhaul, well let's see it!

Some great news for PES 2008. Better late than never, but anyone who hasn't tried this tool, it's great and adds tons to the game:

Juce and Robbie announce that stadium server is coming as well as other features announces in next Kit Server Version!

- kserv: crash fixes, kit selection is now saved in replays, so you can later replay your favourite goals with proper kit selection - as they were when the goal was scored.
- fserv: fixed a bug, when GDB face wasn't showing for a player with scanned face.

New modules:
- time: set match time to any number of minutes you want from 1 to 255. Now possible to play normal 90 minutes. Also, playing a 1 minute match is kinda fun too: you only get one chance to score, and sometimes not even that.
- camera: adjust the viewing angle beyond the value of 9
- stadium: stadium server. Home stadiums map, random stadium selection. Stadium info saved in replays also. Goal nets can be specific to a particular stadium.


For anyone who doesn't know what stadium server is, well it basically allows you to assign an individual stadium to each team (if you can find the right stadium, that is). I loved being able to play PES 6 with unique grounds for each Premiership team, really broke up the mundaneness of the default Konami stadiums. Some of the fan made stadiums are really good as well.

If interested, keep an eye on www.gamingaccess.com for further news.

There's a rumour PES09 is getting the Champions League license.
 
It could be true, but the article that it was featured in, for a game review PlayReview have also claimed that Kaka would be the cover star of the next game, which is wrong as Messi has been confirmed, they also claimed that Konami claimed the Fifa license from EA, something else which is blatent fabrication. It may be possible, and it may be true, but I seriously doubt it.

That's excellent news and is certainly progress! Let's hope it's true.

MasterBlaster76 added 0 Minutes and 45 Seconds later...

Could happen though, look what Codies did to Sony with the F1 licence...
