View Full Version : Diving in Pro Evo?!
Just read that diving might be included in PES2008.... Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but any news at the minute is good for me!!
Ivory Coast & Ghana being fully licensed is a must though. I hated being Ghana online it just doesn't feel the same with the wrong names!

They should make all international teams licsensed.. I hope the diving thing has an on/off switch on the general settings so you decide if you want diving or not
i wouldn't mind diving as long it would be very difficult to execute and easily punishable if done wrong which would make most people shy away from doing it

I can think of much bigger musts.
Would be good to include diving, although I wouldn't use it much. Just in multiplayer against mates.
Wasn't there diving in another footy game? I forget what it was called, but they handled it quite well. The game wasn't great, but the diving didn't really spoil it.
Hand-balls should return too. They were annoying as hell in PES3 but it's even more annoying when a player scores in the 90th minute with the help of his hand.

This is Football 2002?
i thought hand balls were in it. i just assumed it was hand ball when the ref gave a free for no apparent reason

I think i'm right in saying they had diving in a fifa game years ago, it was something like L1 & R2 together to dive. It only worked once every so often but was fun against yer mates!
I've had handballs in PES6, they're just uber rare & not half as annoying the "only attacking team gets penalised" handballs of PES 3.
Its about time they had some real refs too me thinks
i heard you will be able to have seizures in it aswell :huh:

A wall moving option would be cool.

Yeah spot on. The German mag reckons its a 3 button combo which, if all are the face buttons (square,circle/A,B etc), then it would be fairly tricky to do unless you are quite deformed. It would certainly need some premeditation just like the real thing.

Hand balls are definetely in PES6, I'm quite often penalised to be honest. Possibly once every five-ten games when playing my friends on Xbox Live. The most frustrating one was recently, as I crossed it in, my striker lept for an overhead kick and instead of kicking it, he merely decided to slap the ball to the ground. I remember the commentator mentioning a handball once also, months ago mind, but it's how I came to find out they were in the game.
The diving will only work if there is more than 1 animation for falling down, to be honest.

Well it could be true as the diving aspect relates to the person on the front cover :)
i hope your not talking about c.ronaldo

it was on Fifa 98 or 99 aswell *dodges projectile missiles thrown at him*
it didnt work half the time and it look blatantly obvious.
if so will it be a star rating ability

I can remember the diving on those old Fifa games, I can't ever remember winning a freekick from one though.
It should be a decent addition i think! Something different isnt it :) I remember doing it for fun on TIF but i almost always got caught out! :(

worked once for me but i was in my own half so pointless really.
i wouldn't like to see diving in pro, i mean those bird kits etc. there was no point in that i assume know one uses those kits

yer all the TIF had the diving which was pretty cool being 1-0 down and in the 90th min then dived to get a pen or what ever was pretty cool indeed. and yes does fit the star on the front lol who trains in a swimming pool so it seems lol

I wouldn't mind diving too much, but as Kernels12 said, there should be an option on general settings to turn it on or off

i agree it would be a more realistic addition. but i think they should only limit it to certain players, or like editing a player could be a setting to get you player to have the ability to do it.

Fifa 99.
i reckon if done right it would be good.but TIF was a pap game so whenever i played i just constantly dived,hopefully pes has more depth.even when i was clean through id run straight at the keeper and dive over him.they also only had 1 animation for it tho.
thats what i like about pes they make the moves take a littel bit of effort,like with the roulette and flick,on fifa you usually just randomly turn the stick and alsorts happens
I just read that it's going to be hard to do, and nearly every time you do it, it's a yellow card. It's going to be a 3 button combo apparently .
tink it's pretty cool cause it's moving towards realistism.. so when can we push referee like di canio? i rem the ref dived after that push!
now, this is will be jokes if you win a tournament doing this. oh me and my friends pro evo tournaments are gonna become even funnier.

realism isnt always the best way forward,look at pes5 its main point of realism was the fact the ref blew the whistle every 10sec and broke the flow of the game,man that was annoying

Haribo said that he'd use it against mates, which would be a laugh. It should hopefully be an option on the screen where you set the time so as you can knock it off in Online matches, because you know that some people will perfect it.

lol yer mate sounds fun i host online leagues and if diving come in lol god knows.
i think that to make it more realistic if the people in real life who dive should have better chances of getting away with it, C.ronaldo, Garcia, Martins etc so they have like better dives or more chaance of getting away with it.

i just cant wait till the next installment 3months!!!
Heard the combo for diving will be!
LB and RB (held together) + the direction your gonna dive in.
sounds interesting haha

I guess that would allow some element of 'wrong' diving. If you dive the complete opposite way to where a challenge is coming from, you'll get a booking and if you get it right, down you go and the freekick is yours. Just don't dive in and they can't get the freekick (I hope).
I can't imagine how you can dive backwards tho.

where did you read this on the internet if so send a link please

One of the previews says its a combo of LB+RB+LT. That would probably be quite easy to pull off. Hmm...I have doubts.
Don't think it'd be easy at all! you'd have to concentrate on the buttons aswell as timing it right, tough stuff ;) haha
Psimonius
26-07-2007, 16:36
I meant the manner of physically pressing the combo correctly will be easy enough. Doing it right in-game is a different matter hopefully.

Hmm Im on the fence with this.
Its part of the game now so im thinking well to be more realistic maybe it should be in, but I can just see this being VERY annoying online..
But if when you dive and a freekick is not given, the diver ALWAYS get booked then that might stop it happening 20 times a game.
To chip in with my opinion on the diving thing. I played This is football 2004, which featured the dive option my pressing R2. This didn't work as L1, L2 and R! could all executie trick moves so an accidental slip or the press of a wrong button usually resulted in a yellow card. I did win a crucial penalty against a mate by cutting across his run and diving.
Yes, there would need to be several dive animations, yes there would need to be punishments for executing a poor dive. Many times thou on Pro Evo, when players go shoulder and shoulder, and you lose possestion, you sometimes feel ur player shouls have "gone down" to win a Free kick. Maybe a comination of buttons in the situation would result in realtisc looking dives. The same with when your knocked off balance, i.e when running at spend and avoid an opponents challege, you can opt to try and carry on your run or go down, giving a real dilema in certain situations for example a late rush into the penalty area, or when u round the GK!
Maybe a similar soprt of thing to the Square then X feint, use a quick trainge then circle to go down.
Refs should penalise thou if they feel the foul is unjust, but i believe iof they are going in include it, it should be on every game. No turning the feature off.
ive always wanted diving on evo and finally there gonna do it! i look forward to it! :D
