[PS2 & PSP] Winter '09 Update -- N. American PES 2008 OF

[connoll3]

Contents:

- Substantial overhaul of rosters. Many players added to fill out squads and vast majority of January 2009 transfers completed.

- Player ages pushed forward a year, to bring them up to date.

- Lower-cased all player names.

- Names of clubs, players, stadiums, leagues, & cups -- all 100% correct.

- Fully edited national team kits (with emblem and manufacturer), including new Russia and Argentina kits.

- Full Bundesliga created in 'Other Leagues C.'

- 4 other clubs added:

* CSKA Moscow replaces Bayern Munich (moved to League C)
* Shakhtar Donetsk replaces HJK Helsinki
* Boca Juniors replaces PES United
* Zenit St. Petersburg replaces WE United

- All EPL (except Newcastle) and Bundesliga kits updated for 08-09. GKs included.

- Other kits updated for 08-09: Marseille, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, CSKA Moscow, Zenit St. Petersburg, & Shakhtar Donetsk.

- Added promoted 08-09 clubs for EPL (Hull, Stoke, & WBA) and Bundesliga (M'gladbach, Hoffenheim, & Köln). Rest of leagues retain default PES 2008 clubs (for the most part, the relegated 08-09 teams in these leagues have been ignored in this update).

- Replaced/overwrote classic national teams with U-23 teams.

- No retired, classic, or duplicate players on file.

- Many stats and appearances edited.

- Boot slots tweaked, mostly to account for colors.

- All PES Shop items unlocked.


Notes:

- This option file is compatible ONLY with the NTSC version of PES2008; it won't work with NTSC-J or PAL versions.

- Big thanks to pategato & red-town. This file started from the beta of their PES 2008 file (http://www.pesgaming.com/showthread.php?t=61372).

- Despite all the editing, rosters are a work in progress. Smaller and less famous clubs (e.g., Scandinavian, Dutch, & Eastern European) still could use more work.

- I'm a bit tired of editing at the moment, but if there's enthusiasm, I might continue tinkering with the file and release an update or two in the future. We'll see.

- Feedback, critiques, recommendations, etc. are welcome.

I'd be happy to offer a ps3 conversion, but I don't have the hardware to do so. If someone else makes the effort and posts it here, I'll update the first post with an appropriate link. Same thing goes for a psp conversion, which pategato hopefully will get around to when he has a chance.

PSP (forthcoming...when someone does a conversion)

Connoll3 ,


Thank you for taking your time on the option files. Hopefully someone will do the conversion to a PSP option file. Too bad you weren't able to add teams from the MLS, USL-1 or the Mexican League. With the Concacaf Champions league down to 8 teams it would've been nice adding those 8 teams at least.

Keep me posted on the release of the PSP file..


Thanks..

[abdul_12]

when is the psp one going 2 come

[connoll3]

when is the psp one going 2 come
Hopefully soon. I've PM'd pategato about it. I'm sure when he gets around to it, he'll post the conversion. Meantime, if somebody else with the capacity to do the conversion wants to post it, please be my guest.

Too bad you weren't able to add teams from the MLS, USL-1 or the Mexican League. With the Concacaf Champions league down to 8 teams it would've been nice adding those 8 teams at least.
I have no intention of adding CONCACAF teams to the file. My preference is to keep the file Eurocentric, since if you take it into ML you can reasonably emulate domestic and continental competitions (UEFA Cup & CL).

I know there are PES 6/WEPES 2007 option files floating around with MLS and USL-1 teams updated for 2008. The last Mexican league file for PES on PS2 that I've seen was updated as of 2007, although I might have missed a more recent version. I have the MLS/USL-1 file handy, so I can direct you to it if you're interested. Coincidentally, I'm working on updating the MLS teams on that file to get them up to date for the new season.

This version you speak of , is it a PSP version ? Everyone makes option files with Euro teams & leagues but wouldn't it be better to add a few team from this side of the continent under Independent teams ? With the leagues of this continent just starting again it would add to the extension of the playablilty of PES 2008 . Just an idea..

[amazins71]

Crickets chirping !!! When is the new option file out for the PSP ?

[amazins71]

Great job Connoll, will make you that PSP file tomorrow!


Any news on the new Option File (PES 2008) for the PSP (08-09 Season). Also can you add the PR Islanders as one of the teams?

Pategato,

Thanks for everything .. You have been more than helpful. Are you working on the option file for the PSP version of PES 2009? Is there a big difference between PES 2008 & 2009 worth purchasing the 2009 one.

I own PES2009 for PS3 only.
For what I've read, PES2009 is inferior to PES2008 on PSP, so PES2009 is not worth getting if you own PES2008.

The link is not working now . Could someone please reupload it somewhere else . Many thanks!

[rody2004]

The links for download are not working.

[profane]

No more updates for ps2? :(

[connoll3]

The [psp d/l] link is not working now . Could someone please reupload it somewhere else . Many thanks!

The links for download are not working.

Sorry for not paying much attention to this thread, and thus the severely lagged response time.

Regarding the above:

1. I don't have a psp conversion handy, so cannot re-upload a d/l link for that version.

2. I can, if there's still interest, re-upload the original file/s from February.

3. I was not planning on doing a comprehensive update for the 09-10 season, but have tinkered a little bit with the file so that I have a version that's more closely up-to-date with transfers and a few kits. It's far from a polished version. But if there's interest in that, I can post it, too.

Lemme know.

[profane]

If you happen to have some sorta beta file ready, then post it for sure!. I don't know how many other ppl around still play pes 2008 for ps2 but I'll def. give it a shot!!!

[connoll3]

This is not even of beta file quality, but nonetheless:

http://www.4shared.com/file/127963908/ffec359b/PES_2008_-_August_2009.html

Haphazardly updated as of August. Includes some 09-10 kits and many of the Summer 09 transfers, but changes are far from comprehensive. Hardly any new players created, either.

If anybody wants to run with this and update it further, be my guest.

I also put up a working d/l for the original Winter file (~February) in the first post.

Both files are .max. If somebody needs/wants conversions to other versions, let me know and I'll try to accommodate you.

[profane]

Hey man, thanks a lot eh

I will give this a go, updated transactions and roster moves... sweet!

[ovara]

Is there any way to convert this file to PAL-version?

[connoll3]

Is there any way to convert this file to PAL-version?
No, unfortunately it's not possible to do PAL-NTSC conversions for PES 2008, unlike with, say, PES6.

[ovara]

No, unfortunately it's not possible to do PAL-NTSC conversions for PES 2008, unlike with, say, PES6.

Well, is there any possibilities to convert .bin to .max? I did convert PAL file to NTSC, but file format changed :(

edit. that didn´t work

I'm interested. Will this be a PSP copy? Since I heard that PES 09 was terrible , I decided to stick with PES 08 and updated as much as I can.

Thanks

[connoll3]

I'm interested. Will this be a PSP copy?

I don't have the ability to offer a psp version, sorry. And as I said above, I'm not planning on doing anything further with the file at this time.

[connoll3]

Ok, so I misspoke earlier and decided to do a little more editing. Sue me. :)

This file is a little bit better updated than the one I posted in August. Not perfect, but a definite improvement:

http://www.4shared.com/file/132639103/aeb44f53/PES2008_-_Sept_14_2009.html

I've sorted out a large majority of the summer transfers and added a good portion of the new players for these clubs:

* All 09-10 EPL (relegated teams mostly ignored).
* France: Bordeaux, Lyon, Lille, Marseille, PSG, Monaco.
* Italy: Fiorentina, Genoa, Inter, AC Milan, Lazio, Juve, Napoli, Roma, Sampdoria.
* Dutch: Ajax, AZ, PSV.
* Spain: Barca, Deportivo, Espanyol, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia, Villarreal.
* German: Bayern, Bayer Lev., Hamburg, Hertha, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Wrdr. Bremen, Schalke.
* Others: Shakhtar, Dyn. Kiev, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, Porto, Benfica, Sporting, Zenit, Celtic, Rangers.

I paid scant attention to those clubs not mentioned above. Also, I updated a few more kits for 09-10.

Enjoy, if you're so inclined.

Great thing i always check back, thanks once again!

Having some trouble with the download link tho! maybe its just me?

How about players ratings, did you tinker with those at all? or

[connoll3]

Yeah, a little bit, but in a haphazard way. I basically changed stats if I ran across players in the midst of editing who I felt were over/underrated. I mostly used pesstatsdatabase.com as a reference.

Also, glad you got the d/l to work properly.

Wow, what a site! this is insane lol well done... great reference, i ask because i did notice a few players were stronger then in the last update...

[profane]

Oh btw, Benfica is "my team" was that tweaked? i can go in and up it if not... they are playing some kick ass soccer this season, i hope they win the league! but with all things given, its still very early on lol

All three Portuguese teams got an overhaul, mostly because, as is typical each year, they have substantial player turnover in the Summer.

In terms of stats, I updated a few Benfica players - Luizao, D. Luiz, Sidnei, Coentrao, and a couple more I can't recall at the moment. As for incoming players, I think I created all of them except for Cesar Peixoto & Weldon. If you wanted to create those two on your own, I think you'd then have a pretty comprehensive update.

I still play with PES 08 (PSP) and I wanted some advice on how I can create my own Emblem and logo (on the shirts) for my own team kits. I know you guys use the PS2 , but I have a PS3 and/or a PC (if there is another way thru there). The team I'm trying to create is the PR Islanders, so if you have any advice it's greatly appreciated even thou I know you have move on to other Soccer games.
