Konami’s PR representative for Europe has spoke to our friends at PC Action.
In online gaming there are hundreds of components you have to consider. There are too many complicated factors you have to take into account when get involved in online gaming. And we are working hard to get rid of these problems.

Welcome to this weeks Interfering With Play. Again, a lot has gone in the world of football this week, and with so much to talk about, there are bound to be topics that fail to get covered in this column. Any ideas for topics or future articles can be sent directly to my e-mail, which can be found at the bottom of this section. Lets get going.
There’s Nothing Quite Like A McClaren
So, in true England fashion, we manage to blow what seemed like the easy option and make it to Euro 2008. Of course, lets take nothing away from a well-organised and very decent Croatia side that were both tactically and mentally prepared for a match, which had no major bearing on their qualification. Now, like many of you, I sit disappointed with the fact that next summer, I will be watching the cream of the European crop without supporting my home nation there. There was no way McClaren was the right man for the job from day one, and deep down, every England fan knew that. He did not have a proven track record at any level other than assistant to Sir Alex, and was not even given as tougher time by the media as the likes of Hoddle or Sven were. The players may not be as good as the hype makes us believe, but they should be good enough to qualify for tournaments and unfortunately, the buck must stop with the manager. As for the next boss, and with everyone throwing in their opinions, I believe there is only one man for the job. The special one. Jose Mourinho. The man loves the media circus, and can use his press conferences to play both top mind games and install confidence in his players; it is a charisma, which the England manager has really lacked since Kevin Keegan. He is tactically sound and has a proven track record in this country as well as on the continent. I am aware Liverpool and United fans may not love him, but even they must admit his record is pretty staggering, and he is more than qualified for the role. The England team is full of big characters, big egos and big wages, and Jose has a bigger ego than them all. I would like to hear you opinions on who the next boss should be, and what you think about England’s time under McClaren. Comments or e-mails as usual please.
I Need That Patch
So one week later than was expected, the first Pro Evolution Soccer patch arrived on PS3. I am not sure what many people were expecting with this patch, but it was never on the cards that this would change anything other than the game speed, and sort out problems with the lag. A patch released by Konami was always going to concentrate on issues related directly to game play, as that is their department. Changing anything else would both admit the game was not the finished article, and give them less to update in next years version of the title. Things such as untucked shirts; editable boots and even Peter Cech’s headgear are not of any interest to Konami as a developer. Vent your anger if you will, but if you were expecting this, you are looking in the wrong place. Option files and edit data are the places you will find cosmetic changes to the game, and these will 90% have been done using the in game editing tools, not anything extremely radical. As I said before, I have experienced very little lag during offline games, and therefore the patch has so far proved nothing in the way of improving or detracting from that. With this said, I did notice that the replays ran slightly smoother, and that the pitch patterns did look much crisper. I have been unable to test the patched version of the game yet due to work and girlfriend commitments, but will give my take on the experience in next weeks article. I am pretty sure that the patch is now also available on 360; and both can be updated by simply starting the game whilst connected up to the Internet.
Crash, Bang Wallop
Just a quick question to many of you out there, mainly to those using the PS3. I have personally never experienced this situation, but a mate has several times, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. During 2 player games, have you experienced the game freezing on the loading screen at half time? It has only started happening since he downloaded version 2.01 of the Playstation update, but it has happened pretty much every time he has played the game since then. Maybe this new patch will sort out the issue, that remains to be seen, but your take on this problem, especially if any of you have been experiencing it, would be very welcome.
He’s Not Ready
So Seabass has come out and said that PES2009 is going to be a complete rehaul and that Konami were never prepared to be making multi-format, multi generation games. Anyone who has played Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, no matter how much you enjoy the game, could see that the same love and care that has graced recent editions was slightly missing in this version. The games are not bad games at all, but the fact that the game has so many ‘problems’ implies they have tried to keep everyone happy, and ended up disappointing many. The news that PES2009 may actually come out in 2009, as opposed to late 2008 is quite a brave statement to make, and its one that proves just how different Konami and EA Sports really are. EA Sports have an entire section of their company dedicated to making sports titles, and as a result, can improve each year, whilst still being able to work on a bigger picture, whereas Konami has a small section dedicated to their football title and have to try and get by on a year by year basis.
PES and ISS before it never used to be released yearly, and has since had to change to try and compete, which is perfectly understandable. The market is a fierce one and with so few football games available, the need for competition is major. My question is would you rather see a better PES released in 18 months, as opposed to a decent one released in 12 months, and more importantly, what are the major changes you, the PESGaming.com visitors think are the real problems with the series? Yes, we know about the lacklustre Edit Mode, and the ridiculous lag problems some experience, but what other things will turn this game into the Holy Grail, which we all expect. I am leaving this totally open, as I will start discussing things for PES2009 in the New Year, but all opinions will be welcomed.
That’s your lot for this weeks very interactive Interfering With Play. Anything you have read in this column, which you feel require a reaction can be expressed either publicly, via the comment section, or privately, via my e-mail inbox, danbolas@hotmail.com. You are more than welcome to speak to me on msn, but please send an e-mail first, explaining your age and a little about yourself, especially where you got my address from! Also, anyone looking to host an online PES2008 tournament, please get in contact with myself or Peter, as this kind of information is what will help keep the PESGaming.com community strong well into 2008.

The patch for Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 on the PS3 is finally. It should begin downloading immediatley upon booting up your game.
Some opinions on the patch taken from our forum…
“Pffft this is rediculous. Have just played it and it has made absolutely no diference whatsoever.”
“No difference here too, the online lag even seems worse!!!”
“Downloaded it in like 10 mins. Can’t see any difference really”

Pro Evolution Soccer creator Seabass has spoke out about his disapointment with PES 2008, and how he and his team will be going back to the drawing board for PES 2009. In an interview with PSM3 magazine (latest issue #95) he said of PES 2008…
“It’s so far from what we wanted. In fact, we thought about delaying it but different factors meant we had to [release it]. As a developer, we’ve worked the same way since the days of the SNES. We’re simply not set up for multi-platform development”.
Looking ahead to PES 2009 Seabass commented…
“PES 2009 is in development, but after hearing the criticism, we’ll be taking it back to the drawing board. It might not be next year, but it will be soon.”
NOT next year? Konami must be having a laugh. They can’t honestly tell me it’ll take more than a year to correct lag problems, sort out the weak editing mode and add the features longed for by the fans (most of the them very small - Why the hell can’t you do a league any more with a friend?!). The gameplay remains the best available on the market today, that aspect of the game does not need to be started from scratch.

This weeks Interfering With Play will be slightly shorter than usually, due to a number of external factors. In a week which has seen a fictional release date for a much sought after patch and had the Premier League knocking on the PESGaming.com door, there is a lot to cram in, so lets get rolling with Interfering With Play.
Who Needs David Blaine?
So, Mr. McClaren has worked his escape act, and at the time of writing, England are in pole position not only to qualify for Euro 2008, but to do so as winners of their group! What we must remember that as great as it is to see England almost at another major finals, it is because of an incredible Israel performance, and not of anything that England have done that has resulted in this situation. There is no doubt McClaren would have been sent on his way should England have failed to qualify, but the fact that we may now qualify should still make the FA have a long, hard look to see if this is the man who can bring us European Championship success. I know this site is dedicated to football gaming, but I would love to hear the opinion of you, as football fans about whether or not the former Middlesbrough boss is the man to lead England into Euro 2008.
Patches Win Matches
So, the 19th of November came and went, and the rumours of a patch to fix online play turned out to be nothing more than just that, rumours. Of course, PESGaming.com never once mentioned anything about an official release date, or even an interview with a Konami member discussing the patch. It is obviously a work of fiction, something that if someone tells someone else, and a gossip tree occurs. Before you know it, there are ‘official sources’ and an ‘official release date’. Like every PES2008 fan out there, I believe there should be a patch made available by Konami, so sort out the ridiculous level of lag that is occurring online, but at the moment, there is no say as to whether or not there will ever be one. I am also well aware that people will message me asking about when it will be available, or leave comments at the end of this article. The answer is, with no official word on the matter, no one knows if and when a patch will be released. I am sure though, as soon as an official patch comes available, Peter will have news of it here on PESGaming.com!
Ready, Edit, Go!
So following on form lasts weeks Interfering With Play review of PES2008, I would like to spend a few moments discussing the Edit Mode of the game. Editing football games is nothing new. From back on the days of the Spectrum ZX, you could change the names of the players in your team, your teams kit colours and the name of the side itself. I personally remember leaving my Spectrum on for 3 days in a row, in order not to lose my edited teams on Emlyn Hughes’ Pro Soccer, and finally managed to complete my ‘First Division’ season. The early nineties saw arguably one of the most editable football games on the decade, Sensible Soccer. Whilst there is no denying this was one of the greatest football games of its generation, if not of all time, what made it different from some of the other titles on the market was the fact you could edit team names, player names, strip styles and even players hair and skin colours. This meant, for the first time, you could easily make your Sunday League team, with reasonably realistic appearances and kits, even if the graphics were far from realistic. Then, with the Playstation and PS2 arriving on the scene, with memory cards, editing was no longer restricted to the PC. Whilst Nintendo and Sega had tried to include the ability to save teams onto their cartridges, the introduction of MB to save your games meant editing became a whole new world. Features like hair styles, boot colours, gloves, shirt styles and even jewellery could all be customised, meaning your Sensible Soccer team no looked the part, sometimes to the point of scary likenesses.
Pro Evolution Soccer 6 for the PS2 was arguably the pinnacle of console game editing. The editing options were seemingly endless, allowing sponsors to be added to shorts, and even the ability to customise the style and colour of branded boots. Some of the option files created were out of this world, and the credit should go to some of the creators, the time and effort they put in was appreciated by all who used them, even it may have not been expressed.
The editing options on PES2008 are, at best, on a par with those of Sensible Soccer. Whilst yes, players can be edited to a much higher standard, the strip editing leaves a great deal to be desired. Having a meagre 12 different short options is quite frankly not acceptable, and the people responsible for this section of the title should be ashamed. The ability to important images using the PS3-eye, or the X Box Live Cam is no substitute for being able to create your own pixel images and the fact you can only use eight images is defiantly underwhelming. Option file makers in the past have done a fantastic job of making the game as realistic as possible, but to those gamers out there who are expected the same thing this time out, I am sorry to say the tools Konami have provided for PES2008 are far from suitable to do the job. At the time of writing, there is no way of getting real badges or real kits for more than 8 teams on the game, and it seems highly unlikely that this will change for this version of the game.
Online Fraud Protection
All UK based readers are sure to have seen the Barclay card adverts, bragging about the cards top-level online fraud protection. It seems the Premier League may have been taking some advice from their sponsors and following the message sent to Peter Willis this weekend, are banning any option files featuring Premier League teams. The term unbelievable springs to mind. Yes, the FA do have a contract with EA Sports allowing Fifa 2008 to feature all official team names for that seasons version of the game. Konami have a deal that allows them to feature two sides names, which this year are obviously Newcastle and Tottenham, although in the past has featured Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. Konami are therefore sticking by their side of the deal, only including the two sides as their contract allows. The Premier League seems to be fighting a battle here against the consumers for no reason at all. The fact that PES2008 does not have licensed teams is nothing new and the fact that we can edit the game is something that should be our own choice. The Premier League are not losing out on any money here, they still have their deal with EA Sports, and Konami are still only providing their two registered Premier League sides. No one on PESGaming.com is making any money from the Option Files, and sharing files of this nature is perfectly legal, because it is user created, and therefore copyright of the creator. The likenesses, however good they are, will never match those of Fifa, or other Licensed PES2008 teams, so it seems a silly battle.
The Premier League has enough on their plate, with corrupt agents, dodgy refs and the controversy that surrounds the top flight of this countries football seemingly every week. It seems insane that they would spend the time and manpower trying to shut down fan sites for computer games that they have some form of sponsorship within. I am sure they weren’t looking to stop file sharing when Konami were paying to have PES2008 ads popping up all over Premier League stadiums up and down the country. Whether this has something to do with the poor editing mode on PES2008 will no doubt remain to be seen, but I find in a coincidence that a game which usually takes so much pride on its editing features makes so many of them unavailable for the next gen, alongside a footballing superpower trying to shut down those few sites that do offer a more realistic experience. I never mentioned the word conspiracy, but it seems to look that way! Well, I would like to let the Premier League know that I will be editing the game myself, and I will make sure all my Premier League teams have correct names, with as many realistic strips as possible, and I will enjoy using them when playing in my computerised version of the FA Premier League, unofficially of course!
He Fell Over
Just a quick point raised from a couple of comments and e-mails about me praising the new dive feature in PES2008, and how people are saying it should not be allowed. Anyone who has watched football over the past 10 years will know diving is becoming an ever-increasing part of football. Many years ago, sides never used to take quick free kicks, and would always opt to punt the ball long, no matter whereabouts on the pitch. But as football has developed, the quick, short free kick is as common as a throw in or a slide tackle, and as a result, Konami added this feature to PES6, with mixed results. The 2008 version of the quick free kick is much better especially on the next gen consoles. For those of you having trouble, you can only take a quick free kick if the ball hasn’t moved from the place in which the foul was committed. Then simply move your player towards the ball and press pass. People have been struggling because following most tackles the ball rolls away and the computer doesn’t allow the kick to be taken from the wrong place. Again, a feature that will hopefully be improved for 2009. But Konami identified that this was a part of football and brought it in. Diving is exactly the same. Whilst officially there is not one football fan that will agree that diving is good, I am sure that they are delighted when their hero goes over in the box to win their side a penalty. Drogba, Gerrard, Pires, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Owen and even Wayne Rooney (Man United V. Arsenal, the game which stopped Arsenal’s undefeated streak, no contact from Sol Campbell) are all culprits of it, and like it or not, its part of the beautiful game. Ignoring it in a football game is taking away part of the realism of that game, just in a way that blood is an important part of any shooting game, or huge crashes any part of driving games. These are features that are not necessarily the glamorous side of topic in which the game is about, but by adding them, it increases to the realism. 21st Century football features a lot of divers, and to exclude that feature from a game is blinkered.
That’s your lot for this weeks Interfering With Play. As always any comments are more than welcome, either at the bottom of this article or in my e-mail inbox, at danbolas@hotmail.com. Your views on Steve McClaren and England would be greatly appreciated. I apologise to those people I have not got back to yet, due to a very busy week. I will do my best to answer all e-mails before next weeks Interfering With Play.
Thanks For Reading

Some of you seem to be expecting a patch today which will fix the lag issues. Can we just clarify that Konami never officially announced any kind of patch. PESForum.co.uk had posted an interview online a week or so back, in which it was claimed there would be a patch released today. The interview was, as far as I am aware, completely bogus and what was said in it can’t be trusted.
Posted by Peter Willis in PES 2008 News on Fri 16 Nov 2007
The Premier League have sent us pretty much an ultimatum. Stop posting option files with Premier League content or they’ll seek compensation.
Now, as far as I am concerned, we as a website are doing nothing wrong. The files all contain content which can be edited by ANYONE in their game if they so wished. Also, the files are hosted ELSEWHERE and not on our servers. Furthermore, PESGaming does not create the files themselves and other users post them up on the forum. I therefore do not see in what way we (PESGaming.com) are infringing their copyrights.
HOWEVER, I am not in a financial position to pursue any sort of legal action that may come against us. So with that in mind, I have no choice but request that files with Premier League material are not published here… for the time being at least until I can discuss the matter fully with the Premier League directly.
Posted by Dan Bolas in Interfering With Play on Tue 13 Nov 2007
Welcome to the hardest Interfering With Play I will probably ever write, as it this week I will be reviewing PES2008. There are two points I would like to draw to you, the reader’s attention before I actually get down to reviewing the game itself. Firstly, this is the view of Interfering With Play, and this view does not represent the views or opinions of PESGaming.com, Peter Willis or any other pesgaming.com contributor. Secondly, I would like to point out that is very difficult to review a game, which has been an integral part of your life for the past 10 years. Since the year 2000, neutrals and fans of Pro Evolution Soccer alike would have to say that the series is the most realistic football title on the market. I agree with this and even if PES2008 had been the worse game ever, it would have been hard to destroy it in a review. My point is I am a PES fan, so even though I will try to make my review as unbiased as possible, I will still finish the article and go for a quick game on it. So with that, let Interfering With Play commence.
The Review
Not one to rush my opinions of any game, I have held my tongue for nearly a 3 weeks before writing down my review for PES2008. I have allowed the honeymoon period to wear off, the time when the game is new, fresh and exciting. I have also got used to the control system and had time to take the flaws of the game on board. Having checked my game timer, it shows I have played well over 40 hours of gaming, and have played single player competitions and multiplayer both online and offline. With all this said, its hard to say it is anything other than best offering Konami has given us, but it is far from the finished article. There are certain things that are definitive improvements and yet other things that have been needlessly removed. I am going to approach this review covering five sections, followed by the best and worse parts of the game. As with all Interfering With Play, your views are more than welcome, and I will be more than happy to read your own personal reviews either as comments on this site, or in my inbox, with my e-mail address being present at the bottom of this article. The version of the game I am playing is on Playstation 3.
Presentation
The presentation element of PES2008 is one that does follow suit with previous years, in the fact that certain things seem slightly over done or make simple actions unnecessarily complicated. The opening video is a step backwards, again not featuring any in game footage or any real football. Simple things such as recreating real life moments using the game engine rather than having bikini glad cheerleaders dancing around would make a world of sense more. It’s something so simple, yet it seems to be neglected by Konami year in year out. The menus are much more arcade based than previous years, and whilst are not everyone’s cup of tea, I appreciate they have gone for a completely different look which should be acknowledged if not praised. The team selection screen and options menus look especially modern, which again proves Konami have at least tried to change the appearance of the game cosmetically. The in game presentation, whilst still not on a par with Fifa, is constantly improving. The option of quick formation changes on the pause screen, coupled with quicker in game loading and the in game replay system are all improvements over Pes6. It is important to remember that there was a time when Konami wouldn’t let you view replays for anything other than goals, and that now these extra long replays are taken slightly for granted. Yes, they should be included, but it’s important to remember that they are. The highlights packages at half and full time are as slick as ever, but one element of the presentation baffles me slightly. Whilst the rating system is still available, there is no option to view ground covered, completed passes etc. This was a something my mates and me would use as to see who was the hardest worker or best passer when playing on fixed camera mode, and seems odd that they would remove this feature from the game. Master league and league and cup menus have improved presentation, which is something that was long overdue and is a welcome addition. The final problem with presentation is the jerky frame rate experienced on in game replays, making some camera views almost un-watchable. There is no excuse for this and it is something that defiantly needs sorting out for future instalments of PES. The whole point of having replays is to see what you have done well or badly, not to have the frame rate mess up the experience.
Game Modes
Fans of PES will not be particularly surprised with the game modes featured. As usual you have the exhibition mode, allowing you to play as any national or club team on the game in a friendly match. Strangely, it seems they have removed the option of a playing a quick penalty shoot out, although it was a feature that was rarely used, and therefore no great loss. Along with Exhibition, there is League mode, in which you can pit yourself in any one of the 5 European leagues or play a custom one using teams on the game, and cup mode which allows you to play a World Cup, Continental Cup (such as the African Nations or European Championships) or the Konami cup, which can act as a Champions League format or a straight knock out competition. One thing that Konami should be praised for is the ease in which these can be set up and played, be it alone or in a party environment with mates. All options are pretty customisable, and things like Home and Away legs or Accumulated Fatigue make the games more realistic. Again, these things are not new options, but with Konami having a tendency to remove things from their games, it is nice to see these things remain. The game also features an edit mode, which I will pick up on in next weeks Interfering With Play, a training mode where u can play in a pressure free environment or practise set plays, network play, again a feature I will pick upon further on in the article and a gallery. The gallery allows you to view your saved replays and to check out stats on the game such as time played, games won etc. alongside setting you different badges to achieve (for things such as your first 5 Hat Tricks). The strangest feature of all is the option of listening to the games music and customising your own play lists, a thing which PES 2008 should not be proud of. As I have mentioned before the games music is far from acceptable, and as a result, a showcase of it should not be present. The absence of the PES Shop is again unusual, as it gave gamers something to aim towards, although features such as ball trails and dog heads are defiantly not going to be missed too much. The final feature is of course the super impressive Master League, which although may be slightly dated now is still one of the greatest features on a sporting game. Taking a group of no name individuals you work your way up through the leagues, buying better players with the ‘points’ you are awarded for winning games. Whilst the lack of real currency still will annoy many players, most gamers will spend hours building up there dream team, and then pitting them against their mates’ teams. It’s a feature that although has been around for so long, is better the 90% of other game modes on any other game.
Graphics
Konami has taken a great deal of stick for the graphics not being ‘Next gen’ enough for the PS3 or 360, but I am more than pleased with the results. Certain things such as shirts being pulled or players facial expressions changing have been added, and it is really enhances the gaming experience. On two separate occasions I have people approach me whilst playing the game believing it to be a real match on TV, only to see at closer examination it be a game, which I feel is the biggest compliment graphics can be given. Certain players look identical to their real life counterparts (Makelele and Drogba look scarily realistic) and those that don’t look picture perfect still bear some resemblance to who they are meant to be. Overall, the graphics are a huge improvement over the PS2 version of PES6, and as a result, they go down as a success in my book.
Game Play
PES has always prided itself on having the most realistic game play, and as a result the next gen version of the game had a lot to live up to. In all honesty, and after a handful of games, it has to be said that it is the best on market when it comes to game play. Players move like they are actually dribbling the ball, and not like it is an extension of their body. Passing moves are all about angles and the way in which you can create space by drawing defenders with runs. Little deflections now rebound more realistically than ever, and goalkeepers make far more realistic saves, with a powerful shot or cross more likely to be spilled than a lofted one. The diving feature, whilst criticized upon its announcement has been implemented close to perfectly, with timing needing to be spot on in order to win a free kick. Shooting is as good as ever, with players favouring their stronger foot more than ever, with weaker footed strikes resulting in much tamer efforts. New tricks such as the nutmegs and the side steps are realistic and don’t make the game feel too arcade like, a criticism of tricks that other football games have employed in the past and overall the game play feels more ‘real-life’ than ever. This is reflected further in the team vision aspect of the game. Computer controlled teams will now pick up on your strengths and weaknesses throughout the course of the game and adapt as such. This could mean that your star midfielder will find himself being fouled every time he receives the ball, or your tiring full back being double teamed should you fail to sub him. Little things like this make the game that little bit more challenging. There is nothing more annoying that being one nil down, and seeing the opposition bringing down your midfielder in harmless positions, to break the flow of the game. The big problem that many gamers have been experiencing is lag, and slow down during busy moments on the game. For example a crowded penalty box or packed centre midfield. Personally, I have not really struggled with this very much at all, and as a result can’t comment too much on it. I would like to hear from those gamers whose offline experience of PES has suffered from such lag that it has been made unplayable.
Online
The online feature in PES2008 is quite frankly unplayable. The lag is ridiculous, and the game is never free flowing. I have a fast Internet connection and have yet found myself getting frustrated by the exceptionally slow games and the massive skips in the frame rate. Having played a number of games online, a great percentage of which were disconnected, I can only recommend that the game is limited to being played offline by yourself, or having your mates round your house for multiplayer on the same console. Unless Konami release a patch improving the online experience, the game should not be played online.
The Best Bits
I have decided to include my five favourite things about PES2008, features that are either new or are things that make the game so good.
Team Vision
Diving and Shirt Pulling
New Tricks and Turns
The always-impressive passing and shooting system
The option to send your CB’s up for corners
The Worse Bits
I am also going to include the five things, which frustrate me greatly about the game, and hope will be rectified for next years PES
The sub-par edit mode (which will be picked up in next weeks column)
The terrible online lag
The lack of licensed teams
No PES Shop
The lack of ability to play Random Selection Mode (a personal favourite from PES6)
There you have it. My review of PES2008. I am not going to give it a score out of 5 or 10, as there is nothing to compare it too, and therefore ranking the game would be pointless. I am looking forward to hearing your views and reviews about the game, and suggest that you do it in the form of your 5 favourite parts and 5 worse parts of the game. In spite of all the moaning that has gone on about PES2008 on this site, and many others across the web, the overall feedback seems to be highly positive and the poll seeing most people rating it 4 or 5 stars only adds to that fact! As always, any comments or criticism regarding Interfering With Play is more than welcome at danbolas@hotmail.com.
