Simon McDermott:

So you say, that PES2009 for the PS2 is better than PES6 for PS2/PC… Course as I said, PES6 is by far, the best PES game yet, and I think we share that opinion!? Pes2008 and PES2009 for PS3 included!
Does PES2009 for PS2 have the same gameengine, as PES6!?

Well if everyone stopped buying illegal copys the price’s would come down.There is no excuse.Games programmers dont work round the clock so little p*ss ants like you can rip them off.

Reviews are opinions, but I have to pull you up on some conclusions you end up with after describing the features.

Best edit mode ever?
Why?
Because you can upload images?

Well yes, but it still suffers from the old ‘options taken out’ syndrome and you can only paste images limited to a limited area on the front of the shirt.

I prefer the edit mode from PES6 where there were more templates, I could have a logo on the shorts, and I could edit the boots.

Sound is great?
Why?
Because you can upload MP3?

Chants are repetitive and there is only one sound when the ball’s hit. Uploading MP3s doesn’t make other sound issues go away.

GFX are great?

Granted you explain why you think this, but I have to question why you don’t mention poor running animations (unlike you, I can’t see how there are that many unique running animations, if they are unique, they are terrible) and the horrible look of the large shorts. These are superficial graphical elements that need to be mentioned in the context of the look of the game.

Otherwise I enjoyed the PES review and appreciate it.

The FIFA review made me at first want to buy it but as soon as you mentioned the inability to beat the defense with pace, regardless of who the player was, turned me off. I remember playing the FIFA demo and was frustrated when I’d patiently waited and created space for a fast striker to make a break, only for him to seem to tire conveniently for a lummox of a defender to catch up. The variance in attacking options is why I prefer PES.

I have the legal copy of game (bought it when first game out) but I use crack to prevent me from messing up/scratching cd. Anywayz, ’snake’, if u want a crakc for version 1.20 patch its
http://www.megagames.com/cgi/download/download.cgi?action=download&category=cracks&mirror=1&search=PRO.EVOLUTION.SOCCER.2K9.V1.20.ALL.VITALITY.NOCD.ZIP
then copy over the original exe file. This will updateyour file version to 1.20 and NOT 1.00. Use it and it will work.

@82,84,86 & 87 willmo, timber, Scottio and Alex JT22 cheers guys it good to know I’m not the only one.
Alex jt22 Pes 2009 PS2 doesn’t have an online mode, which I was gutted about. I think this maybe because last year Pes 2008 PS2 online was apparently very bad, so they appear to have dumped it altogether.
As a game though it plays better than Pes6, the only down side is that the skill moves are the same as the PS3 version, so 360 spins ect are on the D-pad which doesn’t work as well and leads to players some times pulling off spins that you didn’t instruct them too.
Gameplay is very good, it’s a bit of a shock dropping back down to PS2 graphics again, which don’t look that good, especially if you play it on a HD TV, though your eyes soon adjust after a few games. The pace has been slowed down so its not as fast as Pes6. The goal keepers are good, pulling off some amazing saves at times, the shooting and passing are spot on, there’s a real flow to it all . The ball rebounds realistically of players everything feels alot more softer, smoother, with great after touch on the ball when passing, shooting and especially at corners. They have also got rid of the naff scoring angles that plagued Pes 2008 Ps2 cutting out the diagonal dead cert goal.
As for modes there is no champions league, but it’s no great loss as all champions league is, is normal European championship mode in master league, with some slap chucked on it. Instead of Champions league mode you have world tour mode, that is making a return from Pes 2008, you also have club mix and National mix mode, where you choose four country’s or clubs and the players are mixed together.
As far as playing against your mates is concerned there is the option to add your friends profiles into the game as in Pes 2008 PS2, for head to head record keeping, recording your VS match stats.
Master league is the same as the PS3 version, also there is no option to allocate players to go up for corners in the formation menu screen, however your CB’s go up naturally, so there is no need.
Become a legend is there, though its not that great, you can only play in vertical mode, and instead of a flag there is an off side line across the pitch.
There are 27 stadiums including Anfield & Old Trafford, snow weather condition’s are there as well as a multitude of patterned pitches. Players start in the tunnel in the intro screen to the match and weather conditions are also displayed on the intro screen, plus when cold you can see the breath coming out off the players mouths.
The AI is also very good. When starting master league as Man U, I won the first two games quite convincingly, but then the AI cottons on to your tactics and man marks your players, though this can be got around by assigning different formations to your strategy buttons and switching between them to create space for your players.
Player transfers are more up to date than the PS3 version with Berbatov at UTD, though the DLC will have made the PS3 version more accurate now.
Overall its a good game, best Pes yet! its just a shame it came on the wrong system.

Try buying the game legally you thieving piece of sh*t. Its low life cheap skates like you that force games companys to keep prices high for honest gamers like me.

simon mcdermott is 90% right about the things he is saying (especially the feel of the game and the rigidness of it)and thats a fact. does anyone know if ps2 has online and is it any good as i want pes of old to play online and if it is what modes online has it got. its a shocking state that i have to downgrade to play a better pes game

Passthedutchie , how immature and sad you look swearing and getting angry about another posters opinion. (btw this isnt an english lesson so lay off the you cant spell crap..it makes you look even more pathetic)
Get a grip and grow up a bit beore your next post eh?
Everyone here deserves their opinion as much as the next person so alot of you need to take that on bored before letting your fingers near the keyboard.
Just because someone says something bad about a game (they have purchased ) makes them a FIFA fan boy? …get real
If you go through life getting angry and spitefull because soemone finds faults in what you like then your going to end up very very sad indeed!
Rant over…i fully expect the usual suspects to post alot of rubbish calling me this and that but im sure there is a few out there who know what im talking about!

Simon McDermott =Boring Twat, just ****ing go away and die you lazy work shy piece of ****!

ex pes hubby = ****ing idiot! You have the cheek to call people ignorant, yet you can barely string a sentence together!

“mr McDermott might to much but at least he talks sense unlike other ignorant posters, who couldn’t recognise **** if it was smeared on their face.”

What the **** is that attempt at a sentence supposed to mean? ****ing IDIOT!
