I specifically brought a XBox 360 to play pro evo online, after 7-8 years of being an avid fan of the PS2 version I got bored of playing the master league etc... I didn’t know much about lag online until I brought an XBox last month and played PES10.
In total I must have played about 30-40 matches online and 90% of the matches were button delay & lagging.. Sometimes the lagging was that bad the games I played against my opponents were unplayable. I didn’t buy PES 2010 for the master league, I purchased it specifically for online play only and for that purpose it does not do its job.
I put my copy on e bay last week and got £25 for it and brought fifa 09 for £4 which I have played online about 30 times, my winning percentage is not great (W5 L19 !!) but the game plays lag free which for a casual player like myself is I want, a football game that I can play online
Im not a PES/FIFA fan boy. just a guy that wants to experience the fun of third generation online play and sadly pes2010 doesn’t do its job. It would be the same issue for me if Forza online was wack (which it isn’t), I would just buy another car game like Grand Turismo or need for Speed.
Konami can count themselves very fortunate that they have a massive fan base and that there only football competitor is EA so its only ever going to be a two horse race
Its about time Konami raised their game and get this issue sorted out. I think a good percentage of pro evo players would rather have a virtually lag free version next year than updated graphics etc that
I for one won’t be rushing to purchase PES 2011, I’ll take heed and rent it first before giving them my had earned cash
Thanks for reading
