PESGaming
One advantage that FIFA 08 has over PES 2008 is the range of top notch teams that two competitive players are likely to select.
When PES 2008 goes online at the weekend, I predict the Gaming rooms will look something like this
Barca V Barca
Barca V Inter
Inter V Barca
Brazil V Brazil
Newcastle V Barca (Guy got tricked into choosing weaker team)
Barca V Barca
Inter V Barca
Barca V Barca
Brazil V Argentina (there are always romantics out there who opt to buck the trend)
Barca V Inter
Barca V Barca
etc.....you get my drift.
This year, these teams stand so far beyond the rest that it is just bloody silly. I am particularly dissapointed with the way in which the International teams have been given their squads. i.e. If a particular player was injured, out of favour, or had fallen out with manager at a particular point in time, it means that Konami have not included them in the international roster. Such AWOL international stars as Del Piero, Van Nistlerooy, Nesta, Totti, Grosso, Nedved, means that there no viable international alternatives to play against Brazil other than a duplicate Brazil. (I dont care if some of the above have officially 'retired' from the international team (at least till Euro 2008 comes around).
Funny thing is, Brazil on the field as a team are not even all that great. Very beatable at Germany 2006 as France proved.
Very Frustrating
