If you play them on a position they are not used to, they tend to gravitate towards their preferred position, as if unconsciously. That means that if you play Crespo as a defender, you'll often find him making forward runs, and see him joining in in attack more often than usual for a def. That's...

What's the point? Defending yourself from such runs and trying to counterattack isn't my idea of an enjoyable game of PES. Search the forums, there are threads about people searching others who want to play without resorting to such tactics. Their usernames are there.

What the game gets right is the promise of a great sequel, gameplay-wise. While I am one of the proponents that PES 2008 is pretty much a mess, that does not mean it should be thrown away and redone from scratch, as there are clear improvements over the PS2 games, particularly in player movement...

:rolleyes: I don't own a PS3 or a 360, but WTF are you talking about? Everybody knows that? Are you sure? Exactly the problem with this PES. In a month you'll be beating the AI with a 6 goal margin or more on every single damned game. How fun is that? Funny as FIFA 2001! And you can't...

I'm sorry, but again you're teaching us how to play the game, so I see you've missed the point. I used to play as you advise up to PES 6, but PES 2008 makes it more difficult than it should be. I mean, it's 15 effin minutes in the first half, you don't need to send your attackers pressing...

@tr1n1ty: Beg to differ mate, losing 7-1 and still going on all-out-attack is not realistic in your country, in mine or in Beijing. I don't intend the game to be perfect, I think that's clear enough, but the AI really lacks depth. 'Cheating' is necessary because every team plays the same. What's...

A funny thing about this kind of threads is that people defending the game always miss the point. When we complain about AI cheating, at least in my case, it's not that we get beaten every time or that we are sour because we suffered a last minute tie by a crap team. Stop thinking like that...

I think that's an exaggeration, to say the least. Have you fired up your copy of FIFA 2000 or FIFA 2001 recently? Then watch a few videos of them on Youtube, and prepare to be very disgusted. I find that PES 2008 has the gameplay of a PES game, with much more speed and a few unnecessary...

I agree that PES 2008 is in general a let down, but being there so many subtle, really interesting things about FIFA 08 that you could point at as potential "pes-killers", I find it incredibly stupid that someone would choose the Arena as the first and foremost.

You forgot one! Your players saving the opposing defenders some work and effectively shielding themselves from the ball behind them. The best example of this is when you take free kicks in midfield. You'll notice that when the AI is applying that deadly, unrealistic pressure of its, the one and...

@partridr & nikelegends: First thing you should do is check whether your card can actually run the game. ATI Radeon is just the maker and brand, you need to know the specific model and check whether it complies with the minimum requirements. It probably does. Updating your video card drivers...

Ironically, while I dislike your post, dealing with it is all you can do. I mean, in PES 2008, pressing the sprint button makes you feel you're cheating, so if the game is badly coded, what can you do about it? No matter what you name your room, you'll get lames and exploiters every now and...

This site in general is (in most cases) unreasonably anti-FIFA. Right now there is NO footie-sim installed in my PC, but if I owned a next-gen console, I'd be playing FIFA 08 right now. And I've been a PES fan since the PS One days! PES won't "always be better than FIFA" even if it stinks...

Hey there! I used to have a similar problem, plus the game randomly exited to desktop with a "nvidia driver stopped working" error message (Vista x64). Oh, and sometimes, a random game would freeze for around 30 seconds before resuming as if nothnig had happened. HDD activity during these...

For this kind of thing, I have much more faith in Football Manager. Specially if you're going to gamble!!

Only 432? You can sell someone in the negotiation period after the season ends and before the new one begins. If no one wants to buy your players, you can release a couple of your best players (yes, I know). Perhaps you'll get lucky and the amount paid as compensation will be lower than the...

Hmm... interesting. I've been playing PES on PC since PES 3, and PES 2008 is the only game in which I've NOT had the problem of the player 'locked' in a run, without you being able to change direction, pass or shoot in any way. So yeah, it was a common issue for me in PES 3, 4, 5 and 6. Now...

This has been discussed dozens of times in this forum. ML has NO kit selection and NO option to activate it. So you're better off creating your own team and assigning them a purple kit or something. I'm not sure about this, but I think you can only select strips in exhibition mode.

Just keep going. Best I did in the first season was 8th with 2 middle-class reinforcements in mid-season. Had almost as many losses as victories, though, and lots and lots of draws. That was when I first bought the game, perhaps I'd do better now. Don't think so though, cause you can't play in...

If you play the Spanish league, for example, you'll see Barcelona scores 4-6 goals (per match) rather regularly.
