That's not true, sadly. Murphy was talking about importing/exporting created teams, not whole option files. You still have to do it the old way, with the USB stick and copying over loads of files individually. Takes half an hour or so, but it's worth it.

Yes, PES has Wembley, Bernabeu, Camp Nou, Old Trafford, San Siro, Juventus Stadium, Allianz Arena, Estadio De Luz, Dragao, and loads more. Lots of licensed stadiums which look very nice indeed, and some generic ones too. If that's not enough, you can use the Stadium Editor to build a load more...

Agree with most of this, but a couple of bits where I disagree: I'm not sure this is true, you know. Most professional players (certainly a relatively good ball-playing centre back like Ferdinand) can make decent passes over 10, 15 yards. The really skilled passers only come into their own...

No, but there are far fewer fouls in the finished game compared to the demo, so it's not as big an issue.

It's not quite that bad - they do seem to be aware of active / passive offside, because sometimes you'll see that thing that happens a lot in real life, an offside player standing still while an onside player runs from deep to attack the ball. The problem is that the detection of who's supposed...

It's racist because it makes a sweeping, negative assumption about an entire race / nationality based on a small and irrelevant sample. That's racism, mate. If he'd said "Konami can't make football games because PES2008 was shit", that would just be ignorant. Saying "Konami can't make football...

Don't disagree with any of this, which is partly why I don't play FIFA. The fact that deep down it's nothing whatsoever like football is the main reason, mind you. You can't be serious. There's probably a bigger change from 10 to 11 than between any two previous PES games on the same gen...

It's mostly true, but not completely. There are a few good players in the lobbies, and there are also various internet leagues you can join where certain standards are kept up. If you're in the general lobby, the best thing you can do is call your room "no Barca or Real Madrid". That's more...

True, they could be better - as this clip proves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJKqptWHr5c

Would be if either of them worked properly. The trouble with stamina is that it isn't actually affected by how much you run - the levels go down according to the players' stamina stats regardless of how much he moves. This completely defeats the point of having the stat in the first place...

Yeah, you don't need to mod the XBox, just download an option file and it'll have everything you want - proper team names, authentic kits, etc. And yeah, the game already includes the current Nike ball (and the yellow version) as well as a fair few others.

There was one PES, can't remember which one, where in every ML I ever played Gary Neville signed for Liverpool.

Well why didn't you say that before?

This is all true - Barca are no better in terms of the way they behave. At least when Real Madrid poach other clubs' players they hand over sackfuls of cash in return, instead of being cheapskates. Besides, the whole point is that it's the duopoly that's turned La Liga from an awesome contest of...

Considering the kind of politics associated with Real Madrid, it sort of makes sense that a BNP dickhead would like them...

The best formation for a quick counter attack is a 4-3-3, which means you'll be taking advantage of that wonderful overpowered through ball we all love so much, but it's effective at least. For slightly less fast counter-attacking try a 4-3-2-1 and counter down the middle of the pitch. With any...

Good to hear! (Just remembered something else I should have mentioned before: feinting and jinking with the right analogue stick is another great way to win fouls - and indeed to go past defenders. If you don't do much of that, you should, at least with the right players...)

There's never been quite enough curl on shots and long passes in PES. It was pretty much non-existent back in the early PS2 days. But then most computer football games with lots of curl tended to look a bit weird and wrong - I still remember the free kicks on Actua Soccer 3, which used to have...

Be fair though, if you're just learning a game and trying to get to grips with it (for all we know he might still be losing every match, considering he hasn't worked out the shooting yet) you don't usually think "oh I know, I'll put it on the hardest difficulty level, that'll be fun."

In real life, of course, Ramos is an absolutely appalling and utterly brainless defender, as is Marcelo (both are pretty good going forward, but on the rare occasions RM have to defend, they're abysmal), Pepe is nothing that special, and Carvalho is a very effective centre back but gains most of...
