Online lag

[Bunford]

Just wondering about something.

Can everyone who's bought PES 2008 actually claim their money back from Konami for this game? The reason I'm asking is because they advertise 'net play' and being able to play online as one of it's main features. However, it is completely unplayable.

Therefore, surely it is false advertising and seemingly tricking people into buying the game when one of it's main features doesn't actually work properly.

If i bought a car from a garage and the stereo wasn't working from the word go, you'd obviously take it back and have them fix it for free. As Konami aren;t 'fixing' it at all, surely the next step is to get a reimbursement for false advertising?

Can you tell the lag is grating on me?

rubbish, just rubbish!!!!

I totally 100% agree, its false advertising saying it has net play when its unplayable online, i never thought id say it but its putting me off pes big time. Im seriously going to push for a refund, then im going to buy fifa.

Ok im pushing it too far with the fifa thing, but i am well peed off that they treat loyal (very pes since years ago) followers like this.

BAGGIE

Agreed. I've been using PES since the ISS days (even though i'm still no good at it, ha!). It seems very disloyal of Konami to treat their loyal fans the way they are.

It seems a particular problem for PS2 fans as there is no 'fix' or patch effort for PS2 whatsoever. There have at least been attempts to fix the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions through patches but even though PS2 is still the most popular version hands down, the PS2 community are seemingly ignored.

Luckily, I have a friend who works at Electronic Arts (EA) so i got a copy of FIFA 08 for free and i gotta say, it much better online than PES due to the lagging!
