OK guys – here’s a weird one for you to mull over. Since the PS3 update and the PES 1.20 update, my PES 2009 has been playing much faster and looks and feels like 2008 version. I have read on lots of forums that many people have expressed similar changes to the game (I myself have posted about this before). There are also lots of you out there who haven’t experienced anything at all.
So fed up and annoyed with the 2009 I went into GAME to get PES 4 for the PS2 to play on my PS3. However I was informed that because of backward compatibility issues I couldn’t. Dejected I settled for a HDMI cable instead (it was in the sale).
Here’s where it get’s weird. I went home and connected the PS3 to the TV with the new HDMI. I popped in PES 2009 and as expected the graphics and clarity were far better than the red, yellow and white connectors. However when I started to play, the game speed had slowed down and it played and felt like 2009 BEFORE the various updates??!! I thought at first that I was obviously imagining it, so played several more games and it was great! It felt back to normal and not like 2008 at all. The ultimate test I thought was to take out the HDMI cable for the original red, yellow and white connector thing. Low and behold – game was much, much faster and was playing like 2008 again. HDMI back in and slower, better 2009 re-appeared...............???
Now I’m not technically minded at all, but wondered if you guys out there that were, could explain?!?! Could the update have been geared towards HD or something? What is the explanation?
