PES 2009 FULL GAME impressions (including Dundon's from page 5)

[stottmeister]

a bit different when you pass across the park through the RM to CM to CM to LM. like their turning is a bit more mechanical i think. this works tho, i really do like the game.

everyone on here who says it is shit mustn't have given it time. one match, england v bulgaria on professional and i won 5-2. a 30 min match btw. it has all the good bits from the older games imo.

i see what was meant earlier about the corners rarely beating the defenders but i did score one with a neat flick header into the far bottom corner with lamps.

if you dont have it yet or are wondering if it will be that good, take my word for it. IT IS GOOD. real good. i am planning going through the teams methodically correcting the kits as soon as i get chance. i need to sleep now, the midnight launch cock up i had has given me that crack head appearance that only lack of sleep brings.

bring on the pes dreams ahh edit... edit... master league... champions league... become a leg... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

loving the game so far, playing as Inter ATM as im waiting for the WENB option file before starting up with Arsenal.

Already scored some cracking Free Kicks with Chivu lol.

 

[RN50]

Also i feel the keepers are doing much better now than the demo, ive only conceded 3 goals in 22 matches so far and winning most games 2-3 nil which is quite realistic compared to the 7-8-9 nil in 08 lol.

Ive also noticed that the Inter Milan players stats have just gone crazy im ean this year David Suazo (sp) has got around 95-96 for Acceleration and Pace. i mean WFT the couldnt be bothered to update players like Torres, Walcott ect but put this fools stas up.

Only thing i'll say on this game is....



Fucking Excellent.

I must say that i am having quite a few problems with pes 2009, i know they need to try new things but using the right analog for passing is just a no no for me. Normally i just pick up the joypad and away i go, but this is just not fun. The keepers in the demo performed pretty well, but in the full game at times their terrible, you just don't know what they will do next. I could learn to live with those problems, but for me the thing that kills it the most is the online, it's not nearly as bad as pes08 but it's still bad. I still get the odd teleporting of the ball, but mainly it's just laggy. Online is where i play pes most , this is the main reason i bought pes 2009. It's sad to say but i have returned it back to woolworths and exchanged it for well let's just say another football game. I will probably buy pes 2009 again when the price comes down and hopefull online will be a lot better. Just a thing i heard, not sure if its true, but do konami not use servers , i heard something about them using p2p for playing their games online. If so would this affect the way the games run.

pes 2009 played

i have played pes 2009 for 5 hours and its not really that good at all!! there r some improvements over 2008 but in general it fails. maybe a few patches /of/kitserver will make the game better. online is still laggy as hell and in bal mode it crashes!! to sum it up dissapointing but still i wouldnt touch fifa!!

 

[shaun7]

^It can't have some improvement over 08 as it has nothing to do with 08. It feels more like pes 5 and 6 to me.

For me PES 2009 is a huge improvement from last year's version -that wouldn't be hard mind you. I do have a couple of gripes though:-

* Goalkeeping and defending can be downright frustrating (regardless of what your opponent does). One second your players are doing as they are told then next they are running away in the wrong direction, lol. :shocking:

* Online is very laggy. I've had a couple of games that ran perfectly but the majority have been too laggy to enjoy with players and the ball teleporting. Even when my opponent and I have great connections we still get the laggy gameplay. I'm sure this will be fixed at some point (I hope). :erm:

Gripes aside I'm very happy with how the game is in general; BAL is great, offline play, editing mode, graphics etc.

Any one find Ronaldo for Brazil?

Hi all
I live in Istanbul, Pes 2009 hit the shelves here yesterday and got my Copy right away at 19:00 pm yesterday. Without a break I played till 05:00 AM and slept for only 2 hours before coming to Work.. I checked all features of game.. I’ll list u both features that I point out and differences between demo & full release….
(BTW I can be deemed as PES veteran, I’m 28 years old, and from PS1 to PS3 I played all versions of PES and Winning eleven series)
Here are features..

GRAFIX:
Unbelieveably improved:
1- Try to make an exhibition match at AFTERNOON.. Lightings are definetely next-gen.. I sometimes assumed that I’m watching a real match on TV..
2- RAIN: OMG OMG, best rain in all gaming history.. YOu’ll get what I mean.. PLayer reactions, and Ball physics changes entirely due to wet field.. I’m really shocked when I saw…
3- Stadiums are great, especially in-game … If anyone who claims FIFA has beter in-game grafix after playing PES 09 full release ( Try AFTERNOON matches especially) , I call him blind..
4- BALLS Especially ( No:7- demo Claw Ball and NO:9- White Puma ball) feels realistic as never seen before in any soccer game…
5- Nets, Boots all small details seem great..

GAMEPLAY & AI:
OMG, Demo & Full RElease COMPLETELY different… HEre are diffrences.. In Full release;

-AI reactions to the ball tweaked: When a long ball comes from a distance, AI definetely doesn’t know what to do in DEmo.. IN full Game there is no hesitation for AI, no more bouncing no more just looking..
-Opponent AI don’t use LOng through balls behind ur defence line Too much.. Only good passing ability and visionery players can send… IF u compare with the demo .. IT is more & more great in full release
-NO more needless Back-heel passes from your players unless u want them to make… They can use their weak foot instead of making back-heel passes a lot in demo…
-There are a lot foul and falling animations are added when u compare with demo.. I saw a lot new shooting/player falling/passing animations that I’ve never seen in demo ( I did at least 300-400 matches in demo btw)
-Shooting is tweaked: no more floating shots.. I saw great hard strikes Especially to the balls which bounces back from defence..
-GOALKEEPERS are tweaked .. for at least 10 years of PES&WE experience, maybe the best goalkeepers. IN many occasions They can hold the ball instead of parrying..
-Running ANIMATIONS CHANGED : No more PES 2008 style bizzarre running animations.. Even in demo it disturbed me a lot.. I was too happy that they were removed..
-Corners are tweaked..: No more difficulties to SELECLT and clear the ball.. Even Goalkeeper in corners are more sensitive.. By pressing triangle.. they are more strict comes and holds the bal lor punch it out.. But They don’t punch the ball that they can hold.. Thats great improvement..
-HEading animations: HEading is completely diffrenet from the demo version.. You’ll get what I mean as u play the full game.. YOu have the ability to send ball more strictly to the player that you want.. And animations looks great… Even in Full version I didnt see any NO-look jumps and heading with back of head..
-AI defence is great.. They are trying to close gaps as much as possible.. That makes the game even more realistic.. I made many 20-minutes mathces.. And the most goals that I’ve seen was 2-2 ( Atletic Bilbao-Villareal).. I had two 0-0 s ( Genoa-Lecce, Basel-IFK Goteborg)…
-No more one-man teams.. Ronaldo takes it and runs to the byline , no one can take the ball, even touch the ball while he is dribbling in every situation.. THAT is COMPLETELY over..
-Pace differences can be seen.. Ex.. in a position Rossi from Villareal came and pass a Atlethic Bilbao defender by coming 1 meter behind at a long ball.. I really shocked when I saw.. and watched the replay 3-4 times..

ONLINE:
I played two matches.. OMG it is too smooth when u compare to PES2008..

BAL:
I didn’t have to time to look at it yet, as u know the most beatiful food always get eaten at last..

CONS (NEGATIVES)
OK so many people requested me to write CONS too.. here they are what I found..

-lack of camera tilting
-sometimes players tend to head the ball instead of volleying..
-In edit mode, no "short Socks" is avaliable..
-player ratings are inconsistent at the end of matches
-assists with manual passing, is not in assist sheet again..
- diving is again pointless, I always get booked even if I think I was successfull

Conclusion:
Everyone was (PES)ismistic for PES09, as I read from forums.. Everyone had complaints. OK I have to admit I was anxious too, and didnt love the demo ALOT.. Demo was graphically medicore- lil but disturbing errors amid gameplay etc… But when I got the full game, OMG OMG … IT likes a different game not tweaks and improvements only….. The DEMO and THE FINAL BUILDS are completely different.. You’ll see what I mean in 2-3 days at most… I have a lot of Works to do right now everyone asks something right now and I’m trying to POST this..  everyone can wait but PES no.. I only slept 2 hours but I’m confident, I’m happy within.. I’ll think of going back to home and playing PES tonight..
I’m sure many of u that swears KONAMI , will regret in many cases when u try the final game. I can see the forthcoming apologize mails to Seabass and Konami in these forums.. But people are always PESimistic as I said they can find somehing to complain about 
IGn gave the game a 8.5 , At first I thought that this is a good score, but after playing the final game.. no it worths more…

YOU ALL WILL GET WHAT I MEAN in 2 days..

P.S: PLease don’t hesitate to ask anything that u wanna learn.. AS much as I can find timw from my work today, I’ll check and try to write back as much as possible..

Ohh my god I forgot to add something.. I tried CHANTS yesterday.. That was awesome.. My favorite team is Besiktas.. I found many chants of my team in mp3. format.. Then I merged it and formed a big MP3 file.. and imported it to the game.. It was 9 min. Mp3.. and it was great in the match.. Atmoshpere was awesome.. I conceeded a goal while I was amazed of chants beuty...

HOW TO MERGE MP3 FILES to a single MP3 FILE:
-windows start menu
- RUN
-write cmd and go to DOS mode..
- put merge requested mp3 files to C: and name them as 1 , 2 , 3
- then in dos mode (c:\) write copy/b 1.mp3+2.mp3+3.mp3+4.mp3 FINAL.MP3 ...
- it is finished.. go and listen to FINAL.mp3.. all merged.. you can merge any files in same format (mp3/mpeg etc..)

LMAO what version wer you playin
graphics better than fifa???? c'mon fella thats a load of crap, ther nothing more than shiny ps2, thers not one hi def texture in the game.
as for the stadiums better than fifa!! one thing even the most die hard pes fan will agree on is fifa has always had the better graphics.

AVOID!!!!

 

[Fox89]

^ LOL At your fanboyism!

BTW is anyone else having the same online troubles I am on the PS3 version? Out of 10 attempts I've only managed to complete 1 match, which was lagtacular and my players were unresponsive as hell. Heven when dribbling the ball kept teleporting just behind me! My internet connection isn't THAT bad as I know COD4 and various other games play online just fine, but this is even worse than PES 2008 for me so far!

Is anyone else having this problem? or am I just unlucky with my connection? I love the game as a whole, but was really looking forward tio playing some online leagues this time around.

lmao fella
i'll tell you now i'm pro evo thru and thru been a die hard since the snes days, always hated fifas arcadey approach and basically been a graphics showpiece for EA
what i'm basically saying is that for someone to say pro evos graphics are better than fifas is a joke, they are in no way next gen.
look at the delta force grass!!
i know the games not all about graphics, its pro evos gameplay thats kept its streets ahead of fifa.....except this year unfortunatley :crymore:

 

[Fox89]

My bad. I may have been thrown off by the blatent..."wrongness" of what you said. FIFA is shiner when playing, certainly. But the player models in PES are MUCH better than FIFA, as well as having superior weather effects.

So no, PES doesn't look better across the board, but it is better in some areas and certainly not PS2 graphics. Neither football game can be called "truly next-gen" in my opinion though.
