No. No online play? Dammit, I was looking forward to online. But at least there's some good news with the power bar.

Yeah now Players like Pirlo will be more useful
I hated it when you had a player running over but you couldn't get the power you wanted so a Defender always header the ball away
The players that are good at it will make it dip quicker so I very happy about this new addition

what a clinical addition this is.

Wasn't really expecting the online play yet anyway....

the new through pass format should be most welcomed.... another dimension into this fine game..... maybe they should do it to the normal through pass too.... maybe......

They might sort out online play by the time PES4 is released. It's a long shot, but it's a good 2-3 months between releases. At the very least they should have an online option for new teams, hairstyles etc to be downloaded.

They wont have that long between WE8 and PES4. You have to take into account the time needed to produce and ship the game. You'll probably find that WE8 has been finished already.

I'd like the option of a power bar for ground through passes too.
Or maybe make it simpler to do the manual passes.
How about: move the player into position with the left stick, aim the pass with the right stick and add power by holding down triangle?
Could work.

Yeah FIFA did do something very much like that, it wasn't too bad actually, once you got the hang of it it becomes really handy for splitting the oppositions defence, worked really well in 2 player as you could make a run in one direction, shout things like "run you donkey" & "get to the byline" and your mate will think you are gonna try to out sprint him down the line and will concentrate on your player with the ball then you position the other player and make a monkey of your pal with one slide rule pass that leaves his defence in pieces !

Although having said that, it was FIFA, so after a couple of days ( once the online novelty wore off ) I took it back to the shop !!

Bummer that WE8 isn't going to have online play, WE/PES online - does it get any better that that ?!

Online play for XBOX

I don't know what the word is for Europe, but in the USA Winning Eleven International 8 will apparently be online, for XBOX users only, through XBOX Live. Gotta love how us PS2 users have supported the series ever since it was distributed out here, and then we get completely burned by Konami with the online play.

And I agree, a power meter for the L1 through-pass will be the bomb! Watch out goals... here I come!

I was wondering and I would appreciate if anyone can answer my question. I live in the USA, and I want to purchuse Pro Evolution 4 for the XBox which is being released on November 15th in Europe. I was just curious, first can I purchase the european version PES4 i'm referring and if so can I go online in November. Thanks you.

XBOX Online

Well oddly enough, I'm pretty sure I actually read here on PESInsight. Here's the link to Konami's official annoucement about it: http://uk.konami-europe.com/news.do?idNews=34

It also seems I misinterpreted the release; online support for XBOX will be in Europe. I would assume US support will follow though when WE8 is released here - whenever that is.

As for playing it online here in the US: I'm pretty sure you will have to have a "modded" console in order to play a game coded for a region other than your own (read "import"). That's how it is with PS2, and I'm guessing the XBOX works the same way since it's also a DVD based system. Concerning the online side, I have no idea. Technically it is possible, but Microsoft might have a regional restriction in place on who can connect for that (or any) game. I've never used the service, so I have no idea how it works. It seems like a dumb idea to limit connections like that though, IMHO.

Hope this info helps.
