Nothing to see here! Move along people!

[Zygalski]

I'm still think I'm not important enough to have a thread of my own.

Hi, I'm Zygalski and I like to play PES/WE games a lot. But I seem to be helping out others with info on the game instead of playing these days. Not that I mind. But it's slightly annoying to have to explain about slide card etc for the 15 gazillionth time as people don't read the sticky threads.

I'm looking forward for a fully translated English version of WE7 so I can fully enjoy the game.

I can beat Rebus at PES2 so I think I deserve a little R.E.S.T.E.C.P. for that.

Email me at [email protected] but don't send me spam or forwards or I VILL KILL YOU!
Try not to PM me if possible as I am slow to delete them and people usually get blocked from sending them to me. Emailing me is a better option.

Oh yeah - If I give anyone some answers to anything, there's no need to thank me - imagine that I would say "no worries mate".
Probably half of my posts are me saying "no worries" as I feel I have to reply if thanked so not to be rude.

I guess I think of myself as a kind of Clark Kent character - helping others but not seeking any glory.

Bring on the forum 'dream team league' so pesinsight can kick some ass and win!

I'm new here so don't be too nasty to me.

Well said Zyg. By the way, what's a slide card?

 

[elliottume]

Congras Zy on your 3000th post, crikey that is a lot. Do you wish you ever weren't a moderator to see how far the rankings go?

 

[Zygalski]

Shit! I never realised it was so many.
I don't worry about the ranking, rebus can keep track of that and let us all know.
Won't you Reb mate?

 

[rebusrahman]

Might do! And you may be able to beat me but at least I can spell respect!!!

 

[Zygalski]

Huh! I learneded it off of da Ali G, innit?

 

[rebusrahman]

What? How to beat me at PES?

 

[Zygalski]

Nah, 2 spel.

 

[rebusrahman]

I know silly! I was joking!

I swear I posted this story before but I can't find it anywhere so I'm posting it here. Hopefully it'll stay put this time! A short story playing PES2 in a shop.....

November 2002

I was in Piccadilly Circus (center of London) with my gf on a Saturday and we went into HMV to see what new games they had. I noticed that PES2 was being played over at the far wall so I went to check it out.
There was this guy in his late 20s or early 30s playing as Holland against a younger boy who could have been about 12 and playing with England. They were using a broadcast camera view and the older guy was toying around trying to be flash (and possibly trying to show off to the kid's older sister). The match finished 4-2 and the kid looked a little upset as he wondered off. Seemed like it was winner stays on.
Since there was no-one else eager to play against this 'master' I took the second controller.
He asked me if I was good and I replied that I was OK, as you do....

He picked Nigeria and I went for Brazil. As is normal in a shop, there was no memory card to fix anything in the game so I was playing with Roberto Larcos and Ravoldi etc. It was a ten minute match and I believe it was set to random player form although for some reason I decided to play with the default Brazil line-up & formation. I didn't even check the player form, which is strange for me.

The camera was agreed to be set to wide and we started the match. He barely started when I stole the ball and passed it around a bit. After a short while, the ball came to Rivaldo just outside the area. Left foot shot - into the top right corner, in off the post.
"WAS THAT A GOAL??!!" he cried (I'm not sure what his tone implied).
"Err, looks like it went in", I replied. I showed him the replay just so he could be sure.

The match continued. The closest he came to my goal was about 35m from where he took a couple of blatantly high and wide shots very much off target and no threat to anyone except some of the cardboard fans sitting further up the stands. He knew how to do the shot fake but doing it near the halfway line isn't too impressive.

I passed it around, some good dribbling from Roberto Carlos down the left
wing, cross to Ronaldo, header - goal.
(My gf started to smile and to stop laughing she wondered off )
Ronaldinho, through ball, Ronaldo goal.
Rivaldo, bang, there's another one.

"But you're good, innit?!" he said. I shrugged my shoulders and kept playing without saying anything.
Cafu cross, Ronaldo back heads it to Ronaldinho to tap in. The Brazilians were having a good day. Ronaldo scored another header from a corner. Went close with a couple of free kicks after some very dodgy fouls but not close enough.

Final Score: Brazil 7-0 Nigeria.

He looked kinda gutted as turned to leave.
I said "Good game" and he replied "yeah, it is a good game".
A couple of guys wanted to play me but unfortunately I had to leave.

I don't feel bad about beating him because he thought he was such a man by
beating a child, which he only just managed. Quite a good performance
considering I didn't fix the formation, team or strategies like I am used to
doing. I would have liked to check out the match stats and how the player
form actually was but I didn't think of it at the time and the chance
passed. Oh well.

Another time when I was there I played a real match against an Oriental dude who knew how to play properly and it was a good challenge. He was Italy and I went for Brazil again (I'm not sure why since my best team at that time was England). He had the better chances but I won it 2-1.

OK, this post better not vanish again or I'll send my sig (the Hulk one, not the Britney one ) to go look for it.

hehe, well done zyg, gave that goof an ass whippin

 

[stevieboy]

Hehe, nice story.
I've played a few mates, 1 of which is a Fifa devotee. It's a bit unfair, as I play about an hour a day on average...
They always try to dribble far too much. You can just pass it around, couple of R2 dribble techninques & they're left saying "pfffff! Fifa's better".

Yeah, ok.

 

[BazHilder]

Nice story, when the PES3 demo was in game last year this bloke thought he 'da bomb' and he promptly lost 3-0 and sulked off rather sheepishly after that! That's the trouble with those in-game arcades is that everyone can see you!

 

[ashmufc]

Nice story, but why this thread?

 

[Zygalski]

becuase it's not worth a thread of it's own and there is no stories section.

Coming soon.... Zyg Vs Ash!
(Get practicing!)
