PES 2010 online ?

[preet27]

ok i have been a long time fan of PES, and i loved PES 06, but last two years i had to change to FIFA, which was ofcourse better, now i'm in a dilemma this time around although both games are good but the most annoying part of PES is that it puts conditions on your internet connection, i have played lots of online games and have never once suffered online lag and mine is a very poor connection with a speed of 512KBps and also using a wifi since it is not feasible to have my PC my TV and my PS3 cluttered at one place, so what i am asking from you is this:

Should I buy this game coz looks like they messed up the online part again, i mean how hard can it be, never had lag in any of other games that i have played online and Konami doesn't deserve to be treated differently, and before u go on to say about getting a good connection, dude i live in INDIA and it's very costly to get a good connection here, i would have to shell out around 150 - 200$ per month to get a connection with a speed of 2Mbps, and i saw people having connections of the speed of 20Mbps having problems online, so understand my problem, and to add to it i have never had any lag on any other game using my connection, it just happens with PES, i have played uncharted 2, NBA live 2010, GTA5 prologue, COD4, Killzone 2 and so many more.

any good suggestions esp. those who have owned the game and have good connections using wireless? Should i just stay with FIFA and not waste my money on this coz online is a huge part for me, mostly i play online...

Well i can only talk from what i have experienced i have played 10 or so games online and 8 of them have been perfect, the others my opponent had a horrible connection and it cause button delay, no lag though.

They seemed to have proved online mode, it is a big part for me also so im hooping it stays this way or even improves.

I would recommend the game to anyone fullstop, as i think it is absolutley brilliant this year, but thats my opinion.

 

[preet27]

thanks for replying can u tell what kind of connection do u have? and whether u playing it wifi or thorugh an ethernet cable ?

 

[Mr Darkstar]

If you mean my internet set up at home, i actually dont know...

i could find out at come point, all i knwo is that i am always on green when i am making and joing games online....its not a great connection though, it is a standard package deal connection with phone and tv also.

 

[preet27]

ok Thanks!! r u playing it on PS3 or XBOX360?

 

[Mr Darkstar]

Playstation 3, i own both but because of how easy it is to use option files i play on ps3.

 

[preet27]

From what i have been hearing from everywhere there is a considerable online lag in the online version of the game if u are using a Wireless connection to conect with your console, even if the connection was 20 Mbps there was still lag, when using a wireless connection.

However, the game runs smooth online if u are using an ethernet cable, anybody else who can give an insight into this which is going to be the deciding factor of me buying this game or not, plz do mention what type of connection u are using

Just played my first match online (3-0 loss...boo) on 360 with an ethernet wired connection and I got absolutely no lag at all!

Pes online is back!

 

[preet27]

andy what's the speed of your connection?

 

[shaun7]

The speed of the connection and game lag in online are different things.
In most games I play (call of duty 5 for example) it depends on my connection and the host's connection. so I expect the same thing with pes.

 

[preet27]

Well shaun according to the reviews i have looked all over the internet no matter how good your connection is if u are using wireless then it is bound to be laggy, that is what i have found out at other forums including PESFan, there are guys who had 20Mbps but still lagged when he was using wireless and there was a guy who was using dial up but using ethernet cable and his game did not lag at all, so when it comes to PES2010 it's a different ball game together, that's why i am asking.

 

[shaun7]

^I am using wireless and COD5 is laggy aswell for me. Wireless on ps3 = lag on most games. I do not get lag everytime, but it happens.

 

[red]

the choice is simple really, clutter or lag, you choose

 

[aj178]

don't even compare COD5 lag to pes 2010 lag, i remember last year in this forums how people were complaining on pes 2009 online and its happening again this year, all the games I played so far are laggy and i also think that latency indicator is not accurate cuz i tried to play with a friend who is couple hundred meters away from me his connection showed as red while my connection was red on his side although the game had less lag than distant games. I still thinking PES 2007 was better in terms of online

 

[ostry76]

Is it me or you got this same problem guys.Playing online I noticed when u press cross or shot then is delay.I play online using cable and speed is 5mb.Anybody has got this same problem?

 

[preet27]

Well that's the story of PES for the last 4 years, it's not like wifi is an upcoming technology it has been there for so many years but they still can't figure it out, it's not just me but anyone who has tried PES on wireless has been telling the same old story, laggy games which are unplayable, and this covers all type of connections, i mean if a guy who has 20Mbps connections or a 15Mbps connection says that the game is laggy wireless then there is just simply something very wrong with this game, coz even with my shity 512Kbps connection i have never ever experienced lags on any of the games i have played from resistance2 to uncharted 2, COD4, GTA5prologue and so many more, i just don't get it what is the problem with KONAMI, gameplay wise FIFA is no way near PES but the online part just SUCKS it just really SUCKS because that is the future of gaming and this games future is in perils right now if they don't sort this out, i don't know even if they did srt it out this time which is highly unlikely it might be just too late. FIFA is already 2 counts in on PES ( 2008 and 2009), this might just be the nail in the coffin coz i definitely am not buying this game if this issue doesn't get sorted out.

Plz anyone else having the same problems with PES 2010 playing through wireless, please comment and also leave some info on the connection u are using. Thanks!!

im on a 20meg connection (ethernet cable connected) the game for me is just unplayable online, button lag is the main thing, passes do not happen when they should, basically anything you do has a slight delay, which is a massive difference in a footie game, i will stick to the offline play, which is the main reason i bought the game, get a few mates around & play it with no issues at all, konami online is hopeless.

 

[preet27]

that's really pathetic on KONAMI's part, if a guy with a 20Mbps cannot play then who will, i mean this is just ridiculous, 4 years, seriously 4 Years and haven't got the online part right, what are they trying to do, hoping for jesus to interfere. i am just appalled at this. WOW

 

[ronaldinho-10]

I absolutely agree. I'm on a 8Mb connection with wireless (PS3) and I have yet to experience a lag free online match (I've played about 15 games!) The main problem for me is the button response time - I regularly have a delay of about 2 secs from when I press a button to the action on screen. This is incredibly frustrating and online is unplayable for me. I know that I have no problem with my connection as every other game I play is fine. I've recently been playing the MAG Beta, connecting with 127 other players in a match and no lag whatsoever! I think it's an absolute disgrace that Konami have not addressed this issue for 3 years now. Luckily for me I love the offline game. If I didn't, I wouldn't hesitate to sell my copy of PES2010..

 

[preet27]

Thanks all for replying, i mean if a guy with a connection above 1Mbps cannot play online games then it is just disgusting on KONAMI's part considering that the file that is shared between the two ends is less than a few Kb's, it's not like the whole game is being transmitted online, i haven't had any problem with other games but when it comes to KONAMI they are just pathetic to say the least, ifeel bad for u guys for having such good connections and still not able to get whta KONAMI should have sorted out years ago, i mean 4 DAMN YEARS, is it so hard to get such a minute problem fixed in 4 years.
