I'm not sure if i can help u. but i'm quite positive the option file can be used to all PES2008, unless u imported the game from other regions using NTSC/J or whatever. Just try and find out for urself.
Next: my review on the game:
I appreciate if u could spend some time reading it.
I had played the game for 5 straight days, spent for about sixteen
hours in total, attempted for an exact 50 exhibition matches on the
hardest difficulty, got 16 wins-18 loses-16 draws, scored 51 goals and
conceded 49. Frankly I feel more towards stress rather than delight of
playing the most reputable football game. Thus I'm taking a break from
PES gaming, to regain enthusiasm as well as contemplating when to
resume playing PES 2008.
Gameplay:
The very first kick-off made me wonder why the ball moves like
that. It rolled too slow for short passes and felt heavy like not
enough air inside. This heightened the risk of losing possession. The
players those on my side were very annoying, tired and in a great need
to lose some weight. Their running speed, whether or not R1 held down,
was really unacceptable. The com players on the other hand were
noticeably faster and subtly had a boost on their stats. Furthermore
when I had the ball, I noticed the nearest teammates stood too close
and did not make any effort to get some distance for a safe short pass.
When I tried to hold down the X button longer, the ball still rolled at
an unconvincing/unsecured speed to the farthest recipient. Even if the
ball made it to the receiving player, the opposing players were already
made the space congested and forced me to backtrack or pass backwards.
Oh, in PES 2008 there is no guarantee the ball will be passed to
farthest player no matter how long or how hard you push the X button.
Now and again, when I wanted to pass from a CB to the farthest SB, the
ball will just rolled to another CB. By the way, my controller was just
fine, so no problem on that.
Next: the through passes. Back then, I enjoyed very much using
the triangle button in PES6. It was very effective virtually on every
area of the pitch. For example, to make the receiving players (CF, WF,
CMF, or even CB) to move forward and continuing the attacking flow. But
in PES 2008, it will look like an idiot if I were ever to use that
move. Konami had modified the through pass, and the result: it moved
frustratingly faster plus at a bad angle approaching the opposing team
players. So far I had only found one way to safely execute the through
ball is by passing the ball to a winger for him to make a dull cross.
Next problem: the cursor-changing speed and accuracy. It also
happened when I played PES6 and other previous PES. This may be a fault
on my part if not on the developer, though. It mostly (but not always)
occurs after the ball passed the midfield line. E.g. When I was passing
the ball between the midfielders (CMF), the cursor suddenly changed to
another player like AMF right when the ball was rolling. This made the
CMF just staring at the ball, the AMF desperately backtracked and I
lost the possession. I had tried various cursor settings but the
problem still unsolved. Maybe someone could recommend to me the
solutions.
Commentary:
The commentary section finally gets the new pundits. I was
quite relieved to listening to new voices rather than the same fellas
from previous PES. But it was still not a thorough replacement when
Konami had both new commentators read most of the lines used in the
previous PES. Maybe Seabass and his team were too busy focusing on the
Teamvision AI and next-gen PES 2008 rather than spending time to
acquire brand-new scripts. I also had tried Master League to listen to
the commentary and sadly it was also the exact same lines. My verdict
is, if thats the case; why not let Peter Brackley redo the commentary
with different voice tones, accents or maybe when he comes down with a
cold.

Ok, enough with the complaints although there are several more issues
(the absence of new diving and shirt-pulling tricks, PES6 graphic, PES6
cinematic) that demand the attention of PS2 owners who yet to buy a
PS3. A reviewer at Gamefaqs.com said "a polite way of telling owners to
upgrade, maybe?but I'd say "it was an insult to PS2 hardware" Will the
game become unplayable on PS2 if Konami include the new diving trick?
Welcomed Improvements / Additions:
The top menu design in my opinion is simply gorgeous. I cant help but
playing around with the menu and the lighting effects. In other words:
kudos to Seabass and his cronies on this department.
The Community mode I considered as an improvement of Memorial Match of
PES6. Now we dont have to bother with the second memory card in order
to keep track of matches between friends.
The playlist editor also is a great addition - the 59 songs included
are quite catchy and may be able to soothe the players down after being
frustrated of not scoring any goal in the first few matches of the day.
Not only that, I was very pleased to be able to sort and assign the
songs to my own liking.
The track record was my most appreciated inclusion. The mode keeps the
players updated on various stats such as number of wins, loses, the
date when you won a cup and MANY more. Moreover it also assesses the
player's ability like scoring, defending and playmaking which I deeply
valued.

Lastly, any review on PES games will not be proper without praising the
developer's success to deliver a lifelike experience of football
matches. Personally I considered the gameplay presentation in the game
were as beautiful and memorable as the real football matches in the TV.
Thats why Pro Evo is still my favourite footie game no matter how bad
it enraged me for the past five days. I'm more than optimistic knowing
someone out there says "Time makes PES games better?
Score: PES6 > PES2008 > FeeFaa
