PRO EVO 5

played it last night on the xbox pre-release.

i'm very impressed,even more realistic...passings harder so you cant just ping it about by pressing the pass button. if you hold it down it goes longer.

slide tackling has improved alot. not so many fouls. the nudge foul gives away more fouls so you gotta be careful and not just button bash. defenders can push strikers off theball to win a header and you can also chest it down.

the injuries have changed. if someone gets injured 1st half but can carry on, 2nd half they might not be able to carry on and you gotta sub them. also, the ref stopped play coz a player was down, ended up being a drop ball...all these nice touches make it the best football game around without doubt.

thats all ive noticed up to know...cant wait till its released on the PS2.

 

When is the PC release date?

 

The 28th in Europe plus easily moddable. PES4 feels so sloppy after playing the PES5 Demo..

 

I'm not sure about pro evo this year. I've been a pro evo aficionado since the iss series, but I haven't heard much positive feedback from japan on winning eleven 9. Sounds like they haven't improved many of the features, and stuck with the dated master league format.

Every year konami manage to simultaneously improve some aspects and ruin aspects of the game which were fine in the previous installment.

One question though Spartan, do the players still constantly pass with outside of the foot like they do in pro evo 4? Because seeing the likes of Sol Campbell spraying passes about ala Veron just looks rubbish and unrealistic.

 

i havent noticed that to be honest with u gazza...the short passing is a lot harder this year. u cant just tap the button and play 1 touch football. sometimes passes will go way off if your not facing the way you wanna pass

scored a blinder last night with pires edge of the box, at an angle towards the left. he hit it with the outside of his right and it curled into the top right corner...loved it!!

 

Cant wait for it to come out on PS2. I think Arsenal are one the few English clubs to have proper kits and stuff. Is this true?

 

yeah Arsenal and chelscum are the only 2 licenced EPL teams

another little thing i notcied last night is when a player gets injured and stays down. if the ball doesnt go out of play the ref will stop play for treatment and then theres a drop ball...nice lil touch

 

Cheers.

The game has amazing gameplay and I assume it will only get better with the new one and as you say its those little touches which just take it that next level.

 

Nope, it's been cut down loads.. infact I've only seen a handful so far and I've had it ages.

It really is a brilliant game, so much better than Fifa.

judging by the demo is looks wicked. much more realistic, like players some players shirts hang out, others dont whilst fouls are much more realistic. Top Class game if only they could improve the commentary..

 

to be honest i didn't really like the demo much, but i played fifa and it sucks!
last season, for the first time i chose pro evo and this season i've pre ordered it 3 weeks before the release

so tomorrow is he day....YEEHAA

 

and where do you live??

 

I'll have to wait next week I'll have to stick to the default kits for at least a week though..

 

I'm going to try and get it on PS2 today, a day early. Wish me luck!

I'm getting it on PC as soon as it's out too, wahey!

 

i live in germany....and it came this morning...

well you really have to get used to it, i think

waiting for the memorycard updates on ebay 'cause the englsh league and german really suck without the orignial kits and so on

 

No one would sell me it a day early, arse holes!

 

Good for you I have to wait a week for the PC version. :roll:

 

I'm getting the PC version too, but I'm getting it on PS2 first.

 

playing it right now. a bit disappointing really. the players all look like bambi on ice; very shaky and slow...
