The PES 5 Preorder thread - PC VERSION £17.99 from PLAY.COM & AMAZON.CO.UK

[Bolch]

Here's the preorders I've seen so far. In my experience. When importing Winning Eleven only yesasia will guarantee no customs fees. For the UK Gameplay (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://playgames.at/thedvdforums) and Amazon UK (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/redirect-home^QS^tag=thedvdforums-21^QA^site=dvd) should get you the UK version of the Game on release day although that costs extra for first class postage.

If you see any preorders elsewhere let me know and I'll update this post.

[gunner]

Is there a confirmed released date mate?

[LouBarlow]

Bolch you are far too organised and sexual for a man.

Indeed, if you were a woman Id make you mine.

[Bolch]

Bolch you are far too organised and sexual for a man.

Indeed, if you were a woman Id make you mine.

I've already got the tits, and could tuck it in if that would sway you?

I'm not organised in the slightest, I'm on a conference call :(

gunner: None that I've seen. I'd guess end of October, beginning of November.

[gunner]

No worries, Ill do some digging and see if I can find out.

BTW - Get a room you two ;)

[Bolch]

I did get us a forum, but everyones muscled in :mad:

[Professor Abronsius]

Bolch, sorry to go off topic mate, but do you still have Super Mario Sunshine, is it the Original Release (not players choice) and is it minty mint ?

Now on topic - when is the XBox 360 out and if it's before Chrimbo, are we likely to see PES5 on it ?

Think my PC may be needing a wee Upgrade before November.

Cheers. :)

[Bolch]

360 was meant to be out for Christmas but I've not seen a solid release date for anything yet so I'm getting a bit skeptical.

Mario wise, yeah I think so will check tonight.

[daz_75]

Bolch you are far too organised and sexual for a man.

Indeed, if you were a woman Id make you mine.

keeps you hands off he's mine :n0rty: :D

[Professor Abronsius]

360 was meant to be out for Christmas but I've not seen a solid release date for anything yet so I'm getting a bit skeptical.

Mario wise, yeah I think so will check tonight.

Nice one mate.

You can let me know.

Cheers. :)

[russb]

Ordered Winning 11 and PES5 for the PSP, no way can i wait an extra 6 weeks!

Now to decide on PS2 or XBOX for PES5.

God help me when it comes out on the next gen consoles, although i cant see that happening until next year.

[gunner]

I wonder if PS2 will be playable against Xbox..? I doubt it if it is live, but it would be good.

I think I would go for the PS2 version every time because of the controller.

[LouBarlow]

Why not get the PC version and play against the hard-core maseeeeeeve?

[gunner]

Ill get that as well, just so I can play while the missues watches her crap.

[LouBarlow]

:lol:

[daz_75]

Ill get that as well, just so I can play while the missues watches her crap.

:gag: scat man

[Professor Abronsius]

Bolch, just found your thread in the Classifieds, so have posted there mate.

Also interested in Mario Kart as well now.

Cheers. :)

[damell]

Bolchmeister, do yesasia usually get your pre-orders out on time? Playasia have always been good for me but like you said, there may be custom fees.

E: Also, Play Asia is expecting stock August 2nd, whereas Yes Asia is 4th.

[Ono]

Play-Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1p3h.html) will ship it quicker than Yes Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://global.yesasia.com/assocred.asp^QS^LU83C65N) and you are unlikely to get hit with customs. Yes Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://global.yesasia.com/assocred.asp^QS^LU83C65N) won't ship it before release date and may not have it in stock until several days after release date.

I buy most of my JPN games from Play-Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1p3h.html) and they have never let me down. Only problem recently though is that Play-Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1p3h.html) won't ship PSP games to the UK (due to $ony being *****). Therefore I have the PSP version on order with Yes Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://global.yesasia.com/assocred.asp^QS^LU83C65N).

My PS2 version is still on order with Play-Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1p3h.html) though.


Whether you chose Play-Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1p3h.html) or Yes Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://global.yesasia.com/assocred.asp^QS^LU83C65N) you will get pretty decent service.

[damell]

Cheers Ono. Think i'll go with play to the asia then. Might fork out a bit extra for quick delivery too. :dork:

[scottwilson82]

I found it for the PC :gag: for £17.95 from MX2 (http://www.mx2.co.uk/default.asp?part=PC943) don't know if they're any good. Now to find a cheap Xbox copy :thumbs:

[john316]

:nono: - wrong way round young man

[Ono]

Don't go near MX2.

[damell]

Winning Eleven 9 sent today from Play Asia. :clap:

[unrealnils]

Play and dvd.co.uk will have prov evo 5 on pc for 18 at hte time of release so no need to go for MX2

[Ono]

Winning Eleven 9 sent today from Play Asia. :clap:
Bugger. No sign of mine.

[LouBarlow]

Yeah I noticed this was out.

[damell]

Best news is Egypt aren't in the game so I can't get lumbered with them again. :lol:

[Ono]

Just got email confirmation of shipping :D

[brendonw]

What makes you think you'll be any good with that with your current form ???

:lol:

[LouBarlow]

Well I've had my PS2 sprinkled with magical fairy dust, so just waiting for the game to arrive now :D

[Ian Vinten]

How long do things take to come from Yes Asia?

Although I wish I had ordered from Amazon Japan now after reading this (http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=ja_en&trurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.amazon.co.jp%2fexec%2fobidos%2fam%2f250-3211634-1826644%3fp%3dASIN%252FB0009WO72G%252Fref%253Damb%255Fcenter%252D1%255F36998506%255F1%252F%26l%3d36998506%26c%3d36998506%26i%3d3895085566%26s%3d1) nonsense translation :)

[Tom Whitaker]

Can't believe they've not changed the title...

http://www.silverscreened.com/ws.jpg

[gunner]

Well I've had my PS2 sprinkled with magical fairy dust, so just waiting for the game to arrive now :D

My copy has arrived :notworthy - through my source in the industry.

Will try it as soon as I am home and put up a review. :clap:

[john316]

Should have my copy waiting for me today as well - better brush up on my Japanese before I load it :dork:

[Ian Vinten]

Can't believe they've not changed the title...

http://www.silverscreened.com/ws.jpg

:eek:

[Ono]

Don't get it.

[LouBarlow]

I've had a sneak peak while I wait for my copy to arrive and....it is a thing of beauty.

Shooting is well improved for me, but it's not *that* much of an upgrade apart from that...everything just feels a lot more 'right'

[LouBarlow]

Actually dribbling seems a lot looser too, with the ball not being as closely controllled as Pro Evo 4, even with the most skillfull players - a joy to finally be able to throw the ball properly from the keeper too :D

Headers seem to have more weight to them, and the ball seems to deflect a lot more, if you catch my drift? I can't see it being mastered as easily as PES4, in terms of crosses and drag-backs, which can onbe a good thing...oh and no slow-down!!!111 :thumbs:

Hope they have an English patch out before my copy turns up, but so far I think it's safe to say that PES5 is going to be the nuts, especially on PC :D

[john316]

Any changes to the FK routines?

[LouBarlow]

Passing from free-kicks seems to have a power meter.

[unrealnils]

Wonder if anyone will be able to pull of the great swedish/Brolin goal from the free kick :D

[john316]

Just been having a go for the last 60 mins - truely awesome. First game I played, I was a little underwhelmed at the changes but by the second game, I was totally sold!

The way you can burrow through defenders now with skillful, powerful players is a much welcomed edition.

Long range shooting is definately improved - was hitting some unbelievable hits with Djibs Cisse (most sailing high and wide :D) and Riise (who is scarily like his real life self in the game!) in my last game.

The animation is just taken up another level - when you see the GK actually slipping a little when trying to get back onto his feet after palming a shot a way, you know care and precision has gone into this aspect!

Passing and control has definately been made harder - forget pressing X,X,X,X and shoot to beat teams as you'll get absolutely nowhere. Care and precision is needed a lot more now when passing the football. Through balls are much harder to judge so no more easy through balls to cut open space behind Fullbacks unless you judge it perfectly. Crossing is also much, much harder and cutbacks don't see to be a factor at all anymore. And forget instant control from less than perfect passes - you can see the extra needed to control balls now.

Running with the ball is virtually ineffective against good defences - no more Ronaldo sprint-a-thons with Real Madrid as you'll get nowhere. You'll need to use the running carefully otherwise you'll be shedding possession quickly. But Konami have made it seems the variances in pace seem more effective so if you're in a footrace between Shevchenko and Hyypia, then you'll notice the difference more in this version.

Overall after 60 mins - top, top stuff and I'm only scratching the surface :thumbs:

EDIT: Class, just seen my brother playing and the CPU defenders actually had a coming together off the ball knocking Silvestre to the ground :lol:

[LouBarlow]

It's actually quite tough too.

I'm convinced this is going to be outstanding online :dork:

[john316]

It's actually quite tough too

'Tis indeed - was very tough to break down defences. Chipped through ball, even with Arsenal was just a waste of time! :lol:

[unrealnils]

Hey guys what do you recomend or think would be the weakest GFX card to play this game on the pc maxed out tottally ??

[john316]

My Radeon 9800 Pro plays it maxed out 1280x1024 now

[Art Vanderlay]

Don't get it.

It reads as "Winning 9/11"

[unrealnils]

My Radeon 9800 Pro plays it maxed out 1280x1024 now
silly questions but are you playinng w9/11 on pc and not ps2 ?

[damell]

WE9 isn't released on PC until next year, after PES5.

[damell]

http://www.plump.se/lampard.avi

Thought I was watching the real thing. :eek:

[unrealnils]

WE9 isn't released on PC until next year, after PES5.


AH i see i meant to ask was will i be able to play Pes5 maxed out on a 6800gt? :shrug:

[Ono]

AH i see i meant to ask was will i be able to play Pes5 maxed out on a 6800gt? :shrug:
Yes.

[LouBarlow]

OMG Vogel just scored from the half-way line for PSV :lol:

How do I get the replays on to my PC? :suspect:

[damell]

You need an X-port (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000AOD4O/thedvdforums-21), not that it will be much use because you can't turn it into a replay without WE9/PES5 on the PC. :(

[LouBarlow]

I think you can load replay files into W118i too damell...there is certainly an option in the option files mentioning it, not that I can understand it :D

Will a max-drive get it on to my PC just as well?

[damell]

Yeah I think max-drive is the same sort of thing, not that I've used it.

[LouBarlow]

Cripes there is already a patch out that translates about 90% of the text :nuts:

This is rapidly becoming my favourite version, beating out even 4 on the PC...PES5 on the PC, if it is just this game in high-res with a lag-free online game, is going to take over our lives even more :lol:

[john316]

The 100% patch should be out tomorrow it seems so I'll grab that and the option file and that is me sorted till the proper patches arrive :D

[damell]

The first impressions I've read so far are a lot more positive than PES4.

[Ono]

Wos this I hear about not needing R2 to sidestep anymore?! :suspect:


Also heard that it will run off my PS2 HDD which is a bonus.

[Ono]

Bit worrying.

Bleeders just got his WE9 from Play-Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1p3h.html) and he got knobbed for a £22 Customs bill.

Looks like he went with superfastcosIamdesperate post so here's hoping normal jiffy back gets through.

[john316]

Wos this I hear about not needing R2 to sidestep anymore?! :suspect:

Yep, you can still use it like - but some players who are superb on the ball sidestep automatically if you stop, then try and move left/right.

[LouBarlow]

Players like Rooney, who is a step up in this version - what a shot he's got :lol:

[daz_75]

So it's harder to score in this versio?

[john316]

Very difficult against good opponents - you'll almost have to start again with your playing styles. I know I definately will have to :lol:

[Kronik]

So are all English teams official?

[john316]

Chelsea and Arsenal only I believe

[daz_75]

i don't think maing it harder to score is a good thing. 0 - 0 draws bore me, 10-8 scores are much better

[Art Vanderlay]

i don't think maing it harder to score is a good thing. 0 - 0 draws bore me, 10-8 scores are much better

I think the scoring difficulty is about right in PES4

What I hope to see from PES5 is improved marking of players so throughballs/cutbacks are not quite so effective, and shooting from distance to be improved.

I'm a bit worried by comments on the PESFan forums that the refs are a bit too whistle happy in WE9, though

:dork:

[Bolch]

I'm a bit worried by comments on the PESFan forums that the refs are a bit too whistle happy in WE9, though

The only thing I don't like about the refs on PES4 is they're not harsh enough. I've seen disgusting tackles with only a foul given last chance hack on a man straight through only getting a yellow. If it's a yellow card offence then a yellow card should be given.

[Professor Abronsius]

Mr Bolch, you have mail... and a post or two in your Classifieds Thread... :thumbs:

[daz_75]

Prof, are you following bolch around posting things about his classifed thread, im sure that's all i see you post these days ;) :D

[Professor Abronsius]

:D

Just in here mate.

Most of my posts these days are in the BF2 Thread... ;)

[daz_75]

thinking of getting it, is it any good. Had 1942 but thought it was crap, much different?

[Jez]

Yo guys long time reader first time poster in the world of pro evo in the dvd forums.

Only really buy pro evo on PS2 i get my moneys worth playing with mates :D .

Is there a run down of changes/improvments anywhere online or does anyone fancy doing one in terms W11 cause they change a few for pro evo dont they?

One thing i would like to know is can you curl a shot, a nice nicely placed side foot curler. Or any control over the curl on shooting, its one thing that has always bothered me about pro evo obviously it shouldnt be easy ;)

Cheers guys :thumbs:

[LouBarlow]

Refs are spot on in this version imho.

No longer can you just barge people out of the way using x, if you make unfair contact, depending on the ref, then he blows.

He will also book players for dirty challenges, even if advantage has been played - he waits for play to stop then books the player concerned - class!

I also love the way now that certain attackers can outpace defenders, whereas in PES4 even a defender like Campbell would catch someone like Shaun Wright Phillips, which just isn't realistic.

Also turns have been tweaked so as to not allow for those ghey mazing runs - running with the ball is verrry difficult here, and I'm still on *** level :lol:

It's just a better game to me - end of!

[Art Vanderlay]

Sounds great to me, Lou

Pretty much all the things you mentioned would make it a better game in my eyes

I'm already looking forward to the first PES5 league :)

[Jez]

Curling shots Lou?

[Professor Abronsius]

Daz, get the demo and try it out...

If you want it on a disc to save the HEE-UGE download, let me know over on the BF2 Thread.

It is a whole lot more and a whole lot better than 1942. None of us have even touched 1942 since the Demo for BF2 came out.

It's more team orientated now.

Oh and there is a BIG -=EA=- Clan versus the Forumites Match this Saturday night.

But let's not discuss it on your PES Thread - get yerself over to the BF2 Thread man!

Cheers. :)

[unrealnils]

Curling shots Lou?
You can put a bit of bend on slower shots on pes4 .......

Amount of times i've held on to the d-pad to just curl the shot outside of the post. :D

[LouBarlow]

Curling shots Lou?

Shots do seem to curl more yes, but I could be imagining it I guess - haven't really perfected the 'side-foot' shot yet I'll admit :D

[damell]

Bit worrying.

Bleeders just got his WE9 from Play-Asia (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-1p3h.html) and he got knobbed for a £22 Customs bill.

Looks like he went with superfastcosIamdesperate post so here's hoping normal jiffy back gets through.

That's me, £20.01 :cry: The worst part of it is I don't even have a PS2 with the ability to play it yet. :(

RE: Curling shots. I've seen some nicely placed side footers. Press and Hold R2 whilst the power bar is shown.

[Bolch]

Just had a few games. Defintitly harder to score and the ref seemed to pick up on fouls a lot more. But don't really want to comment on the gameplay until I've played the PC version - Lets just say I remember why the PS2 was packed in a cupboard.

[LouBarlow]

Yeah the graphics smell in comparison, but I'm loving that gameplay - honestly impressed with the changes here :)

[Jez]

Side not how you play jap games on an english ps2?

[Tob]

I had my first game last night, I beat Real on 4*s due to a nice Henry goal - his first touch was new, he kinda pushed it with outside of the boot so he managed to wrong foot the defender. I agree with what Lou said earlier, you definitely have to work harder at passing and moving the ball around, its not just a case of tapping x willy nilly. I like the feeling of struggling/tussling to the ball too. First impressions are definitely good though.

[Ono]

Defintitly harder to score and the ref seemed to pick up on fouls a lot more.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[LouBarlow]

My proper copy arrived this morning and it's actually more hassle to use as I have to 'sprinkle it with fairy dust' so as to apply the latest patch to it, which is 99% complete :clap:

Still I feel better actually paying for a game this good :thumbs:

[Tequila]

I've been playing this for a few days now and have to agree that it's the best so far. The animation is superb and I like the way players struggle to get past each other unlike PES4 where they just go through each other.

It's harder to score but I've seemed to gotten the hang of it quicker then previous versions. Dribbling is also harder but more rewarding, I managed to get an opposing player to fall on his feet after I changed direction.

Can't wait to play this online!

[LouBarlow]

Small touches are great too, like the referee pointing in the direction of throw-ins and fouls etc :D

Playing on 5* now and it's not *that* much of a step-up from 3...still tough as old boots to score, which makes it much more satisfying when you do :)

[john316]

The shirts out of the shorts just makes people like Gattuso look just a replica of his real life self! :eek:

[daz_75]

It's harder to score but I've seemed to gotten the hang of it quicker then previous versions.

Oh bugger :D

[Ono]

OK, impressions from a playing one match:

Ball seems to bobble around a lot more.
Lots of new animations.
Nice refreshing menus.
Crap opening movie.
Haven't scored a goal yet :cry:
Ball sounds meatier.
Arsenal's new kit.
Ref blows for everthing :mad:

Graphically it is OK - but the PC version of PES4 (with Wolfy patch) has spoilt my viewing tastes as everything looks blurred on consoles now.


Does feel even more like footie now though.

[Ono]

The referee in this game is really starting to **** me off..

[LouBarlow]

Don't foul then :lol:

I was amazed going back to PES4 tonight, just how much a step forward this new release is.

My hopes are high for Pro Evo 5 - kiss goodbye to your social lives :D

[Ono]

I hardly call it fouling. I call it aggressive use of the X and O buttons together.

Making it too stop start for me at the moment. Have to say that the shooting seems to be nicer now though. Just played as England and Lampard can sure hit some screamers. :D

[Ono]

Oh, and does anyone know what that PSP option is - a link up of some sort?

[LouBarlow]

Yeah I thought the same at first, but you soon learn how to adjust your tackling - it's just a brilliant, brilliant edition of the series - one flaw, and I mean one, is the offside routine, which is just slightly favouring the defending side, which is a mistake in my book...oh and the other *one* flaw, would be that iffy goalkeeping dive routine, but those aside, this is the finest football game I've ever played in my 20 years of gaming.

[john316]

Oh, and does anyone know what that PSP option is - a link up of some sort?

I think I can recall you can play your Master League on both versions so you can sync across which is pretty damn cool :dork:

[Jez]

What about keepers coming out and chipping?

In pro evo 4 i prob scored about 70% of my goals from chips and the keeper coming out and making it easy :D

[LouBarlow]

Chips over the keeper are a *lot* harder...I scored loads that way myself in PES4, but Ihaven't scored one yet in this release...make of that what you will.

I also notice that those goals you could nick when the opposition took a short goal-kick have been eliminated too, as your strikers arent allowed close enough to the last defender.

[Art Vanderlay]

Can you short pass to anyone other than the first defender from goal kicks?

[LouBarlow]

Nope.

Goal-kicks are identical.

[Barny79]

Does PES5 have official kits and names?

[Ono]

Does PES5 have official kits and names?
The PC version will :D :suspect:


The PS2 vesion has some licensed teams and kits - Real Madrid, Chelski, Arsenal and the Japanese version uses real names on all players I believe (in Japanese :lol: ).

Most kits are not official though.

[Bolch]

one flaw, and I mean one, is the offside routine, which is just slightly favouring the defending side, which is a mistake in my book

That was something I'd hoped they'd corrected.

Also only played 2 games of it, but when taking a free kick Select didn't toggle between 1 kicker and 2? Now I doubt they've removed it so does anyone know how to change it to 2 people stood over the ball?

[damell]

In the manual it says:

When the icon is shown above the Name Panel, each long press of L2 will switch between using one or two kickers. The second kicker can also be positioned to the left or right.

[john316]

Most kits are not official though.

Don't know why Konami just try and imitate the kits more - even put some sponsors on the kits that look a bit like the real life versions! :D

Are we not going to get the support of damell and morro316 in the BF2 match?

Some of the modding work being done on the kits, in the community, is pretty incredible - I'm sure a patch will eventually be released with all the proper kits.

So I've seen. The in game editor looks pretty nifty.

Don't doubt it - I just feel a little sorry for those kiddies with their unmodded consoles and no gaming PC who won't be able to experience the game in its ultimate glory :D

[Jez]

Or you can just get a maxdrive or xdrive and play on PS2 where it was always ment to be played!

[john316]

Or you can just get a maxdrive or xdrive and play on PS2 where it was always ment to be played!

:lol: - a PS2 option file doesn't quite match up to a fully patched PC version

[damell]

I'd argue the gameplay more than makes up for it.

[john316]

And PC PES 4/5 gives you everything which is my entire point :lol:

[LouBarlow]

I don't think the option file contains the updated kits and what have you, I think you have to patch the game itself, which is easier on the PC versions, unless you have a PS2 hard-drive of course.

No matter how much I love the PC version, there can be no arguing that this new PS2 WE9 trouces all over it, despite the slightly shoddy graphics...which are only shoddy because of the limitations of the format...I'm sure the PS3 will beat them all :D

[Matt.Wild]

Wonder if PES 5 will get rid of the god awful button lag on some online games :)

I expect PES 5 online to just be the best thing ever created by mankind so it had be fixed! :nono: :D

[andybhoy]

I'm actually considering buying a ps2 to get this. What's the cheapest option?

[damell]

PES5 or WE9 andybhoy? If the latter you'll need a modded PS2.

John, I was referring to the way the PS2 version plays compared to the PC. I find the PS2 version faster and much more responsive.

[john316]

Well you'd need to get your PS2 and then sprinkle some magical dust on it via a mod chip or slim tool to allow it to get the game actually working then.

I find the PS2 version faster and much more responsive.

Ah! Can't make my mind up on that front which I prefer - somedays I just find the PS2 version to be too fast and somedays I find the PC version too slow :shrug: :D

[andybhoy]

Ah, didn't know that - well I'm skint(ish) so I don't think I can justify the cost of the console, magic dust and the game.

Guess I'll just have to accept that by the time pes5 comes out, you guys will already be out of sight =(

[Ono]

Guess I'll just have to accept that by the time pes5 comes out, you guys will already be out of sight =(
Not really, the game plays virtually identically to PES4 - just that it has had tweaks.

[LouBarlow]

Im sorry but WE9 is like a totally different game to PES4...though I haven't played the PS2 version I'll admit.

No goals from cut-backs...crosses are nowhere near as effective...balls over the top ditto...Koller has had a foot chopped off his height etc etc :D

On the other point, I don't have a modified console - my magical fairy dust involves the slide method, and the retail Japanese version, as well as the patched versions, work fine using said method.

[Ono]

What I was trying to say was that we won't have much of an advantage having played WE9 for when PES5 comes out because the mechanics are all pretty much the same bar a few tweaks.


I have seen something called the Fernando patch so may have a go at patching it.

[damell]

No goals from cut-backs...

That'll do me. :rocker:

[Bapapapa]

No goals from cut-backs... Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! :p

Is there an English patch out yet..? :dork:

EDIT - don't worry I've found it and it works a treat... :thumbs:

First play:

Seems as hard as ever to score and ironically the one goal I did score was from a low cross.. :lol: and the ball definately seems more 'alive'.

The geeky goals/shots arrow thingy in the reuslts pages has definately given me the biggest hard-on so far though.. :dork:

[russb]

my magical fairy dust involves the slide method, and the retail Japanese version,

I am allowed to ask what exactly this is and if/where I can buy it? I always thought these methods where a con!

I may put an order in for the Jap version today :notworthy

[Bolch]

In the manual it says:

When the icon is shown above the Name Panel, each long press of L2 will switch between using one or two kickers. The second kicker can also be positioned to the left or right.

Cheers dude. Next question. Why doesn't R3 tap the ball to the other player? I take it they've changed that too.

For those of you that ordered this from Yes-Asia. How long did it roughly take to come?? :)

[LouBarlow]

I am allowed to ask what exactly this is and if/where I can buy it? I always thought these methods where a con!

I may put an order in for the Jap version today :notworthy

I got mine from Ebay for about £14, which includes CD/DVD and the tool.

I was prepared to risk it for that money, and it works fine.

No idea on the legailty of these products, so I'll bow to someone elses superior knowledge and edit if necessary, but there's no nasty mod-chipping or backward engineering, so I guess it's safe.

[russb]

Yeah i had a look around the net at lunch at realised they were the real deal. Put in an order for a set and WE9. About £50 all in but will be worth it in a weeks time!

[Jez]

I was rubbish looking for them what are they called if i am aloud to ask? :)

[Jez]

May i ask a stupid question but whats the point of getting Winning 11 wont everything be in Jap etc and pain to work your way through?

[damell]

Because we're too god damn impatient to wait until PES5. There are translation patches out.

[Jez]

Patches for PS2?

[Bolch]

Patches for PS2?

Yup.

Damell forgot though, the commentary is 10x better in Winning Eleven.

[koe_182]

it doesnt take much googling to find out how to patch winning eleven, i suggest you try some of the good winning eleven sites out there. the one i recommend is www.evo-web.co.uk

[john316]

The best place to find any Pro Evo or Winning Eleven stuff are the Evo Web forums - truely an outstanding resource of bits and pieces to do with the Uber brilliant gaming series.

[damell]

So now you've all had a good chance to get used to it, how are you finding WE9?

[LouBarlow]

Love it - been sticking to 4 though until we get these leagues polished off, as it is a totally different game...more so than ever before I think.

[john316]

Same here - don't want to **** up my Pro Evo 4 skills too much :D

[Tequila]

I loving it too, miles better then PES4. When I first switched back to PES4 from WE9 it felt really weird as I kept thinking my player will do sidesteps when turning, but I can play both now for some reason.

Anyone else playing master league? I'm in my third season now Forlan is my top scorer and his stats have gone through the roof he seems more like Henry!

[LouBarlow]

PES4 is too easy to master I think, with goals coming too easily from side-foots and crosses...I see PES5 being far more 'total football'

Not that I have perfected PES4 or anything :lol: - it just seems to be an installment that can be sussed out, with victories won by those who know the route to cut-back glory...WE9 seems to have more soul :lol:

[Doll]

WE9 2 player mode = :luv:
Not to bothered about the one player mode though, the cpu cheats me :razz:

[Art Vanderlay]

I'm can't wait to see what the online mode in PC PES5 brings.

Even if the online play is the same as PES4 then it won't be the end of the world, so any improvements they make would just be the icing on the cake.

[billyblockhead]

Just had my first 2 games on this.

First impressions are very good, it feels totally different to PE4, then again PE4 felt totally different to 3.

First thing I noticed is just how slow paced the game is.

As for the being harder to score, I'm not sure. In my first game I didnt manage a goal, but in my second I stuck 5 past Rangers on 3 stars with Newcastle, even managed to score a header with Emre, one of the smallest players on the game.

Love the new animations, was taking a corner, looked into the box and players were grabbing each other and jostling for positions.
Like the addition of the drop ball as well, apart from when the other team kicked it back to my keeper, they pounced on the ball as soon as he'd attempted to touch it. :nono:

[LouBarlow]

My Granny could score on 3* - put it on 5 you girl ;)

[billyblockhead]

My Granny could score on 3* - put it on 5 you girl ;)

I will do once I get used to playing on the PS2 controller again. I've hardly touched a PS2 pad since Pro Evo 3 was out.

Anyone got an answer to this? I've made an English patched version of WE9, but it's taking forever to load using Swap Magic. I'm not exaggerating when I say it takes me 10mins to even get into a game.
Could it be the type of media I'm using?

[LouBarlow]

Could well be as Im playing it the same way and its fine.

Does the unpatched version (original) load ok?

[billyblockhead]

That loads fine. The patched runs albeit slowly from a DVD-R burnt at 2x. It wont load from a DVD+RW.

I'll have to try getting some different type of -R's I think.

[Bolch]

Bump thanks to John316's excellent spot :thumbs:

Play and dvd.co.uk will have pro evo 5 on pc for 18 at hte time of release so no need to go for MX2


you know :clap:

[Cockeye]

Any idea on the possible tech specs for this?

I know no-one can be specific - but mine is only a 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4, with 512Mb RAM and a 256Mb radeon 9600.

Might I be ok?

[john316]

If you can run Pro Evo 4, you'll be able to run Pro Evo 5 for sure

[unrealnils]

dunno mate the GFX card might be suspect...........

[Art Vanderlay]

I suspect you will be OK. I run PES4 at 1280x1024 Med Res on a 9500 64MB, so even if PES5 is much hungrier, I can always turn the resolution down to make it playable

It is going to be a port of the PS2 version, so I wouldn't imagine it would be much more demanding on a PC than PES4

Totally agree with that, basing it on my experiences with W11 - this one is going to seperate the men from the boys :D

[bigjonnyauk]

u aint kidding lou i have been playing this a few times last few days with babyjonny and to say you need to use your brain more and think ahead is a understatement

if you dont get that pass or cross exactley right you lose it if you cross before the forward runs in then he dont get there but to late behind him it goes

through balls seem much harder aswell

may aswell forget about cut backs and corners and crosses lol

i adopted the only way which seemed possible and if anything a little to easy to score


was the old fifa style shot from just outside the box i scored 5 with gerrard today in one game

not that i am going to use this tattic want to try and play my way to fame lol

but babyjonny was getting the better of me with his slick passing and needed to be taught that dad is the best

[unrealnils]

WHat the old boys from master leaue have gone no more Castolo or Vornandor !!!!

[LouBarlow]

Correct, Yes Asia won't ship till then will they?

[LouBarlow]

Ahh sorry thought it was the 13th.

[charlie angel]

The last couple of games I've had from Yesasia have shipped a few days early though :(

[LouBarlow]

Hmmm it seems it's 'out' today - anyone know how well it plays?

[Bolch]

Just like the PS2 version, however ref doesn't break up play as much, bit of slowdown on a corner and no commentary :(

[Ono]

no commentary :(
Is that the rip only though? :suspect:

[Bolch]

The nfo says it's the full iso. Apparently there's a smaller rip but I've not seen it.

Also lost the ball a couple of times because I couldn't/didn't know how to super cancel.

Wish mine would ship already :(

EDIT - Should also say I think the controls on the PSP are a bit too fiddly to fully enjoy this.

[LouBarlow]

Damn, not that impressed thus far - just doesn't quite 'feel' right to me :(

As Bolch says, controls are slightly iffy too - this is the only Evo I've had to play with the analogue stick, as I don't want my hands to resemble Jeremy Beadle's, which is gonna happen if I use the digital.

Slowdown is very, very disappointing, for me - free-kicks, replays, whever there's too many players on screen.

Also seems that you can only play the Italian league initially :shrug:

Disappointed....slightly.

[LouBarlow]

No highlights after the game either :|

[LouBarlow]

I'm sorry but having played half a league now, this is very disappointing, all things considered.

The omissions mentioned are bad enough (add to that a poor, poor too far in camera that can't be adjusted far enough, meaning you actually can lose track of the ball on replays :nuts: ), but it just doesn't *feel* like a Pro Evo game to me - I'm kinda gutted - good enough to play while having a ****, but a major downer for me :cry:

Try before you buy folks.

[russb]

:( Damn was really looking forward to this.

Thing is im sure there wasnt any any obvious slowdown on that video clip of the german version that was posted a few weeks ago?

Anyway they have 6 weeks to try and sort something out for the european game, doesnt sound too promising. :(

It's not *bad* by any means, just not as good as I, for one, hoped.

[Jez]

Whats the offical release date of Pro Evo 5 on PS2?

Most places say mid October however, gamplay.com has it for the 25th of November. I usually order from them because i get it on day of release. I e-mail them saying everywhere else has it for October, they just said the release list they have from Konami says November :?:

[LouBarlow]

I thought it was 28th October? :D

I guess it's not set in stone yet.

[LouBarlow]

Playing some more PSP stylee at the moment, and as Ono pointed out to me last night, locking the PSP's clock to 333mHz cures the problem of slowdown completely, making it far more enjoyable.

I guess it's going to be a case of playing the bought game from memory card, to get the most out of this one, which is a touch annoying.

The fact that Vieri just scored an overhead kick is also helping me enjoy it a bit more today :D

[russb]

I though it was out on PS2 end of October as has every previous PES game on the PS2, and trhe PSP version follows a few weeks late in November.

[charlie angel]

Well, 'tis now 'Ready, in stock' at Yesasia so not long to go :)

[internetuser]

Are people not expecting to much from the PSP version of Pro Evo 5 ?

I know the controls wont be as good, or game as smooth, but it is on a hand held to play now and again, not for hours at a time like the ps2 and xbox versions. hence stuff taken out.

only thing that would wind me up is slow down.

One of the chaps in Japan on ntsc-uk has picked up UE & says that he hasn;t suffered any slowdown as yet :thumbs:

[Ono]

I actually think the PSP version is pretty decent. One thing you must remember is that it is WE9 and NOT PES4 so you will need time to settle into the game and the different style of play.

Only annoying thing for me at the moment is the blurring of the PSP screen.

This will defo be played by me on the move though. I actually think it's as good as the PSP could handle.

[LouBarlow]

One of the chaps in Japan on ntsc-uk has picked up UE & says that he hasn;t suffered any slowdown as yet :thumbs:

Yeah you don't get any if you run the PSP at its faster speed - I take it he has an actual proper copy of the game then? If so thats good news, as not many games that run from UMD, utilise this faster option.

If he's talking about playing it from his memory card, then it is easy to choose said faster option :thumbs:

[sirp]

any jap to eng menu translations anywhere for this yet?

[shand754]

Off topic I know but how do you play a game from a Memory Card? I assume you need a 1gb card for a start.

[Bolch]

Ono - Dunno, I've stopped playing it tbh.
Sirp - Not seen one, but I wouldn't be supprised if a patch gets released for those running off the memory card.
shand754 - Not allowed to be discussed on the forums as it *could* be used to pirate games. But yes a large Pro Duo is a good starting point.

Hey gusy do people belive they might fix the router issue for pes5 ??

maybe better suitedto the PC demo thread..

Doubt it - unless Konami introduce a '3rd party' (Gamespy etc) in which we all connect to rather than direct IPs, then I believe that any router issues will still exist in PES 5

PES5 on PS2 :eek:

PS2 versions coming on the 21st of October :D

Yup got my pre-order in for PES5 on Ps2 cannnot wait, hopefully will shop early ;)

Has anyone played the PS2 version yet?

[john316]

Tempted to but I'm just going to sit back and wait for the PC version - the PS2 and Xbox versions will only make the wait seem longer :D

[Tob]

Presumably Pro Evo 5 will not be just a port of WE9 with updated rosters? Anyone know what is new over WE9?

[GoblinUK]

News from Rllmuk is that PES5 is better that WE9, much more satisfying to play. Fingers crossed

[Tequila]

Played PES5 and didn't notice much difference to WE9. Seems to have a few tweaks like through balls don't get overplayed as much as they do in WE9, there's a 60 hz mode, promoted teams are added and most transfers are done like Owen to Necastle but they don't have Solano.

Does this mean Palace aren't in it anymore? Right, I'm sticking with WE9!

[Ono]

Well, just played PES5 and it is really a step up from PES4 IMHO. Some of us (me included) are going to have to radically change our play styles to get anywhere on it.

One thing which may be of concern though is the lack of the Training Ground as a selectable stadium. Hopefully the netcode will be better to compensate.

[LouBarlow]

Do you mean the PS2 version Ono?

I don't think PS2 PES4 had a training ground either, but I could be wrong...

[Ono]

Do you mean the PS2 version Ono?

I don't think PS2 PES4 had a training ground either, but I could be wrong...
Yeah. Oh, well, I hope it's in the PC version then.

[damell]

I think you had to unlock it Loucifer.

[Tequila]

It's in PES5 but as you have to buy it from the PES shop like PES4 as Damell said. It's unlocked straight away on the PC because the Wolf patch option file has everything unlocked already.

[Tequila]

Does this mean Palace aren't in it anymore? Right, I'm sticking with WE9!
Yep all the relegated teams are replaced with the promoted teams in the Premiershiup, La Liga, Seria A etc.

[Ono]

PES5 is absolutely wonderful. It does seem to be faster than the current PC incarnation - but I was playing on PS2 under 60hz.

I think one the best improvements is the shooting. Just played Brazil vs N Ireland and some of the crackers Brazil were firing on goal were stunning and just make them seem "more Brazillian".

The AI of the cpu seems to be better too - N Ireland were passing it around with some decent fluidity (playing 3 star level) and not afraid to go backwards if need be. Getting possession without fouling was harder.

PES5 is going to reward patient passer and/or the speculative shooter :D


Roll on the PC version at the end of the month - I just so happen to have taken a well deserved week or so off work then too :thumbs:

[Tob]

Ono, are your thoughts in comparason to WI9 or to PES4? Ta.

[Ono]

To be honest - I can't really tell. PES5 is now my preferred version purely on the basis of the English menus etc.

The commentary from Brackley and Brooking is also top notch. Quite strange playing with it on though as PC PES4 has had commentary off for about a year now :lol:

[EchoLeader]

PES5 is going to reward patient passer and/or the speculative shooter :D


Excellent news, that is the way I play PES4 (unsuccessfully) at the moment, hopefully the new one will cater more for my playing style.

Not sure which version to get, I'll probably get the PS2 version because of mates, etc. (impractical to have them around the PC), but I'd like to play the new version online, would it better getting the PC version and a PS2 pad convertor? Or just go for the PS2 Network?

Also what this about router issues?

Thanks.

[john316]

Well PC version of course! :D

You already have a large set of opponents right here. And the router issues are just down to port forwarding. To play Pro Evo 4 online, you need to forward ports otherwise it won't work. If it was a problem in Pro Evo 5, then we'd get it sorted very, very quickly for you :thumbs:

[Ono]

PC version is likely to be the best by far again. Certainly the one I am looking forward to most. The PS2 and XBox version just look blurred next to the PC versions now.

Router issues revolve around port forwarding. Depends on which one you have. Many of us have sorted it out so it can't be that bad.

[damell]

I'm enjoying the PC demo but again it just doesn't feel as fast or responsive as the PS2 version. Also Ono, try switching to the default 50hz and you'll find a much sharper picture and faster gameplay.

Deadly dam the dam dam man, there is a new PC demo out, which is said to be much more responsive...I don't think we will truly know how the final game plays till the day we all install it and then have a marathon circle-jerk in celebration :clap:

I'm so tempted to pick up the PC version of part 5 & try again in the league.

I just remember part 4 being slowdown city for me though :(

Half of that Evo Web thread think the demo is identical bar Commentary and the other thinks its a massive difference to the game :suspect:

I went with www.gameplay.com, if you choose 1st class postage they will get it to you on the Friday for sure. It makes it up for 30quid but its on a quid so wasnt bothered!

Cannot say about play because never really used them for games?

Are you talking about the pc version Jez? I thought that was only 17.99 @ Play (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump.php?url=http://playcom.at/thedvdforums)?
