"Pro Evo 3 - First thoughts?"

Got my copy this morning and played for a bit before I go to uni. Here are my first thoughts:

Training mode is much better. You have to first pass a skill 1 then move on to skill 2 and so on to skill 5 which is pretty damn hard. Ain't managed it yet - Skills include shooting, passing dribbling etc

Gameplay is good but it will take time to get used to

I thought there was a libero grande part to the game?

Team names are all wrong as are some of the player names - guessing a cheat cd will be availble soon

Played round a mates house 2 weeks ago a japanese version and the teams were fully updated - not this one. Sheringham still at spurs, Chelsea team from last year plus duff

Overall good but I prefer Pro evo 2 better for some reason. May change over time though

Peace

Well, I didn't want to say anything.

Not sure what you mean about this graphics blurred thing. Cant say i have noticed it myself, only other than in the highlights as said below.

Ah well, maybe it's my TV. I think I get the transfer thing. Sort o.

T'is very noticable on WE7 where 60hz mode is a bit odd.

Overall PES3 is miles better than PES2 (FIFA 2004 doesn't come close to challenging PES1 yet!!!)

At first the "getting used to Period" is a bit odd, but it is so much more addictive than PES2.

Noe, my views are based on the Beta, apparantly there's been some tweaks, and some people say the Beta's better!

The Blurry thing, that is.

i think the goalies are not gud enough, especially when most efforts look like goin in top corner. im considering changing the goalie stats to max to sort it out.

Yes, goalies are a bit awful. Kick-feints fool them EVERY time, they are pathetic at reaching long shots, they dive about like idiots to no effect.

Defenders are horribly good. AC Milan with Cafu and Kaka edited in are so hard to beat, Shevchenko, Rivaldo and Rui Costa scoring so often and Maldini and Nesta getting in the way.

Anyone else think some players are way too over-rated and some way too under-rated? Prime examples are Shevchenko, Ljungberg who is one of the best players in the game and Rivaldo and under-rated players are RVN, Duff and Aimar. Aimar and RVN are good, but nowhere near as good as in real life.

I thought the goal keepers were improved this time. They were really bad in PES2, and although they still let in some easy goals on the whole they are pretty good i though.

Speaking of the players though, i too have seen some who dont have the stats that they deserve. I few of the players i bought for my master league team on the last game arent even good enough anymore. Still, there are plenty of players to choose from. I happened to buy Pires, and hes brilliant. Kewell will also be arriving pre season!

I'm going to buy PES3 because im gonna get fifa 2004, its going to be much better and the official team and player names make it much better. Plus, ive heard of the new off the ball control where you can control other players at the same time. eg. to make quick runs to break down the defence of the other team.

Don't waste your money on PES3, buy Fifa 2004, it will be much much better!!!
