"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

Where are the proper team name lists ? half of the teams i don't have a clue who they are! :(

I've found this incredible thing you can do in training.

First off go into Free Training with Real Madrid, and then go to Corner Kick (right sided) in the training menu. Set the corner kicker to Zidane, and put either Guti or Roberto Carlos (preferably him) in the position where Makelele normally plays. Taking the corner, turn as far away from the goal as you can, and put as much swerve on the ball as possible to take the ball even further away from the goals.

Then, apply a full power cross, which should avoid all the players in the box, and head perfectly for Guti/Bobby C, who is hovering about 30 yards out, and who can strike and absolutely magnificent left footed volley.

I've not actually managed to score yet, but I hit the post and it bounced out. I saved the replay.

Been on the game today with my little bro, i scored a quality free-kick, curled it through a two players in the wall straight into the bottom left hand corner, i've saved it - my second free kick that i've scored now, i also lobbed barthez using O from a free-kick with Lampard, a very cheeky chip - I love this game!

Asia-Oceanian - 1000 points
American - 1000 points
African - 1000 points
European - 1500 points
International - 2000 points

International League - 2500 points

Best 5 players:

Ivanov (As good as most keepers on the game, and has kept me in it at times)
Castello (You can tell he's Brazilian)
Burchet (Very fast and much better than he used to be)
Valery (Strong and solid at the back)
Espinas (An excellent winger)

5 players who were good but got worse:

Cellini (He's got all old and slow :()
Miranda (What happened to his sharp shooting?)
Stromer (Used to be the best defender but now just average)
Baroja (Like a donkey...)
Matt (Used to be super fast, but now... hmm)

I will be playing the game on monday, looks good though

Burchet's very good, I don't remember him being this good. Huygens is better than Baroja, Castello in mine is out with a red injury, where the stretcher guys come on and carry him off. Free kicks are difficult, they seem to dip randomly.

How many PES points do you get for winning the Asia/Europe/South America etc leagues?

Graphics seem to be a bit blurred.

Yep, but free training rules with the Prince of Persia style rewind.

Indeed. Been playing it for months now and I can honestly say this game doesn't get boring, it gets more exciting.

Is, but some dude already said so I won't bother.

Most likely.

Your mate must have a patch for WE7, because WE7 has even more outdated squad list than PES3. Me? I have Keane, Kanoute, Postiga, and Zamora to choose from ;)
