This month saw the release of in my opinion the best footy game for consoles yet, Pro Evolution Soccer 2.

I have waited for years for a game that would be near on a perfect simulation of the great game of football.
There have been some half decent attempts in the past, mainly by the good old EAsports with there FIFA series and even Rages Sensible Soccer was one not to be forgotten but there was always something lacking in these.

They were too arcade for me and didn't manage to grab any realism.You never quite had full control over your player, nor did you get that feeling as if you were actually there in the stadium getting so involved in the action that when the oppostition scores you get all emotional and launch your pad across the room. Maybe thats just me!

Then came ISS which was a step in the right direction but yet again wasn`t perfect and although it had some stuff that FIFA didn`t it seemed to miss out the good stuff that FIFA did have. There wasn`t as many moves to pull off and graphically it just wasn`t quite the same.
Oh yeh and then there was Terry Butcher.......

After all the hype of Pro Evolution I couldnt wait to get a copy, don`t get me wrong now I have it I absoloutely adore the game but yes yet again there are such simple things that Konami could have done to make it so much better.

The first thing that shocked me was the fact that Arsenal are called London and Man U are Manchester, rather annoying being a true gooner myself but nevertheless the players are there...well most of them anyway. You do get Greggs instead of Giggs and a few other pathetic lazy shots on target.

Why Can`t there be a Premier League game? In my opinion this would be the biggest seller , using the ISS platform but with full licensing allowing for all of the teams and all players...great! We can all wish a.

I think Konami need to smooth off the edges put a little bit more time in to development, maybe get a few real life chants from the crowd and dispose of Terry Butcher who has brought the worst commentary ever to Football only to be ruined even more on the consoles.
They should get the flags, kits, player names, player looks and even possible a few real refs (maybe not Graham Poll) involved, maybe you could even have your team bench on the sideline showing the manager and crew jumping and shouting as you score!

Realism would sell and all it takes is a bit more time and effort I think, they have the perfect game in Pro Evolution so why not spoil it and take it to the limit.

Its a great game , In fact it is superb.
I think you like it by looking at your nickname.
Anyway yeh I take your points but I just think a lot of true football fans would enjoy it so much more if them few things were changed . Im just a mad Arsenal supporter and I really would truly love it to be perfect on Pro Evo.
I DONT LIKE FIFA basically but I love the way it is all perfect in that way.
I havent actually tried turning the commentary off, Is there really real chants or are you just high when playing?

So your saying this really effect the game right? How? You still know what the teams are so whats it matter. And the names, you think of how many players there are on there, and how many are wrong, and thats not alot. Again, it does not effect the game too much does it, you know who they are talking about. As for being lazy, i think not.

Because ISS games have always been about national sides mainly and so there is no need for them. And the master league is a lot better than the boring normal one to play anyway.

Have you ever played with the volume on? granted the commentry is bad, but there are loads of real chants by the crowd in the game, i have noticed at least 10 in there.

Real player look, exscuse me but this game gets lots of the players look perfect, you can go through loads of the teams and pick out the players! As for the rest, thats going into Fifa's territory, and we dont want that!

Blue. Hence Bluebirds. Well blue and yellow really.

Next home game against Reading on Boxing Day at home. Currently 6th in Div 2 last game drew with Stoke 1-1 where we should have one had it not been for a Gabbidon own goal.

Anyway thats not interesting. Tell me more about the tennis ball?

Listen its hard to live like this alright,I dont like it, Ive never been able to play football, the teachers used to take the micky and give me a tennis ball to kick around.
I need a game that makes me feel nice, tall and athletic just like a proffesional footballer!
