I hear the pes2008 ps2 version isn't better than pes6, you're better of with pes6 + a patch or an updated option file.
its not that great on teh ps3 but once you get into it its still miles betetr than fifa on the ps2

just cant wait for it to hit the wii with its wii specific control system

PS3 hadnt PES 2007, so it cant be worse or even the same...though the game looks unpolished, rushed and has unstable framerate!

The PS2 version, looks a bit better, fresh than last year and have new updated rosters,thew new menu simulates the next gen gaming,
if you cant patch the PES for PS2, its the only choice. If you can, you may stick with PES 5!

The pc version is a real evolution, its a huge leap forward, pc gamers make whole generation step, forward, from a PS2 port, we get a xbox360 port!
Plus the fact

    Basically, I have just had my best ever match on PES, online mode, ever.

    I created a game and waited for someone to come join. I naturally picked Juventus, and he picked Real Madrid. I picked striped kits and he picked white kits, colour clash :(
    I started with this formation:

    Buffon
    Sali-Andrade-Boum-Chiellini
    Camo-Almiron-Tiago-Nedved
    Del Piero
    Iaquinta

    With my two wingers attacking minded.

    I kicked off, got a few passes in and went into a passing game to get to their goal. He went in fast and ready. Boumsong got the ball, he went to kick it, scuffed it, it hit Saviola in the head, Robinho took the ball and outpaced Boum, cut it back for Van Horseyface, who shot, great save Buffon, Boum got it on the 6 yard box, turned, got tackled by Robinho, who shot, Buffon got in the way, it rebounds off Gigi into Ruuds chest and goes in. 1-0 them. Half time.

    Second half, I make no changes. I attack and attack. Cassilas makes at least 3 great saves before we reach the hour. On 70 mins, there is a corner, Pavel special, goes to Boumsong :)moan:) who puts it at least 6 feet wide of the right post from a header. I keep attacking. He is also attacking and could have doubled his lead without superman there. On 80 mins a cross comes in, Iaquinta is the only one in the box and it goes straight to him. He misses it with a volley. It isn't my day. On 85 mins Del Piero shoots from distance, low and hard. It goes past the post. On 87 mins Chiellini takes a shot from 35 yards, it hits the crossbar, goalie beaten. Goal kick taken short, I push the magical square button to call Iaquinta chasing the ball. He gets it, passes to Tiago, triangle and Chiellini is off. Circle! It goes to the penalty area, Square! Iaquinta doesn't win the header, it goes out to Nedved, SQUARE! SHOOT!, it hits Pepe who fouls Iaquinta, gets sent off. Del Piero freekick. 20 yards. Him vs goalie. NO! Parried. It is cleared, 90 mins and 1 min of stoppage time. SQUARE! Camo shoots, it goes past the mass of people in the penalty area, it curls past the goalie! Fuck yeah! :smoke:

    Extra time, they are a man down. He attacks like a rash, Superman matching all of Ruuds and Saviolas shots. Half time in extra time. I make 2 changes. Since I attack from the wings, I want to add fresh legs there. I put Camo in the centre of the midfield, and I sub Tiago off for Marchionni. Chiellini is tired, I sub him off for Zebina. Throw in. Zebina takes it to Boum, who passes it back to Zebina. R1! NO! FOUL! Cut scene shows Zebina pushing Robinho, with the ref trying to break it up! Free kick Juventus. In these 15 mins I want to score. I attack, shoot left and right. He gets at least one attack. Iaquinta misses another sitter of a chance. Del Piero is being outpaced easily on his tired legs, but I need him for the pk shoot out. 5 mins remaining. Camo picks the ball up in the middle of the park, the Real Madrid back line are sitting back. Nedved makes a run, TRIANGLE + L1! Perfect ball! Pavel takes a touch and cheekily taps it past Cassilas. 2-1! Fucking hell! Get in! Orgasms feel great!

    FT Juventus 2 - 1 Real Madrid

    Match stats: Juve - Real Madrid
    Shots: 25 - 18
    On target: 13 - 12
    Fouls: 11 - 14
    Yellow cards: 1 - 1
    Red cards: 0 - 1
    Possession: 52 - 48

    The great thing is that as soon as Nedved scored, I got the camcorder out and recorded it. Ill upload it tomorrow, but it was lovely.

    Forza Juve! :scudetto:

    I would have said Fifa is awful had I not played this years version before. It is actually pretty good.

    I prefer PES though, fanboy.

    i played fifa 08 for wii and ps2 and i don't see much of an improvement. the players still run the same stiff, robotic way with lame dribbles, and it is very easy to pass your way into the opposition area.

    how do you like the PS3 ??

    I heard that it has some bugs that havent been worked out yet
    I have had my PS3 since April this year, and I love it. It has been described as a home entertainment system and I really think it deserves that title. Every 2 - 4 weeks there is a system update on it, which installs new options available for you to use, and there is also game updates which add features to games. For example; on my game, Warhawk (shooter, combat style game which is based with online play), there are numerous islands which you can have team battles on. Only recently more vehicles/island were added for about €4, if I remember correctly. It also helps me for when a new game is coming out, and whether I should buy it or not. The Playstation Store has demo's of games weeks before they are released and it has trailers of new games. There is an internet on the thing, you can store video, music and photos on it through using a memory device. You can add friends who have one, so you can play against them. Its not my life, but I really needed it because I was Playstation-less when I dropped my PS2 in November 2006.

    The only trouble I have ever had with it, was setting up the connection to the internet with it through my wireless Belkin (router). Apart from that, it is great. To keep a healthy PS3 just keep it well away from heaters and direct sunlight, and make sure it is in a clear gap to operate.

    on ps3 three, even on semi-pro its so hard to pass your way through. the through balls are so hard to do. they cut it out easily. and on ps3 the dribbling is realistic as well as the movement and the graphics are amazing. it is an amazing game
