Barrs Court Red Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Who's got it? I'm glad the long ball is finnally a deadly weapon, which foriegn folk don't seem to be able to deal with haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Of The Dolman Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 The commentary on 360 version is great got most of the City players on there had Martin Tyler screaming Trundlllllllle just as he let one fly from the edge of the area into the top corner. Big improvement on last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesM Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've got it, i have to say it's awesome. The only two annoyances I've come across so far are: the be a pro doesn't appear to be configurable, which means you have to wait for 20 players to sort themselves out and it takes bloody ages. Then, you get 10 players aside thinking they are all attacking players and the game turns into a farce. When a goal is scored, the cut to animation is the very nanosecond the ball crossed the line which means you rarely see the ball hit the back of the next cos the camera is off follwing the goalscorers celebrations (which are player controlled now btw).

Barrs Court Red Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Anyone find Maynard a lightweight waste of space? 14 games in and a new keeper has been draughted in through my scouting network which also produced a nice attacking winger who can play left or right. The longball game seems to work a dream with Dele upfront, he's scored 11 so far, although the goals are drying up as the online play has put me off my game against the AI. Talking of online, the replays are geting on my tits. Massive mistake not being able to turn them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS10 RED Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I got it and i think its pretty good much better than last year. i like the picking your own goal celebration that's pretty cool and yes by far Dele is the best striker city got on the game.

Ryan 7 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I thought maynard is quite good, signed amir zaki for a bargain of 500k, loaned out a few players and sold 3 most noticably brooked for 400k. Good busines I think! 3rd in league 10 games gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdc1978 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I am very much liking it too! Put myself in CM in pro mode for City not realising I've left it on AMATUER mode! 16 games and 40 odd goals for myself in and I might as well keep now I'm getting noticed and might get picked for England reserves soon! (wtf?) I can imagine the 10 v 10 being schoolboy football though, everyone wants the ball and if they can't get it, they kick people and get sent off I'm up for a league as well if someone wants to get one going on here!

Hydey Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah i got it and i think its great What level are you all playing it at? amatuer, semi pro, pro, world class?

BristolCity1992 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Fairly decent not in love with it though I only got it yesterday and I am a staunch PES man to be honest. I started by playing Semi-Pro with manual shooting passing everything and I must admit I struggled badly so I changed to Semi assisted on all of them and that has seen better results only signed one player and that was Harper from Reading and a loan player from Inter. Think I am 16th after 10 games but since I have changed to semi assisted I have lost one and won 2 I am going to get back to manual and probably knock it up to Pro soon.

WesM Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 The offside rule is too precise and the referees are over fussy with the advantage rule being applied ass-backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadle Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've been playing it on PC and very much enjoying it, although the players likenesses aren't very good (Trundle is bald as a coot, and Fontaine is fully caucasian). Hoping to get a 360 soon though. In the meantime, is anyone else playing the PC version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanC Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yes I'm playing on the PC, I took City up via the play offs in my first season. We lost the first leg to Wolves Away 4-1 but then I went on and hammered them 9-3 in the second leg and beat Brum 3-0 in the final. Struggles to start with in the prem and I was one game away from being sacked but I pulled it together by winning 5 on the trot and got the the FA cup quarter finals. Due to the shitty transfer system I've suffered. I always set my ticket prices as high is that a good thing to do? My line up is like this, ----------Waterman---------- ------Domingos--- Oriol----- Degan--Campbell--Wellington Mayrata Gual-Eliott- Asamoah -----Antuncci---Mclean----- Prem teams were ripping through my defense so I figured if I overloaded the defence then it would be OK and it worked a treat, The pace of Mclean really sets my counter attacking tactic up.

Guest Eamer Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Does it annoy anyone else that you can't assign squad numbers and they keep replacing the number 2? Because of this I've decided not to sign any players so my first team is: Henderson Ribeiro Walker J.Wilson Fontaine Artus Elliott Skuse Myrie-Williams Maynard Plummer Oh and I wouldn't say the players were spot-on... Artus? A Left Winger? ... Maynard? White? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 What game are you playing?! On mine, Maynard is mixed race Henderson, Ribeiro, Wilson, and Artus arent even on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadle Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think Eamer is talking about the 360 version, as I noticed Maynard was white in that build. In the PC build he is black, but Fontaine is white. Other than that the character models seem the same. Such a shame we aren't allowed to edit them, for licensing reasons. Orr looks like Desperate Dan. Still the generic stadium is not far off Ashton Gate, which is nice, and there's plenty of Name-specific commentary strings on the 360 version, although the relegated Championship teams seem to have their entire squads name checked in the commentary. I like the way the announcer calls out the squads over the PA, on the console version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambodinho Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Oh and I wouldn't say the players were spot-on... Artus? A Left Winger? ... Maynard? White? Artus is a left footed centre midfielder is he not? Maynard also looks white on the xbox 360 version. As does Agbonlahor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easton boy Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Got it for PS3 on Sunday. Having been a STAUNCH PES man since the days of smiley faces to indicate if a player was fit or not, the first Iteration on the PS3 was a MAJOR disappointment. So when my mate bought me UEFA 2008 for my Birthday, FiFA 09 was the obvious choice. The problem I have with it though, obviously I chose City, I just can't bring myself to play it on anything but Amateur, as I would hate to Lose when playing as City. When i make the step up in Level, I will definately have to change teams. BTW how do you sell players? as all I seem to be able to do is release the buggers. Also how do you negotiate contracts? Even when I make offers 50% more than what they are currently on, they still decline the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadle Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just got an Xbox for my birthday, so hopefully I'll be going online soon if people want to hook up for some matches / co-op / Become a Legend on PES. Having played both versions on Next-Gen, am sticking with PES. I'm currently playing PES 2009 on PC in Be a Legend. I'm a weedy 18 trying to play as an attacking midfielder and I keep getting bullied off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a long througball whether it be on the deck or in the air flies into dele a treat shame his passing is wayward... My current undefeated formation is as follows: Basso Orr McCoombe Carey Fontaine Williams Elliot Trundle Maynard Adebola Brooker Not sure how long I'll last defensively though!

Having always been a pro evo man(International Soccer or whatever it was), PES 2008 on the PS3 was TERRIBLE - hence why I switched to Fifa09. 2009 is as bad, IF NOT worse than 2008, me and 3 mates all got it on day of release and all massive Evo fans, within 10 days all 3 of us had flogged it, Online Laggy as ever, it took them long enough to fix 2008 online, cant be arsed to wait to fix 2009, offline the Champions League addition is nice, but not really worthy of a mention, Become a Legend is good, but no different really than the fifa version. personally, I'd stick with Fifa, which I find depressing to say as I've been a Evo/ISS man since the SNES, unfortunately the game has been over-taken finally by Fifa. thankfully I managed to get it for £27 from Asda on day of release and sold it for £29 on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
