Posted March 26, 2008 my copy was being picked and packed last night! woohoo! should be on its way today... ..meh.. mine is still in the 'preordered' stage on Play.com. I'm not confident of this being here by friday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 Not quite sure what to make of this. I read a review on IGN where the writer was creaming himself over it, praising its 'revolutionary' control scheme and shouting about how it was the first 'soccer' game he'd enjoyed in ages. The fact that the game has persuaded some fat American to write such praise can either mean it really is a fantastic experience, or dumbed down in order to grab the attention of said fat American. I'm hoping the former is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping the former is true. I think its plain to see that the wealth of attacking techniques this opens up more than proves that it is not dumbed down... anyway my preorder now reads.... 26/03/2008 09:10:46 Your order has been dispatched. :yay: :yay: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 I think its plain to see that the wealth of attacking techniques this opens up more than proves that it is not dumbed down... Still not convinced. I guess I'll have to wait and see how it plays. It's a shame they didn't just include classic controller support as a back up though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want classic controller go out and play the other versions...it would have led to a disjointed online experience if people were using two radically different control systems...

Posted March 26, 2008 I just think it would be nice to have 'classic' Pro Evo and 'intriguing remote waggling' Pro Evo in the same package, rather than having to buy it twice each year. Although I suppose if that latter does turn out to be shit I won't have that problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 What if the latter turns out to be way better than 'classic'? Mine hasn't been dispatched Which means it won't be here tomorrow, meaning I can't play it til monday!!! Devastated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I suppose if that latter does turn out to be shit I won't have that problem... you dont have to buy it twice...I'm gonna see what this is like and base the next update on this, especially seem as both the 360 and PS3 versions have seem stagnant from the last gen versions...

Posted March 26, 2008 Oh, don't get me wrong, I hope the Wii controls turn out to be truly revolutionary and offer depth beyond that we're used to from PES. I just can't see it being anything more than a bit of novelty fun. I hope I'm wrong and I'm looking forward to finding out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 ..my Play.com order now says 'Packing' ..so, no chance that it will come tomorrow, but as long as it is dispatched later today, I can at least hope it will be here by Friday.. I had to wait til the Tuesday after No More Heroes came out.. I don't think I could do that again for this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 I really wish i had enough money for this game! I t looks great and /nando/ really got me interested in it! But i just about have enough for Mario Kart Wii! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 I tell ya nando me old mate, get yourself preordering from game...their prices are getting better all the time and so far out of 4 preorders since I started using them, they havn't let me down... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 Play.com used to do the business for me.. I got Excite Truck and Mario Strikers: Charged Football the day before release. As long as it comes on Friday, there's no problem.. but I have been really wanting this game and if I have to wait a few extra days to get it, I'm gonna fall behind all you guys with a lack of practice.. which sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 I think it will take us all a bit of practice to nail this new way of thinking and playing...I cannot wait...fingers crossed it turns up 2moro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2008 You've all likely watched these before but theres no harm for a quick refresher before its released: http://uk.wii.com/software/26/index.html Gotta say, I'm not looking forward to defending. Attacking looks too good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 26, 2008 Attack like Asrenal? What, score in the final minute? I'd rather attack like Spurs - goals over the place, both ends, never know what's going to happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
