Phube Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 How do you play a REALLy long ball? Further than the screen allows you to? You want to play HOOF-ball... on a computer game?? Are you Graham Taylor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 No, I wanted to play AMAZING football, spraying the ball 60 yards to a free winger. The type of ball Tom Huddlestone plays. I want my centre backs to play stunning 70 yards ball to put strikers clean through. I want to switch wings in an instant. I want to play cross-field diagonal balls to my playing off the shoulder striker. And yeah, sometimes I want to hoof that fucking ball out of my box!!!

dazzybee Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Tom Huddlestone is the best passer in the premiership, he's going to be a phenomenal player!! I can't wait for this game, just hope defending isn't annoying!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomma1000 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 looks like in the vid they were controllin the player 2 do a slidin tackle but not the basic 1 which is a shame as it seems so simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 its called "winning eleven 2008 - playmaker" for a reason next year it is "winning eleven 2009 - centre back" cant wait for "winning eleven 2010 - goalkeeper" bet £20000000000000 and turok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I am really excited by this game, I think it looks fantastic! I bought ONM yesterday to read the review.. and I wish I hadn't.. the review was pretty awful, not enough detail. The first thing I noticed when flicking through the pages though was the quote about the defensive controls. I was thinking- please tell me they haven't messed that up! The proof of the Playmaker pudding will be in the eating though.. On an attacking side of things, I see lots of potential- it looks great! I have felt that, although I enjoy them loads, the last few Pro Evolution Soccers on the PS2 have felt all too familiar. This is totally different and I think it will feel great. Lets hope the defensive side of things is more interactive than what ONM suggests.. I'm sure it is.. the magazine was awful this month.. only bought it for PES 2008.. The videos on the internet give a much greater impression than the poor review.. I'm still really excited to play this! Come on Merseyside Red!

I'm sure it will be though, they don't seem to have cut any corners and watching the advanced techniques trailer and other ones it looks as if it will be awesome. Really look forward to going up against you guys online. Bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really look forward to going up against you guys online. Bring it on! Good lad! I expect a PM of your friend code on the 28th March The thing that concerns me is if you are not able to specifically select the man you want to defend with. I always felt one of my strengths was with my blocking, tackling and my interceptions.. so maybe I will have to change my game in that regard Thankfully I'm usually pretty good at passing the ball around, being really patient, wait for openings.. a tactic this game seems perfectly suited for : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Good lad! I expect a PM of your friend code on the 28th March You can expect one from me too.

I'll make sure to give you mine too! I hope I get it a day before release (like Mario Strikers Charged Football) so I can get in a bit of early practice.

Don't quote me but I think Ive seen a vid where you select the individual you want to, to mark the player.(s) I hope the camera can be zoomed out quite a lot as I would like to see all the movement and almost the entire width of the pitch, so I can make my runs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intensity Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Interesting concept and its amazing to see Konami actually take such a risk, cos tbh they usually play it very safe with the Pro Evo series as the last few versions proved. I hope it comes off, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomma1000 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 yeah its hard 2 tell as in all the videos it seems 2 work really well but suppose when we get a chn ace 2 play it we will know how well it actually works 4 a normal gamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it comes off, but I doubt it. Tbh I think its a calculated risk as its on the Wii and not Ps3 or 360. Pro's been getting a bit stale lately so Im glad they've stepped up.

blender Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm suprised they used the Pro-evolution brand. I would be more inclined to take risks with the ISS brand... especially after ISS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thank goodness it is Pro Evo.. I was delighted when it was announced! Fifa just doesn't interest me and I have been a Pro fan since ISS Pro on the PS1! I'm excited for a new control scheme and a different way to play! If I want to play with normal controls, I'll play on my brother's PS2.. Wish it would hurry up and get released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Yeh.. I preordered a while ago when it was £34.99 on Play.com but when I was ordering Mario Kart the other day I noticed my order now said £29.99 (yay) ..I'm looking forward to March and April! And though this has probably already been posted ages ago, I think this s the best video (certainly in terms of seeing the controls) PES2008 Playmaker - General Gameplay/Controls Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
