well, im sorry that this has absolutely nothing to do with your post (apologies) but i have had pes 2008 only a matter of short weeks before xmas, and i am already sadly agreeing to the points you are making here.

As the first PES to hit a 3rd gen console, i was expecting nothing short of a real match between two teams playing realistic football, one of which i would be controlling. instead PES has become arcade like, and to say the least i am dissapointed.

to further my argument about how s**t PES is, the game doesn’t even know the offside rule.

“A player is in an offside position if:
he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent”

this rule does not and can not apply if the ball is infront of the player. i know this as i often ref on saturdays and did a FA coaching course
i went to the byline (or near it) with my winger and crossed it into the box. the ball was met with my players head and ended up in the net, only for the linesman to raise his flag. HOW CAN THAT BE!!!!! i was rather annoyed and just needed to let someone know about this. i just couldn’t beleive that a game about football doesn’t even know the rules.

I won the treble with that lineup last season, and I’m challenging for it again. I’ll make sure to take a pic of Kim’s stats to post on the net. He’s absolutely amazing. Currently at the top of the goal ranking with 184 goals, and he’s only 22. He’s slotted in 5 goals in a single game twice this season. I’m afraid I’ll have to either sell him or keep him in the bench, as this is becoming way too easy.

ck – Every PES (even 2008) has been the same – thankfully! However *down* I am on PES2008, at least the initial ML stages are as much of a slog as ever. But, yes, after a few games with the defaulters I start to wonder what I’m doing. Why not just start an ML with a custom team like almost everyone else seems to? I’ve tried it a few times in the past but it just doesn’t feel right.

MIrandinha – That First XI looks *awesome*. Mouthwatering, even. Prieto – I haven’t mentioned him yet this year but for the past couple of years he was a rock for me.

I looked for Kim Cyun Hi in the mid-seasons just gone but he wouldn’t come to my team. It surprised me, seeing how many other players would. Maybe next time.

Hehe, I can totally relate cklarock.
Totally randomly out of topic, I’m currently playing what I can the ultimate Konami players super team, let me know if you guys agree:
Fredriksson GK
Guimarães RB
Mattsson CB
Bos CB
Doesburg LB
Prieto DMF
Bradley CMF
Kaiser AMF
Shaw LWF
Gambino RWF
Kim Cyun Hi CF

Playing 4-3-3. Kim has scored about 130 goals in 4 seasons. He’s currently at his peak. I’ll take a pic of his development graph and stats to post later. I’ve developed a great fondness for this new Konami player. I say new because I had never seen him in other versions of the game.
