I’m seriously down on PES2008. I only play Master League and it’s ridiculously easy once you get a squad of even average players (the Defaulters being a long way below average).

Your mention of online is interesting - I might give that a go for a while. Has the quality improved? It’s worth a look.

The new angle for your website sounds interesting - hope you get it fixed up soon.

I am back. How’s things?

Earthquake, that’s a shocker, I clicked on your link, I hadn’t heard anything, Although I have slept the past couple of days since coming home and not seen any TV.

Sorry to hear your not enjoying PES and finding it easy. Are you finding it easy on the cup competitions also? I must be on the minority, that I think it’s an improvement on PES6. The defending is harder, I have totally changed in how I play this version, using the Super Cancel function which is taking me a while to master, but makes for realistic defending, which has maybe has kept my interest longer. Playing online against the Barcas/Man U/Inter’s with Celtic is also a challenge. I also try not to go on long mazy dribbles (which are easier on this version). These all help maintain my interest.

I alternate between PES, Tiger Woods, Virtua Tennis, Call of Duty and arguably the best game on PS3 Uncharted Drakes Fortune (traded in PSP Fifa08 and £18 for it) a mixture of Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones, I am enjoying playing it. This also keeps my interest in PES.

I have changed my blog, I have just started the 2nd season in my ML career. New address http://www.pes-fanatic.co.uk.
