This is the definitive Pro Evo online match up thread, we do not discriminate between consoles the only bias here is me kicking all your asses with Liverpool, we don't care if you don't like the Sixaxis pad for the game all we care is that Liverpool wins the league with a last gasp win against Man Utd and Chelsea get relegated.

Pro Evo league roster
PES ID section added.

I'll add a Wii section if/when someone tells me how the Wii online works, it doesn't come out till January so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

So far

36 PSN ID's have been submitted.

8 Xbox 360 GT's have been submitted.

2 PC people.

Awe nobody loves the PS2.

It's never too late to sign up to the match up thread no matter what console you own.

Online features

Konami seem to have gone a little backwards here, it's a carbon copy of the PS2's online, for the PS3 you need to enter a 20 digit product key which is on the back of the manual, for the Xbox 360 there doesn't seem to be the need for such, also when you log on you can have up to 3 different names to an account so I've added a PES ID section in the PS3 PES list someone will have to clarify what it's like in the Xbox 360 version.

There doesn't seem to be cross platform play either. :/

"Konami Digital Entertainment has uncovered issues which can affect the online gameplay quality of PES 2008 on PLAYSTATION 3. We are working at full strength to find a solution as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience. Further announcements will be made as soon as we have additional details."

Yay an online patch on the first day woooooo, I'm so glad I never got the PC version.

Let's get it on

Who shall have the biggest ego of gaf, who will be the unfairly overpowered player this time, will those ****tards stop disconnecting when I score a goal against them with Crouch I know it's shameful but BE A MAN.

Now I can dive IN the game hur hur hur.

The ectasy of winning in the last minute, the satisfaction of scoring from 30 yards, patting yourself on the back when everything goes right, breaking your controller in two when nothing does, the one the only Pro Evolution Soccer. :D

Tournaments
Gaf PES Tournament rules.

First to enter a Gaf tournament you must register to http://www.pesrankings.com/ and search for whatever tournament I've specified in this matchup thread, by clicking My Event then typing in the name of said event.

Now that you've entered the Gaf Tournament the event will be held over the weekend (normally) it is your job personally to organize a time with whoever you've been paired up with to play your fixture.

It is important that when you've finished a fixture with your opponent that you BOTH log into Pesrankings and enter the result when the match is over.

The Finals of said Tournament will be held at 10PM on Sunday the latest, if everyone has finished their fixtures early and you can both agree to a time beforehand then you're welcome to.

Setting up matches
The person who is playing at Home is the one who starts a room and invites the person who is away when creating a room set invitations to limited to prevent any unwanted intruders.

During the rules set the condition to normal so everyone has a fair shot and prevents any players (particularly star players) with the dreaded grey down bar... it also stops people like Ronahldino and his vile dribbling (VILE I tell you VILE) from having the red up arrow as well.

Enjoy

I know my team will probably loose a lot of matches, but I SHALL score against you even if the match ends with a score of 20 - 1 in your favor :p.

Its kinda hard to organize some matches between gaffers. :p Online features are so scarce in PS3 version. :p They could at least implement a fucking password for rooms. how hard can it be?

Yeah... plus it doesn't look to use the PSN list at all it's like they bolted on the online from the PS2 with less features, will eventually try online when I'm happy how I play in general, hopefully after that'll be when they patch fix it.

I think the teleporting balls would drive me nuts.

Sigh, why could not Seabass start developing the new online sub-sytem with a dedicated group of people alongside PES6's creation as that game only evolved the system already in place ?

I can understand that re-writing the online code from scratch for a game in a single year for multiple consoles is hard, but I am a consumer... I can sympathize with Konami's devs, but I want to have a functioning product. I find the gameplay improved (especially how the players resist to defender's pressure much better... they do some of th work needed to dribble them themselves :)), but graphics and online functionality are not up to the level they should be (crowds in replay are a pixellated mess, tearing is evident in some gameplay situations: free kicks too). Still, hopefully a patch will fix things.

Registered, joining as soon as I can boot the PS3 and PES 2008.

Edit: I am still a bit unsure how this service will keep track of the stats...

Not sure either, I think we have to imput the results manually, which is good because that allows almost flexi time organising the matches.

Been looking at different flash sites for this stuff, and if it all can be done on PESrankings.com it'll be excellent.

No the rooms haven't been setup we're doing it tomorrow around 6PM GMT.

p.s. how about team choices for the tourney? I mean thats going to be important.
Obviously, all of it isnt all too serious right now, since game is just laggy as hell, but still, playing vs Barcelona will be really hard for anyone.

I'm learning more and more about this site now.

When I generate the fixtures, no-one else can sign on so I'll generate and post the fixtures at 4PM GMT, so I'll see if I can get last minute entrants today.

Yeah but if they genuinely support Barca you can't just tell them no because their team is too good. :lol

yeah, why not... for now... if after patch, we get serious league going on, we will have to have serious rules :D.

I will have to learn to play with some other team.

BTW... can we do it 4-5 PM GMT? OR 9-10 PM GMT?

That sucks, I thought it was 6pm gmt. :(

You was supposed to join the Gaf tourny event on the website before 6PM, so you could enter the draw for the tournament.

Also, ranked or unranked?

Unranked

I'm going Liverpool.
