Every now and then I tend to forget that the online forums is a generally dead place to be.

Yep, it's a wasteland unless you have a bunch of people regularly checking (i.e., a big league).

ggs kaizoku, I don't know what was going on with my timing and play the first match, but the score was reflective of how laughable it was. Good luck!

Anyone wants to play just message me or let me know.

Oh crap, my loyalties, do I play crap and let the Germans get humped by England or do I try to win and puke at the possibility of Germany beating England. :(

:lol ggs man, I need to get my head together been losing like crazy, not deciding on how i want to play defense, etc. etc. etc. I'm going to go to a video game sports psychologist I think.

wow, that was an awesome match against steroyd

Germany vs England

0:1
0:2
1:2
2:2
3:2
4:2

Suddenly steroyd makes 2 goals in the last 5 minutes.

4:4

I was a little bit shocked to be honest xD

Thank god I was lucky enough to score the two more goals. But you free-kick at the end was crazy, dude.

So, the final result was

6:5

:O

The third match was almost as crazy as the on before. Stero won 6:4 xD When you were in lead (5:1) I thought you're going to destory me now xD

Sorry for leaving! The Bayern match is going to start now! Cya later :)

I was pissed off at Robinson he kept knocking the ball into one of your players so I was like "fuck this" >:| and tried to dribble to goal from kick-off, was surprised that actually worked.

And how come I always seem to score a freekick at the last minute with you, and you alsways seemed to score a goal whenever i'm 2-0 up, that was annoying.
 

Blablurn

you know what? we both suck in terms of defense XD

First 7:6 and then 5:6. Damn, these game are so crazy because almost every attack become a goal XD

And yeah, the offside goal in the 90th minute of the second game pissed me off T_T

If only, the ball warps around the pitch, which makes it hard to defend, that and the 4-3-3 formation is a bitch in terms of when you get countered.

Yeah the problem I usually have re lag is that just run right past the ball so many times that it's almost useless for me to try anything on D (and I love playing D). It just throws my timing and strategy off entirely. The few lag-free games I have had have all been much lower scoring.

Konami have simultaneously fixed and broken online with the patch, both me and Blaburn have 3 bars, but when we get on the pitch it's 2 bars it wasn't like that before. o_O

you know what sucks? I hate it when it seems like the person has 3 green lights but after picking him up he has just 1 or 2 bars. Especially during ranking matches. oh man...
 

Charles

That actually happens a lot to me too, someone with 3 bars challenges me to a match, I accept, the match starts and suddenly he's down to 1 bar or red circle.

But, there doesn't seem to be that much lag even then, certainly not enough to justify a red circle. My guess is that there's a bug in the lag reporting area. It's impossible that everyone's connection becomes shit as soon as the game starts.

Nice matches Blablurn, that 4-3-3 scheme really makes fullbacks work 24/7, my poor guys were totally exhausted at the end. :) Sorry about leaving early, I actually didnt want to play 3d match since my son woke up already and was trying to get controller for himself. :) He was hanging on my hands all the match, was kinda hard to concentrate. :)
 

Blablurn

Member
no problem dude! these were 3 tough matches and I had some luck XD Looking forward to some more games against you!

@all: I finally bought a headset. so, if you don't mind to listen to my poor english play against me XD

It's really hard to defend in PES this year ; ; Especially against people playing with Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, Henry and Deco at the same time :(

>_<

That's twice in 2 days I get asked to play Pro Evo and BOTH TIMES I don't arrive at my PS3 until an hour later, I suck. :mad:

nevermind steroyd! =)

well played, kinan! I sucked hard today :] Don't know why :\

Yea, you were not so aggressive today, and putting ribery back in the midfield was not your best decision, it gave me some breath on that side in comparison to yesterday. :)

I'm finding that I can not play more than 3 games online, fingers getting too tired. Also my controller seems to start failing me, few times today when I sprint with ball it stop to respond to face buttons, so I cant pass, shoot or whatever until I release a stick. :p Think I'll get 30 Euro Chillstream for PS3 just for PES, it doesnt have motion sensors but keep your hands cool.

Also lol at 3 penalties in last match. :)

lol

i also got some problems when i'm playing online. After winning two or three games I become arrogant XD it sucks xD

Warning: Steroyd may change during online play.

Screw Rooney in the ass, he hit the post 3 times and one of those times the ball spun off the line, what type of shitty shot does that?!

Good games Kinan, I was nearly in tears when I was 2 goals down within the first 15 minutes, I've become so much better at defence that that annoyed me.

Your defense is really good, very dense. My was quite horrible today though, I blame lag. :p Also I deffo need new controller, amount of wrong passes today was over the top.

Btw, I got PS Eye as a present today, I guess I can use it for voice chat? How do I switch that on in PES? Or was it on already? I heard you, Steroyd, but just barely, I need to tune down commentary/sfx volume i guess. Though your most desperate screams reached my ears. :)

p.s. 3 posts from Rooney was amazinga. :)

online play sucks at the moment. whoever i'm playing against the bar always switches from 1 to 3 stripes and back. it was never so bad like now.

wow, i had much luck in the first games. especially during the match germany vs. ukraine. the 3:3 in the 90th minute was surprising. I even screamed XD

You'll know it's working when he's shut out of the match, I had the same issue with Martins soon shut that guy out of the match heh heh.

stero, you are crazy man. the 7:5 was just "damn". when you made the 5:6 i almost pissed myself.

you're pretty strong. it's hard to play against you. You've become pretty strong.
 

Steroyd

:lol

I found it funny that you had to score 7 goals past me just to beat me, we sure do some insane matches. o_O

I nearly lost it when you was Bayern and Luca Toni blasted the ball through Reina and it slowly went over the line, bloody hell fix the damn keepers Konami.
I think that match I came back from 2-0 then it was 4-2 then I got 2 goals in the last 5 minutes to equalise then finished 4-6 to me in extra time.

I smiled when you was infront and had the team on defend. :)

lol, yeah. that was bad. i must almost use any chance to be able to beat you. it's challenging but funny as well :)

next time, i will use my headset as well. unfortunately the battery was low now. although i'm not that much of a speaker during a match. i'm screaming and cursing more xD

we sure do some insane matches. o_O

almost everytime, it's just sick xD

Its seems that we are only 3 people actively playing PES atm :p Where are all those guys that signed up for gaf league? I'd love some tournament

Though maybe not many reading this thread, shall we resurrect PES thread in gaming forum?

7:5? Damn, I struggle to make more than 1 through Steroyd's defense. I should work on my finishing more though, so many missed chances yesterday.
 

Steroyd

That 1-0 shut out was a freak of nature I tells ya, I was tired and I couldn't be bothered taking my team out of auto attack which was how you ended up camped in my half uncontested by anyone other than my defenders. (-_-)

My defending needs work interception in general looks to be my weak point.

:lol unfortunately GAF hype pre-release is always greatly disproportionate to any real involvement (or even purchase) post-release. Sadly there will never be another league like our huge PES4/WE9 Champions League (which sefskillz even made a website for!). Also I think a lot of people (including a few who posted here) sold back or returned their games, in large part because of the lag. I'm always up for a game whenever my PS3 is turned on, which has been sadly pretty rare recently, but should pick up now that I'm off vacation. I'm totally out of practice (haven't seriously played in almost two years now) but oh well.

I should say lag wise its ok now, for me with Blablurn its very good, with steroyd some lag is there and few occasional spikes happens, but nothing so devastating as in first weeks.

You shutting me out 1-0 will never happen again... as long as I stay wide awake.

That is one mondo disproportionate from over 30 people to.... as many post in thread.
