Paging blablurn, paging blablurn!

http://www.winningelevenblog.com/news/pes-2009-option-file-wenb-needs-you/

With WENB set to receive the final version of PES 2009 imminently, work has already started on the option file. Unlike the situation last year, we have plenty of time to complete a fantastic piece of work. With Mr Carl Brooks completing prep work for all the logo’s and sponsors for all unlicensed teams, WENB turns to the fans for help with the stats!

And I think you guys will provide the perfect resource for us lot who are focused on creating the best option file for the games release.

Like I mentioned Carl has the kits sorted, what we’re after is expert advice on player stats and appearence on the entire German Bundesliga - AND also the unlicened teams in the Spanish La Liga.

If you have any advice on how to get this info, or want to contribute in collating this data for us then please drop me an email at : adybhatti@gmail.com. Just make sure you title the subject ‘Option File’!

Help us help you!

cheers guys!

Well, I'm not sure whether or not you are pants on head retarted, but there definitely isn't a PES demo on the US store ;)

Make a euro account and download it.

Doh, why didn't I think of that. Is there an online guide on setting up a euro account? Or do I just use a new e-mail and say I live in England when signing up (with a new screename)?

Yeah, just did that. Thanks for all the quick responses everyone. As far as PSN knows, I now live at the Ritz in London.

I can't wait to get home and try the demo out. I haven't upgraded since Winning Eleven 8. Played the Fifa demo and wasn't to impressed, I'm hoping that the controls in the new Pro Evo are at least close to what I remember. That and I'm prepared to not score on crosses quite as often. Please be good Pro Evo, I want to upgrade this year!

Here at the PESFan Office we have received final copies of PES2009 to review & answer questions about. The reviews won't be up until the embargo is lifted but we can answer some of the questions you have about the game now.

Some of the more common questions, like is Berbatov at Man Utd(the answer being no), will be edited into this post for quick reference.

Ask away!

Update

- Squads are the same as the review versions, so Berbatov at Tottenham, Culler at Rangers etc Basically the sqauds are out of date
- Maximum of 4 players online
- Full edit mode available
- 8 camera angles to choose from

Trust me on this things don't change they just get more archaic, I reviewed the series from Winning Eleven 8 and to be honest WE10 was the best they did.

The player rosters are always out of date...without fail.

The online segment is abysmal... they may as well take it out. Its shoddy and takes an age to register just to get into a game which will lag ridiculously.

Im no longer reviewing games these days. Pro always been a favourite but online it sucks balls.

I will get the game but play it online? not on your nelly

pers6 360 was appalling with its ice skating players and ridiculous AI.

The ps2 versions have been the best thus far.

I never experienced "ice skating players"....ridiculous AI? Not anymore so that any other offline PES game. The PS2 versions lagged for me majorly, it wasn't until I played PES6 on the 360 online that I realised smooth online play was possible in any game.

Yes because the game automatically loads up the default option file when you go online so any offline edits made to any teams/players do no carry over online.

Played the shit out of the demo. I'm now playing on the highest difficulty and what currently strikes me the most is the way the CPU choses the next player. It's retarded. If a new player gets chosen as 1P he just stops at what ever he was doing before. Especially in critical situations like when you run after a player of the rival team or in the penalty box it's very noticeable and annoying. And there are even situations where the CPU just doesn't go for the ball. They lose in a header duell and nothing happens. The ball is rolling somewhere else besides them and they just stay around. Or if you do passes. The system just doesn't chose the next player near you but you pass the ball somewhere else, because you tilted the stick slightly else...

not really, in fact it is much better than in PES08... In 09 demo, you can continue running, in 08 game, there were some situations were you player would definetly stop when changed to.

Same goes for team mates AI - it expects you to change to the player, but in any case, it is best AI implementation in any football game to date.

i am sure they are... 08 had similar system too, probably even worse as there you had to remember your registration code and use that to login (if you were to play on some other ps3, obviously it was saved on yours)...

what does that mean? you played 08 demo and you agreed with me that 09 is better?

Players not stopping when you change to them is one of the major improvements over 08... if you do it right, obviously you have to continue in the same direction are your player was going or else you will stop.

Konami stated there will be downloadable content midyear to reflect these changes. Some of these out-of-date rosters at launch is due to licensing issues, from what I understand, and not so much as some lazy dude at his computer refusing to do a simply player transfer.

PESfan now has the game and the staff said it plays better than the demo. That shouldn't be too surprising considering the final version of FIFA 09 reportedly plays much better than its demo.

If you've already got a Konami account then it shouldn't take long the game will remember after you log on the first time, it's called auto log in.

And this might be a good thing more than bad, it means community features for online might actually exist.

If you haven't got a konami account before getting this game, then godspeed. o\

Hopefully they'll release mandatory updates in order to go online. Sooner rather than later.
