pifft give me Pro Evo Soccer

09/09/2007 perth

Reynaldo7 says:

Why Pro Evo sounds asif though it's off it's game and the Fifa franchise is always gaining ground on PES every year. And with the full licence of clubs it just makes a more genuine football game in my opinion. Fifa's gameplay is fine anyways I don't see why soo many people try to bag it out soo much.

Bev says:

I would have to agree with what you said Reynaldo the full licences of clubs and players alone has me won over because I'm such a big fan of the sport and the gameplay is not all that bad and is improving each year!

09/09/2007 Adelaide, SA

Reynaldo7 says:

Only thing I hate about Fifa is the top footballing leagues don't have at least half the stadiums in there.

I'm a spurs fan so it's dissapointing to see White Hart Lane, one of the most popular grounds to go and watch football at in england, is never included year after year.

I hope there are some Australian grounds in the game to, at least give us a home ground for the Australian National team if not afew A-League teams!

hugo says:

Norrath says:  

Hey is it me, or is it really slow to download?

This is wayy too slow! I normally download 1mb a sec, and now im barely touching dial up speed, 1% done and it's been 40mins.

II'm pretty sure the servers in the UK are getting hammered!

Is anyone else slow?

Scrap that, I went to the official uk ps3 forum and apparently they are dedicating more resources to the servers, still slow but.

This game will be massive, but if they can't handle 1 sport game, how about killzone 2 demo or mgs4?

Reynaldo7 says:

My speed isn't too bad could it be something to do with where you live? I'm on 50% all up should take me 30mins I reckon but my downloads have a tendency to speed up nearing the end.
