Just bought this. I can't recommend it enough. Ace ace ace. and that Ronaldinho lad is pretty tasty.

Sorry but it's all about PES6 thats released on friday,

i think i may have to take a week of work...................

David · October 2006

I'm going for FIFA07. it's all about playing people you know online. I play my brother in ipswich and an old friend in bristol. andy you next. PES may be technically better, but FIFA has atmosphere and is loosely playable after 6 pints. PES is for people who like to beat the machine.

andy · October 2006

The new FIFA is rocking. PES has lost its way.....

andy · October 2006

HAve you bought F7 yet D? Want to test drive it?

David · October 2006

i will this week. still need to sort out some routing stuff, since moving in new place, but should be up and playing v. soon.

Danny · October 2006

for me PES is the connoisseur's choice of football games:

i grew up playing Fifa but was persuaded by some friends to switch allegiances a few years ago....the online gamings pretty good aswell..... i i'm not sure about enjoyng beating my machine though............ummm sounds dangerous ;)

Pete · October 2006

Can I come round and play?

David · October 2006

Welcome danny, I think it's undisputed that PES is the connoisseur's football game. I just question it's place amongst the drunken 30 something crowds that couldn't give a toss about the new move and just want to somehow beat the other drunken guy in front of them. For that, over many later nights with my bro, we've found FIFA the more light-hearted and more enjoyable. I suppose it's down to how serious you want to get. Me? I'd rather watch my football down the pub, and wing it on the PS2 later, rather than get serious on the computer moves.

Pixels beat this photo-realism nonsense every time

i used to be a football coach and so maybe thats why pro evo appeals to me,

and i whole heartly agree though, the greatest football game of all time was SWOS on the Amiga.

Ahhh a mispent youth......hours fiddling with my joystick till the early hours trying to curl one in from the corner,

David · October 2006

My dad was a football coach. He wouldn't have Thierry Henry in his team because _"he's lazy"_. And that team was Rio, for the Tollgate in Chadwell Heath. They did have AC Milan like shirts though.

*...amongst the drunken 30 something crowds that couldn't give a toss about the new move and just want to somehow beat the other drunken guy in front of them....* who could you be talking about? Sensible Soccer was ace. There was a curling cross from just inside your opponent's half that you could meet with a flying header (if your formation was set up right) that was unstoppable.

David · October 2006

Myself, my brother, my friends. Apologies Andy, I forgot you'd slipped into that age bracket. didn't mean to speak on your behalf.

Lucy · October 2006

argh! i have stumbled into sports hell, in the review section. grumble, grumble. Still the title should probably have given me a clue!

David · October 2006

Well just played my first three games. Couldn't stand it. But then I haven't played for quite a while and was reduced to losing a man per petty tackle. Generally didn't make half time before having too few men to carry on. The AI does seem really good on it. My growing reticence to apply myself to a game is, I think, perhaps proof I should be looking at Lego Football Mania, or perhaps Chuckie Egg. I probably need a good few hours play to get even remotely back in the swing of things, its been that long. I am though, very good at defensive headers.

David · October 2006

Oh and I must change my default Arsenal squad. It's just horrible seeing Cashley in red and white.

andy · October 2006

That said, Thierry Henry is ten times better than any other player in the game. Walcott is good too -i don't know why the default team starts with adebayor

David · October 2006

I wish he would in the real world too. Van Persie is good, but he's definately an impact player, not a team player. Adebayor free's up Henry and actually makes it worth us taking corners and stuff as he does the unthinkable and jumps up in the air and tries to hit the ball with his head. Rumour has it, this is called a header, but Wenger isn't convinced.

Footballer book sales, as of october 15.

1) Gerrard by Steven Gerrard: 76,459
2) My Story So Far by Wayne Rooney: 36,973
3) Totally Frank by Frank Lampard: 26,662
4) Rio: My Story by Rio Ferdinand: 7,651
5) My Defence by Ashley Cole: 3,128.

Now, assume Ashley makes a fiver a book, then 'my defence' has made him fifteen grand. Hardly worth bothering, was it?

David · October 2006

Just forwarded this to Camilla, she reckons he's probably on something closer £2 a book. That makes me happy.

andy · October 2006

har har. if we get a pb shout out can we be the stroudgreen massive?

David · October 2006

ok, so looked at the controls and you were right. I was on some digital rehash of the basic settings. Basically what was a shot became a pass and vice versa and conservative takles become death blows. Much improved now, can takle without beheading the opposing player and gameplay is definately improved on previous offerings, and although it'll be different one-on-one, the midfield is a bit non existent, you can just pass through it pretty much unchallenged. all the pressing seems to happen in the final thirds. i like though. double bonus is i aslo got it online last night and it updated arsenal ridding us of Cashley and replacing him with Gallas. Very good.

I can't work out whether this should be 'sport', 'general chat', 'eugenes lair' or 'tv,film,music,youtube'

Torn between my own categories....

Lucy · November 2006

definitely shouldn't be on my radar! That should narrow it down a bit.

Pete · November 2006

eugene's lair

i point out that you are playing a digital version of what a lot of people do outside.

Howdy, Stranger!
