Pro Evolution 6

Does anyone else think this game is garbage? I've been a fan of the series for sometime now, although I think the series peaked with Pro Evo 2 to be honest, but this one I find terribly annoying. the referee problem, whilst not as bad as it was in Pro Evo 5 is still shoddy, the keepers make occasional FIFA style mistakes, ball control is a bit clunky, when you're on a run your players offer you no support in most cases running back to defend leaving what should have been a 3 on 2 situation as 1 on 2 and most of your goals come from passing around the 6 yard box until one of your players sticks it away. I just find the game annoying more than anything to be honest, it seems like the fun has been sucked out of the game in an effort to increase it's realism

Would have to disagree with you there jebus. I think it isnt flawless but I reckon its the best version yet because they have made it easier to shoot long range and also I kinda like the uncertainty factor ie. when keepers drop crosses, corners are awarded incorrectly etc.
One major complaint though is that you cant seem to change the togs when choosing the kits before a match!
Also refs can be a bit card-happy sometimes.

SOMETIMES???????

I ended up with 7 players in a game against my 8 year old nephew, every tackle was a red card, regardless of if I won the ball or not!!!!
I lost 5-1 to an 8 year old!!!!!
Noth that I'm bitter you understand....

I agree with some points but it has allways been the case you want fun and silky unrealistic skills play fifa you want realistic footy sim play pro evo

keepers make mistakes - happens in real life
refs make mistakes - happens in real life .

Your players are running back because you have it set up like that when picking your team / formation etc go to individual pick attack you will see little arrows now telling you which direction your players are making runs in , switch it from dropping deep to foward runs . ( this should help a lot ) .

they changed shooting in this one to take into account correct foot, off balance etc if you line it up properly they will fly in ( also as the shot bar is going up press L2 this give you an acurate shot ), should help with long shots .


I love it on PS2 but on xbox 360 its terrible they signed a deal saying it would be out on xbox 360 before PS3 was released and they really rushed it , you cant edit !! so no real kits can be loaded on , when your playing on xbox live the time between pressing the button and him doing what you want can be up to 2 seconds . really poor on 360 . id average about 20 shots on goal 14 on target and about 3 to 5 goals a game on xbox live i average 20 shots on goal 4 on target and if im lucky 1 goal , everything flies over the bar .

I stopped sliding tackle a long time ago as there is very rarley a need for it. I think the through ball has now become even better and I use it a lot more as if you just you normal passing there is a tendency never to break the other team down.

Through ball has gotten better but the whole Pro Evo tackling situation has always been dodgy. In some games you can't slide tackle for fear of getting booked and if you try light tackle the ref always gives a foul against you.

On the keeper subject as well, its not just dropping balls off crosses, thats fine by me, but the other day I was playing in the master league and tried a long ball from about 70 yards. I hopelessly overhit and it look like it was going straight towards the keeper. However the ball bounced at the edge of the six yard box and the opposition keeper just looked at it as it bounced at chest height beside him and it went into the net. I know the goal was in my favour but I was still raging about how **** it was

Have to say the xbox360 version does the series no favours. Totally rushed, can't even save goals! Pity cause like most I love the game. It does look good on a HD TV but not good enough to justify whats been left out, and it should really look so much better. On a normal TV it's hard to notice any real difference from its xbox predecessor. Lookin forward to Pro Evo 7 to rectify the problems and do the 360 justice.

How does a HD TV fair with the 360 im thinking of getting one but i dont rate the plasmas at all the refresh rate of pixels isnt quick enough but i have nt seen a console on a HD .

Pro evo on 360 = bag of ****e

when winning 11 is out in march ( jap version ) it may be worth getting as import games will play on your irish console

tackle liek in real life 90% of my tackes are sliding and if i give away 4 free's all game its a dirty game , just time them and don t tackle from behind

I don't have a HD TV myself but from what I've seen ya really need HD to really get the best from the 360. My gf's brother has a 42" Phillips HD TV and games like Gears of War and Fight Night look far better than on a standard flat panel Tv, even with Pro Evo there's a fairly noticeable improvement, though not half as much as potentially could be.

I'm currently doing an option file for the PS2 game. It will be all 12 Premier Division teams with 6 First Division teams. I have Hearts, HSV and Sunderland replacing Sao Paolo, WES Utd and PES Utd. It will have all up-to-date kits, all transfers that needed fixing. I have all the kits done so far and badges sponsors put on. I wont be releasing it until the end of Feb/ start of March. I want to include all EL transfers in it because at the min i have all last seasons squads. If you want it you'll need a max-drive, you can get one at play.com. Its like a memory stick only it allows you to put option files onto the game

i'll say no more than what a game!!!

Grand so. You can also add Stephen Parkhouse to the strikers list.

It'll all be updated. Not releasing it till after the transfer window shuts so every club will be correct(those who are in it that is)

Have to disagree with pretty much all of that, you can control players off the ball with one twos or set a players area and style of play, you should shoot with the players preferred foot and dribble and run with the ball on that foot (R2 shifts it). Control is perfect and with some mastery you get the ball onto a players preferred foot without him even touching it. Stick at it and play humans and you be able to do this, this, this, this, and of course this :D

Agreed, but I think Pro Evo's developers have realised that, and so aren't doing much to enhance the gameplay. If Fifa ever got back to the heights of Fifa Road to World Cup 98 then I think the Pro Evo franchise could be in trouble

I wore out my copy of Fifa Road to World Cup 98. Probably my most played game ever. Definitely if you don't count Champ Manager. Was endless hours of fun. Happy memories :)

just played it the last night on the 360 and its awful slow.... pretty **** tbh.
one of the lads there was a FIFA fan and started saying he doesnt know how ppl think its better.... i tried to tell him it was miles better on PS2 and that i agreed its muck on the 360!.
about the PS2 one anyway i hate the way the long shots always go in...im not talking about frm like 20-30 yards im talking about the ''goal of the season'' length its pretty **** when every 3rd shot frm miles out goes in!!
feels like fifa 2002(anyone remember the long shots in that frm just inside the other teams half??) or virtua striker(the sega arcade game)

Yea i got rid of my 360 version and got the PS2 one up and running on the PS3 ( looks and plays way better than ps2 ) and the difference is instant !!

On fifa i remember that goal from just inside the half it used to be a mad dash to either get to the spot or kick the other guy before he got there :D

Uneducated Idiot question.
I have PES6 on ps2 and it's enjoyable enough (except for the automated changing of the player you have control over and the untimely goalkeeping errors and the flurry of cards for every tackle and ....) Anyway, one of my major gripes is the team names & kits. Someone told me there is a way of getting them changed to have the correct names & kits, can anyone explain (in "an idiots guide to" standard language)how I can do this?

there are 2 ways.

1. if you have a "modded"/"chipped" playstation, you can download a version of the game with real kits. this is the better quality option, as the kits are taken from photographs, the way they can be for the PC without such annoyances as burning dvds

2. if you don't, you can download an option pack of the names, stadiums and kits already changed with the ingame editor. it isnt quite as good as you're restricted to what you can do with the editor, but its probably much safer. again though, you'll need to buy a 3rd party cable to connect your PS2 to your PC to get the options file from your pc to your memory card.

Alternatively, find someone else who's already done option 2, and take their memory card, copy the option file, and give it back. Easiest method - if you know someone.

You can use the edit feature to change all the kits :D but otherwise its a case of downloading it or the best bet as has been suggested copy someones mem card .

Just wait a few months the new one has all the real kits and names

Thanks gents, I will ask my nephew to tap up his mates for memory cards
