FUCKING AYE THE FIFA DEMO WAS TERRIBLE I CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS

Comment by Studley on 2007-09-21 10:16:03

Any news on which teams are in the demo, or whether it’s playable online?

Comment by Stonie on 2007-09-21 10:36:33

Not playable online I’m afraid. It consists of 2 halves, strange for a demo. There are 6 teams, all international, featuring Portugal, France, Brazil etc.

Comment by Nekro on 2007-09-21 13:06:01

The reason you get two halves is because it isn’t a FIFA demo

Comment by Nekro on 2007-09-21 13:25:27

perhaps I should have said, EA demo.

Comment by UKWez on 2007-09-21 10:38:42

Brazil, Portugal, Argentina, Spain, France and Turkey.

Not online unfortunately.

Comment by FoolInjection on 2007-09-21 11:08:44

My download has frozen at 92%… doesn’t seem to want to download that all important final 8% of the demo before I have to go to work.

Comment by Farstarbuck on 2007-09-21 11:33:59

Strange how all the options are there to support 2 player offline, but yet you cant actually play 2 player, sucks a wee bit, but we must not get too angry, they gave us a demo after all.

Comment by Agent Balti on 2007-09-21 11:51:13

Bring on Sensi. That’s proper football.

Comment by FoolInjection on 2007-09-21 12:01:13

Finally got it downloaded…

Remember how I said in the Fifa08 news post how it might be taking PES’s crown… I take it all back.

PES08.. BY FAR… Best Footie game coming out this year.

Will probably still get Fifa for the crack though… they have the Scots Prem and the MLS afterall.

Comment by H1tchman on 2007-09-21 15:12:37

Liking the sound of that.

Comment by The_Glovner on 2007-09-24 12:15:26

Comment by Nekro on 2007-09-21 14:28:56

keep your Gaylo, and shove it up your ass.

Comment by The_Glovner on 2007-10-05 12:25:58

Well I have Halo 3 and FIFA and why you would even mention those two sorts of games in the one sentence don’t really make any sense to me.

No point going on about Halo if you want a game of football.

Comment by Pastyman72 on 2007-09-21 14:04:02

It’s pretty good but what’s with the pause every time the ref blows his whistle? It’s really spoiling it for me!

Comment by Sean on 2007-09-21 17:22:07

It’s a demo… demo’s have bugs.

Comment by Pastyman72 on 2007-09-21 23:53:50

So close to release?!? Maybe it is old code - let’s hope so

Comment by 360NORML on 2007-09-21 14:09:44

hmmm, maybe I’ll have to look in to creating a fake Euro account to get this.

Comment by renatox on 2007-09-21 14:09:44

fuck halo, FOOTBALL games are way better than that shit

Comment by nokidding on 2007-09-21 14:23:06

your ass will be out there with EVERYONE else to buy halo 3. dont lie.

Comment by bill on 2007-09-21 19:44:32

my mums not buying halo 3

Comment by Pastyman72 on 2007-09-21 23:54:59

Only cos she’s gonna be sat on my lap………. ;-)

Comment by Simon R. on 2007-09-21 20:11:04

My fake Euro Live account still works so I’m grabbing this. Hopefully it’s better than the travesty that is FIFA 08.

Comment by SWOSfan on 2007-09-21 20:35:06

whats with the slow as hell download speed on the pes2008 download? is anyone else getting the same issue? mine’s been going for nearly 9 hours now, and still at 85%

Comment by FoolInjection on 2007-09-21 21:38:39

Just noticed something…

Half a player in the box and get a penalty given against you. The camera for taking the penalty switches to low and BEHIND your goalkeeper facing the player taking the penalty kick.

Thats AWESOME !

Comment by mike on 2007-09-21 22:10:54

quick, how the f*ck can i get this to work in north america. give me cheats, cracks, sneaks, whatever the hell you want. now. please.

Comment by Zan Toplisek on 2007-09-22 09:35:09

Use this ;)

Comment by Bang Bang boggle on 2007-09-22 15:33:31

:P

Comment by I on 2007-09-22 16:29:59

Any idea if you can change the camera in the demo, the default is far too close

Comment by coojo on 2007-09-22 17:44:58

soccer sucks :)

Comment by The_Glovner on 2007-09-24 12:17:34

Well there’s a surprise. Another worthless opinion from you that almost nobody shares.

What a pointless fucking tool you are.

Comment by wiseguy on 2007-09-23 13:32:42

Does anyone know how to pull somebodies shirt and how to make a dive for a foul? :)

Comment by H1tchman on 2007-09-24 08:11:06

Pull shirts is usually L2 or Left Trigger on the xbox. And i’m not overly sure but i’ve heard tha dive is both shoulder buttons while in the box. Try it i may be wrong.

Comment by xxx on 2007-09-24 09:30:24

Go to the pause menu and go to command list and it tells you all of the buttons to press. From what I can remember its LB, LT and RB.

Comment by groon on 2007-09-24 20:09:40

Played the demo. Best soccer title ever.
I have every version since the first, but I’m not getting it this year. I don’t support gamedevelopers releasing titles every year with minor updates. PES 2008 is such a title. Great gameplay. But I need 2+ vs 2+ online matches and online leagues and online masterleague before I spend another dime on the series. Seabass and Konami needs to get their shit together and stop doing like EA..

Comment by nolche on 2007-10-05 11:44:46

hiiiiiiiiiiiii

Comment by Tucky on 2008-09-22 19:12:45
