Ya great game. And UEFA Champions League looks same as it is live on ten sports.

Well, I am looking forward to playing FIFA 2009 this year. Played PES 2008 the last year.
-----------------
BTW I am also an Arsenal fan.

The game looks good and is very, very smooth. The AI is uncompromising. Opposing defenders close you down very quickly, unlike in FIFA 09. I'm playing in the Regular difficulty. I'll play Be A Legend mode as soon as I can wipe this drool off my screen

That's great. Looks like PES 2009 wins the gameplay award again. And this time, the become a legend mode is another thing to look at and drool. It looks like PES are closing in on EA with every single release.
BUT, to get the best ever soccer simulation game, you need a mix. Gameplay engine from Konami, FIFA's coverage of teams, tourneys etc. FM style manager mode with damn realistic transfers. This will never happen though (and it's obvious to even a n00b). If it did happen though, we would be on top of the world. The online soccer gaming forums would be dull though, with no FIFA v PES wars......

Well, well, well... I tried the 'Become A Legend' mode and I'm absolutely awestruck.... Ever dreamt of wearing the shirt of your favourite football club? You can fulfil your dream right here! You can use your own photo for your created player's face and customize the entire look, physique and attributes according to your own real self! I tried a not-so-good and not-so-clear photo:

Super cool!!!
The gameplay is also nice for this mode. Team-mates won't just pass the ball to you because you asked for it. The first match is the one where you'll have scouts from different clubs watching you. Impress them and bag a contract. From then on, you'll first need to make it to the bench. That can be done by playing in intra-squad matches and gaining the trust of the manager. Once you're selected on the bench, you'll need to put in solid & consistent performances to break into the first 11. Virtually everything is similar to a footballer's real-life career!! Whoa!!

A couple of more screenies from the Champions League and the crowd:

That's awesome!!!! I have always wanted a soccer game where we can get to be the stars and go through most of what real players go through. And finally my dream has come true. That's great. Go Konami go.
The only other game I've played so far like this was New Star Soccer 3. This is just like the be a pro and become a legend modes. But, in this, a lot of character customization isn't possible. But there are some more realistic features. You can earn your money to buy things, like a nice house or new boots. And there're training sessions as well. And you get to have your own personal life alongside your football career. You have to play and keep your boss, friends, family and girlfriend (if you have one) happy. But the graphics are crap compared to FIFA and PES.

^^

well pata nahi abt its release in India (try milestoneinteractive.com) even me a fifa fan and a Linkin PArk fan too (after looking at ur avtaar pic)...

Hv u checked the new FIFA09 ???

See the review (link in my siggy plz)

Yeah Linkin Park FTW!!!! (man I Love this smiley)
Nice review.. have commented there
The pirated dealer is charging a premium for this game (about 250/-) when most of his games are about 100/-
Is this a good indication or bad?
I had to turn to such people after my hpoes of getting a legal copy of PES have been dashed

 

[ashu888ashu888]

WEll, 250/- is a high price but since its a new and popular game and he knows tat boys will be paying him (or atleast he will be in a bargain position where he''ll win) tats the reason..

WEll, im getting from the *ahem....* source..

 

[Kl@w-24]

I hate such dealers.
Downloading an illegal copy of a game for personal use sounds much better when I see people like these making money by selling it.

 

[Cool Joe]

Yeah. Even I hate such guys. There are people in my area who do that. They even do that for music CDs. And the n00bs put only around 10 songs in MP3 format when there's full 700 MB available.

 

[thewisecrab]

Yeah hence the question..
where is the legal Indian copy Of PES 09?
It was reviewed by Mumbai Mirror today too (although the authors gave it 4 stars and gave FIFA 5 stars...n00b )

 

[ashu888ashu888]

^^ yeah seen that review too... (good tat fifa 09 was a star ahead of PES) lol..
---------

sumtimes, even i think of starting a business of such game CD/DVDs.. (joking.. )
by looking at the amount of ppl (noobs) asking for jus song CDs and sum games only..

 

[ratedrsuperstar]

After 2 matches:i played pes 09 yesterday but sadly this time the gameplay difference isn't much.sadly i don't think there'll be any more of my friends switching to pes this year.

although me being a huge pro fan; fifa 09>pes 09

now after 2 daysro wins pro wins pro wins pro wins the gameplay is faaaar cooler than fifa.still pes 09>=fifa 09 overall
