PES 2013

Finally a great game of Football brought to us by Konami after maybe 2/3 of a decade. This is hopefully a thread that will allow all 3(?) people who probably own it to post about what they love, hate, are curious about.

As far as I'm concerned, this year PES takes the throne back. The game play is so well balanced and fun. No doubt there will be others who will question the game and reviews as Konami has let us down so many times each year but those people will only be missing out. To me game play is what its all about anyway.

The menus are extremely dull. The music bad but a few tracks. It has all the game modes you would expect except for a surprising and disappointing absence of the 2 on 2 game mode.

Licensing, well, its Konami. Get an Option File. It takes about 5 mins to find and download to a flash drive and about 20 mins to upload onto the PS3. Well worth it and little to no hassle especially with PS3 having a new multi-file-copy option.

I had FIFA for 2 weeks before I decided to buy PES and while I enjoyed FIFA at a minor level I knew it wasnt for me. I then bought PES thinking this would be the year I'd return both games and forget about football games for a while. Fortunately I was VERY wrong. Do yourselves a favour and at the very least rent the game for a week. You wont be disappointed.

Pes2013 is obviously going to be different to pes2009. If it wasn't I would be extremely upset.

Indeed. But if you were good at PES09 then you were going to be good at PES2012 or 2011. Now, we got together last week to play a PES tourno. The host had a 2012 version. One lad had the 2013 version and said he'd reinstall an old version 'cos PES2013 was just like a different footie game. I still play 2009. My team? Rangers. 2018. Won it all. How far from actual life!

2013 is better than all of those.

'tis. Not all of us have it so far, that's the snag. FIFA Road To Word Cup '98 has been the very best footie game ever

I took a note last night on how long it takes to save, takes about 5 seconds, is nothing.(xbox)

loading/saving don't bother me, I grew up with a spectrum, sometimes you'd load a game for 10 mins, press start then it crashes
then load it again

Hope thy sort out 2v2 in the new patch!!

Hombre: I still have that loading sound etched in my memory

I seemed to spend half my teen years copying and loading Spectrum games.
