Product Description

PES 2008 features a brand new intelligence system, called Teamvision, that adapts and reacts to players own gameplay styles to ensure that the computer controlled opponents are always challenging and forcing the player to think and chance their style of play to avoid being out-thought by the game. It will learn counter attacks that target your weaknesses and look to exploit any repetitive tactics players use. Defenders react better to danger, closing down the ball and charging at shots and the goalkeepers will hold shots that are closer to them as well. Teammates will make more intelligent runs into space and the close control has been sharpened to ensure quick and fluid passing and speedy attacks can be built.

Manufacturer's Description
Key to PES 2008 is a proprietary adaptive AI system entitled Teamvision. Unique to the Konami game, Teamvision is a sophisticated AI programming that learns and adapts according to an individual’s style of play. As such, it will learn new ways to build attacks and to counter specific movements and previous attacking or defensive errors, ensuring games are more in line with the tactical but flowing nature of the real thing.

With the Pro Evolution Soccer series renowned for its fluid, realistic gameplay, the new game builds on the implementation of Teamvision with additional key advances. As with previous releases since its inception in 1996, the ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.

Working in conjunction with the Teamvision system, every aspect of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008’s on-field play has been reworked and fine-tuned to create the balanced and strategic play of a high stakes match. Set-pieces have been improved, with full control given over the number of players and the position of the defensive wall. A wider range of set piece options are also available to make use of specific talents within the team.

The dissapointing Pro 08
I used to love pro years ago and thought it was better than fifa by miles, i then bought fifa 06 and really got into the fifa games. Recently i bought Pro 08 just to see how it is a few years on an i got to say its very dissapointing!! At times pro can be the most infuriating game their is. For example.... once you play at normal level or higher you could have the fastest player on the game marked by the slowest, an the computers slowest will still beat you for pace!!! the referee sees fouls that are non- exsistant, all you have done is got the ball an he blows for a foul!! the players touch in the game is pathetic. still the same old master league players who are all so bad it makes playing the game on normal or higher very frustrating especially as by putting the differculty level to an easier one makes the game way to easy and pointless. The pundits are very annoying an say the same old thing 20 times a game. The team names, badges and kits are still rubbish. Also when starting the master league as for example liverpool your in division 2 (fair enough as you have to earn promotion to be in the top league) but you play french, spanish etc teams who can then be promoted with you, so then the following year when you have been promoted to the premier league someone like marsaille come up with you!!! when has marsaille ever been in the premiership??!! its lazy of konami! one thing in its favour tho is the fact the fifa 09 is even more of a let down as its exactly the same as 08 least Pro 08 added a few worthless teams like helsinki???!!!

both pro 08 and fifa 09 are a waste of money and a big let down.

not competing with EA sports
I really dont think anyone is coming close to competing with EA sports right now. We all know fifa has been closing in recently and just how good tiger woods is. Something you may not know however is JUST HOW GOOD MADDEN 09 is. It will blow you away even if youre not a huge fan. you will be
MADDEN NFL 09 (PS3)
