[Backdrifter]

Finally recieved my copy today. Coming straight from PES3 to this is quite a task, since there seems to be much more of an emphasise on timing. Scored two cracking goals in my first three matches though. One, a gorgeous whipped in ball by Kevin Kilbane right across the egde of the six yard box caught the defence napping, and Robbie Keana dived in the put the ball away. Second, Pavel Nedved powered one into the bottom right hand corner from a full 25 yards away.

All in all, I'm quite impressed! Just wish I had a damn DVD writer so I could attempt the master league.

Just wondering, will the xbox pal version of PES4 have online play? Any info?

[Salsa Party Animal]

I don't think so but we will find out next week in Game show.

[Backdrifter]

This might seem a little cheeky, but is there anyone out there who would burn me off a patched copy of the game and send it out? I'm happy to give anyone who was kind enough a few quid, and I'm perfectly happy to take a little picture of myself with my original copy, just to prove I'm not trying to bag a freebie. I just lack a DVD writer at the moment, and on my meagre wage, I cant really convince myself that splashing out the cash for such an item for one game is well worth it! I just long to play the master league is all....well, in a way I can understand it.

If this is considered any form of piracy, then I whole heartedly apologise!

Online play, if decent and responsive would be nice.
Began a new ML and tbh its not that much of a hardship since its so much fun to plow through early on.
Ive settled on 3-5-2-B as my preferred formation. Ive never really felt the need for 4 at the back plus in Vornander you have a great defender, who is oddly on the bench by default (squad number is 13 if your interested) but is the best defensive player by far. If you play him in the centre his height means that youl concede fewer headers and he also bags a few goals from set plays.
with 3-5-2-b you get two defensive midfielders slap bang in front of your back three which is good if you want to clog up the area in front of your goal and hinder passing play by the opposing team. You have two wide men though whoever you play in the wide positions needs alot of stamina since they cover nearly the length of the pitch. Your front two is more or less a front three since the last midfielder plays just behind them, a good position for a slow and skillful player like bergkamp.

I'm just starting ML as well but I'm more of a 4-4-2 traditional person. I only really use it because I like having two players running each wing (obviously needs wingers with gas and a whippet at left/right back who can run all day) but that way I can make so many overlaps on the wings. My style of play at the mo is really geared to running the wings and dropping in the ol' crosses. I haven't made anywhere as much headway playing it through the middle of the park but when I play co-op with others we tend to employ the 3-5-2-b tactics for the above reasons.

phew
just went on a mid season spending spree. Luckily id done pretty well in the first half of the season with the standard squad so had more cash and some of the players who were interested in me werent free agents but actually played for real life honest to goodness clubs (as opposed to my usual freebie hunting) so i could do a bit of part exing as well to keep transfer bills low. Brought in varga, petta, nakamura, kubo and ricketts kubo being the legend that he is scored on his debut deep , deep into extra time to bag me a 1-0 win against wolves.

Fernando released a new patch a couple of hours ago...

What's New:

- Player abilities in MASTER LEAGUE NOW IN ENGLISH
- Worked as much as i could Transfer dialogs, still there's work to do.
- Completed dialogs on the bottom here and there.
- Lots of Bugfixes and changes in the words i've used. Mostly suggestions from
users of Evo Web and WinningEleven.com Forums.


Summary:

- Exhibition = 100%
- Master league = 90% more less
- Edit Mode = 94%
- Options = 100%
- League Mode = 95%
- Cup Mode = 98%
- Training Mode = 30%
- Formation stuff = 91%

These doenst include Help pages, which are not only difficult but
consumes too much time so that would be the last with training.

* Remember the help pages are not translated and also some had to go to reduce the filesize.*

FAQ:

When you going to release a full 100% version??
When its done/i DONT KNOW... maybe PSE 4 will be available at that time so why bother?



Known errors:
None that i know.

NOTE: I've been "forced" to include a small logo on the game as i've seen too much people ripping off
this patch without mention it. I don't like it because don't think its honest and also doesn't do any
good to the community. This is my personal opinion.


Thank you all for your support and special thanks to all the groups with honesty
like Wendetta and Wedoit. And to Polter2k!!!

Thanks

Fernando

Maybe I'm fickel but this always adds an extra dimension for me.

[Marmite]

Quality. Im getting excited now that the editing is in full force and the Master League has been virtually translated. Will be on the scrounge for a patched copy very soon methinks, you lovely lovely people!

[revisedgenocide]

Theres a new option file from evo-web due in the next few days. Everything youd expect really with improvements made in all departments from what ive read. Plus a slowdown fix where some of the rather useless detail on players, like headbands and earings and certain hairstyles are removed or changed. It works quite well apparently.
Since the option file is due soon ive decided to go into a 6 star world cup with england and start a new ML when its released. Certain things jump out at you when your playing as england
1)kcet must hate rooney since hes not that good in the game.
2)one of the developers must be releated to a brummie since vassel is quite good.
3)They obviously havent watched hesky play since he doesnt go to ground often in the game.
4)theyve confused dyer with some sort of high speed missile. Seriously stick dyer on the left and gerrard in the middle and youve got extreme speed on the wing.

so funny man but so accurate. It makes me wonder if they watched Euro 2004 at KCET or not as the case maybe. I just got custom league option for ML and not got custom cash yet but will have soon if i get winning cups n leagues. So i have stuck myself in a Master league with Chelsea n Real Madrid, AC Milan etc all in my league on 5 star (Still not got the balls for 6 star yet not wen i'm still losing to sum teams). Still not managed to buy a player yet tho, i so want C.Ronaldo in my Chelsea sqaud.

Not good tho that i hear u have to slash yr squad to buy players i noticed this wen i'd finished Div 2 i had no cash left at all after the wage bill went .

[BlackHammer]

I have to say i disagree. I played through a world cup last night and Rooney was on fire! Him and Mickey boy were banging in the goals bewteen them and I didnt concede until I got to the final where Ronaldo fired home an acrobatic volley from a corner and ended my cup run. Owen got injured in one game and I brought Vassel on, pacey, but had no effect so I soon subbed a sub and stuck donkey on. He was half decent actually, as was Beckham's long range shooting for a change. All in all, after a week and a half of not playing, I had forgotten how good this version is.

Now I just wish the latest option file and complete translation patch will be released so i can get stuck in to some ML action. - I know, I know, it's fully playabe now, bit im holding out for some reason.

[dataDave]

I'm now scoring 3-0, 4-1, 3-2 etc on 6-stars. Gotta love L1 + double tap circle for the speedy, chest height crosses!!

I'll be damned if I can win International Cup on 6-star though.

[Chief H]

I know, tell me about it! you can get so much whip on it to curl it around the first man as well (the main problem with using triple-tap crosses now)
