Pro Evolution Soccer 4

Just one game today – online against someone on my friends list. He played as England, I played as Japan. I won 4-0. How embarrasing for him. Of course, he then complained that he didn’t know about the run and shoot buttons and made up other feeble excuses during a post-match IRC discussion. Him == CRAP. FACT.

A friend came round this evening, and we played some 20 or so games of this. We were generally evenly matched, with lots of 1-0 and 0-1 scores, when playing as random teams. The last two games were decided in penalties, they were so close (we won one each). I then played a game on Xbox Live – against some random bod playing as Real Madrid. I played as England (two Beckhams on the pitch!) and lost 4-0. I was …

Three more matches in the on-going league I’m playing. The first was a poor 0-0 draw with Middlesborough, who are now bottom of the table. Why I failed to even get a shot on goal is beyond me. Next, was some London team, but I forget which. I beat them 1-0, due to a stupid own goal they managed within the first five minutes of play. Finally, for now, was Arsenal. They played much, much better than me (and had …

Spent a while working my way through the league. Teams played against today include Tottenham, Norwich, Manchester City, Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea. I lost to Arsenal, but drew or beat all of the others. Most embarrasing was a 0-0 draw with Norwich. They played crap, their marking was rubbish, and they didn’t attempt a shot on goal. And I drew. RUBBISH. I’m now 9th in the league (Norwich are bottom), with a F/A of -1. Not too bad, I suppose, …

As expected, Brazil beat me. Although they didn’t beat me as badly as I thought they might – it was 1-0 to them in the second half of extra time. Bother. The match for third place was on, against The Netherlands. This too went into extra time, only this time it was I who scored in the dying minutes. Hurrah. Probably. Decided to start a league then. Chose Liverp^H^H^H^H^H^HMerseyside Red. My first match was against “West Midlands” or something, which …

Another attempt at an International Cup (as England) this evening. My group consisted of Japan, Latvia and Slovenia – all of which I drew with 0-0. Luckily, that got me enough points to limp through to the next round. There it was Czech Republic again. I beat them 1-0, although they were bloody hard to get the ball off. And onto the next round! Sweden. Bah. I got a goal past them in the first half, and thought I was …

I started a Cup today. In my group, my first match was me (as England) against the Czech Republic, which ended 1-1. Then followed Austria (0-0). and Nigeria (1-2). Bah. That meant I was kicked out of the competition. I suppose it is an improvement over yesterday, however.

Having not enjoyed a single football game since Sensible World of Soccer, I was unsure as to what I would think of this. I mean, everyone says it’s the best football game ever (except chavs, who think FIFA is because it is made by EA), but it looked a bit more complicated than SWOS. Anyway, I did some free training to start to get a feel for the controls, and then went into a match between England (me) and Belgium …

Nasty Xbox 360 freeze problem

I went to use my 360 this evening, and as soon as it powered on and logged in, it froze. Restarted it, and the same happened again. Zomoniac off of ugvm reported similar problems yesterday. After some faffing around, I tried disconnecting my network cable and starting the 360 up again – and this worked. Plug in the cable, connect to Live, and it freezes. Naturally, and following the problems with Live all week, I assumed that it was Microsoft’s …

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Demo) (360)

Had a single game of this tonight, with me playing France vs Turkey. I never have been a big sports game fan, although Sensible Soccer is amazing and PES4 on the Xbox and FIFA ’06 on the DS both got quite a bit of play. And this is pretty good too. I don’t really know the controls (only pass and shoot, and tackle), and I managed to get a red card within five seconds of kickoff, then proceeded to lose …
