Best game after FIFA, of course. Every lunchtime for as long as many of us can remember, the latest incarnation of Pro Evo has been feverishly cranked up, with cursing and recriminations proving a major part of the daily schedule.
Able to induce fury like no other, everyone has their ready-made excuses, with Woods once going so far as to claim that a goal scored against him was scripted". Until last year, to get a game of Pro Evo the sage boffins of PC had to endure a visit to console corner, elbowing the drooling children off of their beloved PS2.
We still have to nick the joypads off the console kids, but you can't have everything. What you can have at the end of this year is Pro Evolution Soccer 4, the annual update again pencilled in for the PC along with the perennial PS2 version plus an Xbox debut. Suffice it to say that a ripple of excitement went around the office on hearing the news.
Naturally, the question was soon raised of how Konami could improve on perfection. For starters, it could ask commentator Peter Brackley to stop saying finding it hard to win the aerial battle there" every 30 seconds.
And it could shell out the money for proper club and stadium names. It could also tone down the infuriating morale' system that occasionally makes it almost impossible to pass the ball to one of your players after letting in a couple of goals.
And of course, the Holy Grail, it could get the bastard playable online. Unfortunately, we have no information on any of the above, H although we will be making hourly calls to Konami until it spills the beans. What we do know is that the legendary Shingo Seabass' Takatsuka and his team are claiming that Pro Evolution Soccer 4 marks a quantum leap forward for both the Pro Evolution franchise and the football genre as a whole.
It's a bold claim, but we've been playing the game since the MegaDrive, and amazingly they do get better each time. For PES4, we're promised greater speed and control, as well as a wealth of new moves and tricks. As for dead ball situations, new free kick and penalty techniques are being introduced, along with an innovative' indirect free kick move.
What's more, the individuality of players is being enhanced, and extended stats will cover such skills as bringing a high or fast ball under control, hitting it first time past an encroaching defender, or flicking it on to a team-mate. A new dribbling system is also being implemented, while crosses and cut-backs will be more precise.
Aesthetic improvements include such subtleties as the appearance of a ref on the pitch, and the fact that kits will become caked in shit as the match progresses. Throw in more teams, an enhanced Master League and a saveable My Best Eleven side, and you could say that we're very excited indeed. Despite Leeds Utd wallowing in Championship mid-table mediocrity, my passion for football remains constant, bordering on a psychotic obsession.
Anyone who doesn't support a team can't understand why fans stay in on Saturday afternoons watching Ceefax, or spend hours in the pub discussing tactics, transfers, goals and gossip with their mates.
So, it's with this in mind that I state the following - Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is the best footie action game ever made. Even though the latest version of the game is by no means perfect, no other soccer sim comes within a Cantona karate kick of its glorious net-bursting magnificence.
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly why PES is such a superb representation of the beautiful game, but the magic definitely starts with Konami TYO's very Japanese philosophy of always being 'truthful' with the behaviour of the ball.
Unlike other titles that concentrate on the player models and likenesses first, then work on how to introduce the ball later. PES begins with the ball physics and then builds the rest of the game around the realistic movement of the leather sphere. As a result, you get uncannily realistic and unpredictable football matches, packed with skilful midfield build-ups, spectacular long-distance shots, dashing runs with close-control, deft chips and frenetic goalmouth scrambles.
Pro Evolution Soccer 4 has numerous improvements since 's first iteration on the PC. Some of the teams are badly out-of-date, however, so slapper-fan Rooney is still at Everton, and slapheaded Zidane is still playing for the French national side.
