Unfortunately 95% of the moves of C.Ronaldo are useless. But i agree that Cristiano deserves special threatment, he should get a special diving button assigned.

You're from the netherlands.
3 months since the WC06 and still bitter... lol

hahahaha C Ronaldo is a cheeky one ain't he! kissing the ball before the penalty, smirk on his face......he aint a bad player, but ah well.....im sure some of the bigger lads will take away his legs and leave him like a vegetable crying on the bench with the only realisation that he can't play the next few games because his knee caps are on the other side of his legs lol.

but seriously, he's a decent player! :jambo:

I'm sure each player will have their own attributes that will allow just them to do skills like Ronaldinho, and not your average piece of cr@p like Phil Neville to pull out the party tricks.

not to get off topic but anyone who thinks c. ronaldo is the only person guilty of diving needs to get their eyes checked. the difference between him and everyone else is that he's bad at acting so it appears worse than it is. he's had a great season so far for man utd, and props to him for putting up w/ boos all the time and finally delivering some flash AND end product. AND he's what, 21?

k i'm done. fifa 07 for 360! woohoo! :)

I too, have just got the FIFA07 PS2 demo.

First off the animation and ball physics are superior to 06, the game is more realistic now too (and a bit harder). You really have to measure passes better than before (whereas you could tap triangle and hold L2 and loft a beautiful throughball everytime in 06, now you really have to work for it - many is the time that I saw the ball driven way over the intended recipient's head and into touch.

The ball also reacts alot better too, it deflects off players awkwardly like in real life, it doesn't seem so limited or scripted anymore. In fact I scored my first goal when Ji Sung Park drove the ball into the box, Dida parried it and it fell perfectly for Wayne Rooney to volley in. Shots now seem alot better in terms of pace as well, a long range effort from Ronaldinho for example, fizzes towards goal.

As for the "showboating" you have to now hold L2 and flick the right stick to execute moves like stepovers etc. Ronaldinho and Ronaldo can actually flick the ball up and clear of the ground, and then (with much practice) continue to juggle it. It took me by surprise the first time and the ball smacked the opponent in the chest and was lost. The ball is a lot more free than before and doesn't feel tied to the players anymore (at least nowhere near as much)

The commentary is still provided by Clive Tyldesley and Andy Gray and remains much the same (although new phrases have been added) new cinematics include the excellent intro that now starts inside the tunnel with the two sets of players (and cuts to "dream sequences" of some of the following match - like NHL06 did prematch. It works better than it sounds, trust me.

The graphics are slightly superior to 06, especially with regards to kits, AC Milan's adidas sleeve stripes look far clearer (though there still is a slight blur) and yes "bwin" does indeed appear on the front. (possibly 888.com and bet32red will also make it)

All in all the PS2 version is shaping up nicely, and I think will more than suffice for the month before the X360 version comes out.

owerall, is it the demo you guys played better than PES5?


I prefer FIFA, PES5 for me does my head right in! You get hold of a team like Brazil in PES5 and it feels like you're controlling unresponsive idiots that can't even play a passing game, yet alone shoot and cross the ball (talk about OTT for making a game challenging!).

FIFA 07 isn't easy, but goals make you feel good and the game made me feel good and that's important. It was fun to play and didn't bore me.

i know, but it gets to the point where the players' don't respond because they're too busy performing an animation. I know FIFA has the same problem in the past, but in PES, since you have control over so much, I got really angry that you couldn't do quick passes and string it altogether without losing the ball. Professional players' can pass with their eyes closed, but this game makes it feels like, well...like it's difficult to pass a ball in real life and that to me is more arcade, to make the game more challenging.

NK FOOTBALL, it just sounds like u suck at PES5, see thats what i love about the pro evo series, takes time to get used to and there is so much in the game, i been playing Winning eleven 10 for months now and im still discovering new things. Thats what i hate about FIFA in the past, you play for a week and you score the same goals every time, and all the animations are repititive. Hopefully FIFA 07 is good, but i dont think it will be anywhere near the realism of Pro evo for some time now.

Any chance of getting a torrent for the demo?? I'm in the States and none of my local game shops know anything about a PS2 demo whether you pre-order or not. :f***:

Bad enough that this country doesn't recognize the world's sport for the beautiful game that it is..

American "football"... :-puke:

Peace out...

~Honestly

I played 3 games on PES, by the 3rd i was playing on highest difficulty setting and winning. If there is anymore to discover i'll be pulling 9-10 goals a half.

Opponent AI is so BAD on PES... But its bad on FIFA too LOL

NO RIGHT STICK SKILL CONTROLS......THAT'S ME SCREWED THEN :boohoo:

No, there are skill moves, but you have to hold L2 before activating the right stick.

And in my opinion, FIFA07 feels much closer to PES5 - I really got the feeling of having to work opportunities and actually play down the wings and fight to get crosses in. It's extremely fun and rewarding to play - damn it, I'm off for another session! :)
