JoeyN Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Just wondering if any of you soccer fans out there picked it up for Xbox. If so any thoughts? capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I've played it a few times (it hit Europe in the form of Pro Evolution Soccer 4 late last year) and I have to say, even though I don't even follow the sport it is a very nice and uniquely responsive game of its kind. The PS2 pad may still lend itself better to the game, but the Xbox version is still comfortable enough to control and I am in the market to actually get round to buying my own copy soon, and will probably get the Xbox version (I just bought my brother the PS2 release for his birthday). What I can't speak for is the XBOX Live support however since I gave up interest of getting into Live. I think there were some teething problems with lag from what I can recall from last year, but it may have been ironed out by now. It's proving to be a popular title on these shores, despite the fact many still opted for Fifa 2005 over Christmas for the gobs of money poured into its presentation, music and licensed team and stadium names ignoring the fact the Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution series still outranks EAs efforts in terms of responsiveness and physics. There are actually ways to download comprehensive fan made files for both PS2 and Xbox version where some chap with a lot of free time named every team, player and stadium correctly.

Tranquility Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Waiting for the PC version to hit stores around here. Hope the PC version doesn't have as disappointing Internet support as PES4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 While I'm not playing on buying it, I will mention Xplay gave it the best sports title of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwijibo Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Nice looking game. Does it even support XB Live? No mention on teamxbox (well I didn't read the review, but no check next to "live") How much is the game? Is it available? I'd pick it up for $20 for $50 I'd pass.

JTello Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 I agree, it looks like a great game, and if it can be had cheap I'd purchase. EB's site has it listed for 39.99. I have a $5.00 of coupon for EB, so if that is the best deal I can find I think I'd still be inclined to pick it up for $35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Does it even support XB Live? I believe the North American release does not feature XBox Live play, whereas the European release does. Absolutely brilliant series of games.

foogledricks Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Interested, but with no Live play, and no one but a 4 month old to play with me at home, it would fall under Soul Caliber II as one of my "Awesome games that I never play."

JTello Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Why would this game not support Live in the U.S. if it does it Europe. What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Well you don't have that many soccer fans in the US that don't buy FIFA. Actually that's probably one of the reasons the name of the version that's usually released in the US is called Winning Eleven and the one in Europe is Pro Evolution Soccer. Besides the region, another difference is the presence of online play. Pro Evolution Soccer 4 has Xbox live. Winning Eleven 8, which is basically the same game, doesn't.

Thrillho Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I picked this game up over the weekend, Its a very good soccer game, even a little complicated in some things you have to do. No live support does stink, as I only have my wife to play against, and she's never in the mood to play more than one or two matches at a time. I have the demo for FIFA and I'm still trying to decide who's gameplay I like better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Right well I've no excuse not to finally get my own copy of Pro Evo 4 on the XBox as Amazon UK are asking ?6.46 for it! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
