Winning Eleven 9 (psp) Famitsu Score

[Distinct muttering]

if it's anything like the PES5 demo, the players make the ones in PES4 seem uber-responsive. so maybe it's not an issue with the PSP version I mean.

←

Well I am no pro evo expert, only bothered with 1 to 4, never any of the foreign itterations. But its certainly a lot better than pro evo 4, which almost caused me to give up on the series forever.

The players seem to respond well, and no longer go through painful prolonged stumble animatiuons, or embark on lots of fruitless runs that only super cancel can halt.

My only complaint is the PSP can get uncomfortable to hold after pro longed use of having to reach all the buttons. Its hardly an ergonomic masterpiece though.

Real Madrid 0 - Bolton Wanderers 3

I suck at this game. Which is a shame as I reckon it could be quite good if I was any good.

Move the stars down, what levek you playing on? Dont be scared to stick it onto one star till you get the hang of it.

[Strafe]

Are the stars a difficulty level?

YES!

Thank god. I didn't know what they meant. I've never played a pro-evo game before, you see. Not since ISS on the SNES, anyway.

Any other blindingly obvious tips you can throw my way?

[Ratso2005]

I see what you are saying, but you can actually just dump your UMD onto the mem stick, so its not really a pirate copy.

But yeah, ridiculous really.  Off mem stick its brilliant though.  No loading times of any note, plus you can clock it to 266mhz and get no slowdown at all.

None of this is possible on a 2.0 machine, right?

(Forgive my duncity but I am new to the world of the PSP).

Stick the ball in the net more than they stick it in yours

Afraid so mate, 2.0 cant do it

Pray for a hack or a downgrader to become available for 2.0

Back of the net!

I have played plenty of pro evos before and I only have it on 2 stars. some games can be a bit easy, but it allows me the chance to try new stuff, rsther than going all out for goals.

Currently one point behind league leaders Chelsea B)

How do you do a league or a cup?

Erm.. choose the option from the main menu that says 'League'.

Not sure a cup is possible though.

[SomeNaiveChump]

two stars literally just lets you walk the ball through the entire team and poke it into the net 20 times per match though.

which is part of the reason three stars is so annoying (the AI is stupid but artificially hard to beat through stat-fiddling) - going down to two stars just isn't an option.

I started an italian league and put it down to one star after a couple of matches. Not that I was losing badly, I just need time to get used to the 'nub'.

It's hard to compete when I keep running into the opposition by mistake.

I'm getting better though, am on 2 stars now and will move back up to three in a few matches time as I get more and more settled with the controls.

I really dont find two stars THAT easy. My biggest win has been 5-0. But as I say, I dont play it for all out goals, I like to score beautiful goals B) Not been beaten yet mind you, just held to a couple of draws.

Once this league is finished though Im gonna move on to a 3 star league.

[SomeNaiveChump]

sounds like the game is a lot tougher on the handheld.

a combination of the d-pad/nub, apparent lack of super-cancel and lack of wide view I suppose.

I bet it's better than my GBA winning eleven though

[donnie_darko]

What's the best way to play a one-two? If I press L at the right time just after passing the player who made the pass runs forward but if I don't time it right the receiving player loses focus as I've taken control of someone else! Is there another method to play a one-two?

[siread]

Hold L before passing. Then press X or O before the receiver gets it to return the ball low or high. I think.

[SomeNaiveChump]

as long as you're holding L as you press pass the guy should run for the return ball*

you have full control over the first receiver, you don't need to pass straight away. watch the player's run and choose your pass from X, triangle, O or L+triangle when the time is right.

*for about 2 seconds, then he'll stop, even if he would be clean through if he kept going

[donnie_darko]

Cool, thanks. I've found passing the ball in triangles defintely helps in this game as computer marking is a lot better than in PES4. If you can't reach you're intended player directly then look for someone who can ALA real football.

[Hoodedclaw]

hated this at first but warming slowing , totti seems intent to score a free kick against me everytime i face him tho , lucky Cisse got a hat trick against him

i find turning the screen brightness reduces that ghosting effect you get on long balls or could be the red wine lol

[dr_manhattan^]

When starting a league I seem to only be able to select the Italian league, what am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Go back to the screen before the team select - all the game setup options in jap. The very top one is a country select. I think the Premiership was the third or fourth one to the right.

Cisse is a monster in the game - Crouch on teh other hand
