The Wii isn't meant for football games, unfortunately. PS3 and XBOX is where it lies (much because of the graphics and gameplay). I mean this game isn't terrible, but it's not GOTW either.
Going to play it after school, but if its anything like Fifa 10 it's too much of an arcade game and not for me. Not saying it's a bad game, i can see younger kids playing this and having fun. But saying that the Wii is not for football games is just not true, PES is doing a good job. It just feels like EA is not even trying on the wii, and why would they if their showpiece is graphics and realism on the other consoles and all their profit is coming from there.

Still no classic gameplay? Cant find trailers or information about gameplay anywhere.. And what about classic controls? I'm still playing the buggy fifa 09 with friends just because of the classic controls (gamecube controller for teh win).
In this review (german) they say, that you can use the classic controller.

FIFA 10 and World Cup both had the classic controls option. So i'm guessing this has too.

Really? I never saw that option, neither did the gamecube controllers work. Is nintendo forcing a new policy for classic controllers or something and abandoning the gamecube controllers?

I played PES '08 on the wii
Loved it
But these games never grip me much (the wii one was the one that kept me playing the longest)
Now i forgot the controls

As far as I read yes.

Don`t really care for it, since I play PES on Wii and therefor I have no interest on any other football-game, if reviews can`t convince me otherwise...

It still would be nice to see if EA actually improved the Wii-version, since it was inferior to the other versions.

Whilst I agress PES on Wii is the greatest footy game on a console, THE greatest footy game EVER on any system has be between Sensible soccer on Amiga and Football Manager on the old Speccy

Try the Champions Road modus, that always keeps me hooked for hours.
Gonna give this a try one day too, but like a lot of members mentioned earlier here, PES Wii > any other football game on any other platform.

Can't wait to get this!! Might even finish work early friday and pick it up! Hell, might not even go IN to work on friday!!
....Oh wait this is the Wii version, lol..... I meant the 360 version of course! I've played footy games since I was a kid, and yeah I've been through Sensi soccer on the amiga, and FIFA10 on 360 is the best footy game yet (this coming from a PES fan since Superstar Soccer on the SNES!)
The 360 FIFA11 demo looks even better too - can't wait!!

Will try out PES on the Wii this time since you lot seem to enjoy it - see what all the fuss is about..... but the PES2011 360 demo was rather rubbish (in comparison to FIFA)
EA upped the ante with FIFA10 (on the big consoles at least) and PES hasn't caught up yet...

You can't quite compare PES on the Wii with PES on any other system.
The Wii version is unique and that's why a lot of people seem to think that it's the definitive soccer experience on any platform.
So you can't have any expectations coming from the 360, as it is a totally different experience.
Anyway, I'll try this FIFA 11 when I get home tonight after work, I wasn't completely satisfied with fifa 10 for the Wii.
I appreciated the arcade approach and the graphic style, but what I didn't like was the sound effects and shooting animation a la Mario Strikers.
To me it totally lost credibility as a serious soccer simulation .
Hopefully this year they did it less childish ( nothing against the cel shade though ).

I just tried it, and it seems like they dropped the whole arcade shooting / free kicks thing. THANK GOD! Played 3 games now, and only scored twice (against human opponent). Its nothing like FIFA 10 on wii, except they kept the cell shading which looks nice. It's now more a soccer sim again. But I have to hate nintendo for forcing classic controller and not supporting the gamecube controller anymore :@. Now I need to buy 2 extra wiimotes, and 4 new classic controllers just so I can play with friends :|... Really wish there was a hack for wii that supported gamecube controller through the classic controller interface.

I changed my mind about this game ii dont really like it.
i think changing player is broken and to slow with the pointer,so when you change the difficulty to hard it becomes really rubbish.

Phew, thought it was just me on the player switching. I had to keep on checking if i had it on!

Thank god they've got rid of the shake for shoot shit. It's better than FIFA 10 but i still don't know why they have to go with the kiddy look.
PES (whenever thats out) will again wipe the floor with it, as a game. Shame the sales won't reflect that

Adding my impressions... I played Fifa for few hours last night, and I'm frustrated..
There is some good ideas, and I love the "become a pro" (or don't remember the name) thing, even if it must be nothing compared to the 360/PS3 version...
Beginning in 5 vs 5 in street games with different types of goal (mini, elevated...) is really nice, and the possibility to keep only on ne player is good, but IA sucks !!!

Damn... I wish I could have kept playing with just my guy, but then the 10 others (after first season you start real football 11 vs 11) would just run like dummies behind the ball and do nothing! Didn't try much, maybe didn't understand everything yet, will still try, but that is really frustrating! I mean I love PES and no doubt I'll get it, but having a different football game in a different style is nice, no competition between the 2 games. But still, it's annoying to have dummies in my team... ruining the pleasure.

I wouldn't say it's a bad game, but it could have been so much better... just lack a better realisation. I only played with classic controller, I guess it's not the best control system, but well...

If someone has a solution and can manage to play fun games (and serious too... not with guys who never touched a ball...) controlling only one player in a 11 vs 11 game, let me know... I did play only in easy so far, but in my defense, with 10 crippled, it's already hard enough!

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
