WENB Podcast 084 – New Season Signing

So this is it, the last podcast of 2009. To sign off the year, and with Suff still working extremely hard with work away from the site, we decided to take this opportunity to introduce you to new editorial member Alan Curdie.

Alan has been working as a moderator on the boards (Dodo75), but recently wrote both the PSP and Wii reviews of PES 2010. With him becoming a prominent member of the team we thought it would be best to let you guys get to know him, well in advance of news build up to next years version. But it’s not just 50mins on Alan, as we talk about PES news, including the recently released patch that has many of the community wondering if it did or didn’t effect the actual gameplay.

So sit back and relax with a warm cuppa as WENB sign off yet another eventful year with the poddy.

Enjoy!

New Patch & DLC Hits!

And its nothing but great news for all PES fans!

Aside from the additional footwear and balls, Seabass & Co have been working hard at fixing in-game elements – certain things in direct response to fan feedback. Konami missed a trick when they forget to let users saved custom tactics and formations, especially as it was one of the key inclusions in this years game. Thankfully thats now been fixed, meaning no more re-doing the whole thing before every game. There’s also new connectivity indicators, making it much easier to spot people with poor connection.

But the REAL good news from the update comes once you actually start playing the game. There’s an instant realization that things have changed for the better, without ever being as clear as night and day. The ref’s for example are much stricter, and with it more realistic. Loads more fouls are given, and finally lots more penalties. There’s also a new found smoothness with the game, in how it flows and responds to your commands.

Currently many people are refraining from stating these improvements as facts, but right now the general feeling is a lot has changed for the better. Make sure you download the update as soon as possible and let us know what you think here.

Hit the jump for the press release and full list of boots and balls.

New DLC Coming Monday?

Staff member England spotted a new notification on the online portal website that was published today (see header pic).

Do Konami have a nice Xmas present for us all? To be honest I’ve no idea, there’s been no news or warning from anyone regarding it. It’s clear that it is new downloadable content, and could be something along the lines of the recent update FIFA 10 had today.

Time will tell, only a few days until we find out!

Eurogamer PES vs FIFA On Wii

Much attention has been swiftly taken away from the Wii versions of FIFA and PES since they hit a few months ago, but Eurogamer have tried to remind us all that Nintendo’s family console is home to some decent football games.

Today they conducted a head-to-head article pitting the two rivals against each other, reviewing them in the process. No surprises in who won the battle, although who’s winning the war is certainly a different story…
