A Tribute to an Unknown Legend

Alan Curdie — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 00:23:02 +0000

Many thanks to a well known and great friend of WENB, Cannigia of AllsvenskanPES, for this touching piece on a man perhaps unknown to many but without doubt a key figure in not only the Konami football titles he produced but perhaps the genre as a whole.

This individual was Mr. Katsuya Nagae, who passed away in 2008, aged 47. May he rest in peace.

Podcast 094 – No PESimism

Suffwan — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:28:21 +0000

With the big secret now common knowledge to all, we discuss the aftermath of the PES 2011 announcement in the community. Goalkeepers also spice up the discussion in the podcast along with a focus on Konami’s new focus, PES Community! Good times ahead we think.

Jon Murphy Committed To The Community

Kitana Media — Sat, 08 May 2010 12:23:41 +0000

Credit where it’s due, Konami have changed. And I’m not talking about the game, but the community involvement.

To have the leader of the PES Team consistently respond to questions by the fans in a public environment is a huge turn around, something most fans would have dreamt about. But that’s whats happening.

The PES Wants You campaign might have brought little joy last year, but the impact of everyone’s suggestions is evident already in PES 2011, and the commitment shown by Jon on twitter shows more interaction is to come.

Change is happening, lets hope this commitment by our aviator wearing leader continues!

PES2011 Goalkeeper News Emerges

Alan Curdie — Thu, 06 May 2010 10:26:20 +0000

Thanks again to the guys over at German PES super-site prorevo for this excellent spot in the games US press release!

Firing it through Google Translate we get the following:

On the edge of the press release from the American colleagues by Konami Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 we noticed that in this announcement, an additional passage, compared to the news in Europe, exist.

The original US press release reads:

“Improved Goalkeepers: In keeping with the basis of total freedom of movement, players now have more control over their keeper. This greater control Allows for quick roll-outs, instinctive saves, pinpoint accuracy with goal kicks, and precision ball distribution to make quicker breaks or playing down the clock easier. “

Prorevo then dig a little deeper and post :

You have to control more control and be able even the keeper in one-on-1 situations, or at least to influence his behavior, you decide how to respond to the goalkeeper.

Also, you can throw the ball quickly and directly. Currently, there are always a little break where the goalie stands around with the ball. This is bridged with PES2011 and you have more influence on the shedding. So you can for example those not just throwing to a teammate, but also free in the room. Depending on your command.

Furthermore, we would interpret this passage so that the keeper the ball is not automatically jump starts. Thus, for e.g. flay headed for a return of Mann’s own bit of time before you equip the ball with his hands. The striker go but, as in the Realtität to the man at that time just to stop play.

Superb work again guys! For the original, untranslated source of the post by prorevo please click HERE

Introducing PES Fantasy

Kitana Media — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:16:16 +0000

Something we like to do on WENB is introduce new or existing PES related sites to the community. It’s important to realise just how vast and deep it is, and just how much PES inspires some of us to create dedicated sites for the game.

PES Fantasy is a new site opened up by Lewis Stratford. A seasoned PES editor (at the tender age of 14!), he’s been distributing his work for a few years now over on the neoseeker boards, and has built up a solid reputation.

Although the site does require you to sign up to see further than first view, you’ll find some of his work on his separate dedicated forums here. There’s an eagerness to serve the community, with opportunity to request what you would like to see.

We here at WENB would like to wish Lewis and his team all the best in conquering the world with the site ;)

Make sure you pop over and have a look.

Podcast 087 – A Messiah Or Saint?

Suffwan — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:25:22 +0000

It was time that we brought some new blood to the WENB Podcast to freshen things up a little. The “PES Messiah” and I discuss current versions of PES worldwide and many of the releases that are coming out in other regions of the world. Furthermore we debate whether Konami should play catch-up or innovate in a different direction. This week’s special guest star is none other than Mr. Robbye Ron, PES Patcher extraordinaire or “The PES Saint” as I like to call him. The man is a legend in Latin America (actually the Americas as a whole). We talk about everything from PES to helping to make the world a better place through the simple thing that we all have in common, the love of the game. PES Unites!

Below are some of the links that Robbye would like us PES fans out there to support, many of which we discuss in the podcast. Make a change.

Fancy Entering Our PES 2010 Online Tourney?

Kitana Media — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:01:03 +0000

Something WENB has stayed away from is the online tournaments and competitions. Some what down to the perceived quality of the online experience, and because it’s not something we’re known for.

In an effort to change this, staff member danny275 has decided to try and get the WENB community involved in PES 2010 online tournaments. So here’s the deal:

We’ll have a competition starting on the 31st January. Each round will last 3 days (i.e You have 3 days to play your match). We need either 8 or 16 people. In the event that we get less than 16 but more than 8, the first 8 people in here who have said they’ll enter will be in the competition. Currently the tournament is for PS3 users.

Simple as. We’ll see how it goes, and if the community is indeed open to online tournaments we’ll do more. You never know, if it REALLY takes off we could do something with PESRANKINGS.

The future, is down to you ;)

Click here to enter, and good luck!
