Picking up on various discussions and my own downright frustration regards PES’ current penalty system I thought it would be good to look back at previous footy games take on spot kicks for some inspiration.

After taking what can only be best described as a long break from videogames (I am still playing them, just not with the same passion as a few months ago) I decided to dip back into PES2010 with a bit more vigour recently expecting nothing more than a half decent, but flawed digital kick about [...]

After the most recent podcast I thought it would be a good idea to elaborate on a topic that was touched upon on my first team outing with the team. D-pad or Analogue? It is a debate that continues to rumble on in the PES universe. But what if instead of the developers offering both [...]

There used to be a time when any mention of tricks and skill moves sent a shiver down the backs of PES fans. It was at a time when FIFA utilised them as cheap moves to beat an opponent, during which in PES using natural movements and wrong footing an opponent was all that was [...]

It’s been crazy over the last 24hrs to say the least. We had a video released by JVN, which drew mixed responses. We then had a preview from another site taken down as it was conflicting with NDA’s. Finally we had other tidbits put back without any reason why. Safe to say most are in [...]
