Serbia is not replacing Serbia & Montenegro as Serbia and Montenegro are now two separate contries and therefore players are not the same while most of them are playing for Serbia some of them like Mirko Vucinic are playing for Montenegro.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.228.74.13 (talk) 10:04, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Probably because they don't want to end up like Final Fantasy, a decade from now, with Pro Evolution Soccer 16. Aside from that (and the ability to have a title that the public can easily put side to side with EA's FIFA series), I couldn't really say. --Dreaded Walrus  t c 04:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I have just read a review for the PS3 I'm gutted!!!
PES's PS3 debut stumbles far too often
The bitter battle between fans of the two next generation consoles can at times be a nasty exchange. Supporters of Microsoft's Xbox 360 take great pleasure in pointing out, at every opportunity, the PS3's failings - the lack of exclusive triple-A games, the high price and the late ports. The PS3 camp claims a more powerful console, HD movie playback built in and the ability to fit more on a Blu-ray disc compared with a DVD. But one thing that PS3 and 360 fans alike must admit is that developers are, on the whole, finding it hard to get to grips with Sony's console. Some have pointed out the complexity of the system, while others speak of issues with the way the console handles memory. Either way, we have seen some very high-profile PS3 games that have suffered from slow-down, less than impressive graphics and glaring drops in frame rate. Unfortunately nowhere is this more apparent than in Pro Evolution Soccer's debut on the PS3.
Put simply, the game suffers from horrible slowdown and drops in frame rate that happen too frequently to ignore. The first thing we did when we booted up the game was start a two-player exhibition match between Newcastle (one of two licensed English teams, the other being Tottenham) and Barcelona. We randomized the stadium and the weather effects. It turned out we played in Estadio Da Luzii in the rain, in the wide view of course, and this is what we experienced.

Whenever the ball gets more than a few feet above head height, you'll notice the frame rate drop to worrying levels. Goal replays are a jerky mess. The game will slow down to what feels like a snail's pace whenever more than half of the players are on screen at the same time. There's quite significant and frequent tearing too. Perhaps you can get used to the slowdown, if you play long enough. But the annoying thing is that when the game inexplicably and implausibly slows down, it puts you off your timing. Well-timed sliding tackles turn into dangerous lunges, and, with the new super harsh refs, usually result in a red card. Split second decision making and well-judged shots are made almost impossible when the penalty area is crowded because the game engine suffers a stroke. PES has always had issues with slowdown, but I'm sad to say that PES 2008 on PS3 is the worst for it in the series. Quite frankly, this isn't the next generation, silky smooth, high-definition interactive experience PS3 owners were promised when they handed over their hard-earned cash.
We were so shocked by the slowdown and frame rate problems that we dropped the resolution from 720p to standard to see if it had any effect. All it did was take the HD sheen off proceedings. Then we tried using the AV lead the PS3 comes bundled with to see if that helped. The only difference here was the graphics looked even worse than they do normally. Stunned, we plugged the HDMI cable back in and put the resolution back up to 720p just to give the game one, last chance. PES has given us so much pleasure down the years that it at least deserved that. We set up a game just as before, in the rain, in the same stadium and with wide view, and we experienced the same problems again.
... graphically the game is distinctly average. In a wide view (the view any serious PES player plays in) that game looks poor compared with the same view in Fifa 08.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.127.24.69 (talk) 14:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: There is no reference to this section, there should be links to some official reviews like IGN, etc. Also I also don't see any proof that this game has been bashed by everyone, and there appears to be some difference between the PS3 performance and XBOX 360 performance offline (whose online peformance definately is poor).

replies: text:  The XBOX 360 version is buggy, replays are jerky and unwatchable, but more than that the live mode is completely unplayable with the ball floating around at random then catching up with itself. Sometimes ending up with the ball in the net, then correcting itself   by taking the ball back out of the net again and giving a corner for example. The game just wasn't finished.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.8.45 (talk) 16:01, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
