Second patch for PES 2008

Konami has released a second patch as they continue to fight against the lag that has plagued the PS3 version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008.

The popular football series, rated by many as the number one football game on the PS2, has been widely criticised this time out due to regular lag and slowdown both in offline and online gaming.

Konami has now released a patch that they say will solve compatibility issues when it is played on a standard definition TV set. A previous patch was released before Christmas which helped to lower the regularity of slowdown on HDTVs.

They also added that the free download fixes the slight stuttering effect that occurs when the game is played on a non-HD set.

Gamers will be prompted to download the patch when the game is played online. As with the first patch though, there is no information on how gamers who don't have access to the online features of the game will obtain the patch, and therefore reduce slowdown on their game as well.

    That's always good news. I am still waiting for the game to come out here in Canada which is on March. I could've gotten it from Europe or Asia but I am not that excited about this game because of all the lag and negative comments on the game.

    It's a good game, the lag has of course overshadowed it, but it's not all that bad when you're offline, so it just depends whether you can put up with it online or not.

    It was so stupid of them to release a demo full of lag and slowdowns how would you expect people to get excited about it...

    Well it seems like the is a misunderstanding here. It is not only the PS3 that lacks online.. but the 360 and PC version as well. So sadly it just seems like bad code.

    do you have money to buy a PS3 (or a 360 for that mater) + games you most certeinly have money to pay for a broadband connection. am I wrong? :O

    Im sick of all the glitches on this crap, The gameplay is beautiful but the lack of polish really brings down the experience. Im going to think twice before importing 09 later this year.

    They have to be really serious this time around, especially with the ne release. I mean i won't tolerate this kind of glitches next time
