I believe UEFA has no distribution rights to team trademarks, unlike the individual leagues. I believe it was a problem with the Spanish league too.

So what do they get with the Champions League licence apart from the CL logo and all their sponsors?

Errr, a complementary drink for Konami?

Gameplay have FIFA and Pro Evo for £39.99 for the 360 and PS3. The only system that Pro Evo is cheaper on is the PS2.

Demos on Live dunno not too impressed seems the exact same just a bit slower. If they've fixed the online play I'll get it right away if not I may leave it a bit. Ball seems to go off in mad ways like just not really smooth or something.

I was playing FIFA 09 and it is actually a great game, but it's not football. 1st match on world class, Aston Villa 7 - 1 Chelsea. It's fun, but come on, have something that flows like football FFS.

What makes you think that won't be the scoreline on Sunday??

Become a legend mode is brilliant. Currently made Crouch a benchwarmer for Pompey because of how good I am. Still, he gets a good run out because my stamina's shite :(

CSLi, you got it for PS3 or 360?

I noticed ASDA had it for PS3 at £27.00!! Didn't see a price for 360 version (although judging by the fact that they also had the TNA game for £20 on PS3 whilst it was £31.something for 360 I'm not holding my breath!)

And how does the 'Become A Legend' mode work? Do you play as a single player with 10 AI team mates?

You have any idea why they're selling PS3 games so much cheaper??

And how different is it playing as one player? I reckon I'd be offside all the time!

Become a legend is like master league, so you've got League A, B, C, D & E (C is the Premiership) and 2 euro competitions. You can play for your country, but I haven't been picked yet.

If you've strayed off side, you get a flag above your head.

Unlike EAs mode, it's not 4 seasons. It's from age 17 up to 30-odd.

I played on Top Player for a bit but it's a bit shit on Legend mode, just because of the really slow build up. Try playing as a striker for a team with one striker on top player. Isolation doesn't cut it....

Also, importing chants!?!?!?!

I was almost contemplating buying FIFA for the first time since FIFA 99, but that has just sold PES to me.

MOTHER FUCKER!!

Just checked the ASDA website. Seems that PES for 360 was also £27 and they had a copy on display!! If only they'd had the price on the shelf.

Fingers crossed they have a copy left tomorrow!!

I gotta say something else about become a legend. You can really see players personalities.

The manager keeps swapping Defoe and Utaka up-front. Defoe gets the ball and just has the goal in mind. If Utakas playing, I'll score because he creates goals instead of being a ball-greedy bastard :D

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Managed to pick it up today from ASDA! For £27!!

Anyone know of a decent website I can download chants from?

All I gotta do now is complete a Treble winning season, unbeaten in the league on Pro Evo 08 before I give this a spin.

Here is a quick comparison of Be a Pro Vs. Become a Legend as they are my fave modes from each game.

Pro: 4 seasons of action, including end of season transfers
Legend: from age 17 to a maximum of 35 (You can retire from international, or alltogether, from 27)

Pro: Can pick your starting age
Legend: You start at 17

Pro: If you're not picked, you play for the reserves, complete with a sell-out crowd to watch that reserve game
Legend: If not picked, you play an inter-squad match for either the A or B team. If you're playing for the A-Team, the managers trying you out to see if you could make the bench

Pro: The next step is a combination of starting games, and reserve games
Legend: The next step is making appearances from the bench

Pro: Once you make it as a starting 11 player, it's impossible to be relegated back to the reserves
Legend: Your form is always monitored and you could be back to the training ground.

Pro: Transfers occur at the end of the season. If you don't pick a transfer, you stay with your existing club no matter what.
Legend: There is a transfer window mid-season and all contracts are until the end of the season. If you've not been playing well, your club may not give you a new contract.

Pro: You can call for a pass (even the type of pass) and your team-mate will usually do what you say. You can even tell them to shoot.
Legend: You can call for passes, but you won't always get them. Until you've earned the respect of your team-mates, you may only get passes given to you when they feel like it.

Pro: Top goalscorer awards
Legend: All major awards (Best player of competition, Top Scorer, Most Assists as well as world, european, domestic and international player of the year)

Pro: Fatigue doesn't seem to affect game-to-game. You will start.
Legend: Fatigue grows on you and you may be dropped to the bench for a rest ahead of important games

Pro: You pick where attributes are allocated and get bonuses for doing certain things during a match, pre-defined before the game
Legend: You pick pick what to focus on, but points come from match experiences and what you did in each match

Pro:If you get made captain, you get to pick the formation and starting line-ups
Legend: I'll let you know if/when I'm made captain ;)

I much prefer Legend mode but YMMV

I'm a bit PO'd about how "old" the squads are. Villa have Friedal, Luke Young, Cueller and Shorey missing. None of these guys were bought on deadline day and that shouldn't be an excuse anyway. The game came out a month and a half after the transfer deadline. How much efforst does it take to put players in the right squad? You don't have to re-render like you would to update Smackdown Vs Raw.

I can't even add Shorey cos there's no Reading for obvious reasons. But I'm sure I remember previous games having unasigned players!? Shorey has broken into the full England squad and yet this game has no trace of him!?

As for the Master League - I'm sure last year you could start in the top division, but they've removed that option this year so you're stuck playing a bunch of random teams in Division 2.

As for the gameplay, I usually struggle going from one Pro Evo to another as they "feel" different, this one is a very easy transition from last years game. I beat Liverpool 4 - 0 with Villa on Regular. Which is something that I would never have done in previous new PES's.

Also, I haven't spotted a "Import Chant" area yet. Why would PS3 get this exclusive and 360 get nothing??

I'm sure in Master League you couldn't start in the top division last year.

Yeah, there is a cheering stance option. Not checked it out fully yet though.

And I know you could start in the top league cos I finished 6th and qualified for the Masters Cup in my first season last year.

LOVING Become a Legend even more now. Chelsea were very active in the summer, they bought myself, Babel and Van Persie and we are indistructable.

How long did it take you to get some actual match action rather than a training match?

For Pompey, about 5 games. Broke into the Chelsea bench after only 2 though.

Hasney does it play like the demo? Because tbh I found the passing in that a bit hit and miss, and for some reason it had ball on string syndrome as well :-\

Become a legend is fantastic. I am literally playing this game to death.

It is fantastic. Shame i'm absolute pish!

lol. Glad I'm not the only one then.

Took me 12 or 13 training matches to make the bench!! Although when I got some game time I should have scored on debut, was kept out by a fine save in my second appearance and bagged my 1st professional goal (in fact my first goal full stop) against Villa (the team I support) and then in the last game of the half season I won MIP (Best player on losing team) in a game against Liverpool.

Had offers from Sunderland, Stoke, West Ham and Fulham in the Mid Season transfer window but stuck with Wigan for now.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this mode but, like Confused, it's taking up most of my game time - not even started Master League yet!

ahem :mad:

Dunno, didn't play the demo. Passing seems pretty good to me though.

You had the chance to play for Sunderland but didn't go???!!!

What positions are you all playing? Up front?

I've got two going now, my first is up front (the Pompy then Chelsea one) but I've decided to be a center back in top player skill as well.

Not happy though, Chelsea keep putting me out on the wing :(

Yeah, I'm an Attacking Midfielder but often end up playing up front, a lot of the time as a solo striker.

I didn't think you had the option of centre back!? I was sure my options were all midfield / forward options (LMF, RMF, CMF, W, SS, FW, etc).

See, I thought I picked CMF myself, but the tells me I'm a CB and that's where I play. Might just be a bug :(

Hansey, you got any tips for BAL?

I'm playing Attacking Midfield for Wigan. My own shots always balloon over and my team mates don't seem to be able to finish anything I provide for them. I'm pretty much always in the first XI but I'm not attracting offers from any bigger clubs, etc.

Don't shoot from range, a pass (even if not finished) is going to do more for your rating than skying a shot (I don't think I've scored a goal from outside the box yet)

Corners are your friend. If you're not taking them, fuck it and take up a position on the edge of the 6 yard box, by the near post and head that shit in.

Always look down the wings for a chip through ball on the break, and storm into the box.

Get a transfer to a club around you that has good strikers. I know Zaki and Hesky are good IRL, but neither can finish in the game. If you get an offer for pompy, snap that up and you should be assist leader in no time.

Funny you should say about corners...all 3 of the goals I've scored have come off corners or crosses from that area.

Thanks for the advice.
