PES2008 PS2 version is the lost game / video thread

Hey guys! I finally discovered this gem on emulator and it plays awesome!

I was wondering if there was an original season option file with the Bundesliga included? I tried searching in the thread but couldn't find one.

I've tried @Juventino32's OF and it's really awesome, a very well made OF!. :) But even though I love the J-League, I would also like to have an option with the Bundesliga (perhaps replacing Eredivisie, or being in "other leagues") to have a more "European" experience.. If anyone could give me a hand finding one, it'd be much appreciated, thanks! :TU:

Try mine. It has the Bundesliga.

WTF? So random, I know the guy in your avatar! I'm listening to him right now whilst typing this. You're an O&A fan???

My avatar is Antwan Kumiya. He is a Tunsia knife fighter. Yes, I listened to every show from 2004 to 2014. I am listening to them again in order.
 
@the_dude Thanks a lot!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I just tested it and it works like a charm! :TU:

A question though.. Is this the same Juventino's OF with Bundesliga? Or is it a different OF altogether?

It is different. It has Bundesliga. Then I added Zenit, CSKA Moscow, Shaktar Donestsk, and Legia Warszawa because I like Russian and Polish clubs.
 
I posted it in the Retro-PES thread but maybe it's better to ask here.

I do have a question : is the USA version of PES 2008 (released after PES 2008 Europe and Winning Eleven 2008 Japan) plagued with the same database issues (5000 salary points, ...) as its European release counterpart ?
 
Played several ML seasons on it... never saw it happening
If you've the game, can you let me know if the french audio comments are from Darren Tulett ?

I've just ordered the USA game. If it does not have the database issue and it also has French commentaries, it will be a nice version for my needs.

Can you also unlock the extra diffiulty setting in the US version ?

Hey Juventino, sorry for the wait

Yes, it doesn't have the database issue... this is from my current longest ML save, on 4th season, the most expensive players:

As for the french commentaries, these are the commentators:

But the extra difficulty isn't in the game.
 
Thanks for replying !
Ah it's fun to see that in the USA version, they changed the "coverage" person.

Also, the salary issue is happening with players created in an "Other League C" team.
I remember that to test the issue, I used to create "Lehman" in spot PlayerA1 (Team A) (using the import feature of the PES editor) and then start a ML. His salary used to be 5000.

If you start a ML with hidden/classic players disabled, are they still appearing ? In the European PS2 release, the issue is there but no in the PSP version.

I tried the game and I can't believe Konami didn't fix the 5000 point issue for the US game. The game came out in March 2008 in the USA so I didn't buy it back then. I bought the European version. It was in German and I dont speak German.

So the only game that doesn't have the issue is World Soccer Winning Eleven 11?

It's amazing indeed, given that PES 2008 USA has been released after WE 2008 (WE 11) where the issue is solved. Come on Konami ...
I guess you got the French / German version. :-)

I'm currently working on an WE 2008 OF.
 
Maybe i never saw the 5000 players becuase i play with the original DB with only the nomes corrected

But at least this version doesn't have the contract renewal bug

Indeed, I noticed in the European release that default player Gutierrez asks 0 points for his contract renewal.

The European ML is so bugged (5000 points, 350 for Japanese & Korean players, hidden/classic players always showing up, contract renewal) that I've started to create an OF from scratch for WE 2008.

It will contain the original DB, with all names correction, kits of unlicensed teams + other league C filled in with J2 league, Boca Jr and 2 other J1 clubs with all stats taken from JL 2008 game.

Interestingly when I played this I had a few players in my team jump to 5000 but when buying players I noticed a lot of players at 1 point, I gave up as it was going to bankrupkt/game over me.
