It's still too easy for long time fans.
Really don’t like the way that you’re asked to comment on contentious decisions that you can’t see and can then be penalized for criticizing the FA by having control of the team passed to the assistant manager for a game.
Scouting seems a little improved.
Still seems to easy to score and too hard to keep clean sheets and it still seems that mediocre strikers are too likely to notch up 25+ goals a session.

The PES 2008 demo was released on Friday. Just thought this would be a good spot to remind everyone. Seemed way better than the FIFA demo imo.

I don't know. A lot of long term fans are having trouble to be honest. I do find the big clubs in Europe extremely easy but that's why I enjoy taking a small club from a relatively low division and bringing them to European glory.

However, with that said, if you use a number of different tactics, keeping clean sheets is possible. The way I kept clean sheets in this game and in previous games is by religiously rotating tactics during games. I'm assuming you are familiar with the shut up shop and what not?

Regarding average strikers, the only way I can get them 25+ a season is dependent on attributes and building a system around them. Otherwise, I haven't always been successful in that regard . . .

Is PES 2008 coming out on the PSP earlier than 2007. I can't wait until February again! (For Canada btw)

I haven't played since 00/01, what kind of system resources does this thing take nowadays? I'm tempted to buy it but my comp's a bit old (Athlon, 512mb ram)

After replaying the demo with Fulham I retract my claim that it’s too easy, bottom of the prem after 20 games.
As for specs it’s playable just on my 1.4GHz 512MB machine.
