Phew.
I was worried last night might be a fluke, so it was some trepidation that I started the game back up.
It soon crashed as I played around with the squad and my PSP rebooted, but I hadn’t lost much. I think I’ll be saving after every match now.
(Got the same draw in the League Cup both times – Leicester, might be tricky.)
I was on the edge of my seat as my next match kicked off. Away at Chester, nine places above us in League Two. I needn’t have worried, it was a good 2-0 win.
(Looking at the official forum for the game, I’ve seen someone else has seen miracles after switching to 4-3-3. I do hope it’s just our teams and management style being suited and not some super game-breaking formation.)

So, I thought I better try out PES before I deleted FIFA, to check that it would still satisfying all my portable footie-related cravings. At first I was all over the shop. I couldn’t even remember how to do through balls. The speed of the game (much faster than FIFA) and the passing system also

Last night Aston Villa won the FA Cup. It’s a shame, then, that the commentators thought the final was a semi-final. No, Clive and Andy, I won’t be looking forward to the final, I just won the bloody thing. FIFA 11, you see, is brilliant, but buggy. Goalkeepers drop balls and then refuse to kick

This, gentle readers, is a tragedy in its purest form. Here we have FIFA 11. It is, basically, the brain to PES’s brawn. A much less physical and muscular game of football, but one that rewards thought and patience. Initially sterile and unfriendly, the more you play it, the more it reveals itself. I’m still

IT WON’T LET GO! HELP! Brilliant, evil game. Whenever I start it up I seem to lose hue amounts of time in the blink of an eye. And now it’s even got a new game mode where you have to hit targets. Bye, bye life.

Last time I blogged about this, I praised it to the heavens. I’m still loving it, but I should perhaps mention that it’s not perfect. There’s odd annoying cosmetic issue, such as teams taking to the field in strips that are far too similar in colour, making it hard to make out your teammates. I

I’ve not played a PES game for years and have had a somewhat complicated relationship with the games when I have tried them. Sometimes it’s felt like I’m having to wait for the game to finish what it’s doing before it deigns to let me offer it some advice on what should happen next, other

I really don’t think I’ve enjoyed a footie game this much in many a long year. It’s so good that I even made a custom team. I’m not sure if I’ve ever bothered doing that before – and if I have, it must have more than fifteen years ago. So, I decided to make a

Yeah, see I knew that would happen. Still, only 1-0. Could have been worse. I’m gonna go and listen to country music.

I appear to be paralysed. Not, you know, physically. I can still type. I haven’t stood up for a while, so I guess my legs might have stopped working, but I can still feel them, so they’re probably okay. No, I’m paralysed in top iPhone footie game World Soccer Champs. (And not because of the

Want to beat the keeper? Then this is the game for you. You start your run and then look for clues as to which way the keeper will dive and then kick the ball – hopefully into the goal. Its kicking mechanism doesn’t stand up against Flick Kick Football and Deadball Specialist, but I like
