Advantages: the best footie game (a mon avi)(in my opinion)
Disadvantages: players/team not up to date, not enough skills
Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is absolutely fantastic. I was not very much into football at the time of this game's release but all my friends were eager beavers to get this game and i got this game by chance as one of my friends had two copies (the other was an unwanted present from other friends).
This game is simply fantastic, it is the most realistic football game ever, much better than fifa;
(i have previous fifa games like fifa 2003 and previous pro evo games like pro evo 2)
1) Fifa have different controls, O is shoot etc
However Fifa games give the players more skill and if you want an easy game fifa is good as its really easy to score - automatic shooting (though newer games can be more advanced)
2) Fifa is very easy, shoot and ball will automatically go towards the goal
However Fifa have a larger franchise and provide games on platforms that pro evo does not like the mobile phone for example.
Fifa also had the rights to the players names (at the time of pro evo 4) and pro evo 4 did not, so the players names are jumbled up versions of the players real names.
Graphics are fantastic, the controls are superb, (eg. R1 sprint, triangle through ball) and I recently figured out (after so many years) more controls, like the right analogue stick not only does skills but also allows you to curl the ball when you shoot.
With Pro Evo 4 there are many trick shots you can do like a good simple shot (if the keeper dives down will go over him/in the goal) is press shoot but before you release press R1 then release and the shot will be perfect (not too much power though) (best from very close)
or you can press L1 when shooting and this will 'lob' the keeper, (go high over his head)this is especially useful if your opponant (like my friends do) like to make their keeper charge out (by holding triangle)
Pro Evo has many modes, they have a standard season mode which is great and easy to complete, you unlock classic/legend teams like legend argentina etc. (with all famous players)
you can also have world's best team and europe's best team which comprises of the best players from each relevent continent.
Best teams to play with on pro evo 4 are: Brazil (as in those days Brazil were the best), Real Madrid (they have fab players) and most other teams too.
You can also edit teams and create players, so I've made rubbish teams like Iran unbeatable etc.
Its great fun creating your own team as you can customise the players looks (eg height) etc.
Training Mode is also great, you can have situation training like shooting, free kicks etc, or free training where you would train with your team against a goal keeper. This is great to practise and build up your skills.
After having played this game for so long I can say that dificulty wise the game is easy. Before the match you can select the difficulty star rating. Basically the higher the rating the more natural the game - i.e. shoot slightly off target and the ball will go off targer.
The latest Pro evo is number 6, most famously on the Xbox 360, I have played this game alot on the xbox and can tell you its much more difficult, and very different. I much prefer pro evo 4! The controls and gameplay are much better!! I stunningly found the graphics more likable on pro evo 4, (it could be the tv i played pro evo 6 on) (also charecters faces were better on 4)
However what pro evo 6 has over 4 is that teams are updated, all transfers occuring in real life are present and teams are changed in terms of ranking and skill.
However you can overcome this as you can download updates for pro evo 4 from the internet and save them to special ps2 USB's that can be inserted into the playstation 2 (I have a slimline and it has usb ports)(they only work with special USB's)
Best MomentS!
I have scored from the halfway line with Zidane, I managed to do the same penalty kick he did in the world cup with Zidane (and the game was made much before the world cup). Zidane is annoying to play with, he's good at shooting but sucks at running, Henry, Rhonaldinho (as he's called in this game), Ronaldo and the likes are great players.
Christiano Ronaldo is nothing special in the game (as he is special in real life), Michael Owen is one of the fastest runners in the game if not the fastest so is great for penetrating defences. (plays for Real Madrid in game) (so is fairly up to date)
Pro evo 7 is out - from the Japanese copy of pro evo called winning eleven. The latest winning eleven game is rated the best football game ever, havent played it yet, dont know how ill get a copy but hell im going to try!
(i think its called winning eleven 2008)
26th october 2007 is the official release date of the real pro evolution soccer 2007. Whether it will be as good as 4....we'll have to wait and see!
I want them to make available and indoor stadium, that would be so much fun!
p.s. I played pro evo 6 on the pc i thought it was better than the xbox 360 version...hmmm
Summary: Pro Evo 4 is the best football/soccer game in my opinion. 6 is good but not as good
