Boards.ie PES2008 League 2008 (PS3 Online)

jebuz

Hi Lads,

Since the idea of the boards cup seems to be struggling to get numbers, I decided to create an online Boards.ie PES6 league for the PS3 on PESrankings.com. It's a league structure with 2 leg fixtures so hopefully will keep us occupied for a while and it might even be fun. While there's no emphasis on rushing the fixtures, I would add that if you commit to this to make sure you are going to finish it out because it just ends up ruining it for the rest of us.

So here's the story:

1. Register if you haven't already on http://www.pesrankings.com. This is where the league will be hosted. You can check fixtures, league standings and chat on this site, it's very accommodating.
2. When we get enough players, I'll generate the fixture list (I would imagine 10-12 players would be enough, we'll see)
3. Use this thread to set up a meeting time, meet in our event chat room (on the site) 5 minutes before the agreed time to swap PES ID's and get the game going. The winning player then enters the score on the event page.

Here are the league settings:

Platform: PS3 (Online)
Teams: Club
Duration: 10 Mins
Type: 2 Leg Fixtures
Player Condition: Random

Now hopefully there won't be conflicts since we're all upstanding citizens of the law but should this happen, get in contact with me and we'll try sort it out like men, men that built the Eiffel tower out of metal...and brawn.

Here is the event link: http://www.pesrankings.com/event/?id=20293
The passwords is: 1Sd31ciC

Let me know here if you have signed up, when we think we have enough we'll get it started and the world will be a better place and we will find one true champion worthy of his title, or her title...nah. Spread the word!!

jebuz

Jaysus lads, anyone?

My new target is now 2 players...

dionsiseire

i'll sign up when i get a chance

just havnt actually sat down at the PS3 in weeks

jebuz

good man dions....something

dionsiseire

ok i signed up

if anyone wants to play a game with me the best thing to do is catch my on MSN, if its after 7pm and im on msn, 9 times outta 10 im at home so should be able to play

s_carnage

I'd be on for signing up. It probably won't be till tomorrow evening or thursday though.

Sounds good though!!

jebuz

Nice one! Anyone else lads? There was a good few up for the other cup Sarge suggested, we will still go ahead with that I'm sure but I feel it could be a while before we get the numbers required. This would be a nice stop-gap to get things going and meet some players, maybe gauge who's the biggest threat on boards

dionsiseire

What are the rules

Any clubs that cant be selected?
What about conflicting choices?

jebuz

Yes any clubs, I reckon we select our clubs as we sign up, conflicting choices essentially don't affect the game so it shoudn't be a problem, what to you reckon?

Dion, I added you on MSN just incase you're wondering who the wierdo is

dionsiseire

thats grand, if im on msn in the evenings im generally at my laptop meaning im at home and could potentially be free for a game of pro evo, league or not

i only play people in ireland these days, im sick of people abusing the chat saying cheating this and lag cheat and stuff. how do these idiots not realise its laggy for both of us

anyway there seems to be far less lag against irish players so i prefer just having a decent online experience, enjoyable opponents

i dont know who to pick, i normally pick newcastle as im a fan, but recent events have me boycotting playing as newcastle and if dennis wise or gus poyet are the next manager im done with them.

so i need to pick a new team

I'd Probably take

Real Madrid
Man United
Valencia
Roma

If anyone wants one of the bigger teams they can have them, im not bothered as long as i get 1 of those 4

jebuz

We're allowing multiple teams though right? So there could be more than one person having Newcastle (strange thought!) I'll probably go with ManU although I started trying Barcelona online and seems to be doing better.

Yeah I know what you mean about the lag, was playing last night, very laggy game and this italian guy says "everything ok for you" or something and i said "no, bad connection" and then all he says is "f**k you". I went on to beat him 2-0 but he disconnects in the 89th minute, something else I don't understand. Somebody goes 3-0 down and they automatically quit! its a pain in the ass!

I'm usually free most evenings but don't really use msn, if you want to add my PS3 so I can see you're online, the psn ID is "wildoaks".

dionsiseire

Cool well i'll probably play with Roma or Real Madrid so

i hate those people too, i dont see how they dont realise that you are just playing the game too, and they have all these things programming into their chat, meaning they rely on them to make them sound better than they are

sad

well im an msn junkie unfortunately and im normally prompted by other for a game on the laptop before i turn the ps3 on, i find the PS3's interactivity to be slow and unusable, no proper chatting really and very tough to actually get a game going through it

pesireland

i'll play if there is still room, i'll sign up now and should be on tonight after 10pm for a game if anyones available

jebuz

Holy crap Pes, there's room for small country still!...thats 4 confirmed plus my mate said he'd join up...welcome!

I'll keep track of people that have signed up,their pro evo ID's & team on the first post, whats yours pesireland and what club?


EDIT: Can't edit my first post and the first few after that, but can edit my last few, is there some sort of expiry time where you can no longer edit posts? Would have been nice to be able to keep track of everyone signed up on the first post

Also why it the thread called Pes6 surely it should be PES08 yeah as pes6 was not available on PS3

HaHa Spanked Nailz online the other night 4-1 and scored a belter of a free Kick

jebuz

jebuz

Sh!t I just realised the PES6 thing in the title, I hope that wasn't putting people off, should be PES2008 I'll ask a mod to change it, or if a mod is reading this, could you change it please?

Nailz

dionsiseire

good friendly with me and jebuz there, over turned a 2-1 half time scoreline to him to win 3-2

5 shots on target, 3 scored, thats how i roll

good game mate, i look forward to future battles

jebuz

yeah yeah :rolleyes: nah was a cracker of a game, some nice football played. I've got a reserve tank of goals waiting for the league to start, don't you worry!

They still haven't changed the title of the thread, perhaps more would join if they knew it was PES2008 not PES6...my bad

dionsiseire

ah well i might move out of second gear for the league so

i doubt the title is putting people off
even the slightly curious will read the thread

Nailz

Anyone around on PSN for about half 8ish?? Would be nice to drub to noses of my fellow boardsies in their own shìt while take revenge on my arch-nemisis, Trevor, for his utter jammyness last week!!

I think people should write match reports after games, it'll be nice to get the real picture of what went on.

Nice 1 mate. I'll get signed up to the league tomorrow. PESrankings.com is firewalled on me in work

jebuz

Good stuff, let us know when you're sorted, everyone else ready to play?

brian plank

WindmillWarrior

Thats me signed up now as well

jebuz

Cheers lads, hey brian, any news on those other players? we have 7 now, that will make a decent league so might generate the fixtures later on today if nobody else joins.

jebuz

Ok guys,

Since PES2009 is out soon and some of you may or may not be trading in your old PES2008...it's time to rumble!

Fixtures can be found here > http://www.pesrankings.com/event/fixtures/?id=20293

League Table can be viewed here > http://www.pesrankings.com/event/tables/?id=20293

Chat Room here > http://www.pesrankings.com/chat/?id=20293

So how is this going to work? I think we need a few rules to keep things running smoothly, well not rules, more guidelines

1. 7 players, we play each player twice (H&A), thats 12 games.
2. 10 min games, club teams, player condition is GREEN (normal). I know it says random on the first post, but I think this is probably better, unless anyone disagrees? Also you don't need to select a particular club for each game, that could get messy, so any club any game. Also NO EXTRA TIME, NO PENALTIES.
To make it a little more balanced - the following teams CANNOT be used - MAN UTD, CHELSEA, BARCELONA
3. If you request a game here on this thread, you are the home team, if you respond to a request on the thread, you are the away team. Obviously you can't be home twice, so if you get a response from a player you have already played at home, you are now away - common sense should prevail here.
4. Arrange a time to play, and meet at the chat room at that time.
** IF you arrange a game and do not show up, it is automatically a 3-0 victory for the opponent - we'll make 10 minutes the deadline - no exceptions unless you are dead or very seriously injured. If you have arranged a game and then find out you can't make it, then at least try give some notice to the other player that you can't make it - if both parties are happy, the game can then be rescheduled. **.
The home player then requests the ID and invites the away player for the game and off you go. Home player enters the score on the fixtures page on the website.

Alternatively if you just log onto the chat at anytime and find a player there you haven't played yet, by all means have a game if you're both happy to go ahead, make sure to arrange who is home and away there and then.

So there we go that should do it, is there anything I've left out, or does anybody want to add anything before we get going?

To start it off, I should be free for a game this evening anybody up for a beating?

brian plank

normal condition is best. the way you suggest organising to play wont work. the handiest way is just put your psn and pes id up here and add everyone as a friend. then when you see someone online play them twice and the winner submits the score. home and away isnt really important and can be agreed in the pes chat before kick off. my psn and pes is johnthegreatest.

jebuz

Hey Brian, whatever works to get games played, I'm happy with! I presume you mean adding players on the PSN network, PES doesn't let you see if your friends are online or does it?

PSN: wildoaks
PES: conormccauley

WindmillWarrior

I'm up for a couple of games tonight if anyone wants to get this league off the ground?

jebuz

I should be free for a bit Windmill, whats your PSN and PES ID's?
