As a die hard fan of the series i have lamented for the past three versions that they have been practically the same, nothing new actually in terms of gameplay. Pro Evo 2008? Took my first match on highest difficulty settings, played as Poland vs Brazil and won 5-0. It totally blew me off that using the exact same tricks as 2 years ago i scored very similar goals, only that pro evo has prettier animations. Bah.

That's why i'm definitely getting the Wii version. This is the true next step in football gaming for me, at last i'll have full control over not just one player, but a whole load of them. Even if some of the mechanics will be flawed ( i don't think that team AI is going to be very responsive to tell the truth) this version of the game is where the new fun is at. Let me at it. NOW.

i've been a die hard fan too, since the ISSS days. i can tell you i'm not expecting the same type of gameply. From the videos that i've seen the gameplay will be slower, the graphics look pretty bad, and i doubt the online will be as good as its PS3/360 counterparts, and i might add that there is no master league, which is what adds the hardcore aspect to PES. Shooting involves shaking the Wiimote, and that's not very intriguing. They should give it another title name, so that old time PES fans won't be expecting the same. I will rent this game through gamefly when it comes out to test the controls, but i'm not expecting much, i hope to be proved wrong, cause managing the whole team sounds really cool. just one more comment.. SOCCER IS THE BEST SPORT EVER..

 

The only video I saw seemed to be a demo type video for the controls.

The IGN preview of PES2008 for Wii mentioned a lag problem on the PS3 and 360 versions. But I can't say personally because I don't play the game. Also, Master League has been removed, but it has Champions Road, which it seems is a slimmed down version. 

I'm also not seeing the problem with shaking the nunchuck or wiimote to shoot. You have to shake the wiimote in MOHH2 to reload and it feels natural and it works. I don't think pressing a button is any more intriguing, to tell ya the truth.

I am looking forward to this game, even though I'm not even a soccer fan. And I can hardly doubt this game won't be "hardcore" simply because those controls look crazy.

Though I'm not really trying to mark what you said as wrong, I'm just thinking we should wait until the game is out. Same with the Star Wars game... which is being discussed in another thread.
