Konami has released
a playable demo (1.1GB) of
Pro Evolution Soccer
2008, allowing you to try out the PC demo of the latest edition to Pro
Evolution Soccer series which will hit the store shelves in October 2007 for PC,
PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP and DS.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 features a proprietary adaptive AI system entitled Teamvision, a sophisticated AI programming that learns and adapts according to an individual's style of play. The ball is again treated as a separate entity, with the timing of shots entirely down to the player, while the new AI ensures that defenders work to close down space and block efforts on goal. Similarly, distribution of passes works along the same lines, with players using the space available to them to switch the ball. Close control has also been enhanced with more control when dribbling the ball, and a number of subtle moves added to bypass defenders and move the ball into space.
