PES 2008: Pro Evolution Soccer | Xbox 360

About the Game

PES 2008 updates the clubs and players for the 2007/2008 season, this time including some never before featured clubs. At its core, the gameplay is updated in a way that goalkeepers won't be able to easily catch every ball, players will stumble on each other, slip and try to keep balance, be able to simulate fouls and hope they don't get caught by the referee, and so on. This time, the English League has imaginary emblems for unlicensed clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and others, certain other clubs still remain with proper insignia. However, their player names and statistics are correct.
