Many gamers have complained about the laggy online play across all versions of the game, as well as serious frame rate issues and slowdown, particularly associated with the PS3 version.
Last week Pro-G brought you the news that Konami was working on a patch that would deal with online and offline problems with PES 2008.
The Japanese publisher apologising for the quality of online play with an online notification displayed when gamers enter the PES 2008 lobby. It revealed that the publisher has uncovered “issues which can affect the online gameplay quality of PES 2008” and is working “full strength to find a solution as quickly as possible“.
We will, of course, keep our ears close to the ground on any news of a console patch. In the mean time, lucky PES 2008 PC owners can download the patch from Konami’s website.
