Een demo van de game Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is vandaag uitgekomen. De opponent van FIFA 08 is inmiddels te downloaden via de website van onder andere Gamershell. De demo weegt in totaal zo’n 1.1 gigabyte. De gehele versie van het spel zou gepland staan voor 26 oktober aanstaande.
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.
