Konami’s 2008 entrant to its hugely popular Pro Evolution Soccer franchise may have failed to emulate the overwhelming success of its predecessors – not least because of a host of gameplay glitches – but Japanese developer Konami isn’t about to give up on its long-running sporting heavyweight.

"The free download fixes the slight stuttering effect that occurs when the game is played on a non-HD source, and will be downloaded automatically when the game is [next] played online."

This latest patch follows on the heels of a fix released at the tail end of 2007 that addressed problems with frame rate processing, slowdown, and online lag apparent on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.Konami has stressed that it will continue to investigate possible ways to extend player enjoyment when it comes to PES 2008, and will maintain its drive to create ongoing improvements for the game.

Currently 55% downloaded of 130mb..... I have HDTV and after searching posts such as this it would seem I may be wasting my time as the patch/update only fixes issues with SDTV owners... Nice of Konami to tell me this before I waste 2hrs downloading it. Well I'll just hope that there is some improvement in it for me. The frame rate issue is sadly the most frustrating aspect of this game and generally occurs at the most critical points of the match(the goal box scramble). Overall the game is brilliant - Tip - use pitch #9 for smooth goal box area frame rate. Sadly this can't be done in master league. Ohh - what happened to man of the match? and of course MySpace.com sux.
