As you probably know we worked with Konami to release the England kit in Pro-Evolution Soccer 2009 on the 28th March, the same day as the ‘real’ kit was released at Wembley against Slovakia.  The download was a first to be offered outside of the transfer windows and it seems to have been favourably received.  Some of the tweets:

@AdamWoodyatt Apparently you can download the new England kit on PES09 as soon as the game ends on Saturday.

We like Pro-Evo and we wanted to try and do something fun with it.   We love the goals that people create in Pro-Evo (see examples on youtube) and they seem popular so we thought that holding a weekly competition for the best goals created in Pro-Evo would be good.  So that’s what we’re going to do.

How to enter:

1. Record the goals!  As it’s quite hard to get the goals in video format from the Xbox and Wii and Playstation3 and other games platforms you can just shoot the replay of your goals using your mobile phone (if it has video mode) or camera – we’re not too bothered about the quality of the video, it’s the quality of the goals that matter.

2. Upload to youtube.  When you’re uploading use the tag / keyword “Umbro PES2009″ in the title so we can find it.

3. Once every two weeks we’ll post links to the best from the blog here and we will judge a winner.

4. When we put up the next weeks goals we’ll announce the winner from the previous week.

5. The winner will receive any current Umbro football shirt of their choice.

What do you think?

We’ll start this today and the first winner will be announced next Friday 1st May.  From then on the competition will run every other Friday.

Here are some of the best we (Alex) created in the office:
