A FAQ on the official Konami Web site has addressed some of the problems gamers are having with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, the latest game in the popular football series.

　　The issues seem to mainly affect the PlayStation 3 version of the game, and include problems with online play, gameplay freezes, and "stuttering."

　　The Konami FAQ advises users that in the case of PS3 gameplay "stuttering" that the problem is caused by users not playing the game in high definition. The solution is that users who can should switch to an HDTV.

　　Konami also admits, "We have uncovered issues which affect [the] online gameplay quality of PES 2008. We are working at full strength to find a solution as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience." Other issues included the PS3 freezing when playing in Master League mode, and freezing when a match is started. Konami says these problems can be bypassed by deactivating the autosave function, and not installing the game on the hard disc.

　　A spokesperson for Konami confirmed that the company was working "all out" on getting a patch released to fix these gameplay issues, but said that it did not yet have a date for when this would be likely.
