Technique is the touch, including (especially) first touch.
It is as instrumental in keeping control of the ball when running at full speed as when you are trying to lay a high ball dead at your feet.
It is the main difference between the good offensive footy players and the great offensive footy players. There are exceptions to the rule as usual, so no need to mention a few players with rather crappy technique that has done well, those players usually excel in another area of the game.
Solskjær, for example, was not generally better than most Norwegian footy players, he just had above average technique and add extra good shot technique (to use a known PES term) to that, and you have a good finisher. Unusual Norwegian combination though, but not unusual worldwide. However, Solskjær was not a good dribbler, so while technique supports the ability to dribble, wichever way, "Maradonas" gambeta or regular mumbo jumbo "CRonaldo" feints, a good technician does not always make a good dribbler. But a good dribbler always need good technique.
It does not matter what you think it means in Spain, it is what it is regardless, although "on the ball ability" is not wrong, just un-precisely formulated.
Reading the word TECHNIQUE is a lot easier than specifying what I mean, is it not?
Usually, when you talk, you try to summarize things, you don't go and say "technique is a lot of things, but I mean to say his dribbling technique, bla, bla, bla" -- I know what you mean, and I agree with that because that's what it is, but I'm simply summarizing what should already be obvious to anyone with a bit of football knowledge.
As for pes 211 I already refuted your boyfriend techskills argument about the game which he had no answer to. I've given up worrying about certain pedantic intricacies of pes11 this year and expecting it to be a masterpiece., im just enjoy the game for what it is
PES11 is an outdated COM dictated video game with a FAMICOM Foundation underneath all the animations and graphics, that's what PES11 is; you can enjoy the game for what it is, likewise, I cannot enjoy the game for what it is.
It's your opinion, you can feel or think about the game however you want; just don't go around thinking that your opinion is a fact.
Whether you believe I’m talking trash is irrelevent to the facts of the matter. You have no idea on how to make pes realistic because you’ve never made a game in your life and from evidence of the ridiculous concepts you concocted up for what you believe will take pes to the next level.
Thats why I keep telling smart arses like yourself who think you have all the answer to go into making games and lets see how good and realistic it turns out. Too bad you haven’t a fucking clue about reality and you live on the internet of instant gratification where your one click away from where you want to go to the point where you lack the patience to dedicate your time away from essay rambling about the deficiencies of pes yet still playing it like a chump.
You want to ruin other gamers experience just because you don't enjoy the game. You act like a spoilt child, talking in third person as if your something, and then call others dumb for enjoying the game. You can piss right off and crawl back under the hole you came out of.
You cannot pretend to be the authority who decides who knows his Football and who doesn't knows his Football, you have not said ANYTHING about the actual product which we are discussing in this thread: PES11.
You have not played PES11 and you have not actually talked about the product; instead, you are psychoanalysing a person who you don't know: tell someone who cares.
Whether you like it or not, I actually am very well informed in terms of Football Gaming, and I do know how it should play, and I do know why it hasn't improved after almost a decade.
You will not understand my simple argument, because you think that PES11 is restricted by the PS3 Console; yet why is Konami telling me that PES11 is what PES08 should've been?
Certainly, if PES11 was restricted by the PS3 Console, Konami would not be admitting that PES11 is what PES08 should have been; furthermore, Konami would have never admitted the FACT that all PES games to date are just extensions of the FAMICOM era.
So when you say that PES11 is being restricted by a PS3 Console, not only do you sound like a moron; but you are also actually contradicting what Konami has said in the build up to the PES11 release.
The title of this thread reads: "Had to quit Master League, Nearly done with this game"
Do you see me going to the "I love PES11" thread to moan about the product? No, I actually read the title of the thread before using it.
You are a fucking liar with no cojones, if you want to question my argument, provide evidence and actual content, so that I can at least take you seriously.
Everything you have said so far is 100% redundant and a waste of my time, you need to actually say something, SAY SOMETHING; your redundant insults have nothing to do with the actual product and, believe it or not, amount to nothing.
Actually, you know what, I don't give a shit about whatever it is you have to say this time. It is abundantly clear to me that you are impervious to how ridiculous you are and impervious to the fact that you have no actual argument because you have not actually said anything remotely close to relevant or objective.
I never claimed to be anyone important, but apparently I am important enough for you to talk about me more than you talk about the actual product.
Enjoy PES11 for what it is to you, have a kick with it; but please, try to minimize your psychoanalytic bullshit, nobody gives a shit about that, it amounts to nothing, zero, nada: you have no argument, no content, no nothing, you are just bitching for the sake of bitching.
