This game is not about learning to play the game on patience or improve on your dexterity, reflex skills or tactical mind.
Behind the facade of bull-shitting "simulation" there are cunning and sadistic scripting choreographic events to make it looking like You have the control but in fact You don't.
The AI of your team mates are deliberately programmed to fail. Do You realize that most of your conceded goal is always initiated when one of your AI team mate suddenly stops in his run, being pushed out of his path by an invisible scripted event, being carried backwards a quarter of the field by an opponent striker barging into him, by suddenly tumbling, falling over backwards when an opponent just at his vicinity (no collision needed).
Do you realize that your defenders are programmed to always tuck themselves behind the opponent strikers at any through pass, tipping tapping like drunken monkeys behind him and You can not do anything if this animation triggered, only at the moment when he strike that You have a semblance of control back. But it is already too late...
Your controlled player and your AI teammate or even the ball always WAITS, PAUSES, DELAYS its natural course, trajectory and response, until the game deems your opponent regain upper hand control, then the game will let your input into play or the game will re-trigger AI of your team mate.
The ball followed a 2 -tier hybrid of law in this game: Simulated physics dictated by game script and cheating mechanism.
The ball physics has been tinkered with to give it an unnatural helpful bounce to your opponent. It seems that the collision/momentum system just makes the ball drop/snap to the opposition, defying the laws of physics.
The ball has its own AI script built in, to speed up, slow down, delay its rolling speed, changing abruptly its trajectories, avoiding a player, seeking a player, constantly magnetized/ sticking to one's feet, the ball is playing the favorite throughout the game, just like the pre-programmed to be bias and corrupted referee.
The input of your game controller is delayed, ignored, altered at will. That's why You have no chance to response when pressured by your opponents. That's why You always have this constant frustrating infuriating feeling that You know a certain event was gonna happen but totally powerless to prevent it and this frustration is wearing you down as it gets on your nerve CONSTANTLY, annoyingly, arrogantly, blatantly.
This poor excuse of a "sport" game is designed by obnoxious sadists to be played by "patient" masochists, who may randomly enjoy it.
There is no other single game in the market designed with the passion to screw up human player as dedicatedly, fervently and BLATANTLY as this game when it destroying any shred of concept of sport fairness, game developer integrity, ethics and honesty.
It's a masterpiece in showing how arrogant game programmers can deceptively and maliciously screw up/disregard the human player efforts over and over again.
Your skill and experience is not appreciated and honored in this game. You have no trust in game mechanism because there is no integrity and consistency or logics in events unfolding in the match. There is no settled rule to live by in this game. It will screw You up whenever it wanted (it is programmed to be triggered at certain time or event in the match).
They say a giving someone a "sporting" chance, but human player has no chance in this poor excuse of a "sport simulation" game.
This is the Call Of Duty of soccer, with rubberbanding, scripted event built in game mechanism.
This is typical JAPANESE SADISTic game design philosophy PES METAL GEAR RISING: RE-VENGEANCE with bosses that stubbornly refuse to die and ridiculously powerful and when you play the game with all your fingers aching, bleeding and catching yourself swearing, cussing...You ask yourself a question if You are a masochist or not.
You should not invest your sporty passion and enthusiasm, your emotional energy, your mental well-being into this treacherous travesty of entertainment.
