Well, I didn't say that PES changes much. I just said I didn't notice much difference, for example, from FIFA 15 to 16. I even mentioned the game engine change on my post above. I think FIFA does change, maybe a little bit more than PES, but I think the changes made (not only if FIFA, but also in PES) aren't enough to make us buy a brand new game for it's price. Also, another thing I forgot to say above is that FIFA doesn't give enough attention to small teams. If you go to a smaller league you don't have GK kits, for example. In PES, you see that even small teams (licensed ones, of course, for example, the french Ligue 2 teams) get their real kits and details.
But I understand your point of view. I like FIFA but I play more PES, so probably you know FIFA better than me... :innocent:
But regarding changes on PES, I know they aren't much, but let me make a list of changes I noticed in these last years:
- Gameplay was changed, I noticed a difference in the way the game plays (for the better) from PES 2017 to PES 2018.
- Goalkeppers were also improved, in PES 2018 they make better saves more often. Bugs still happen, but they are much better
- Graphics were also improved from PES 2017 to PES 2018. Player faces, for example, are more realistic.
- In terms of content, it could be better, but they have added some new things. From PES 2016 to PES 2017/2018 they have added more slots for kit importing (if you import them in small size), more collar models for kits, more stadiums, both generic (those are important too since not every team can have a licensed stadium) and licensed (Anfield, Wanda Metropolitano...), the ability to edit those fake teams in other european teams that poluted our ML (from PES 2016 to 2017), the export/import team feature that is so important for us... etc.
But I agree that there are many changes that Konami needs to do. As you said, they could add more climate conditions. Snow and fog would be good already
But they seem lazy. Can't they add snow? Damn, is it so hard?
Another thing that would be nice was dynamic weather and time. For example, you start a game in a cloudy afternoon and during the game the time would actually pass, it would get darker and the game would end in a rainy night, for example.
In terms of content, as I already said, they could add more options for us to edit. Why not? Maybe some more leagues, including a generic european league with 2 tiers. And the option for us to change the nationality of a team. And another option for us to remove/edit the player miniface that appears on game plan (would be nice for editors).
Regarding the leagues, FIFA has many leagues but there are many leagues that they forgot. FIFA leagues are enough if when you're the regular player who likes to play in Premier League, La Liga, etc. But not everyone is like that. I'll use my case as an example: I like a good challenge, and that includes lesser known leagues and lower divisions. Here are some of the interesting leagues that aren't in FIFA (and that we can create in PES):
- Chinese League (this one should be a priority, many people like it)
- Greece League (just like PES, FIFA also has 4 teams from Greece, why not full league?)
- Croatia League (seriously FIFA, not even Dinamo Zagreb and Rijeka?)
- Czech League
- Some african football, like South Africa league, Egypt League, or even CAF Champions League.
- Portuguese 2nd league (seriously, they have Germany 3rd league, why not even 2nd portuguese league, a country which have so many good young talents? I think it would be good for Carreer mode. I've been creating this league for PES 18 and it attracted some interest so far
)
- Also, FIFA has troubles licensing Brazil league, Chile league, Italian Serie B, some portuguese teams, several national teams, etc. On PES we can fix those problems; on FIFA we can't. So, in several cases, PES ends up being more authentic than FIFA, even without licenses.
I could keep writing more suggestions and more leagues but I think this post is already long enough... (I'm sorry I made you read all of this... Congratulations if you did :laugh
