The best way I can put it is this; Take an rpg, e.g. Skyrim and compare that to the old rpg books you could get. In Skyrim you can choose what you do, if you die it's usually your own fault. In the books you get a preset choice and you roll a dice to see the outcome. In PES you could go in for...

To me, the commentary hasn't changed for years. It's very rarely apt to the situation in hand and is incredibly bland. Surely the budget could stretch to a few new sentences rather than than the same stuff parroted out year after year?

Remove any and all scripting. I should be able to run at all times. Thier keeper has the ball? That shouldn't mean I loose the use of my legs. Always respond to commands. If there is a freekick being taken and I am on the line hammering clear and the ball comes near me... CLEAR THE BALL, ffs...

I truly believe they could make this the best footy game out there if only they would listen - when it all goes correctly, as in the game actually doing what you're telling it, not necessarily the score line of the game, it's an amazing game, but when you're playing amazing yet every single shot...

I'd like to see the after match report that used to show which parts of the pitch were most played in and where shots were taken. Always useful to see how you're playing and if you need a bit more width.

If you like 'football on rails' that's up to you, personally I want to play the game, not have the game play for me.

Have to agree. Each PES game has been adding and adding to a broken idea. That broken idea is that rather than your actual input *always* controlling the game, that sometimes KONAMI will take control or 'tweak' things; Why can't I run if thier goalkeeper has the ball? How can I defend /...

I just want the controls to do as I want *all* the time. I don't want to lose the ability to run because they have the keeper has the ball or they have a free kick. I don't want my player to mindlessly run after a pass that it's obvious the opposition is going to get, I *could* run and...

Well, ignorant of the obstruction rule at least.

I believe thier biggest problem is the PS2 - they still support it... If this things written for the lowest common denominator then that means somewhere in thier design they have to have a 'simple' system for the ps2 to fall back on to be able to cope, seems thier paying the price. The AI and...

I think the thing they need to get into thier heads is at no point, for any reason should we NOT be able to control a player in the way we want and at NO POINT should the computer AI become superhuman or be allowed to cheat. Don't add artificial barriers and call that gameplay - if the...

It's just so frustrating that sometimes it just decides "this is how we want it to go" and then that's it. Take when the opposition goalie has the ball. See that player out on the wing. The one you could run and mark and get the ball from? Well tough cos they've decided your players aren't...

I have to agree, KONAMI seem far more interested in scripting the game then providing actual control. How many times does the ball bounce and magically go straight to a player (usually the opposition), it doesn't just figure where the ball bounce and leave at that. I find when you defend it...

KONAMI don't give a shit. They have your money. Simple as. They'll only actually fix this pile of shit they call a game when they can't sell it.

Ya can use the left analog stick fine for dribbling IMHO - so why not use the right stick to control the team - like an "I intend to move play in this direction" stick, or to initiate wing play/middle attack or predefined runs/plays. As it is at the moment the AI just isn't on the same...
