How to start this thread without being accused of being a fifa fanboy...?!? - Basically I'm not, haven't ever been and think Fifa 10 has some major issues (only tried it to prove a Fifa lover wrong :happy
However, this new evo is leaving me :crymore:
On the plus side, it looks amazing. Easily the best looking football game ever. Passing the ball around feels good and I love the feeling of shooting, as with most of the PES series'.
Unfortunatley, there are some big downsides, even on top player.
Firstly, the AI is poor. on a 4-4-2 formation, I've set my entire midfield, full backs and strikers to attack (on the card system), but I can be moving up the wing with my full back and my winger just stands there :realmad: It exactly the same when you have a winger and the full back won't overlap and strikers either make no run or run towards a defender. The AI is also poor from a computers side, with meaningless passing in midfield/defence, no urgency in attack (even when losing) and very little interest in pressing for the ball when your defenders have it (try just standing there for as long as you can...)
Secondly and the most importantly, when attcking the computers back 4, it will just back of and back off until you around 25 yards out and then 1 will press you. So this allow's you have many shots from this distance and is unrealistic. It can be the same when you are attacking down the wing and the full back will simply let you run. This even happens when it is just your one player breaking, so the computer can't be accused of covering the space etc.
Last gripe is the master league. I know it's supposed to be a more realistic experience, but as a football fan, I could probably tell you the majority of the strengths and weeknesses of Premiership players. So to have to scout EVERYONE to see their stats is frustrating to say the least. Also no development chart is, to me, a downside. I mean, at least give me the option to have this feature on or off (I believe it was possible in other versions). Also not knowing why transfers fail and if players have any interest you is a major gripe and, to me, ruins what I spent over 200 hours doing on PES 2009.
There are also other problems like the bad annimations, very very poor running motions, bad ref's, the worst commentary ever (sounds like they are sat in different rooms / moments in time) I also don't get it why Konami don't just copy other premiership kits to make them at least look similar? This game looks so good, that having plain kits is like having a ferrari and driving it around when it's covered in pigeon crap!!
The reason I've posted this is in the hope that I'm missing something and one of you guys/gals can tell me everythings going to get better or that I'm simply over reacting. I loved PES2009 for all it's sins, but konami just seems to have changed some things that didn't need changing.
Look forward to your comments :boss:
