Rolf! what you are saying is that you dont like PES 2011 because now you can not do the ¨Road Runner¨ with Messi, Kaka, C.ronaldo, Walcott or any fast dude with Red arrow so that you can go all the way make such a crappy goal? in my opinion that really pisses me off.....sorry for the words, but everytime I play with guys online same thing, get messi, kaka or C.ronaldo, go all the way stop go to the right or left kick goal or pass goal....wtf? I do touch the wall with the team or if I use messi or etoo atleast I do a cross the ball....that fact is that the defense had improve it and now many people wants to quit because its getting harder, now if you are switching to fifa 11 let me tell you that it is the same thing as fifa 10, no joke, I have both demos in my ps3 and same thing, besides you can not run at the same speed all the time in fifa cuz you get tired.....
I have no idea about whom you wanted to talk with, since you quoted no one.
However, the game is not harder or more difficult, the game is as dumb and as easy as it's always been.
So what, I cannot run past players with Messi.... is that supposed to make the game more realistic?
I cannot do the "road runner" but you know what?
With PES11, I can now do the "split the defense wide open with a very long pass through the ground, by using the same cheap tactic every single time, with just about anyone who has decent passing accuracy".
So where is this great improvement that PES11 has to offer? Where is the improvement? They replaced the "road runner" flaw with another flaw.
You know, if you take one step forwards and then take one step backwards.... you are still in the same place.
There you have PES11, in the same place PES10 was, one step forwards and one step backwards: same old trick with a new name, "engineered for freedom" -------- you do know that the game is in fact very restrictive, do you not?
PES11 is not close to realistic, because you know what? PES11 functions the same way PES10 and PES5 function, it is the same old load of bullshit.
PES11 is not enjoyable for me, a stupid dribbling system, a passing system that does not actually fit in with the rest of the game, a defensive system where you cannot even measure something as basic as tackling for the ball, etc, etc.
So wait, I can measure the direction of the pass with one button, and the power of the pass with an entirely different button; right?
So why.... can I not measure the direction of the tackle with one button, and measure the distance of the tackle with an entirely different button?
It makes little sense to have a passing system where different elements such as direction and power are determined by different buttons.... implemented into a game where you cannot measure the direction nor the distance of the tackle.
How am I supposed to calculate something as basic as tackling for the ball? How can I calculate a tackle in order to intercept a pass?
So I can calculate the direction and the power of the pass; but I cannot calculate the direction and the distance that should be required in order to intercept the pass? How is this an improvement?
Every time I intercept a pass.... I never feel like it was me.... You know why? Because I did not do anything, I did not calculated the direction of the tackle nor the distance of the tackle: the computer takes care of this, the computer decides if you intercept the pass or if you do not intercept the pass.
You never have to experience the necessity of actually thinking about something, be it the direction or power of the tackle, or something else.
PES11 is more of the same bullshit, you can no longer run past 4 defenders with Messi.... it makes no difference, PES11 is the same thing that PES10 was, it works the same way.
I cannot run past 4 defenders with Messi, but you what? I can split the defense wide open with just about anyone with decent passing accuracy; and you know what? build-up play is nonexistent, PES11 plays like FIFA09, with no build-up play.
I just think it is stupid that people seem to pay more attention to the PES vs FIFA bullshit, who cares if PES or FIFA is better, both games are shit.
How does the left analogue stick functions in PES11? It functions the same way it functioned 10 years ago.
Are you aware of the fact that the functioning of the buttons actually determines how the game can play?
And are you aware of the fact that replacing the "road runner" with some new cheap flaw but without actually revolutionizing how the left analogue stick works.... means that PES11 functions the same way PES10 functioned?
The left analogue stick works the same way in PES10 and PES11, which means that Konami replaced the "road runner" with yet another flaw: it is impossible to actually fix the core flaws without fixing the root of the problem.
You are boasting about a mere tweak, PES11 has not fixed anything, it merely tweaked on the old flaws: now, instead of doing the "road runner" flaw, you have to endure the "defender catching up with you, all the time" flaw.
I don't know which Football League you watch, but I have never seen slow defenders catching up with fast attackers when the space between the two is of about 10 feet of distance.
And here is the most important thing.... even if the defenders did not catch up with you after you ran past them.... would this make PES11 better?
No.... it would not make PES11 any better....
You know why? Because the dribbling system is still rubbish, the man-marking system is still rubbish, the movement without the ball is still rubbish, etc, etc.
Better referees, better goalkeepers, defenders not catching up with you like they currently do, etc, etc: will never make PES11 any better.... because it does not actually changes how the game plays and functions... because it does not actually changes how the left analogue stick functions.
That's the bottom line.
