Sorry, what?
Is that its excuse? because in real life you cant dribble and walk through to goal and score.
Theres nothing wrong with the method its teh execution thats poor.
It doesnt let you play the way you want to, it makes you play the way it wants too, theres a massive difference.
Players dont move off the ball intelligently, the cpu can catch even the fastest player with the ball even with the slowest. the cpu DOES STUFF FOR YOU. Dear me, when i hit a shot and teh keeper saved it the cpu scored the rebound for me!!! When i chanced the cursor to unassisted it started passing and tackling for me.
Thats not realism, its a sham.
Theres no big depth here, its not about mastering a deep complex game. Its about finding a work around the rules put in place by the developers to make the game work, rather than making an innovative system that plays a balanced game.
No team should be able to continually knock around one touch passes around the back on pro difficulty unless you are playing Barca, not Paok.
And why cant you dribble? Why cant you do skill? Why cant i pass it beyond one of my players too another? Why are my crosses random, sometimes deep and high and sometimes whipped in? I am not in control here, the computer is. Same with shots, all completely random, not directed by me at all.
Sad state of affairs, but you keep kidding yourselves.
Ehm, i wasnt making excuses dunno where that came from, i was telling how i find the game and what my opinion is. Not trying to please you and fall inline with how you find the game.
It plays exactly how we asked it to play... People continuously complained last year that Konami had made an arcade game and not a simulation. So what do they do? They this time make a game where you cant win a game through having just one fast player who can finish. You have to involve the whole team. Wait a sec, isnt that what real football is, a team game? Do you not have to pass the ball to make space, spread the play? Yes there are shocking decisions and flaws to it, it gets you angry, frustrated, but it also fills you with elation. Thats what every real football fan experiences when they watch a game.
Players do move off the ball fine, you obviously havent been able to learn how to or cant figure out the art of timing a pass and sending players on runs in anticipation for a through ball. You can dribble past players and "do skill" as you put it, just not in the same way you could in previous PES's. They have made it harder, ehm again, made it more realistic. You just have to use your R2 button in a different way, instead on just holding it down and changing direction. Fuck me, wheres the fun in that?
Crosses go where you want them to... The early balls in are even better now too... Its all down to the power gauge, direction you push on the analogue and number of taps you give the circle button, or X if youre cutting back. You have complete control... I sense you merely dont know how to play this game.
Its a sad state of affairs when you expect everyone to hate the game as you do, if you dont like it fine, youre entitled to your opinion but dont try and make me sound like a tit and come across all aggressive for having my own opinion on the game.
