This game is just plain awful!
How could Konami screw up the greatest football game on earth so badly? Pro Evo 4 was perfect - all they had to do was put in more teams, refine the Master League, and add online gameplay.
Instead, they've gone and turned it into real football, and that is what makes it so bad.
1/ Having free kicks every nano second may be realistic, but it's not fun. Games are MEANT to be fun!
2/ Free kick taking is impossible unless your sole aim is to give possession to the other player.
3/ No matter how much you press R2, every single player takes at least half hour to bring the ball under control when they receive it.
4/ It's now actually impossible to sprint away from any player. No way should Dennis Bergkamp be able to keep up with Roberto Carlos. That's just ridiculous.
5/ It's way too difficult to defend and cut off supply lines because the AI is so bad that the players run around like headless chickens. I mean, if I can see a winger running behind the defence the bloody wing back should go with him! It's not rocket science is it!!!!!
6/ There should be no need for super cancel. Just give us control of the player we're controlling in the first place instead of having him run in a scripted line. THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUN...
7/ Penalties... oh dear!! I know it's a lottery but come on! I press the button only and sometimes the ball just balloons over the bar. I mean... HOW EXACTLY!!?
8/ Why is it that if you shoot with half the bar filled it'll trickle harmlessly to the keeper sometimes, and others it'll rocket through the air at high speed!?? How are you supposed to judge it then?????
9/ Oh dear god, why does the game sometimes not play a crucial pass when I've pressed the button, yet when I've pressed X accidently it'll happily knock the ball into touch EVERY DAMN TIME!!!
10/ If I wanted to take part in a stop-start, no shooting scrappy game of football I'd join a Sunday League thanks!
11/ This is supposed to be football by the way, not pinball everytime you touch the god-forsaken ball.
Arrrggghhhh, this game is sooooo bad, I want my £30 back.
LISTEN UP KONAMI.... REALISM = BOREDOM.
CREATIVITY = FUN.

Is that a joke? I sure think it is :lol:
1. Hmm every nanosecond, not possible if you know what a nanosecond is.
Nanosecond - one billionth of a second
Oh and this game is meant to be a simulation, like all sports games. If you don't want a simulation, play EA Big Sports games and Midway Sports games.
2. Right, its hard since it is much easier than it was in PES4.
3. You need to learn how to use the joystick properly. You don't even really need to press R2. Let me help you here.
So say you pass to the right, Don't sit there and hold up before the ball reaches the player, it will only hurt. Instead press up the nanosecond the ball reaches his foot and he will receive it well. Then press pass to the guy on the top, wait until the ball reaches his foot to run right, or yes it may take him a second to gain control. Simply put, you are holding the direction you want him to move before you really should.
4. I don't see this problem very much, I have no problem out-pacing people with very fast players. Also, don't forget that while dribbling, most of all players can't run at the same speed that they would without the ball.
5. I notice this problem, because people forget that they keep hitting the switch players button, which makes your players dumbfounded for a second. Its only your fault.
6. Why are you bitching about something that has been present in the games for a long time now? Also, I play very well and barely use this, maybe once or twice a game at the most.
7. Players make mistakes, wouldnt the game really suck if the players never messed up, ala EA Sports FIFA
8. Um, you have to judge it by more than just the power bar. Location of the ball and the players foot comes into play. Balance also comes into play. The way the ball is moving comes into play. There are many factors that come into play while shooting. Have you ever kicked a ball? Even if you think you kicked it with the same strength, does it always travel the exact same way?
9. Wow maybe the only thing I can nano-agree with. Then again, it is all relative to the players foot position and the ball. Yes, sometimes the pass button is touchy, but only when their foot is in the right location to make a pass effortlessly (aka barely touching the pass button).
10. No, you would join the Sunday League because you don't know how to play football. The same reason why your games in PES5 resemble a Sunday League match.
11. I thought it made you mad that the game was like real football? Why on Earth would you complain about something
you don't find real about the game?
LISTEN UP KONAMI.... REALISM = BOREDOM.
CREATIVITY = FUN.
Realism = What the PES fans want!
Creativity = Fun yes, but what the FIFA Street fans want.
