I have played PES ever since PES2 and have always chosen to play it rather than FIFA, i do believe however that there are plenty of changes that could be made to PES to make it a much better game. here are some of my ideas:
1. bring back various weather conditions - i think playing in snow and rain adds a much more realistic feel to the game.
2. at the start of matches have the players shake hands rather than stand and look as if they are ready for the national anthem.
3. in ML be able to move clubs - when you get bored of managing a team you have to start a new game!!! WHY?!
4. add the championship, league 1 and league 2 to ML whether the teams are licensed or not (i dont mind changing the team names myself)
5. the commentary needs to be more realistic, atm you can tell they are just reading a script. when i score a great goal or an important goal i want the commentators to sound excited rather than the same dull tone.
6. make the crowd play a bigger part - when playing away from home i want to hear the home fans booing, another possible idea for the crowd is to get a close up on them when a team has scored a goal. also make them louder to add more of an atmosphere.
7. Referees - the card system in PES 2012 is sometimes really poor e.g. everytime a goalkeeper takes out an attacker when one on one they escape with a yellow card rather than a red! very unrealistic. i dont mind the odd bad decision because that adds realism but the goalkeeper situation deffo needs sorting.
8. in ML why do you always have to pay a transfer fee when loaning a player? i know that sometimes a fee might be involved but not every single time! te whole point of a loan is that they are cheaper.
9. i think it would be excellent if when playing the ML live scores from other games come up so that you know how other teams are doing ( this would make a great atmosphere when in a title challenge or relegation battle)
10. i think the stadium creator was an excellent idea, this year add more options to it such as number of seats
11. when a player is injured, tell us what the injury is! also introduce more serious injuries like in previous PES games (its realistic when a player is taken off in a stretcher and cannot continue)
12. better crowd banners!!!
13. better music is needed.
14. in ML more options to edit the appearance of the manager e.g. different clothes rather than a suit all the time.
15. show subs warming up on ML before coming on.
16. before kick off on some games show the teams warming up e.g. dribbling through cones like in real life.
17. on the older PES games on the ML there was a records page which showed players' total goals and assists throughout their careers, why has this gone?
18. FIFA has more than one commentary team... possible idea for PES?
19. in ML more realistic tranfer budgets and chairman expectations depending on the club
20. more realistic transfers e.g. i have seen messi at madrid! rooney at chelsea and so on.
21. in the champions league have an official behind the goal.
22. more player animations - when a player gets frustrated e.g. losing or not playing well, have the camera show them kicking the ground or shouting at teammates.
23. different cutscenes when lifting a trophy
24. add more options to edit mode when creating kits, also bring back boot creator.
25. on matchday maybe show the fans entering the stadium before kick off
26. full player name rather than just last name
27. make certain players have discipline problems e.g. mario balotelli
hope you like these ideas and hopefully some will be integrated into the game
