Ok guys i know i am gonna get some real stick for this but here goes.I HATE PRO EVO 6.There i have said it.Dont make me feel any better but at least i have got it off my chest.Not all the problems with it are major but when all put together it just ruins the game for me.The biggest culprit is without a doubt the ability to (or actually lack of) defending.I really dont care how many new eye catching tricks r in the game if this comes at the expense of a BASIC tool such as defending.What the hell is the point of having tactics,arrows,formations etc if when the whistle blows your players just do what the hell they want.
This is a direct quote from the review of PES 6 in PLAY magazine issue 146 which sums it up better than i ever could. "THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WE HAVE IS THE MASSIVE AMMOUNT OF SCRIPTING,WHERE THE GAME DECIDES WHAT IT WANTS TO HAPPEN,DESPITE ALL OUR EFFORTS TO THE CONTRARY.AT TIMES IT GENUINELY FEELS LIKE THE GAME IS PULLING AGAINST YOU AND NO MATTER WHAT U DO U CANT ESCAPE THE CRUSHING INEVITABILITYOF WHAT IT HAS PLANNED".
I make no secret of the fact that i hate losing but i aint a bad loser.If i am beaten cos my opponent is simply better than me then it spurs me on to get as good as him.Thats the way it should be.On this version though its almost as if your playing against your opponent as well as the computer.I should point out that i only ever play against my mates and never against the comp.Gone are the days when my mate could pick Arsenal and i could be my beloved West Ham.In those games Arsenal were obviously the better side but with a sound formation and tactics coupled with a solid defensive display i could still have a good chance of getting a result.Just like real football.This has always been the real strength of the PES series compared to that FIFA crap.PES has always had that feel of realism to it as opposed to the shallow eye candy of FIFA.Many of u will agree with me that flash graphics or fully licensed kits mean nothing if its at the expense of game play.
Maybe its my fault.My mates say i take it way too seriously and maybe they r right.Maybe i am a perfectionist.What they mistake for moaning though is actually passion.When all those fools were out spending their cash on FIFA i was playing ISS as was then.I have been with PES since the beggining and,like the rest of ya,have a real sense of loyalty to it.We were the few who did not join the EA bandwagon or sell our soul to that American dross.I just dont want PES to lose what made it so special.Is that so wrong?Dont let us down KONAMI.Everyone is entitled to make a mistake but dont make a habit of it.U have a chance to redeem yourself with PES7 on the PS3.DONT LET US DOWN.
