well dont you think its funny that ever since HD has arrived, PES has been utter shite?
No, I think its people expectations are wildly overblown. As I keep having to say, its football there is very little that you can actually do to "innovate". I also believe that the number of people complaining have never really had a bad game before, or one that is truely broken.
PS: HD has been around for years, us PC gamers have been playing in HD for much longer than PS3/360. The funny thing is that on PC PES 09 is pretty good and has very very few issues. Online is a seperate matter from the game itself, which people always forget or ignore. Yes 08 was terrible online, but before that online with PES on PC was fine. Its only since online consoles have hit that most of the issues have arrisen. Many of these are down to the hardware, and software of the consoles and how they are implemented. The options for Konami are extremely limited in how they implement online, and can be extremely taxing to do. Not to mention the average console user does not have as much experience or technical knowhow as there PC counterpart in net based gaming and a vast number of problem reports can be attributed to that.
Then it comes to the games online code itself, which very few owners understand. Therefor it is extremely difficult for developers to understand what the problem really is as large numbers of the reports are either inaccurate, incorrect, overblown, nothing to do with the code, are the results of ISP restrictions, or flat out lies. Sifting through the mess is hard enough, and we have yet to add in the language barrier.
So in short, bitching about it wont help and whinging your face of does no good. If you have an issue that you can CATAGORICALLY prove is the game at fault then do not hesitate to report it directly to Konami in a calm and clear manner, describing exactly what the fault is and what if any methods you have tried to resolve it. Simply posting here "Its S**T and broken, Konami are A******S!" is useless, pointless and a waste of time and effort on your part.
