I pretty much agree with that view.Spike said:I have to say, after about 8 hours of play I think the keepers are, if anything, better in PES4. The number of point blank shots they save amazes me. Having said that, I'm not quite used to the slower shooting power bar, so maybe that's the reason. My only gripes are the running animation, which looks too fast when turning, the lack of striped/hooped shirts in edit, the dumbass kits/balls with hearts on (wtf?) and having to edit yet again. I haven't decided if I prefer this or PES3, but if I recall it's always taken me a few days to get used to a new version, so I'm sure I'll prefer PES4 soon enough.
I'm also waiting for the PC version though.
I've mostly found that keepers have improved in one on one situations. I've even seen Buffon spread his body into the star shape on his knees as I shot to block it with his right hand which looked spectactular. The keepers do have a new "don't dive as much" approach but sometimes this looks correct because quite often they don't dive when a defender or striker is stood infront of them, so maybe Konami have a hidden view statistic for the goalkeepers?
Either way i love the new game, all this negativity and nobody mentions the new injury thing where players go off for treatment, the awesome new advantage played rule which really does work well and so on.
Everyone hated PES3 when it first came out and surprise surprise they hate it again now it's PES4. In about 3 months time I bet people will wonder why they even doubted the game because they will be used to it and find the new style alot better.
