"Played it till my fingers bled . . . "

[willow_genius]

I play PES on XBOX. 90% of the games I play are against human opponents (my friends) and all are 10 minute games. When I was playing PES4, it used to take a toll on my fingers, especially in the human multiplayer matches. There have been many many days when I would have a sore left thumb.

Of course we do take small breaks halfway in the matches for formation setting, subsititution, strategy etc. And also take some time after every match for discussing that game, watching highlights, checking match details and individual scores etc.

If I used to say "STOP FOR AWHILE" after 10 consecutive matches in PES4, now with PES5, I'm able to go on with 15 - 20 games. I reckon this is bvecause, PES4 allowed us to dribble from one goal post to the other and that does pain your finger. Whereas in PES5, you got to keep passing and play good thinking football. So, I feel my fingers are relatively relaxed (I'm not relaxed!).

Among many other gameplay, graphics differences between PES4 and PES5, I think even this needs to be noted.

What do you think?

I can go no more than 5 games, on either game.

It doesn't tire my hands, just in the ML, it gets repetitive.

 

[wrigh2uk]

true

i usually play 3 15min ML games consecutivly then have a rest and at online i usually play like 4/5 games on 10mins limits


lol which is a change from the 3-10 hours spent on MGS 3 , damm ' the end '

i play like 15 gomes on 5mins on ml then my hands just start to realy hurt so i have a rest for a while.

left analogue stick = no pain.

 

[Magpie4eva]

True but personally I just cant use the analog.

5-7 10 minute games for me

left analogue stick = no pain.

Exactly, and it's so much easier to control the dribbling.

 

[willow_genius]

Guys!

What I wanted to know is - Is PES5 less painful physically that PES4? What do you feel?

 

[Top Gun]

left analogue stick = no pain.

Yeah i use the analog sticks and my fingers never hurt so i would reccomend you to try it.

 

[Estill]

Goodness me...Next someone will have finger exercises to push your Pro stamina up to 20 games without your finger even breaking into a sweat...

Me and my mate have sleepovers and play a 2 player master league and we can play a whole season in about 1 day on a 10 min match on 6*.

You obviously don't get out much then? That would be well over 300mins, which is 5 hours on it's own

I play on six stars, 10mins per game. Every time I go on PES5 I always go and do some editing before any matches, so I play less.

Much like me. I spend as much time in editing as I play. Editing is very good fun!

I have now converted myself to analog trust me guys its so much easier to play. it dont hurt your thumb and you also get more control of the player. i play on 4* at the moment and use my own formation its goes like this. its the best for me trust me i beat real betis yesterday with real madrid (ml) 9-1. try it it works fucking brilliant oh yues i forgot 10min matches
