A definition: violent, explosive, expletive ridden bursts of anger caused by inexplicable moments of madness whilst "enjoying" a game of pro evolution.
We've all had it and it's arguably intrinsically linked to why the series has been enjoyed by so many for so long. These moments of madness, infuriating as they are, feed the triumphant moments where the game clicks, behaving as expected. Like running on to that cleared corner ball from deep midfield and unleashing a smashed, dipping volley past a despairing keeper from 25 + yards. Tension released in one glorious moment or one flowing move.
There's a lot of things I like about PES11 (smashed volleys back with a bang for starters) but with it I'm experiencing a whole new level of pro rage.
Cursor/player selection in this version can be excruciating. Infuriating. I want to calm down. "It's just a game"... "Breathe"... I laugh it off... it sounds sinister... I gather the ball, build up the play again, I see an opening but the opponent gets a vital knick on the ball and it spills in to open play, right in to the path of my oncoming midf... "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK - WHY!!!!!?!!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????!!!!??" Inexplicably my cursor has landed on every player EXCEPT the approaching midfielder. My opponent sheepishly gathers the ball (his mocking grin) whilst my midfield (apparrently paralysed wth shock of it's indicisive puppet master) try and gather their wits, leaving my defensive line's arses visibly twitching at the prospect of the inevitably well placed thru-ball.
I don't think I've seen this basic aspect of the game so hit and miss before.
And crossing?! Ok maybe Pro 10's crosses were a little too accurate but the amount of times I've put in a ball looking for that back post header only to have it fly past EVERYONE, for a throw in. A THROW IN. Now ok I've played nothing but MLO online but I've built a pretty acceptable team of no marks with early 70 OS on both wings. This, simply, should not be happening. Any tips on preventing this would be most welcome. Maybe then I can lay off the ketamine...
