'Bra'(??), or do you mean 'brah'? I wouldn't mind being a 'bra' not a bad job! Anyway, PES is far from perfect with it's appalling goalkeeping, it's far too easy to score.
Hahahaha! "brah" was indeed what I meant. I agree with you there, the keepers are woeful!.. at both ends
You might not be old enough to remember PES 5 (and 6), that's when PES
wasn't an insult to the 'beautiful game.' This year's PES is more like an arcade game with its ridiculous 'ice hockey' scorelines. FIFA 16 is very good game actually, if played with fully-manual settings ('slow' speed), plus the sliders can be altered (if necessary) to change how the AI interacts.
Old enough to remember pes5!? I'll take that as a compliment. :laugh: I go back as far as ISS on the Super Nintendo in 1995 (a console which I didn't like as I was a staunch "Mega-Drive man" until ISS was released and I completely jumped ship). -So I'm well aware of the glory years of PES5 and 6 (and I'd throw PES3 in there too as that, despite it's flaws was a thoroughly satisfying game to play.. mate o' mine still has it and we pop it on the odd time for the craic!) I've played Fifa 16. I Honestly don't see any difference with it to any other Fifa. The physics and motions are just horrible on the eye, players float around and gravitate to the ball. The movement is just horrendous. It will always play like a drunk version of PES imo. Even with PES16's flaws (and I agree with you on those), it would still be a huge step down to pop a Fifa disk in my console and pretend I'm getting a good football simulation experience!
I used to favour PES, but that was before the monstrosity that was PES 2008! Konami still haven't recovered from that debacle.
PES on the PS3 (and last gen consoles) was a complete failure. With the exception of PES2013 of course. The games were absolutely hideous and played like a "transition year" that lasted for several years. I think it was this period for me, that Fifa gained a lotta ground in terms of gameplay and players - For example pretty much everybody I know (including myself for a very brief time and to be social
) jumped ship to Fifa. Maybe it was something to do with Seabass? Didn't he leave PES around this time?.. I think.. And I read something at the time about a number of PES background team moving to EA... again unsure how solid that info is / was ....
As for my comment about a 'fair game', I'm referring to when the CPU sometimes goes into 'juggernaut mode' right near the end of a match, scoring a scripted goal from a corner etc. That happens in both FIFA and PES. I'm not a fan of scripted goals that happen right near the end of a match, call me crazy!
Nah, I was takin' the piss outtta ye with that comment, you totally bit too! :laugh: :laugh: I agree with ya on the scripting. I've had conversations about it in previous posts. Defo happens in both games and at times there is jack shit you can do about it! I was on a mammoth run of wins in my ML last night and my table top rivals, -Villa just turned into Barcelona meets the Globetrotters meets the Star Trek team from Striker 96! (Remember that? :laugh
. My top players Suarez and L.Insigne, Grenier, Cerci just turned into schoolboys, who couldn't control the ball, win a 50/50 or score a 1 on 1! Joypads have been smashed for lesser frustrations... Not PS4 ones tho as they cost a bleedin fortune! :laugh:
I found PES easy (because of the flaws in the game), even with fully-manual passing and shooting- it's the poor goalkeeping that spoils the game.
