With respect to all, I do believe it is important to us players. Consistency helps to give us better realism (because that's what fans want), even if to at least make us forget about the other problems.
On the previous PS2 games, they had untucked shirts during actual gameplay (and you could see them clearly if you switch to CLOSE camera option, which I use). They even had dirt on uniforms, neck warmers, etc.
So, after last year's 2009, fans had wanted to untucked shirt option for the purpose of realistic playing conditions. Konami promised to bring this back, with an option. But what is the point of this option if it is not even in the gameplay, with everybody wearing their shirts TUCKED!!?!! It makes the realism muted and fake. Then MAGICALLY, during cut scenes and replays, they are untucked. What kind of sloppy programming is this?
It is like Konami just put the option to please us on the surface, but refusing to finish the job properly. I believe it is when we say "oh it does not matter, just give the fans the option but not in game", this make Konami lazy.
This kind of attitude by them shows a lack of earnestness in the big and small details, despite their promises. They couldn't even fix this little thing, never mind the other or bigger issues like gameplay, ML, editing, licenses...
FIFA 10 has this and can be seen in game. Konami, boasting better visual presentation, at least should have fix such niggles, such annoyances, to at least trounce FIFA with better touches of on pitch realism and in terms of visuals.
Even the pitches I have noticed are too sterile and clean. No snow either!
I love PES and I have been quietly and mostly reading the forums, but as just like any other pES fan, my emotions are really rubbed the wrong way by such laziness.
What is the POINT of the huge visual upgrade and the untucked option if this problem visually is not even fixed??? (On PS2 they had it almost perfect, yet on the next-gen, they couldn't fix this problem>)
I am afraid this is an indication of how Konami's mentality is. I doubt if they really listened to the fans.
NOTE - from the above poster who said the untucked shirts ARE in the game, maybe a close camera angle could show/proove this, but unless the retail version is fixed, many readers don't see the evidence of the in game untucked shirts.
BTW, no low socks too (on PS2 versions, they had this and many other options). Unbelievable.
Thank you for reading. I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I have watched the 2 dutch and Ajax videos 6 times, (too fast and blurry), but no untucked shirts in the actual gamplay...
IN FACT, THERE WAS AN ANGLE WHERE VAN DER WAART (UNTUCKED SHIRT) PREPARED FOR FREE KICK, BUT WHEN THE CAMERA CHANGED TO THE GAMEPLAY ANGLE, YOU COULD SEE HIS SHIRT TUCKED IN.
GEZUZ, KONAMI. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR FAN BASE???
