I am a VERY long time fan of PES, right back to the ISS days. It's more than likely my favourite franchise of all time. Saying that PES2013 is one of the most miserable things I've ever played.
No atmosphere, no level playing field, ridiculous AI, bizarre refereeing, stupid and pointless additions that simply were not needed (manual shot? wtf?)
But I think it can be summed up in one unbelievable example of randomness. PES2013 is supposed to be a sports simulation, so, on what planet did someone from Konami say 'You know what guys, I've heard that professional footballers around the world are only allowed to wear coloured or patterned football boots once their team have passed a certain date or achieved a certain goal. Oh, and when they do only one person at a time, per team, can then wear those boots. Plus they give them magical powers like making them faster and kick harder.' WHAT!!!???? There should be a handwritten apology in every case when you buy this game! Its the kind of thing you tell your mates when you're 7, 'Yeah, these new Reebok Pumps make me jump higher'. Total b+*ll+*ks. I play for my local towns second team, I'm allowed to wear coloured boots, so are my team mates.
I know this is a really petty incidence considering what is riddled throughout the game but it is also a example of why Konami should recall all copies and burn them. Total waste of my money.
