No. Go to an actual adult game discussion site like OS and most of the talk is about how disappointing FIFA is yet again, given it's such a beautiful game, etc.

What do you mean by reputation? It's a fine game as far as animations, graphics and online play goes. And the manual shooting engine > PES by miles. But other than that, the game is exactly as advertized. The CPU god mode gameplay is completely over-the-top, there's no strategic depth, every...

So let's see... the number of children and teenage button jockeys with Mom and Dad's disposible income to spend, outnumber intelligent, sports-savvy adult gamers by probably 40 to 1. And you use that logic as a reason why FIFA outsells PES? Not that I'm fooled by any of that nonsense you...

That's the thing with PES unfortunately. One has to look past the many flaws and TRY and enjoy it every year. I did that with PES 2011 and ended up loving the game (but only after massive global edits and yair's gameplay patch though). Just can't do it anymore with this series I guess. No more...

People do that because they're insecure and/or trolls, lol. You should know that by now man. FIFA is "sim" like Dr. Seuss is Shakespeare. No strategy and no depth whatsoever. FIFA is a child's toy of a game, designed for kids and adult gamers who know little about football. It's been that way...

It's a default mapped control, so it was obviously a decision on Konami's part to set up the online controls in a way that prevents gamers from using that particular control. I'm cynical I know. But my explanation is they did that because they realize how glitched the GK programming is this...

Well that's just great. First they royally screw-up the GK AI. Then the only means you have at your disposal to fix their screwed-up GK programming is taken away from you online, EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS AVAILABLE IN THE GAME. There's a word for that: sadistic.

So on one-on-ones, maybe take control of your GK, pull him back so he can't be chipped or run around, then take control of a defender and let the CPU control your GK for the shot. All that will take timing and practice no question.

My suggestion: go into a game (or practice if possible) and play some team that is going to take a good number of shots on you. Use the vertical cam to get a good behind-the-GK view. Take control of your GK when they attack and see what the controls allow you to do and not do. I think doing that...

Ha-ha! You just perfectly described the last 8 years of my FIFA-playing experiences. And I thought I was the only one.

I'm really puzzled why the CPU-controlled GK would rush out on its own, when there's an off-the-ball manual control to move your GK forward (Y button on Xbox controller). Very strange, very screwy.

It gives you control over the GK, meaning if you get beat it's all on you. ;) Use sparringly -- very difficult to control the keeper like that, has been my experience.

Just checked: Switch by hitting LB + down on R stick for PES 2011. Probably the same for 2012. Very clunky way of programming that BTW.

It's in the controls manual -- back button or RB + something else (don't have my game/controller in front of me).

Take control of the GK, that's the only way (that I'm aware of anyway). I've read about this same problem with the GK AI on other PES sites. It's possible goalies' Aggression ratings or something are causing this behaviour, and need to be lowered. Don't know if that's an option for you.

Well, the fact that he did dive in the completely wrong direction is the the first clue. The second clue is he's doing a PK-style emergency dive (again, in the completely wrong direction) on a shot taken from far out, after having plenty of time to judge the pace and direction. A 3rd grade...

Ha-ha! Pretty much my first thought when I saw that as well. Even made a De Gea comment on another forum after seeing a different GK blunder vid. I'm not ragging on the game. I appreciate PES for what it is, and generally it's a great game. But IMO, they've badly screwed up this year in a...

Steve, here's PES 2012's broken GK play in all its glory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fasxaiw2Cjg So do you say the GK diving the completely wrong direction with a shot taken from 40 yards out is natural and just "bad goalkeeping"?

On every PES site on the net, there is thread after thread after thread about the completely, totally, screwed up GK programming this year. You can argue all you want about the shooting -- which many are saying doesn't work either -- but to sit there and defend the badly programmed GK play is...

As much as I despise internet trolls (see Micho and his thread) who are simply trying and bait people into arguments with their over-the-top criticism, I've never understood your perspective either when I've seen and read it. What's the point of a discussion forum if people shouldn't discuss the...
