Konami don't like to stay too far from their COIN-OP arcade machine heritage! ; -)

I found it too easy to score as the 'keepers are absolutely pathetic at times. Fully-manual (no assistance) is the only way I like to play. This was on 'Top Player'- I usually play one level below that (professional). I hate finding guaranteed ways of scoring, so this year's game was a massive...

I don't think many commercial reviewers even know properly how to play the games they review! How much chance did he give the game by the 28th of September? Is he a casual player? Prefers simulation?? It seems as if he prefers how FIFA used to be, more casual than simulation. Plus, he's never...

I agree about the sliders, I had to handicap the CPU last year because it was just ridiculously difficult to get any time in the box to get a shot on goal properly! That's why I'm glad that I haven't had to change the slider settings this year, I can't stand it when a game is too easy, it's...

I wasn't massively impressed with the demo- it's never easy to assess a sport game with just the demo. I love the full game, it plays like a simulation at long last(!), the CPU AI is very impressive, and guess what... the goalkeepers actually save shots (they're really good)... oh yeah, the...

I've 'retired' from online play, too many cheating/cheesing kids- I can't be bothered with the stress it caused me when people would disconnect! I might have a Career in the MLS for a change this year. Since getting fired by Inter, I took the managerial position at Newcastle United. Arsenal and...

Admit it, it's pretty good this year, isn't it? *Heads for them hills* I finished in 7th place with Inter Milan, and got sacked (fired) for my troubles, I bought some pretty good non-celebrity players. I got to the semi-final stage in the Italian domestic cup. I only play Career Mode really...

Here's another: REFEREES! That's why I sold my game: appalling refereeing and goalkeeping. Even in one-off (exhibition) matches the goalkeepers ('Top Level') were absolutely abysmal at times. As for 'Team Chemistry', I think that's unrealistic because you could have a really good 'keeper and...

Yes, it was before PES 2008- it was an application called 'Kitserver', it enabled such configurational changes as I previously mentioned. There was an application that enabled one to change stadia/stadiums prior to each match, I had about 70+... you could even choose from tons of different...

Didn't you know that 'PES' is a Japanese pet name for '(the) United of Mancunium?' They only put Neymar on the cover to fool people! Now, that's according to Adam Bhatti, so... ; -) _____________________ I remember PES on the PC- wow, we were spoilt where it came to configuring the kits...

Yeah, that's one of the many reasons as to why I don't play FIFA online any more. I used to play against a Newcastle fan (FIFA 2003-07)- and that's how our games were, it wasn't pretty to watch and went totally against how I prefer to play. It was fun, but very 'arcade.' I beat him 10-2 once and...

To be perfectly honest, I have not found that to be the case with FIFA this year, even 89th/90th minute CPU goals are rare. It really does seem a lot fairer to me this year, I'm winning/losing/drawing with realistic scores. Full-manual on 'Professional' level is a great challenge if you like to...

Nah, FIFA is far more like a simulation this year- lots of people are complaining about it being 'too difficult.' Last year's FIFA was certainly nothing special (I sold it after five months) but FIFA 16 is a massive step in the right direction. Fully-manual settings are hardly for children, it...

Brackley and Brooking were a pretty good partnership on PES. My favourite football commentators are probably Barry Davies and Brian Moore. Martin Tyler's one of the last of the real commentators (as far as I'm concerned)... I don't want there to be guaranteed ways of scoring, that spoils it...

Haha... I suppose you need a good sense of humour to support them these days, I remember when they were a fairly decent side... just about. ; -) For some reason I like to play as an Italian side (usually Inter) in PES, that goes back to the classic PES 3 to 6 days... It might be because the...

What's the skill needed in order for the goalkeepers to actually make consistent saves? Hopefully Konami will make all of that stuff OPTIONAL in the patch to be released later this month. / -: If I start a Master League season, I don't want my players to play like rank amateurs who have only...

I traded (sold back to amazon at a loss) PES 2016, I found it too easy to score on 'Top Player', and it just didn't feel satisfying. The goalkeepers are really terrible, and the referees virtually non-existent. I bought FIFA 16 and it is a really good game, people criticise it because EA have...

I bet the truth lies somewhere between our theories... / -: I also heard an old man peddles a bicycle dynamo whilst listening to Miley Cyrus songs, once he's generated enough juice, it'll be all systems go! Keep going Bud!!

I sold my game because of the crappy 'keepers and refereeing (Top Player) ... I hope they fix it... properly!!

I'd love to know as to why they are so rigid with their scheduling! Before starting my Career Mode campaign in FIFA 16, I just pressed 'Download Latest Updates'... just like the past few years... / -: I wonder if they still use beige computers and dial-up at Konami Europe (or wherever PES...
