I am sorry to say this but PES2010 (I have PC version) is a big disappointment.
It is early days and I intend to stick with a franchise I have stuck with from the beginning but...
- every team, whether Burnley or Barca, play the same way - the way the ball whizzes around midefield with one touch passes on the deck is ridiculous.
- strikers pick the ball up from MF and can turn with no one near them, every time...so every attack starts that way - again, ridiculous. Lumping the ball forward still happens in real life you know..
- I appreciate trying to remove dribbling to get a more realistic game but you cannot even turn without resembling the Titanic and you just lose the ball.
- the BAL mode still seems a great idea but flawed in many ways such as the rating...only goals and assists and no of tackles count?
I think realism is what should be strived for, but this must be balanced with fun which people will derive from being able to turn and dribble - this is after all a game. This fact may have been missed...
