Every time we start playing a new PES we need to take our time to adapt and learn to play and enjoy the game. I understand the people who complaint about PES5 and i think its normal.
I mean we obviously had a lot of fun with PES4 and were ilusioned to play and enjoy PES5. However, since the gameplay its a little different, some of us dont longer enjoy it as PES4, but its only because we have played PES4 many times and we are familiar with its gameplay.
When PES4 came out some people didnt like it and prefered PES3 i guess it was because of the same reason, they got used to playing PES3 and didnt want any change.
Maybe we dont like to stop playing a game that was so much fun like PES4. Its just a matter to get used to play PES5 be able to enjoy it, if not well keep playing PES4 they are almost the same game.
Online play its a big difference but i really enjoy playing againts the cpu because well, the variants are infinite. Master League, World Cup, etc. And there are so many teams, i mean each team with good players to enjoy and learn!! I mean is there anyone out there who has played with every goddamn team in PES4?? Plus u got the editing tools i mean it just a so complete game. I dont know you but i like to enjoy soccer games to their full extent. What im trying to say its that PES4 and obviously PES5 are games that even without online play i would play them all my life, i wouldnt get tired of them, i would try to play with every team, i would edit names, transfers, to resemble actual rosters, i would edit jerseys, etc. As is said its a game for a lifetime.
I played International Superstar Soccer 98 for the N64 for almost 6 years and i enjoyed that game very much, i chose a team, edited thier names numbers and i would play a World Cup and then do the same for another team. Never got tired of it until i finally decided to try on WE/PES on ps2. Im sure i will have no hurry in buying ps3, I will play PES5 or WE9 for a long time.
