Where is the referee?

[Michael C]

When i look around on the pitch in replay i cant see the referee and them who judged offside. Can you? I only see them when somebody shall have a yellow/red card or when a penalty is giving. Do You have the same as me?

 

[[ luigi ]]

There isn't one. Why waste the extra CPU power on having another person running around on the pitch?

 

[asher b]

this is the same on the ps2 version.

konamis system only allows 22 players on the pitch apparantley.

Konami still have a few areas of the game that need improving.. perhaps the inclusion of a ref and the ability to take him out!!!....

 

[Haz-e]

that'd be a novelty, not really an essential area of the game

 

[CtrlAltDel]

having refs on the field, at least three of the four visable would be nice.

its not a matter of a whole lot of cpu processing, other soccer games manage.

 

[biker_jim_uk]

which ones manage?
I've never seen refs on the pitch

Shouting

would it not be cool to have people in the dug outs ? Like managers shouting and players warming up on the sidelines? would use more computer power i know but then they could drop some needless things from the game ! only a suggestion which is probly rubbish

fifa games in the past have had referees

 

[biker_jim_uk]

okay and did that improve he gameplay?
I can just imagine the 'I ran into the ref just as I was going to tackle\shoot and lost the game' moans

YEah but while PES is all about game play it is essintial that it keeps pace with the asthetic side of the game. Refs really need to be included as for they are such a HUGE part of football.

 

[djdavedoc]

You do often get obscursions involving refs where they 'inadvertantly' deflect the ball from one team back to 'ARSENAL!' all the time!! So its true Arsenal always have an extra man in the middle!!!

 

[adams9802]

PUUUULLEEEZZEEEE!! like in the community sheild or what about the many penalties that horse face wins??? When has Arsenal benifited from a dubious decision by the ref...get off it mate Man U gets the benifit of the doubt more than anyone and then when they don't they bitch like children

 

[djdavedoc]

Diver Pires!!! Falls Over Against Portsmouth!!! Elbow Keown!!! Wenger I Didnt See It!! Cole The Diver Cheats!!!! Lehmann The Ball At The Head Thrower

 

[djdavedoc]

Mate Only Havin A Larf!! No Point Takin It Seriously! Ref Should Be Shown On The Pitch..

 

[biker_jim_uk]

I'd rather processing power was used on the players AI

 

[djdavedoc]

very true biker

 

[CtrlAltDel]

a 3ghz hyperthreaded top of the line cpu should have more than enough for 21 cpu players + 3 refs that slide around the pitch

maybe a cutscene for subs would be cool
one showing the fourth official holding up the sign and the players exiting and the fans cheering and such

 

[rwestby]

referees not being shown on the football pitch

hi 2 everyone who has registered.

on football games you can never see a referee on the pitch, so for the next pes they should introduce the referee's and assistant referee's so that there is 25 players running around the pitch, not 22 players.

cheers rwestby

 

[djdavedoc]

I agree the inclusion of a ref on the pitch would help but it does mean more programming of him following the play...... Could be detrimental to the rest of the games AI.
