Ok, here it goes I hope others join me and support the cause. I would like to mention LakoLako also has a good commentary thread, with some very good ideas too! http://www.pesgaming.com/showthread.php?t=72199
Dear Konami, please do not take any offence whatsoever, this letter is in the most polite manner, I am just very passionate about Pro. I have been a diehard Pes fanatic ever since I touched Pes2, and have not left the brand ever since. However, a little foray into the world of Fifa (for the first time since Fifa 99!) earlier this August made me a little flabbergasted. The game play was not all that attractive to me. BUT one big feature that was outstanding was the commentary. This got me thinking, Pes with great commentary and its already great gameplay and fun factor would equal a very very high-quality rounded game. I know that there are limitations to how far commentary can go but here are a few points that I feel Konami need to address:
1) Fluidity and Tone - One major drawback of PES's commentary is the fact that it is so obviously scripted and sounds completely un-natural. It sounds plastic, choreographed and laboured. The commentary of Mark Lawrenson and Jon Champion are almost like sleep tablets at times. How about a little banter between the two or some commentary that sounds akin to something that we would actually hear in a real football match on TV. What about having different line ups of commentators for different games like John Motson, Jonathan Pearce.
2) Team Names - I also feel that if the teams that are licensed had the ability for their names to be actually said, would make a world of difference. 'They scored' is the same line we hear time and time again. How about Liverpoooooooooool, Torrrrres, Gerrrrrrrrrrard, what a beauty:happy::happy: lol
3) Personal information - Such as players reputation for goals, fouls, strong tackles, penalty saves, red cards etc could be mentioned. You know how in real life there is a slight break from actually talking about the match and the commentators talk about players, the manager, the boardroom, the teams form, stadium and fans etc.
Conclusion - I think and hope that I am speaking for the majority of PES fans when I say that a little fluidity, banter and a great deal of depth in areas mentioned above would help improve the PES brand a great deal. Because quite franly the current crop of John Champion and Martin Lawrenson is noot competing at all with Andy Gray & Martin Tyler.
Thanks.
Ps I read that by law PES can only have 2 Licensed EPL teams. Why is that????

1. How long have you been playing PES? I have been playing PES since PES2on PS2, but have also been playing ISS from Nintendo 64!
2. What are the aspects that you like most about PES? Nothing compares to Pro:crymore: it may have lost a little popularity in recent years:huh:, but nothing can compare to the sheer 'fun factor' that Pro has
3. What are the aspects that you don’t like about PES? Commentary, :realmad::realmad::realmad:Eto'o and :realmad::realmad::realmad:Messi (Pes 09)
