I was an old member on PESInsight which is now this, PESGaming. I haven't bothered to register again mainly because a lot of my friends, PES Vets, patchers, editors left etc, mostly stay at Evo-Web but because of this IDIOTIC, STUPID, ARROGANT post I couldn't hold my tongue and signed up and now decided to reply back to this NOOB, yes NOOB, amateur PES Gamer who apparently thinks he is some ELITE player.
Let me enlighten you kid now.
PES or Winning Eleven was never known for flashy graphics, proper licenses or updated transfers. It gained popularity solely because of its GAMEPLAY.
Your list of complaints about PES 14 is so laughable it's not even funny. You complain because Bale is not in Madrid, or certain players don't look the way they're supposed to in real life, and just because of those few details YOU, the CHOSEN ONE, the freaking POPE thinks the game is totally broken ? Really, ??
PES was always aimed for somewhat mature players. Players who don't care about graphics, stadiums, boots, etc RATHER gameplay.
What made SWOS esp SWOS 96/97 on AMIGA so successful ? To this very day, this RETRO game has more players, tournaments worldwide than PES/FIFA combined ...no you didn't know that did you....what did SWOS offer ? Great graphics right..realistic looking faces, animations ETC. No retard, it offered SIMPLE quick addictive gameplay.
Now, football games have changed over the decade. 2D was/is outdated and 3D is in full control.. While PES/WE was heavily the king of football gaming in PS2 era, when it first debuted on what was next gen now current gen (PS3, XBOX360) it was shit, yes. Even I admit. And I am bigger guru than you'll EVER be when it comes to PES. PES on PS3/360 was arcade shit show with broken gameplay. Over the course KONAMI slowly improved their craft and in PES 14 they FINALLY nailed IT.
The things you mention 90% of true PES players won't give a fuck about. So quit saying PES 14 is broken because Bale is not in Madrid or you can't recognize some of your lovers in the game.
PES14 while not a perfect game, is a HUGE step to what made PES famous and that is the gameplay. There is a reason why this game is gaining momentum day by day. Let's face it. Some glitches that people complain HAD to be there period. This is how video gaming companies make money. If they release a PERFECT game, how on fucking earth will they continue to make money and release next titles ? This is not SCARFACE or GODFATHER where the movie stays permanently the best of all times. KONAMI are doing this because they have to, period.
Even the greatest PES of all times (pes5) had its own faults and I remember people whining about this and that but as time went by they started to like the game more and more).
Now let's look back:
PES5/WE9LE (Korean PES 5 that was polished for 6+months) were a mixture between simulation and arcade. It was fun to play because it offered a realistic VISUAL of how a football game should be played. BUT, it also offered arcade style of play with ping pong fast, accurate passes, limited 8 directional movement, which in REALITY is not a REAL FOOTBALL.
What KONAMI and EA as well are trying to achieve is full, 360 deg SIMULATION gameplay. This is where KONAMI beat EA in 2014 with PES 14.
FIFA 14 and even FIFA hardcore fans will admit that so far nothing has changed. BUT PES14 took a huge lead over FIFA 14 in following ways:\
- FIFA 14 still has its simulation BUT also was injected with a heavy dose of arcade. What I'm talking about you might ask yourself ? That is SPEED and PING PONG PASSES. FIFA 14 is very fast and "get to the point type of game" While it offers SIMULATION it doesn't prove the player with CREATIVITY which REAL FOOTBALL should offer you.
PES 14 for the first time EVER, offers true manual passing with ADVANCED PASSING, it offers TRUE 360 degree movement which gives you ONE OPTION OF PLAY: PURE SIMULATION. You are SIMULATING what you see on TV and what you see real footballers do on the pitch.
It is slow gameplay that requires basic but high IQ of football. You have to pass pass pass and pass more. Create chances. It's a CHESS GAME btw you and your opponent. You won't score long range screamers all the time, none of that fancy bullshit. This is where MATURITY hits you. Mature players WANT TO PLAY A GAME LIKE THIS, while younger players like yourself care more about transfers, boots, graphics, how many stadiums the game has ETC...ETC..
This game is not for you my friend. Stick with PS4 and FIFA.
PES 14 is far from perfect but its ON THE RIGHT TRACK to being ELITE like it was before.
I've played all footie games you can imagine. SWOS 96/97 was fun and I still play it on my PC (Online) with updated squads thanks to sensiblesoccer.de guys.
I still have WE9LE with JIMBOS EDITION PES5 Club Patch. FANTASTIC GAME.
But PES 14 hands down, without a doubt, is the best PES Konami ever released REALISTICLY wise.
Try to play all MANUAL and tell me if you like it. If you don't then you don't belong on these forums my friend.
I rest my case and hopefully you learned something from professor sabh.
