I like it how you insult me by saying "someone like me", just because I don't agree with what you keep droning on about all the time.
Ok, you want more control over the players in smaller spaces, 5 feet you say, that's fair enough. But players catching up to each other isn't to do with the left stick, it's to do with Konami balancing the game too far, in favour of the slower players. If you think slower players catching up to the faster ones IS to do with the left stick, can you please explain EXACTLY how?? Since player speed in a straight line is not controlled by the left stick, left stick only controls direction, not player speed.
Look, stop insulting my intelligence by suggesting I haven't thought about it. I KNOW the computer does have some control over your directions, where the ball goes etc, it does need to feel more "organic" as you put it.
I've noticed that every time someone disagrees with them, you claim they know nothing about the game AND claim that your opinions are FACT, without giving any actual evidence, you even result to derogatory comments and often name calling.
Do you even have anything positive to say about the game at all? I know this is a forum, and everyone has a right to an opinion, but it feels like you just come on here saying the same thing over and over, like you're trying to get everyone to come on to your way of thinking.
This a RAGE thread and yet you expect positive comments?
Yet another example of how much you listen when you read, you read but you obviously don't think about whatever it is that you are reading or writing.
I was only insulting your lack of interest because I felt insulted by your lack of DECENCY, you come in questioning my argument and yet you do not have the DECENCY of actually listening to the actual argument; perhaps this explains why you feel I insulted your intelligence.
You think I insulted your intelligence, I disagree, I was merely criticizing the lack of interest and respect you have shown me: lack of intellect and lack of interest are very different things.
Question:
Players catching up to each other isn't to do with the left stick according to who? according to you?
Answer:
I am talking about blatant facts, you are talking about your opinion and how you think that your opinion is indeed a fact, and yet you cannot provide evidence to support your claim.
You questioned my argument and judged it as subjective, I will now explain why it is not subjective nor redundant, as briefly as I can.
Adding more directions to the same old formula will not actually fix the old flaws, it will simply replace the old flaws with new flaws, the source responsible for the old flaws and the new flaws is the very same source.
Adding more directions in terms of movement from one space to another space, without tweaking the movement without the ball, would result in an unrealistically fast arcade game; which is why the updated version of PES10 needed to be dumbed down and slowed down.
Where you could understandably sprint past slow defenders in PES5, you now have slow defenders inexplicably catching up with fast players in PES11; the old flaw was replaced with a new flaw, the source responsible for the old flaw and for the new flaw is the very same source.
With PES5 you could not pass the ball like in PES11, but you enjoyed more consistency in terms of movement without the ball, players didn't catch up with you when you were well past them; on the other hand, with PES11 you have more variety in terms of passing, but you experience inexplicable things like slow defenders catching up with fast players.
Question.
How do you want more control over the slow defender that catches up with you?
If the left analogue stick has nothing to do with it, then please tell me, why do we have no control over it?
Answer.
Because movements are automatic due to the functioning of the left analogue stick, which means that defenders catching up with you is just as automatic as the movements of the players.
Consequently, the control or freedom that you can have over the game is restricted by the overall lack of accuracy, animations, and substance.
If defenders did not catch up with you, playing down the wings and sending a low cross would be extremely easy due to the new found "freedom" that the new passing system offers; and you would then be complaining about this flaw, and how easy it is to get past slow defenders.
Question.
Who controls when Cristiano Ronaldo consistently steals the ball away from the feet of Xavi Hernandez?
Question.
Who controls when the referee decides that a perfectly timed sliding tackle, which visually looked perfect, was a foul?
Answer.
These are different flaws, but all the different flaws are products of the same source or factory.
Bottom Line.
Honestly, if you cannot understand how movement inside the space affects movement through space.... you don't have a clue.
If you cannot understand how the functioning of the left analogue stick affects the movement without the ball.... you don't have a clue.
It is not my opinion, it is a fact, if you want evidence you should play the video game; if you play the video game the same way you read and write, you are likely to not see past the restrictions.
