what the hell is arcade and simulation? it's all a simulation (a program emulating reality). both do it differently. I think fifa's graphics and 360 motion is giving it that "simulation" feel that you mention and pes 8-directional style the "arcade" type. THAT IS IT. the rest is AI and ball/body physics.
They are both trying to simulate real football but doing it differently and as a result some gamers like it, some don't. Heck I even read somewhere on the forums that some people prefer the D-pad gaming! so it's a choice.
And this whole shit about manual shooting and footballers instinct that requires depth and skill with a fuckin controller is just ridicules. you want depth try kicking a ball on a field. No matter how much fifa or pes improve or try to get to reality, it is still a game and we are still sitting on a coach with our "strikers' instinct".
it's just a game not a mission to explore Mars....arguments are retarded regrading the arcade/simulation crap.
AI, graphics, gameply etc are all valid points for improvement. and whoever is better in your opinion go ahead and buy it. it's always like that and it always will be like that.
If you're so worried about Konami's future in football games: they have acknowledged that they received feedback from this site + their sales figure should do the trick. if they still produce games you don't like. simply don't buy it and move on.
You could be right, but for me PES is an arcade-like simulation.
In reality:
- Players do not move in that robotic-like way.
- Players move in more than just 8-directions.
- Passes go in more than just 8-directions.
- Players do not dribble past everyone by just zig-zigzagging from side to side.
- And off-the-ball runs do not look that "linear" if you know what I mean.
The Dribbling Controls are so limited that it spells "arcade".
- In order to give the ball a little touch forwards I need to use the "Step Overs" first?? WHY?
- I can only do "body feints" in stationary positions?? WHY?
- I cannot "flick the ball up" anymore.. WHY?
- The "drag back" isn't cool anymore.. WHY?
- After so many years, we only have 4 types of dribbling movements.. WHY?
It is arcade-like for the excessive Limitations, it is badly achieved minimalism.
Too plain and elemental, it feels and plays like a game for 10 year olds -- It needs to grow up, it needs to "evolve" as the title so ironically suggests.
