how about emotions playing a part in the pace of the game and aggression etc? if a player is red carded a team can get real wound up,arguining with the ref and the following few minutes will be a higher tempo with tackles flying in and the crowd really screaming.
refs should be a lot more leniant,1st tackles that are given as red cards rite early in the game wen its slightly mistimed pisses me off so much. ruins the game.
you should be able to wind the crowd up with your celebrations aswell,to pump your team rite up. if your 2-0 down in a cup game and peg it back to 2-1 you should be able to do a celebration to pick the game up to.
50-50 challenges need to be a part of the game,and players like keane,smith and gerrard should crunch players and fly into tackles were players like zidane are more likely to pull out or only half challenge. these sort of tackles could also be a signal to kik the game off into mayhem for a few minutes
pitches should get cut up during the winter,becoming very muddy down the centre and goalmouths. they should be visibly deteriorating throughout the game and snow games should be an option,so ball wont roll it will bounce more on the hard pitch, on a wet pitch it will skid more,perfect pitch will roll perfectly etc
quick free kicks. this could be difficult to get rite, but instead of stopping the play,having a cut scene to the free kick,it shouldnt cut scene and if your player is within a few yards you can take a quick free kick
shirt pulling could work. running side by side with someone a quick tug could give you an advantage whereas a clear pull back is a free kick,perhaps punished with a yellow
stepovers and simliar tricks need to have more of an effect. if you do stepovers it doesnt un nerve the defender at all, but say you have zidane or figo they could un nerve the defender,making him shuffle his feet before you can then knock the ball past wen he is off balance
a button to chest the ball instead of heading it. wen you cross the ball and you in miles of space but dont want to head it,you leave it and it goes over your head, you head it and waste a gr8 chance.
no cards for X challenges, as this is pointless. only yellows if it is a very bad slide tackle with no where near the ball and challenges from behind should be eligible sometimes if you win the ball but yellow if you take the player. only red for last man tackles and 2 bookings
get option to start with the crap players or the real player. get offers for your management thru the season and pre season. for instance,wen you start with a crap team and do well for a couple of years, a small team from the division above may offer you the job,and so on until you get the big clubs offering you jobs.
get loads of sponsors on the game. people like mcdonalds,adidas, and other big names could surely just lend there name to the game,after all its free sponsorship for them. you could get sponsored by bigger and bigger companies as you become more succesul
choice of which ball to play with. maybe in pes shop buy different styles like the adidas champo league ball and the new euro 2004 one and the rest. and maybe some balls have different characteristics,like some curl more and some travel faster etc
players limp around for a couple of minutes wen gettin a knock. if they are clattered they carry on but for a couple of minitues limp around and cant run as fast,or head injuries mean they wont win a header etc.
opposition react badly to bad tackles,maybe resulting in a melée (dunno how to spell it!!) and once again tackles fly in for a few minutes
derby games have a lot more of a derby feel, like man u liverpool have lots more tackles,louder fans and more taunting, faster pace, ball regularly being lost
shots dont lose as much pace thru deflections. wenever i shoot and its deflected it takes all the pace off and the keeper always makes it in time. some should loop into the air and go in or fall to a fellow striker
refs decisions should also result in the tempo of the game. in a man utd arsenal game aggresive challenges are expected so wont a bad tackle wont be punished as much as a tackle that comes flying in during a slow paced game
you should be able to contest refs decisions. like wen you foul someone or get fouled press a button and players surround the ref,arguing the opposition player should be sent off or the opposition dived. weaker refs could be influenced by this by giving less fouls and cards out wen one team is constantly harrasing him,and stronger refs would not be influenced by this,then booking players who go on at him for too long. and aggresive refs who react by giving more free kicks and bookings against the team who is causing him most greif
diving could be good,as once again the weaker refs more likely to be conned and stronger refs booking the culprit. you could just go down wen under challenge from minimal contact getting a free kick or knock the ball past a slide tackle and fling yourself to the floor under no contact
sorry i didint realise how long this is!! but these are things i think would make pes greater than it is now. hope some of my ideas are something that people like. i think shirt pulling and the emotional side could be great effects in the game. long live konami and pro evo soccer
