...some impressions & comparisons between WE9 & PES5...
my m8 and I have been playing the unofficial PES5 release (the one with no netplay) for a day or so...
PES5 movie intro is totally different to WE9 (except for the ending, last 3 or 4s).
Menu's, backdrop etc.. look the same - Lampard, Drogba & Henry appear i
n main menu (but both Chelsea's players are wearing 04/05 kits, whilst Henry has Arsenal's 05/06).
...kits...
WE9 - Not all kits are 05/06 for example Barcelona's
PES5 - Official Kits 05/06 & emblems for ALL licenced teams;
well we've looked at all teams, we think that...
La Liga (spainish league), Serie A (italian league) and Eredivisie (dutch league)
aswell as Chelsea, Arsenal, Celtic, Rangers, Dynamo Kiev, FC Porto, Galatasaray,
Rosenborg and maybe some other teams have 05/06 kits.
..Gameplay (solo - playing level @ 4 & 5 star) with mod'd PAL PS2...
WE9 - Game speed ok but may be slow - sometimes cpu players (both yours
& opposition) seem to 'staticly fly' not run across the pitch, player movement
with ball may be slow at times especially when trying to dribble.
PES5 - Game speed is wooOOSH, player movement brilliant both in PAL & NTSC modes.
-> when crossing ball (pressing O) from wing into area...
WE9 - you have to manually guide player/ball the way pass should
be aimed/crossed at, if not you'll see how your player kicks the ball out of play.
PES5 - auto cross to penalty area or nearest team player in area.
The same happens when doing a through-pass (pressing Triangle),
WE9 manual/guided pass - PES5 semi/auto pass.
-> As mentioned in previous posts; keepers seem to be sharper and better
at what they do... different movement, saves & awareness is well improved.
-> Fouls seem to be handled better, eg. had advantage given, and after gameplay,
opposition player was booked.
The way players are tackled vary to WE8LE, don't see anychanges
between WE9/PES5.
In general I think that I like PES5 a bit more than WE9.
Anyway going to continue playing before I write a book.
