Having played WE10 for 5 months straight and enjoyed every minute of it, goalies aside, I was a little put off by the passing at first. It did feel like the players were kicking a ball full of water around for the first few days.
Once this has passed and I got used to it I could appreciate that perhaps WE10 was a bit more ping-pong than it should be. From here, I began to pick up on the improvements.
- Goalies. Still susceptible at times but they have been smartened up considerably. Occasionally, you'll see a PES 6 keeper clutch the ball in mid air and fall to the ground. This didn't happen much, if at all, in WE10. Harder shots would be propelled to the nearest striker without fail. There's a greater chance of seeing a one-handed save in PES6 too.
- Goal variety. I'm playing a Serie A season with Inter ( can't start ML until editing is done... ) and haven't stumbled on identikit surefire goals.
- Better headers. A skilled player can actually bullet headers into the ground.
- Decent editing. Same as WE 10 but this is the best in the PES series. Most kits can be replicated to within 90 per cent of real life counterparts. With a max drive it's possible to edit a licensed kit so it means the game can never go out of date. For example, today I edited Bayern Munich and put them in the maroon CL kit and managed to stick a sponsor logo. It looks absolutely superb now.
- The 18 free slots. I'm loving it. Had a hard time choosing the teams and I've a lot of work ahead of me but I'm appreciating the space. Got the big German teams in, so the loss of the league hasn't been painful. With guys like Blue Scouse providing emblems, the free slots actually look better than La Liga.
