There you go, pick and choose what points you feel comfortbale with and then ramble away regurgitating the same redundant opinions that you already said and changing things around as you go along. You very good at side stepping certain issues and responses instead of answering the questions that are at hand I put forward in a directly manner. Then give some lame excuse that you cant read it because its got insults in. Boo hoo, you've called me far worse. In the whole of my last post I only called you a hypocrite and mainly insulted your ideas rather than directly attacked you as I do not know you except now I managed come to the conclusion that you are a simpleton. Because you wanna behave as if your above insults when you have already directly called me a c**t because you didnt like me challenging your straw man arguments that were littered with contradictions.
Your a waste of time, as you demonstrate that your clearly unable to answer any of my questions that are too challenging for your straw man concept. Until you grow some balls and actually learn to read and comphrend others opinions and respond in a likely manner, I suggest you stfu and refrain from discussion instead of embarressing yourself further in future.
I will be honest when I say that I did not read everything you said in your last post; I simply cannot bother reading through it. You do make some obvious points about obvious things, telling people what they already now, and then you go on and make it even more boring with your pointless narrow-minded insults.
Yes, there are a lot of things wrong with PES 2010 -- everyone can see what the flaws are because the flaws are very obvious, and no, I do not think PES 2010 is in FACT the best version to date; like you said, it is my opinion.
I do think PES 2010 has a lot to learn from PES5 and PES6, they need to inject some life and soul into the game; at the same time, I can do things with PES 2010 that would be impossible with any PS2 version.
It may be hard for you to believe, but I have a very good idea of how good a 10 Minute Sim can be; I did played both PES5 and PES6 for about three years straight, and eventually, I became bored of the "pin-ball" formula and basically my expectations and ideals of how a Football Simulation can and should play -- evolved -- as a result.
I can enjoy playing PES5 and PES6 from time to time, I still have both games and can choose to play them whenever I want; that said, I do not want to be playing PES5 with High Def Graphics in year 2012,
One thing about the 10 minute time-frame is, how can I make this perfectly clear to you; the lack of TIME... 10 minutes are not enough, 10 minutes does not allows the user to THINK,
If THINKING became a driving force in how PES is played, it would be impossible to play 10 minute matches; human beings are too smart and clever,
Which is why, 10 Minute Simulations will never give the user the initiative of thinking, the power of using your "footballing brain" is not possible in a 10 minute simulation,
Konami came up with the Cards and Sliders, so that the "footballing brain" of the user can make more of a difference; you can use the L2 Strategies, and change both the formation of your team and the approach of your team on-the-fly,
The L2 Strategies are a feature in both PES5 and PES6, but without the Cards and Sliders it is not as useful nor as realistic,
Anyways,
The key problem with the Cards and Sliders is that, it doesn't makes the game fun to play; PES 2010 does feels soul-less despite the introduction of the Cards and Sliders.
Because the Cards and Sliders do not really touch on the outdated core gameplay mechanics, it just gives you a bit more control over how the COM will behave without the ball, etc, etc.
You simply hold the L2 button + tap any of the 4 buttons used for passing and shooting the ball -- and this will produce a little reaction from the COM.
This was used in PES5 and PES6, and it works better now because of the Sliders and the Cards; but the key problem is that you can play PES5 and then play PES 2010 and you will see that the games are basically identical, with some slight, and in my opinion, irrelevant differences.
Now you mentioned the word "fan-boy",
I think you are something of a fan-boy, all your arguments revolve around an outdated concept, when people do not agree with your views you insult them, and you have a hard time understanding the points of others; in this case, my points.
For one thing, you are debating with me, but you clearly do not understand my opinion... because you do not want to understand my opinion,
------------------------------------------------------
"Let me reiterate, the concept is unpractical because adding more minutes doesn’t automatically translate into a better video game."
------------------------------------------------------
You should know the difference between the word "fan-boy" and personal insults such as "moronic",
I judged you with the same kindness you initially judged me,
-------------------------------------------------------
"What I want is practical and realistic and will make the game better. What you want is a game that exactly resembles real life football at the cost of removing the pick up and play fun factor which defines the series."
--------------------------------------------------------
Again showing the traits of a fan-boy,
You still think the word "fun" means the same thing for everyone, you are somehow incapable of acknowledging the HUGE difference between 20 minutes and 90 minutes; and you still have no idea of what you're talking about.
As for your opinion,
I do NOT respect your opinion, a lot of people share that same opinion; I think that type of thinking is narrow-minded and regressive.
I don't have a problem with you thinking that PES5 is all that you say it is; I have a problem with you thinking that you are right when you are clearly blinded by your intent,
---------------------------------------------------
"All PES5 controls would need are some slight tweaks and additions married with the ideology of the design of the game(PES5) itself. It isn't simply a case of adding another 20 minutes as you so crudely put it."
---------------------------------------------------
Most of you guys would be happy if Konami simply developed PES5 with High Def Graphics.
As a fan of the series myself,
I can see that a lot of things cannot be properly-implemented into a 10 minute game, and in my opinion, the original ambition of PES will never truly Evolve if the game is based on a 10 Minute Concept.
I guess we have a different definition for the word "evolution",
