Yes I did, and you missed my point. I did not say that the content of your post wasn't intelligent, or "right" or however you want to put it. But for something to be constructive it has to be interpreted as "constructive" by the target group which is "KONAMI", this being a KONAMI feedback zone and all.
Research will back up what I say now, but I don't think you would need such proof after you've read and comprehended what I am about to say.
Criticism works best when the target is in a good mood. In order to achieve that, say something positive about the subject you're about to criticize constructively. As a matter of fact, you can pretty much tell a person he's a complete asshole if you wrap it in the right package.
I did read your post, and you talked about a lot of technical stuff I don't really have a clue about, but the general "mood" of that post is "I know better than you, KONAMI, so just do it my way and everything will be better".
It may well be that you are completely right, but the general human being does not like to be belittled and told how to do their jobs better.
I am currently studying at the university, in my curriculum I am amongst other subjects studying how to motivate people, and how to constructively criticize them to improve their performance. I was simply sharing some of the things I've learned here for free, like you did.
But if you are not open for constructive criticism, how can you expect KONAMI to be?
Have a nice day.
I suggest you read your post once again, you were not constructive in any way; and about constructive criticism you don't seem to know much... as you have not talked about anything relevant regarding PES, you have not encouraged constructive criticsm, and now you are lecturing me about how I should communicate with Konami.
I think Konami might feel motivated if they read what I had to say in a thread that reads, "too easy to hold possession"
PES exists because I buy it, I know that over 150 grown-up people work on PES on a yearly basis.... I do not think I know better than Konami, I believe Konami knows what I know well before I knew it.
And as for you, I know I know better than you and Stormrider, and I'm not boasting about it nor am I hiding it... I just know it to be true... because I have read what Stormrider had to say and also what you had to say, and honestly, it's just redundant and obvious.
I have not criticized any specific area of PES11 because I have not played the finished version of PES11; however, I do know the core flaw will be the same because PES11 is based on PES10, and therefore, PES11 is based on the same old uni-polar concept and thus will have the same old flaws.
Konami knows how the game can be fixed, but why go through all that trouble when your fans will happily pay you $50 for an outdated product?
Hey, the Government has a lot of green technology but they have not gone public about it... They make us believe that they have not found solutions, when the truth is, that they have many solutions and alternatives keept underground.
You know why?
Because the Government will make BILLIONS with OIL, and OIL has not run out yet, and the less OIL there is, the more money they will make... and after they have squeezed every drop of OIL there is, then they will release their green technology and everyone will NEED to buy their product.
Konami is a business, PES has been in business for over 15 years, they know how the game can improve, they know why the flaw is there, and if they bothered reading what I have said in this thread, they would agree with it.
The thing is that I am not underestimating Konami, if anything, I am over-estimating Konami... in other words, it is YOU whom is underestimating Konami,
And in doing so, you are telling me to treat KONAMI as if KONAMI was an impressionable 15 year old kid who needs motivation in order to swallow something that he might not want to hear... but KONAMI is not your buddy, KONAMI is a COMPANY, PES is a FRANCHISE; why should I be bland with constructive criticism?
Constructive criticism is not meant to be bland, it is meant to be objective and relevant, and thus, respectful. Do you know why you don't have a clue about my technical stuff??
You might take my tone as blunt or not adequate; however, if I was a member of the PES team, and I read what you had to say about my product... I would be happy because it means that you have no idea about how the game should improve, and thus, you will be satisfied if PES12 is just a very small tweak on PES11; but also, I would be disappointed, because it shows that people do not really appreciate your product enough to know why certain things have not improved.
And I remind you, that this thread is not a thread for POSITIVE things, it clearly reads: "too easy to old possession"
If you want to praise Konami for their work, you can go to the countless of threads that exist for that very purpose; you do not see myself going to a thread called "PES11 positives" to talk about the negatives do you?
In my opinion, you underestimate me and you also underestimate Konami, and you do not understand constructive criticsm very well. What you consider "constructive criticism" will never be objective if we don't have a mutual respect and mutual understanding.
You said that you don't understand my technical stuff... and if you don't have a clue about my argument, how the hell can you question it? how the hell can you even give me suggestions when you don't have a clue about the argument?
Because rather than trying to understand something that you currently don't understand, you prefer to criticize it, you don't want to know WHY you do not understand my "technical" argument.... No, no, you don't want to communicate with me, you just want to lecture me about how you think constructive criticism should work... Never mind the fact that you have no clue about the actual subject.
I don't care about your choice of words, if you question my argument without understanding my argument... I take that as an insult.
Without constructive criticsm it's difficult to progress... Unfortunately, the critics and politics of the world underestimate the masses, and School teaches the masses how to submit and obey in the most efficient way; and this is why 20% of the world population consumes 80% of the existing natural resources, because questioning the established system is obscene.
It is obscene to go to the White House and say, "why the fuck is the US in Iraq, and how come you have not captured Osama bin Laden and yet you did captured Saddam Hussein?" -- that's constructive criticism, that's healthy -- but the world is not controlled by people who tolerate constructive criticsm.
And thus, questioning the established concept is obscene, but 300,000 American Citizens dying in Iraq because the Wall Street guys wanted to make more money than they already have, is not obscene.
I know this is PES, it's only a video game, but I'm just saying that, in my opinion, in this particular circumstance, your constructive criticism is redundant... because you underestimate both Konami and the Consumers who fund PES, and because you do not actually understand the subject, which makes your constructive criticsm redundant as far as I'm concerned; no disrespect intended.
