Konami NEED to find proper playtesters - I mean, how could your playtesters not note that the referee is not only biased, but wrong the majority of the time?
How many times do you get the ball in the penalty area but give away a penalty, even though it's plain to see you got the ball way before the player?
How many times are you in THIER penalty area, about to shoot then get taken out from behind for the ref to wave it away??
How can they not notice the commentator says SHOTS (not SHOOTS, SHOTS) some of the time? I mean it's pretty basic stuff!
How on earth could they NOT notice this, it seems PES2010's main idea is to annoy you to death!!
Not only that, but what's with the ping pong in midfield? You spend half the game running round chasing the ball as they (e.g. Real Madrid) always have a way to pass, but when you get a ball your entire team turn into retards and give the ball away?
If your going to add that sort of AI into the game then make BOTH teams have clever positioning, after all the player can't control the placement of 11 players at once.
Next is passing - I've lost count of the times I've had a player close, pressed in his direction and pass and it passes miles out to someone else? I mean WTF??? It's blatently obvious who I mean to pass to but the game spoons it? why? and don't say manual passes - I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get the player to make a basic pass to someone yards away in open space.
Why can't I choose which player I want to change to and why can't I choose WHEN I want to change?
It seems if they have a striker running towards your penalty area it just won't choose the player you want until it's too late. Instead you have to hammer the player change button like crazy in the hope you'll get to be that player before they score as your other defenders seem incapable of being positioned anywhere remotely useful.
Why do you only get the choice of having the AI change player for you, pressing L1 to get the AI to choose a player and sometimes changing for you or pressing L1 to change and having the AI spoon it if you don't press L1 before they get it?
Give us the option (in defense for instance) to NEVER change player UNLESS we press L1 or get the ball.
In short, just get someone who IS NOT on the development team to actually play the game - as it seems you have made PES2010 all about playing football the way YOU want us to play rather than the way WE want to play and added in artificial barriers to force us to do this -
e.g.
You go to intercept a ball and a magical invisible barrier stops you.
You go to run back in defense, the ball goes near your player and they automatically make the most retarded attempt to get the ball ever, completely messing up your run. If -I- want to attempt an interception then -I- will, stop forcing it to mess it up and stop the run.
You get the ball, you launch it forward and your striker(s) are in a MASSIVELY offside position - why? Do you guys actually watch football or what? you won't find Rooney sat in the penalty area whilst there's no defender in 10 meters of him in a real game, so why's he doing it in this? Just an artificial attempt to stop you playing the ball fast to the strikers as the defensive AI can't cope with it.
With throw-ins it actually MAKES YOU WAIT for the opposition to mark your players before it'll let you throw? I mean WTF? my players have no one near them, i hit X, hell I HAMMER X and it just won't do ANYTHING until the opposition get to mark people!
If you get the ball with your keeper, you can't throw it out or kick it out until the opposition have run back - why? Seems you've coded it to not allow players to take advantage of the fact that some teams send loads of players up for attack.
What's with freekicks/corners when subs are being made? It makes you wait until the icon at the bottom is gone meaning if you have an obvious opening you can't take it - surely it should do the sub and THEN go to the corner/freekick?
You go to slide, you GET the ball, then thier player is up like a flash and has the ball back but your player seems superglued to the floor?
Surely if they can get up that fast, so should you be able to?
Or you take the ball (slide) and another opposition player is there to pick up the ball - never seems to be that one of your players is there but yet they always are? why?
How about releasing a game a few months before PES2011, like a PES2011 preview. Give us a chance to actually point out where your going wrong as it's the most basic things that your messing up.
Just a few fixs and you'd have an amazing game. As it is, it's a good game when it doesn't go wrong. (e.g. amazing last second tackle, replay shows you clearly got the ball first and yet it's a red EVERY time but your about to score, get taken out from behind, they don't even TOUCH the ball and nothing given).
At the very least FIX your mistakes - it can't be that hard to patch the ref surely?
And what the HELL is with 'GOD MODE', you can be dominating a game, you score and all of a sudden they just can't be tackled, we're talking THREE ON ONE and they STILL can't tackle them??? Even Messi/Ronaldo can't do that 100% of the time, but once god mode is on, it just seems that the PC has choosen that it will score and will BIAS everything to the opposition favour. It's just silly!
Maybe I'm gettin cynical, but it seems your more worried about getting a bigger audience (multi platform) and raking the money in then fixing basic mistakes as you might have to fix them more than once on different platforms.
And that rather than FIX the code you have to make it work, you hide the fallability of the AI by adding in 'workarounds' to stop them being exposed. e.g. no fast throw ins, ref waits till they have all players back before allowing free kick, can't always throw the ball out fast, makes you wait on throw ins for the AI to get in position.
PES just seems to be minor improvements now, nothing more. PES 2010 is just PES 2008 ver 3.
