Passing
I played on PA1, 2 and 3 on the day and PA1 is definitely borderline manual with passes and shooting going astray with such ease. It will certainly be my preferred choice if I venture into playing the game offline this year. PA2 still had the instances of passes being misplaced and shooting being less guided but it was certainly easier to build up passes with this assistance and I think it will be commonly used online. PA3actually seemed to speed up the game (which could explain the recent vids that we’ve all seen) as passing and shooting obviously became much easier, it is a slight concern as the majority of online players will potentially use this level of assistance. I know it’s a bug bare for so many people but I think the only way to eradicate these issues and provide a skill gap would be to have just manual and assisted. Without the 3 varying levels. We can all dream eh?
JUST GIVE US PROPER ONLINE FILTERS! GAAH!
Nice little write-up.
As you say, we need online filters now. The top three divisions of players will all be using PA3. Online will be hell. But then, online
is hell...
As a sidenote, though.
Imagine you're Konami. Imagine that, at every event you host, a lot of the players are pausing the game and switching to PA3 at the earliest opportunity. Which, it would appear, is what's happening.
What are the devs going to think? Either A) "wow, the default setting (PA1) must be really hard for these guys to use, we'll have to make PA1 easier and more automatic" or - at the very least - B) "wow, these guys love playing on PA3, we'll have to make the experience better for them, and make sure they can use these controls online".
Then we wonder why the game changes from build to build.
Completely off-topic now, but I've lost count of the amount of times I've tried to play an online game of football (largely on the other game) and the kid I've been playing has been streaming music full-volume, talking to his friends, then just dropping the controller when they're losing and wandering off while I finish the game on my own...
Gaming is all about these kids. With attention spans getting shorter and shorter, it's got to be easy to pick up and easy to master. If it's not, there's got to be a way they can buy a shortcut to
make it easier. Otherwise, it's "boring", and they'll go back to Call of Duty.
I've already said it (far too often) but... Old-school gamers are screwed. Our hobby has changed.
