I can't actually come up with any realistic, logical reason why the user experience in regards to menu's and the odd omission of settings exist.
I want to believe it's intentionally bad, to deliberately frustrate the user, but again, why? What's the pay off?
Then I want to believe it's just simply designed by a group of fools and never got focused tested, but again, why? Why would you not ensure it doesn't cause problems?
It's like never checking your parachute before putting it on and jumping out of a plane... It's like shitting and never wiping your arse to check you're good as you go about your day. Why do something so drastic and never run some kind of proactive check?
Honestly - literally the last PES (2021) had every single pre match setting all on the same screen; Strip selection, Stadium, Gameplan, General settings etc... All in the same menu.
Now, It's *
- Clunk
- Fade to black
- Load next screen
- Clunk
- Fade to black
- Load next screen
So awkward and so unnecessary. All because WE MUST see their 3D rendered stadiums and pre, pre match cutscene's that get old after the first time seeing them. At least give us the option to disable these, but no. We must suffer and endure them, every time. For goodness sakes. I thought we moved on from the torture of GTA V's online lobbies and in a day and age where you're competing against the likes of Fortnite & FIFA and you can be in a contest within moments of booting those games, These guys still can't even rip off any of their own previous game's for a pleasurable ride through it's menu's.
I really enjoy the on the pitch action, I really do but it seems with Konami, as usual, it's a complexity of 10 and an execution of 5 when it should be the other round in regards to the basics.
