Downloaded and tested PES 2014 demo to compare it with ef 2022
Played in windowed mode with a 144 hz monitor:
-The best footplanting/footwork ever implemented in a soccer game
-Photorealistic graphics (not the clarity of today's games though)
-Body collisions physics are TOP (with minor bugs)
-Ball physics are very good

You can test it again, there are many sites hosting the demo (1.6gb)
Set pass assist to zero, and use only through pass, as regular pass is erratic.
I can see the close control mechanic, excecuting skils is very fast and works really well, AIhas some serious awereness issues.
This game was an unrefined diamond.

I always felt like pes 2014 was held back by the hardware from that console generation, theres things I miss from that release that never made it back to later games

Having a back 5 is the most effective way to defend in the game online. Played against a Mazen deciple yesterday in the J League challenge. Its very effective until you go a goal behind. I scored a nice goal an all but was caught sleeping straight after. Was a interesting game.

Basically the 2 most cheasy formations the last 2 years, were 5-2-3 and 4-2-4. When things get "competitive" and people point to the 'meta', ignoring the midfield is the most obvious option to exploit.

Now I had two games where I was winning, opponent quit, and didnt get points. Is this hapening often?

In previous PES games, and especially in PC and much less often in Sony/MS consoles, this was the standard case for the last 11 years.

The different is, it used to be P2P connection. This year it is rumored? or officially announced that the game used dedicated servers for online. So i do not know if it can be exploited by cheaters to NULIFY matches.

(basically i've read an article, about a way to NULIFY matches in dedicated servers, in a FUT "scandal" years ago, but i do not know if it applies to other games)

Nullifing the game, was the very first reason, (of thousand others latter) i stopped playing Online.

I just got promoted to division one but when I press OK the game immediately crashes. Tried everything. Fresh install, etc. Anyone able to help??

Nice rewards for my efforts. I'm stuck on this page. Clicking OK crashes the game. Really pissed off.

Ιt's not a crash mate...You simply completed the game!!! :D... It just lacks ending cinematic, like the old MK II-III in contrast to SFII !!! :D :P

Jokes aside, if it something usual cause of lack of proper playtesting, then you are lucky, many other people report it, and they will be more carefull in future events, maybe some apologies-GP too! :)

If you are unlucky and it is on your end, cause of some bad game's optimization (an isolated bug, which i doubt to be honest) , then ..............:shiver:
Keep an eye on Twitter and Reddit, in case other people report the same.

Cheers. I'm not alone. have seen a few on Steam with the same issue. It's just terrible as it should be a great moment to get to top division.

Hoping for some apology GP defo :)

I hope so for you.

Basically, i try to avoid to be negative, but knowing how KONAMI used to work in their annual ex-PES game, very little to non-existent playtesting, and update with hotfixes taking 3~4 months to come, in order to fix only the most basic bugs of the game, and not always every bug.

And in this context, they want now to give a Game-As-A-Service, with events that will last how long? Weekly? 15-day events? It needs a lot porper testing, or quick-fixing, which at best can take from Thursday to Thursday.... I mean they must change their established working standards, if they want this to work.

But well... Sorry but it's aswell as they're forcing us to play online, they're forcing us also to play with the circle and and the arrow. No joke but that thing it's ugly/ultra cheap and Mobilish for sure, but at least you're sure about the direction given to your player while you're shooting, dribbling and passing.

Not sure what you mean, you can turn that stuff off.
 
To all the ones complaining about disconnections... How on Earth did you find an opponent, in the first place?
I can't find an online match (trying to play the MLS event with the fake San Jose team) to save my life, apparently.
Playing on PC, "gradually increase distance" option activated in the search (I don't know if it's named like that in English as I have the game in Italian, but you get what I mean). Nobody around.

I dont think many plays those events constantly. Only to get the gp and thats it.
 
It's been a mixed bag for me today in the online games. I've had to quit a couple of matches because I literally could not control my players because of the delay. When it's good & running smoothly the game's are really enjoyable but it's not often enough ATM.

I refuse to continue matches where I have zero control anywhere on the pitch & my opponent is dancing around like Messi everywhere. It's just such a horrible, frustrating experience.
 
How do all those people already have a squad of messi mbappe van dijk ??

I mean how can they have so many gp?
I get the legends wich were gifted.. but the rest?

Yes. Funny as yesterday was my worst day on efootball. Not even in results. I'm not feeling the responsiveness problems in Dream Team online. The crazy player ratings also seem to take away from the personallity of the match. I'm already bored if these super teams and easy wins vs people with weak teams. In general theres too many people who just spend lots of money instead of learning the game.

The J-League, MLS online matches were good though. Balanced ratings help the games shining points come in with some great matches.

They are buying coins to get every legend and blow all their gp gifts on a few superstars. Some played a ton of te shitty 0.9.1 to farm tons of gp.

Konami should really over think their match making.. every game i play i go up against those legend teams..
Zero skill but they have those legends who help them win..

What camera are you using? I'm using custom stadium and i'm facing the same problem as yours. Does the camera affect the target locking?

Just stadium with it zoomed out fully. But it feels too "close" still in comparison to 2020/1, so I'm considering changing.

Dynamic Wide. I want to play on Stadium but I need all the help I can get to direct the ball. 😄

Does it keep up with the action? I might change to it not for aiming but just because these melts online want to twat it forward every chance they get and my camera doesn't always keep up.

If you look at it through the prism of profit, it maybe makes more sense. Can't win against strong teams? Can't filter teams to your strength level? Better put your own money into the game then and upgrade your team!

I think it's incredibly telling that they removed team strength filters even from their divisions/league mode for Dream Team. They had it in myChub. So I can assume they only removed it because they want to funnel people to spending real money ASAP.

"But it's FREE". Yeah, thanks for that. Aids is free as well.

There is a criticism in here somewhere.

Does it turn on the idea that not spending on this game is somehow stingy? That we should be spending a bit on it, since, ya know, it's free!

If that's in any way part of the idea: get in the bin.
 
It was nice when Konami were just throwing points at me, and I could buy 1-2 players each day, but now that they have started to kind of drip feed them, the "old style Master League" thrill is kind of going away.
