I want to use two print screens I took from a pes2020 to highlight a big issue with football games these days and why PES hás been so low iq and depressing.
Look at the First pic below. If You were the one with a controlar playing as Bayern, answers me honestly, to whom You would pass the ball ?
With a quick contextual analysis, I personally would pass the ball into space for my left wing to run as theres a HUGE Free space avaliable for him to run without any defender in between.
The other option would be passing the ball direct to the attacker, but since there are two Defenders in between the ball and the attacker, It would be extremely unlikely that the ball would reach my attacker without being deviated somehow, wich could bê a wasting opportunity, specially considering that the Bayern player is almost at Full Sprint with the ball under possession wich makes It even harder to adjust the body for a perfect pass.
The problem is that the ball physics seem to be manipulated in a way that the ball tracjetory is UNREACHABLE for the defenders, It rounds them and reachs the attacker perfectly to get into opponent area and shoot. See:
The game is constantly rewarding this Blind forward passing mentality that does not take contextual into account. It doesnt matter If there are players in between the ball and the attacker that could potentielly intercept the pass, countless times the ball tracjetory is manipulated in a way that makes It unreachable for the defenders, Rounding the whole defence perfectly and reaching attacker feet perfectly.
