This is EXACTLY the point I was trying to make to
@klashman69
Burton/Burnley/Rotherham etc shouldn't be able to play super accurate pinpoint passes and deadly clinical finishes from 30 yards every single time, Barca can do it most of the time, Liverpool can most of the time, Juve, Bayern, the biggest best teams can, but Burnley/Burton cannot, but in PES they do.
I watched the stream, hes on either top player or professional.
He said himself he wasn't very good. Got his ass handed to him by ADO Den Haag. Infact he didn't really seem to be playing at his best, he just seems to be enjoying all the attention because he has the game early so hes just showcasing stuff for views.
That should tell you everything really.
That's why every match feels identikit, because they are.
I've never once thought to myself in the last few years playing PES "Oh Wow, this COM team is packing defense, using 2 holding DMF's. Im going to have to play wide and draw them out, look for triangles in around the back of them"
or
"The COM team are utilising their extra man in midfield by playing sideways passes to lure me on to the ball so they can create space in front of my defence for their no 9 to play in, Im going to have to stand off, cover lanes and be patient"
Just doesn't happen.
Thing is as i said before, if the guy isn't very good and just allows so much space for the AI to play easy direct passes and allows the AI time to pick his shots, what do you expect AI teams just to miss chances and play scrappy football because they aren't Barca, Juve or Bayern?
I stumbled across this channel recently and its easy to find with this girl speaking about Boltons troubles and them getting smashed 5-0 every week in League 1. James Norwood apparently was on fire and could of scored about 5 in the first half and helped truly take Bolton apart in the second half. James Norwood is a bonafide career lower league player who was prolific at Tranmere for the last 3-4 seasons, but! He is prolific within the quality he faces. The reason he was able to bully Bolton recently is because the quality gap between Ipswich a very strong league 1 team and Bolton who have about 6 players with the rest of the team academy teens from 16-18 years old thrown in because the club was facing financial extinction! 92 league goals in 189 appearances for Tranmere in 4 seasons and not every goal was some scrappy tap in, he scored some quality goals because he given the space in lower leagues to do so and does not come up against elite teams who will force him into mistakes showing hes on a lower level.
The point i seem to make all the time is quality and competitiveness matters if you want realism! This seems to gets lost as soon as this red mist sets in as soon as a few 'lazer guided passes' are seen. I saw no issues whatsoever with how the AI played on the stream, it was just a little boring to be honest because the guy isn't a very good player and isn't going hard at the AI anyway.
Lastly the reason i mentioned Bolton getting smashed by Ipswich and James Norwood is because you keep mentioning Burnley, you stick Burnley against half a team of average pros then the other half being Academy players who if correctly rated on PES would struggle to even reach 50 overall even they would cut through them very easily and some passes may even seem lazer guided, this same instance goes to someone on PES who isn't playing well and is allowing space to make the opposition look good. Remember, Burnley play the way they do because of the competition around them in the Premier League.
So i disagree with you both here. The guy in the stream isn't good at PES, your both overreacting. Lazer guided passes aren't an issue from what i saw. Its simple to stop, if he was good and couldn't stop it, I'd agree.
If that one Italian defender is still in Defaults (Giorza), he's getting an armband of captainry and we build new Milan around him even though he's RB lol. I'm just gonna rob Serie B of all Italian talents and climb up, same as with Spezia in PES 17.
