Game is certainly improved over 20. I’m surprised after a week or so of playing. It’s like they took out some of the cheating. Maybe nerfed superstar?? 🤷♂️
spoony handj*bs said a similar thing on his "most effective skill” channel
it sounds like some of you need to drop the difficulty down even more though. Maybe it’s a generational thing?
Arthritis kicking in
Eyes are going
who knows
I won 15 penalties last night in one match. I hope they Fix that.
What surprises me most (and I played a lot of 20 - even though it was the most infuriating Xbox experience of my life 😊) is that they marketed it as an update and until about a week before release said it has some changes. Typical idiocy from the devs again.. I went straight into exhibition and could feel difference and improvements. Happy days
can’t wait to start ML when the data pack drops.
Manual Goalkeeping is incredible. Made some insane saves with Vito Mannone last night.
We all know, and I guess agree, keepers could be way better! I want to see keepers being a totally different person on the pitch. Different set of animations matching their stats. It must be this way because keepers are not field players wearing gloves (as Konami seems to understand it)! i'm a sunday league keeper myself, so i know some of that stuff.
I have hope for 2022!
In this gen and particularly 2021, I try to rush my keeper out a bit. When in a 1vs1 situation I rush them out a few meter, not to far because the AI will lob them, just next to the 6 yard line. Just a few steps and let him do his job. I found joy in doing so and I concede less goals.
I sure know and understand that most users want the keeper to do all stuff by themselves (like they prefer PA1-3). But like I love fuma, I like having a bit of control over what my keeper does.
Could all be better and should be by now!! But I like a little challenge and do the "rush out" frequently. i make the best out of whats given here, i guess.
btw: keeper do rush out and shorten the angle sometimes... but they dont do it when there is a mate near by and both are the last hurdle for the opponent. i'm missing that one last step forward and spreading out legs and arms! instead they do a sideways catching animation. i was lucky when konami at least introduced that "one arm out" move.
anyway... i want to see something like this:
when PES keeper sometimes do these blocking (with full body) stufff... it feels so damn good! might be that i remember how it feels to save a one on one myself. its one of the greatest feelings i expirienced on the pitch! "eating that player as a whole, no matter the cost, the ball needs to miss the target!!" great stuff when it works, adrenaline rush and everything...!
yes, LB's and Keepers are special. i know!
and there is much more keeper related stuff i want to see! being able to decide how i collect a ball from a mate, fingertip saves of all kind, different goal kick animations, keeper specific animations after catching a ball, one hand over head saves, more agility/movement overall in the pen area, "anticipation moves" (moving forward to get a high ball but realizing its not gonna work out so he retreats to the line again), more and better animations catching deflected "second balls" (jumping forward with both hands for example), sidestep animations (a super vital part!!!), getting up faster for second balls, lower center of gravity when in 1vs1, moving backwards a few steps and then jump fo the ball... and more. (sorry, i love being a keeper!
)
when i was playing the other game, i really liked controlling the keeper! thats one part i really really liked! you could see and feel they were different to what a field player could do.
