i just cannot understand this game, on assisted, and 1 bar passing, it is just rigid, it s not enjoyable at all on superstar, u can t work ur way through as u want, it s just a rigid game, messi is like he isn t even there, it s like i don t have suarez as a striker, dembele, is totally slow and bad,... man the attack just isn t there, u can t score, there s always this rigidity that does nt let u go close to the area to shoot and score, it is just a bad design for the game, for christ sake im playing barcelona, not some sunday league club with 60 rated players, man the amount of annoying stuff happening on superstar is just atrocious, i could go on on and on, man, khalas, i m not playing this game anymore even on league mode, it s just rigid
I don't get how people don't notice how this game is absolutely broken when we're talking about players mobility, They all looks like they had 150kg or even more. Play with players that should be very agile is terrible. Like you say, when you're playing with a technical player, he just look like a obese former player playing football. There's no freedom on changing direction. They're too rigid for this. It's a terrible experience try to make the moves that players like Messi, Neymar and others do on real life. It's just dont work on the game.
To make it worst, CPU players are pressing the ball, players and space all the time. When I say all the time, i'm mean literally all the time. This is incredible unrealistic. There's no player or team that is capable to do it all the time like CPU players. So the game is too much physical. Players pushing and fighting each other all the time.
Stamina mechanics is a real problem. Even if you play with not advanced tactics on and don't run with the players all the time, lot of them will be tired much before the game is over. If you try to play with real tactics, the 50% of the team will die at 70 minutes of the game or even last. In other hand, CPU IA can run forever and they never gets really tired.
IA it's just unbalanced and they can predict everything you will do on the game. IA players looks like they have a +50 boost on every parameter since they have perfect pass, perfect tackle, perfect crossing and perfect fighting for the ball all the time. Again: all the time. No matter if you playing against a weak oponent. They're will play like masters! I hate when I'm playing with a very fast player like Mbappe and CPU IA defenders can outpass him. Really Konami? Really? And when weak teams have perfect off the ball movements açl the time like they was coached by Guardiola or Klopp? God......
But, yes, even with these problems, I think it's the only football game that at least try to looks like real football. It's playable. Not too much enjoyable for the most of the time, but it's playable for me. The gameplay, even with these issues, is somehow very realistic, but it's not a great game. If they could improve these topics, PES would be simply perfect. Because the passe, the weight of the ball, lot of on the ball and off the ball movements, lot of things are great. But what Konami wants? E-Football...
I would love to play PES playing with Messi that is like he's on real life. Vinicius Jr like it was on real life. Players that have great mobility and can change direction really fast. But it's not. Theyre, like you say, just too much rigid. I think this is by for the worst issue with PES.
I think the biggest problem with PES is Konami listen too much the comunity, specially youtubers. Like Steve Jobs said, if you ask for people what they want, you will never create a iPhone.
