Re: FIFA 16 News & Discussion Thread
Now THAT'S what I call "feel the fabric"...
My 2 cents? PES kit models have a bigger, very bigger potential than FIFA ones. Just look at Barcelona's 2014/15 kit for a comparison: FIFA has just a handful of collar models so real-life kits have to be adapted to the existing models, on the other hand PES has a lot of collar models that vary depending on what real-life kits need so it's the other way round: models adapt to real-life kits so they look way more accurate.
THen, Konami designers are too lazy with textures, I agree, but all in all the PES way of doing kits would bring more accurate results than what we can achieve in FIFA.
What I always liked in FIFA is the way they handle fabric patterns and "reflections" on the mask.
In PES there are three "states" in the mask: with pattern, with lighter pattern, shiny without pattern. In FIFA we have at least 5x those combinations.
We could have parts of the kit with "regular" pattern, others without pattern, even parts with meshes...
And for every of them we can decide whether it's completely matte or completely shiny, and also have options in the middle (so we could have 100% shiny and no pattern for logos, and maybe 40% shiny and a mesh under the arms and so on). Just a lot of freedom more.
The texture/models from Konami with the freedom of the EA mask would be the best kit next-gen football games could have.
