Re: PES 2009 News Discussion Etc. (STRICTLY NO FIFA DEMO IMPRESSIONS OR POLITICAL CHA
Woah, this place does a fantastic job of lowering expectations because I found the game miles better than what you folks were saying.
The clearest change is that now PES is the thinking mans game, the old tricks no longer work. It seems as if it's going to reward those with a footballing brain, with a greater emphasis on intricate football rather than steaming past the last man and lashing it in from miles out.
The way players try to shield off the player behind them whilst the ball is in the air and the little bits like that have been tweaked for the better. There's a lot of depth to this game.
One thing that I haven't gotten to grips with yet is the shooting. They've tweaked the long range shooting to the point where more often than not the ball will float harmlessly over the bar. Whilst this may simply be down to the technicalities of how I'm going about setting up my shooting opportunities, I kind of fancy myself as a long range aficionado and this hasn't set well with me. Similarly they could do with changing the free kicks because they are still way too random.
Overall this game is a damn sight better that what people here have led me to believe. Aesthetically it is miles better than 2008 and is now up to scratch. The gameplay is now much more challenging which is something that we will all welcome.
If you are genuinely upset with this game then I don't think that you would have found any of the previous PES games enjoyable, in which case then the game just isn't for you (and probably never has been)
But yeah, I can confirm that Konami aren't eating babies and they're back on the straight and narrow.
