Re: PES 2009 News Discussion Etc. (STRICTLY NO FIFA TALK OR POLITICAL CHAT)
Why do you say 'see sense' as if, if anyone else says otherwise then they're not right ? And why hopefully? what are you hoping will happen?
I hated it at first - it felt really stiff to move but after releasing the run button and playing against the misses it's grown on me. I've scored some stunning goals and some scrappy ones and the tackling just makes me go weak at the knees at times - I adore a good sliding tackle especially to block a shot and you just can't do that on fifa.
Now after a day of playing nothing but the PES09 demo when I went back to FIFA it felt awful. Way too much animation and the response times were shocking.
No, I say see sense as in I hope others will agree, take the game back, and make Konami suffer for a year. I have been a fan since the ISS days on the N64, and I have purchased every game down the lines since, even PES2008 for that matter.
It just all feels stupidly arcadey now, I feel like when I was playing Virtua Striker as a kid on the broken pad down at the local amusements. It feels like it's gone back in time to me, and Konami have effortlessly rolled out another edition of this game, with slight tweaks from a game I had to basically force myself to enjoy. (2008)
Now, DO NOT say I am a fanboy or anything, I liked Fifa 08 for a couple of weeks then got bored of it to the extent I didn't play it for the rest of the year. I have however not got bored of 09 at all yet, and it is such a more in-depth football game that has clearly had time spent on working out what actually happens during a football match.
"I adore a good sliding tackle especially to block a shot and you just can't do that on fifa." I can't understand this comment, I like a nice sliding tackle as much as the next person, and maybe it is different on Fifa, but on PES the player slides in at the exact same angle every time, when does that happen IRL?
As for: "Now after a day of playing nothing but the PES09 demo when I went back to FIFA it felt awful. Way too much animation and the response times were shocking." I am going to do that in a minute, I'll let you know how it honestly feels for me. I do know what you mean with regards to that though, it happened to me with PES2008/FIFA08.
Hmmm - something very fishy about this post!
Clearly, keep laughing your arse off.
it can't be worse than 2008. you're just enfuriated.
How do you work out that it can't be worse? Anything can be worse..
Yes fishy like a complete fishing boat
I have the game since yesterday ( played the 360 version )and the people who already mentioned that it is graphical better than the demo are right; it looks a lot sharper on the pitch, especially in daylight.
The animations are also slightly better than in the demo and somehow it looks like the animations are better with slower pacing teams.
The AI is surely better, especially when playing the Master League. The CPU surely adopts to you if you play the same tactics in more matches in a row.
Online ( LIVE ) is lagless, although I only played 1.5 match ( thrown out in the first one after a "disc is not readable" - error ). So absolutely no complaints in that department. I hosted both games, so maybe joining is different, I don't know.
Other things are yet to be tested, so I keep it by this small report.
I 100% agree that the graphics look better, close up more than anything, which you see about 5% of during a match.
I also agree that the animations have slightly improved.
I haven't played ML yet, have you though, or are you just listening to what Seabass has told you?
I have heard different about online, from people joining games.
I also agree other things are yet to be tested, I don't doubt that, I just feel that the game has drfited miles from reality and it's not really something that I want to spend my time playing.
I respect other peoples opinions, but I stand by my comment that I hope people take it back, as it would be nice for Konami to take a blow for a change and maybe realise that they're not cutting it any more with their measly updates.
I leave this completely open for discussion, afterall, it is only my opinion.

I just don't like the PES demo though but I might have to give it another go.
