PES 2013 Discussion Thread

Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

i dont think you quite grasp the concept... :CONFUSE:

if you instructed berbatov free license to roam then his ABILITIES of movement, anticipation, positioning etc. would determine how well he carries out that instruction.

why would a manager want berbatov to be trying sexy through balls and dribbling through 6 defenders if he is bad at through balls and dribbling ? its an option sure, but if his ABILITES are bad then you don't instruct him to do tasks which relate to them.

you're not going to make john terry your poacher just because its availablein the instructions... because he quite obviously doesnt have the stats/abilities for that role

i think youre completely missing the point...

Not sure I have completely missed the point. You said that the CPU team would use the individual instruction options that I said would be of no use to the team you can control. I would not want to play Fulham and have the CPU tell Berbatov to often run with the ball, rarely play through balls, do not hold up the ball, do not roam from position and not play as a deep lying forward. I dont see these actions being massively stat effected, is there a stat that determines how often the player will play a through ball? Is there a stat for holding up play? Is there a stat for running with the ball and taking players on? To me these things are part of the players personality. No doubt Berbatov has the skill to run and dribble past a few players, does he though? No because hes Berbatov, when he has a few players around him he will use his skills differently. Does he have the ability to not hold up play and rarely play a great through ball, sure he does but he does this because hes Berbatov.
I understand that giving John Terry instructions to be a goal poacher is pointless because of his stats. I am not talking about skills I am talking about players Behaviors, which is why I earlier said that I appreciate what Konami are trying to do with their removal of individual options and the reliance on AI or Player ID as its now called.

To be honest I'm seriously contemplating doing that. Sometimes you have to vote with your feet (or wallet in this case).

The way Konami behaves pisses me off. The boots thing, no second PC demo, no release date.....perhaps I'll pass on this game and pick it up second hand in November or something.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

For me it doesnt

The AI is way too limited and 1 dimensional. They do not understand the concept of support. they do not understand to ensure possession is somewhat safe before making forward runs (especially the full backs)

To be fair some real players (Glen Johnson, Kieran Gibbs) do not understand when to make runs and when to stay put. If you are having trouble with this in the game isnt there a player with higher defence stats that will not run off and then you can get them to run manually either with a 1 - 2 or using the off ball runs command?


Strikers dont know when to make runs and drop too deep too often even when i have options to pass to.

Players who cant dribble or run should position them selves tactically. Why does Benzema drop to get the ball from Alonso?

The DM does not understand the need to protect the back for and if often found inline with them sometimes he even drops behind them.

If Benzema is dropping deep then cant you move his player marker higher up to stop this? I am pretty sure it will work.
Also with the DMF do the same, either move the CBs back or move him forward or do both, I think it will stop the problem(worked for me in 2012).

When the opposition enters the crossing area the cb do not man mark instead they are sometimes drawn to the man crossing the ball and most often leave the back post completely free.

You need to used the player switching to select that CB and move him manually, pressure the winger with the secondary pressure button.

I know the game isnt perfect but alot of it can be worked around. It would be nice to have more managerial options but it doesnt ruin the game not having them.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

Tempted to do the same to be honest, they havent got a clue what they are doing, its so frustrating. It's almost as if they want EA to win more sales lol....

I don't like Adam much, but he did the honourable thing telling people about this unrealistic boot bollocks, fair play to him.

2k does this with player tendencies...
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

You said that the CPU team would use the individual instruction options that I said would be of no use to the team you can control.

yes. all teams should have these instructions. then when AI is controlling said team they will behave accordingly, whilst when human controls the team obviously some of those options dont happen anymore - as it is up to the player to act.

I would not want to play Fulham and have the CPU tell Berbatov to often run with the ball, rarely play through balls, do not hold up the ball, do not roam from position and not play as a deep lying forward.

why would fulham do that? thats like saying you dont want a tactics board at all because you dont want to see barcelona playing 5-4-1. fulhams tactics would match their tactics of realife, as the games tries to do now with every team. :?

I dont see these actions being massively stat effected, is there a stat that determines how often the player will play a through ball?

no, instructions determine that. stats determine how well a player can play through balls, which in turn should determine how often a manager wants that player to choose a through ball.

Is there a stat for holding up play?

yes, several. strength, positioning, balance, anticipation (of incoming pass), awareness (of what team mates to lay the ball off to) etc.

Is there a stat for running with the ball and taking players on?

yes, several. dribbling, pace, technique, first touch, balance, agility etc.

To me these things are part of the players personality.

their stats are, the instructions given to them are not. and ALL players are given instructions.

you think a real manager just says "you know what, screw it, today berbatov, since you are berbatov, i will not give you instructions on how to play in my team, instead you shall play like how berbatov should play, as you are he"

thats the problem with this nowdays ; u have to buy the product or service to decide is it good or not...here is the another example, hollywood is keep making trash movies because with a title for example/no offence Superman a billions will go to the theater excepting a good movie even though the previews instalments sucked big time...then hollywood get the lot of money and it starts all over again, endless loop, and ofcourse with avoiding the critics because what they have done eariler worked

but a real life example for me: Prometheus (im a big fan of Scott and everything about him)....but the movie sucks, still it bought a lot of money to hollywood, enough for a sequel and that says something....though almost all the fans hated it

now...the Pro Evolution Soccer saga is the same, every year... since influenced by the money, since it became a top competitor of Fifa ...sucks :( and its not gonna change im afraid....just wish for the days when the articles said Pro Evo 5 is a really good game but not for the mainstream public, etc,etc like Fifa wich is better in this, in that etcetc...

yeah...at least everyone got a good game...now there is out there two equal shity game

:(

A great example - The Dark Knight Rises. It was an utter piece of shit movie that tarnished the Batman series. It's just my opinion.

If you are having trouble with this in the game isnt there a player with higher defence stats that will not run off and then you can get them to run manually either with a 1 - 2 or using the off ball runs command?

Some players do this and it should be based on their stats no everyone. A manager should also be able to influence the players behaviour (Why is there a manager in the first place?). I fully understand how pes stats work and that is a terrible way to implement it.



If Benzema is dropping deep then cant you move his player marker higher up to stop this? I am pretty sure it will work.
Also with the DMF do the same, either move the CBs back or move him forward or do both, I think it will stop the problem(worked for me in 2012).

That is a hack and not a natuaral fix cos he auto matically stops being in the areas you want him in and now would verture more into offside position and fail. Basically its a hack not worth considering in a "sim" game.

You need to used the player switching to select that CB and move him manually, pressure the winger with the secondary pressure button.

That is another hack. With Konami's terrible player switching and un-intuitive right stick switching your run the risk of pulling me out of position. Player switch also allow that cpu phantom through ball that no one tries to intercept.

I know the game isn't perfect but a lot of it can be worked around. It would be nice to have more managerial options but it doesn't ruin the game not having them.

We need managerial options if we want a truly sim experience not a gamers fix that requires finger dexterity and not brains.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

I've already chosen to skip PES 2013. Player ID and the other improvements are too minor for me to drop yet another $60.

Back in the day all of my friends played PES; All I had to do was walk down the street and I'd be guaranteed a couple great games. Now that they've all fled to FIFA, my only choice is to play online or ML. Given that PES online is a crock of buttery brown shite, I have spent 99% of my PES time for the last 4 years playing ML exclusively. ML had many problems as it was, but instead of fixing the existing problems, they pile on more rubbish to the heap.

The PES series needs to be the subject of a cautionary post-mortem, instructing future developers how not to destroy their own franchise. I will sit back this year and watch. If PES 2014 is not the second coming of raptor jesus, I won't have the patience to 'wait for next year' again.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

Every fix ern dog has mentioned you label a hack. Would you rather spit out a formation and the players do exactly everything to script? There are managers gameplans and players that don't always respond as they should you see it week in and out. They don't respond to instructions which is due their ability and concentration

With the on the fly controls you can infact stop your SBs overlapping and revert to another formation with the touch of a button.

Unintuitive player switching?! Total bollocks! I hardly ever have issues with player switching and I promise you I play a shiteload of PES. maybe layoff the R1+x and try and use some of that intuition to pre empt the CPUs attacking pattern rather than blame the game for your inadequacies.

PES strategically is far ahead of the competitor and has depth that I don't think players have been able to comprehend.


As for the folks thinking about not buying the game its konamis own fault for the boot thing cos its seemed to have turned a few which is a pity. I have been playing a bunch of 5 minute games every night to get a fix of The greatest PES that has been made and that's only the demo.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

OK - I'll be the better man here and apologise for name calling. But I don't appreciate avok23 jumping in with "ignore him" comments when all Matty and I had was a difference of opinion. No arguments were there? It's not the first time avok23 has jumped in to knock down one of my comments without me talking to him directly.

Now, I'll go back and respond to Matty's response in my next post.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

I need to be up in 6 hours, but I'm pouring out a large Jim Beam for my fallen Japanese comrades. Given the new game a lot of thought and even though I like the gameplay a lot, it's not looking good for the only mode I play. Don't want to try the other game. I'm not sure I could live with myself playing a game I hear my deplorable teenage neighbour play day, every month, every year to the grunts of pubescent devilment. I share the thoughts of sincover regarding ML and can't see myself being swayed from this initial feeling of disappointment.

Some pet heads might do it.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

where is your team shape? you think football is all about where you place your 11 dots on the pitch? that is 20% of the battle... is rest is about player instructons within that system.

just imagine having FM like player and team intstructions in PES... then watching the AI vs AI play out those instructions in a barca vs Real match.... how good would that look? to see iniesta and xavi moving into triangles constantly, to see messi roaming about on his own in the middle just waiting around... to see pedro constantly looking for the inside pass.... for benzema to be on the shoulder when alonso has the ball waiting for a long ball.... now let a human control of the teams, AI vs player.... thats how fliud everything should be.. and its all down to tactics

You obviously didn't read, or perhaps fully understand everything I said. What I said was that player stats + formation + team tactics settings should all work in harmony to give you various permutations and outcomes. You simplified that down to me wanting dots on the pitch????

The highlighted parts in the 2nd paragraphs are the main thing I have a problem with. You're talking about AI vs AI whereas most people play the game Human vs Human or Human vs AI.

Like you said, that would look good, BUT I'm not buying PES to watch the AI play.

Konami made a point of the Barca triangles when they showed off the dynamic 1-2 feature. So they're trying to build the team AI then give us options like that plus off the ball control as extra tools in the kitbox.

If you don't understand my other point - I'll write it again without resorting to pig pictures - I didn't say the tactics are totally overwritten by controlling the players. But unless you're watching the AI vs AI, there are times during a game when your controller input is obviously overriding specific player instructions at that point in time. Pretty simple concept I thought.

I don't really have a problem with some of your ideas - but I do bite back because whenever someone tries having a sensible debate you keep shutting them down as stupid or not knowing football. :TTTH:
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

Marvin from Prorevo already played Master League 2013 and he said that

@kernelPESfan But let's say this: You don't need the shoe feature. But I don't think it will destroy the ML-mode...
I prefer to believe Marvin who showed to be very balanced in his opinions about every pes games till now.
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

Depends on the individual's stance on 'bootgate'. If you like authenticity, i.e. players wearing their correct boots, then this is bad news. If you are a purist and don't agree with stat boosting, more bad news. If you dislike both of these things, then ML could well be destroyed for you.

It's a big enough issue for some people that they can't ignore it. Others don't care so much. Whether it destroys ML or not is down to your personal outlook on football games.

firstly, dont you are put your hand in my face :SMUG: anyway..

stats + formation + team tactics.... soooo, basically... what we have now? which is absolutely no team individuality because all teams play the same ? yeah, sounds great. i dont understand why you wouldnt also like stats + formation + team tactics + player tactics... you know, like real life.

The highlighted parts in the 2nd paragraphs are the main thing I have a problem with. You're talking about AI vs AI whereas most people play the game Human vs Human or Human vs AI.

Like you said, that would look good, BUT I'm not buying PES to watch the AI play.

it was an example. you missed my last sentence. read again.

AI vs AI should be watchable and look like 2 real teams playing. that is the BASIS.

then, when its AI vs Human, it'll be super fluid because of what its based on (TACTICS!)

Konami made a point of the Barca triangles when they showed off the dynamic 1-2 feature. So they're trying to build the team AI then give us options like that plus off the ball control as extra tools in the kitbox.

why cant player tactics and these tools work together :?

I didn't say the tactics are totally overwritten by controlling the players. But unless you're watching the AI vs AI, there are times during a game when your controller input is obviously overriding specific player instructions at that point in time. Pretty simple concept I thought.

yes, i know that. but whats that got to do with anything? whats your point here? we override AI things now when we play, obviously (things like a player with crap vision or bad dribbling will be over ridden if the Human is good at spotting team mates or good at dribbling), but with player instructions we just get more fluid and intuitive team mates and tactics.

I don't really have a problem with some of your ideas - but I do bite back because whenever someone tries having a sensible debate you keep shutting them down as stupid or not knowing football. :TTTH:

I know my tastes. I read every info about this bootgate and i don't think it will annoy me so much, not more than playing in a fake d2 league, with fake teams, fake players (Castolo and co.) and fake regens after only three or four years in a master league.

Gameplay will keep me playing and i will continue enjoying the game. (That is if they don't destroy gameplay with a patch as they did last year :RANT:)
 
Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......

The only issue left to resolve re the boots is whether everyone on the pitch, including your opponents is playing in generic black boots. Not sure why the opposition needs to unlock them also?
