Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......
FIFA 12 is a bloody joke. Even animations quality degraded if you compare it with FIFA 10 on consoles! The animations are less fluid imo and became "robotic." No more organic feeling to them.
That's the thing I cannot understand. FIFA 12 is bloody mess in every area. The only thing which saved it from being massive failure is online.
Even on full manual it's easy game when you get into vibe and know what you're doing. Plus add skills to the mix which are far too easy to pull off and yup, FIFA Street but with 11 players is made

.
Don't get me wrong, the only FIFA I enjoyed so far was FIFA 10 and World Cup 2010 on consoles, FIFA 11 on PC (due to it being polished version of 10 from consoles).
If FIFA 13 is continuation from 12 I stay away from that game. Simple.
Btw anyone remembers the days when PES was heralded as the game which has got better animations than FIFA (or on par with)? I do. Back in PS2 days.
Also when I play older titles I know how much of KONAMI stuff FIFA stole. Invented them? ROFL. Get real. Flicks, flick volleys, walk-jog on analogue stick, shielding, possession/attack/perfect defense, player awareness, nets! Ball physics, etc.
All that stuff was in OLD PES games. Yes, 360 dribbling and player collision system are nice added stuff, but I don't miss that (for uber geeks, PES6 is the game with full Dualshock 2 functionality support which means full analogue movement works and buttons work as such. In 2006... That's quite an achievement. That also does mean that the game offered not 8 directions of movement, but 32 (yep read about d-pad construction on Sony website, that's quite clever invention and patented

:o).
If PES 2013 relieves the fun, brings back some of old stuff, mixes it up with full HD graphics, chants, better animation linking, better physics/positional play, clever refs... Than FIFA has a fierce rival this year. Even without super duper high end graphics/animations... What KONAMI said before, what happens on pitch matters (and yup I do play PES6 regularly from the day of release till now, still finding stuff that makes me jump out of chair

).
Now back on topic. No more FIFA talk here
