I know I'm pretty much on my own on this thread now but if I'm honest I don't care. Still reading a lot of negativity on the 2016 thread and, unless the new patch improves the game immensely, I will stick with 2013.
Playing a ML with QPR in the Championship and really struggling at the moment. Playing on Professional and on full manual. It has been hard getting used to full manual but now that I am, this game throws up all kinds of surprises. Each game plays differently. Some teams play long ball, some mix it up a bit, some put so much pressure on the ball carrier and it is great. I've had two games where I have come back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3. Every time I score I celebrate just like the old PES 5 days.
I had my best moment so far. I was playing Huddersfield at home, we were 18th and they were 14th. It was 0-0 and a very cagey game. But then in the 89 min I had a throw in, it went to Hoilett (I think) and I saw Joey Barton in a bit of space so I passed it to him and he took one touch and let rip right into the top corner of the net. That has been my best moment in a PES game against the CPU for a long time. I had to even show my wife the goal. All that just to move up to 14th in the table. I will upload it later.
A lot of people say there is scripting and the CPU scores late goals and whatever, yes they do but I do also and it is all to do with momentum. If I concede a late goal it's because I've panicked and kicked the ball to their player instead of whacking it up field. It is also possible to defend against the CPU when they start trying harder. The amount of times that Dunne has got that last ditch tackle in.
I also don't mind the boot and the equipment thing, I like the fact that I can say to Onouah "well done matey here's a nice pair of boots that may improve your passing".
The only thing I'm not too keen on is the noise from the fans, I wish they would sound a lot louder when I've just scored rather than droning on and on. Other than that I am enjoying this so much!
I feel like posting on the 2016 thread but it will only be negative, so I would much sooner post something positive on this thread even though I am 3 years too late
