Surely I get your point.
I probably don´t see it as negative as you do.
All I can say is that I only experienced scripting (or had the feeling of it) when I played ML against the Comp. And that mostly in Champions League Plays offs.
Like had a thousand chances but the damn ball just wouldn´t get into the net.
Hit the post, striker missed even he was like 2 meters far from it, CB´s were doing shit etc.
I had the feeling that I´m not supposed to win specific games.
Specially on PES 2012 and PES 2013 I had that feeling.
Can´t say that about PES 2014 yet as I´m in the 2nd season only.
When I play PES 1vs1 with somebody I don´t really feel any kind of scripting like that, just that sometimes players slowly walk to the ball instead of running to it or the keepers make mistakes or any of those bugs come up.
I have to mention that we switch off HEART, as the game gets more fluid on the PS3 by switching it off.
Maybe thats a big factor.
My cousin and me play PES since PES 3 on the PS2 and we kind of have our little war going on since then.
For years our results differ a lot, somehow like you and your friend´s.
1-0, 3-2, 2-5, 3-3, 7-4 etc.
Skillwise I would say we are on the same level. He is more like building up a game, attacking through the middle and often shooting long range, I´m
more the counter-attack-over-the-wings guy.
But coming back to the results, I always liked that because before you never knew what could happen and that made these games being exciting.
Of course there were issues we noticed like, the keeper didn´t react, or he ran out of the goal even you didn´t press the triangle button.
Or my defender had the ball on his foot but didn´t react and let it pass to the opponent and crap like that.
But that didn´t happen too often and didn´t kill the fun we had.
However, I understand everyone that is not satisfied with the game.
It´s fun playing it with somebody though (1vs1, 2vs2).
I also took a break as I´m waiting for the patch.
November, huh?
I bet it´s gonna be the 30th
