im sure konami say repeatedly "new game, revolution, start from scratch", so this is why. no?
The only thing which should be a revolution is the animations, physics and new graphics level, along with presentation.
The rest has been built up to a very high level from PES 2011-13
Core game mechanics (passing, shooting, dribbling 1-2 passing) Tactics, AI, Individuality and stat working, and gameplay balance.
This is the strength of PES 2013. I agree there are issues with the AI cheat as per usual, but again, for me its better balanced compared to the PS2 days which also as per usual had cheating, at times crazy.
pes 5 and 6.. defense ever
I'm sorry thats pure crap, pure bullshit
I went back to that game to try and modify the tactics like i do in 2012/2013 to get CPU teams to play like they do in real life.
they all just do the same the thing. Camp deep in their box, setting a high line or deep line does no nearly make the difference you see in 2013, not even close.
PES6 defensive AI isn't good at all, was better in PES 5 or WE Liveware edition, they just camp ridiculously in box with about 6-7 players, sometimes on their 6 yard line, its so easy to exploit and score in the same way, over again, just passing to a free striker to score from 45 degrees.
I've tested this myself, I remember I think talking to soyo about this and telling a few people I can't do the tactics I do in PES 2012/2013 on PES 6 because the game isn't capable of doing it.
PES5/ WE9 is still the greatest PES game in terms of legacy but PES 2013 has gone beyond it in terms of gameplay despite not being nearly as great.
