Re: PES 2014 Discussion Thread (NO PIRACY TALK, YOU WILL GET BANNED!)
Cor just had the PES game of my LIFE.
Copa Libertadores, I'm in 3rd, a point off the leaders with two games to play. We're at home to Nacional, our domestic rivals who have the mercurial Recoba in their side. (He's the new D'Alessandro for MLO gents)
We score almost straight from kick-off, a first time volley from a midfielder arriving late in the box. From then on we can't get anywhere near the ball. Nacional are pummelling us, overlapping with their FBs and getting in behind our defensive line. They have one chalked offside, and Abreau hits the stantion behind the goal with a driven shot.
As we hold out, tackles are flying in everywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if they amp up the aggression for Derby matches as some of the tackles were filthy. Grossmüller (who set-up our goal) is having the game of his life, winning every second ball, must be the heart feature in action. Inevitably they equalize with a slick through ball just before the interval.
Re-organised ourselves and came out the 2nd half fighting. Clawed the possession stats back into a respectable range, and carved out a few half chances. Recoba is still running riot in the hole infront of my defence, but the game has swung and we're on top. The game concludes with a lovely little move, a nutmegging through ball outwide to Pachecho, he skips past the full back and drives in a low cross to Zalayeta who clips it first time into the bottom left corner.....where the keeper plucks it out with one-handed save. 1-1.
Loved every minute, saved the highlights that had some nice little bits if anyone wants a look.
Going into the last group game, only a win against the group leaders will secure progress to the next round. Gunna be tense.
From a pure footballing perspective, you can do things on this little baby that simply wasn't possible on any other PES.
I don't understand man. It's like somebody patched the game overnight, suddenly I can make those lovely R2 touches around players. Timing. All about timing.
Manual is a bloody dream on this as well. Advanced Through Balls especially open up all manner of avenues previously inaccessible.
Danny mate I saw the comments lastnight and told myself I was happy with the critics. Even this afternoon n my way home a fellow South African PES fan (we are a 1:10000 Pes:FIFA minority) texted me to say that he hated it.
The demo indicated it needs time like PES gone by. PES6 started the pick up and play and I love to see people struggling. Come 3 months down the line we will be singing Konamis praises.
Definitely, but last night and in the demos I couldn't see the potential. It never felt a case of not being able, more that it wasn't possible. Now I can see it's all there and it's magnificent.
