Just had another go with the new patch. Game feels a fair bit better but still is right for me. It still feels so clunky and clumsy. Player switching is horrible and player awareness is still poor. Shooting has gone from too soft to well overpowered.
Tried the 'other' game on PC too. It's amazing how polished and complete it feels. The presentation and atmosphere is amazing. The gameplay is still boring though.
Looks like a few more months without a football game for me
Maybe its me, and the games i watch ( I am Portuguese ) but real football is clunky and clumsy. ( i dont watch barcelona play only )
Player switching is something special ... try to look at it as " not the player nearer to the ball but as the teammate who is not marking another player ". If you look at it that way, you will understand better and also not allow cpu players to become free of marking.
Player awareness is fine, as long as you use the right stick on some cases. Also, player awereness seems to be a issue with real football, i wish my favorite Portuguese club ( FC Porto ) fixed player awareness and heart this whole year!
I guess people will be fine with shooting when ball speed is showed. Player can actually shoot at 100 plus Km/h
The problem with PES is that you have to work really hard and know how to play really well to make a completly fluid play or goal ( but they surelly are more than possible ).
The problem with the "other game" is that fluid play or goal is, well, ALWAYS! becoming unrealistic and boring.
I understand your problems, but try to play diferently and it will become another game. This is not a game that "old skool" pes players are "PRO's" right away...
We could be talking about tips and how to do certain things and how to play, but if you are just saying : "PES Is SHIT", moaning, or things like "I dont settle for mediocracy", really ... trying to make youself superior on a PES forum... you should set your life goals a little higher.
PES is not perfect, it has alot of bugs, but "the other game" and "older pes" dont even come close to the "evolution" of this year.
