few more games played and a few things ive noticed
good points:
- clearances feel nice and heavy, sort of a 'phew' moment when you clear
- shots feel good although there is a tendency to hit the bar :s or just a coincidence
- option to set match time (don't know if this was in pes 14?)
negatives:
- through balls are too easy, but they dont always result in a goal (maybe I'm still getting used to and learning the art of finishing) I think the game compensates for the ease at which strikers find space by making the defenders run back faster i.e. catchup bug, and the striker slowing down like he is almost hesitant which for star players shouldnt be the case and even so not happen each and every time
-commentary has been applied a band aid, i.e. recycled completely and a few sentences and player names added, sometimes its quite obvious it has been recorded years later that the voice changes completely e.g. sometimes when he says Balotelli, completely amateur in my opinion
- lod is so low can barely tell who the players are and this is on 1080p, so bad ive had to turn on player names on cursor position so im sure of who im controlling
- responsiveness is good i guess, less rails i think, but players do feel quite bogged down (cant explain better in words, its a feeling)
- some animations are ridiculously fast, like i tried a really hard through ball and the defender intercepted by backheeling it perfectly to a team mate while running back facing his own goal...without stopping the ball! either his got eyes on his back to see the ball coming at such speed and unbelievable skill/balance to pull off a perfect backheel!
still think there is hope, konami patches rarely fix anything gameplay wise if i remember correctly (pes 13 - long time back now lol) so even if they don't release any, modders have a good base to work from...if the presentation bit was improved, licenses, lod, and maybe even fifa commentary (asking too much i know lol), then I could live with this game
