You never forget the one liners from the classic Pro Evo's. Cheese on toast, yet the game is so complex yet simple underneath!
They're not doing it on purpose though, that's the thing! They're trying to create something that sounds like real commentary, and that makes me crinnnnge. When he says "are you just picking him because he's a defender like you Jim?!" that's not funny, it's just a really bad script.
If they were aiming to give it commentary that sounds like it's straight out of The Office and make us laugh, A) they wouldn't hire professional commentators that cost an arm and a leg, and B) they'd be saying much more ridiculous things.
In my opinion, if they want to compete for a bigger share of the market, they have to take this stuff seriously and create a professional package. As long as it doesn't affect the gameplay of course...
But that's my opinion. It's like the guys who want the ML default team with Minanda and Castolo and that lot. That totally spoils the experience for me.
Whereas how long does it take to get fed up of FIFA's serious tone? Not long.
Totally disagree, that's just your opinion. Not the thread for comparisons, but it's a really professional commentary package that's amongst the best in sports games.
A game should be just that. A game.
Again, totally disagree - if that was the case we'd all be playing Mario Strikers Charged on the Wii. If PES as a package was made to look and sound as professional as possible, you and I would still buy it for the gameplay, but more people would consider taking the game more seriously, and it could then make more money, and then - this is the dream, for me - they'd be able to work on things like the commentary, the career modes AND the gameplay without having to sacrifice something because of their budget.
(Incidentally, talking about favourite cheesy lines of commentary... My favourite cheesy line ever was from a FIFA - I forget who said it, might have been John Motson, or Mark Lawrenson before he briefly switched sides - but... "That was like a PIN to a MAGNET!" So bad. Also, the classic "he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo". Back in the days when professional presentation really didn't matter and it
was all about cheese...)
personal opinion but it would be nice if they knocked a few OVR points off him. if they cant randomise the attributes i'd hope they could do a global -10 o something. a 1 year old rated at 77 is too high!
Christ, I didn't even know youth teams signed them up that young!
