PES 2018 PlayStation & Xbox Discussion Thread

I seriously could careless about menus and shit. What they need is in game presentation, that's how all their focus should be on. It's not like we gonna spend all our time in menus. Mainly they need to focus on having less black screens, would be cool to have the game just flow the whole match without any cuts. It can be easily done. Especially for throw ins. Have a ball boy throw a ball to the player, instead of cutting screen. Fouls, referee, celebrations all are with cutscenes. Let us watch it as if it's live tv, not scripted editing. Nobody likes that shit. Also real coach, bench, warm up players should be a thing already, we are in 2017 and we still don't have those simple things. Announcer for substitutions. I don't think there is any announcer in the game is it? :THINK:.

For years people have been talking about atmosphere and presentation. Yet they never gave much attention. It's not that hard, it really isn't. It won't even take them half a year. Like much less than that, they just have no desire to do so.
 
There are so many little things they could fix presentation-wise. For example I don't understand why player & team names are all IN CAPITALS. Surely it's a really straightforward process to run an update and put everything in Proper Case. If you want stuff in caps for team screens, or in the middle of a match, then just use an upper case function.
 
I would love to play the game this weekend...but seems like Aussie release is the 19th, unless I can find it somewhere already. Quick question though - since I'm on Xbox I believe there are no option files but I'm happy to go through and edit team names based on the real names thread, but will those changes get erased whenever game updates are applied going forward? Or does that only affect option files installed through whatever process that uses. I don't want to spend some time fixing things then have it all undone basically.

Also - it would be good to have the kit formula's somewhere for us Xbox'ers.
Nope,it won't disappear,at least if it's like 17,which it should be.
I think I found some kit tutorial/formula on YouTube last year
 
re Transfers in Master League - how hard would it be to programme that anyone who moved this summer cant move for at least 12 months.
In the pic someone posted Lakaku, Salah and Lacazette have all left clubs they have been at 2 months. Joke

You are right, they are all cutscense. Worst of all is that you HAVE to watch them or skip through them.
I'd prefer a choice there. Remeber from a baseball game that was released in 2005 that you had to options : no replay / sometimes / often.
That would be a great addition to this game, and although i'm not a games programmer it seems to me that kind of thing is not that difficult to implement.
 
Has anyone had a situation where the goalkeeper goes walkabout during the game. It has happened to me a few times now - in both the demo and the full game where the goalkeeper suddenly legs it out the goals and ends up in midfield as the game is going on. I don't know if it is something I have pressed or just a bug.

do you mean something like that?

Has happened to me in 2017 quite a bit, think it's a case of accidentally playing one two with the keeper or pressing something as he kicks to send him out to wander the field.

Hmm - maybe it is something I press then. I use the right stick to move the defensive cursor - I wonder if I have clicked it somehow.
 
I might be trying too hard to see new stuff but it really felt like a cpu player just revenge-tackled me. I won the ball of him with a fair slide tackle, he just scrambled to get up and then instantly threw himself with a slide at the player with the ball, not the same guy who tackled him, but it was a wild tackle with no chance of success. Didn't get a card for it though, the dirty sod.
 
Picture, if you will, a game where my Iceland is 0-1 down against Switzerland in a Euro Cup match where a draw is essential. Far into a frustrating game, I realize that once again I am playing too directly, being promptly shut down on every offensive move. So I slow things down, start passing it around slowly at the back, looking for openings, working it through Switzerland's defensive lines, prodding, prowling, stroking the ball softly, making some sweaty football porn happen with every pass. I get near the box and just as I make the final precision through pass I am simultaneously finishing the perfect build up to a footballing climax and also writing a 10/10 review of Pes 18 in my head. The final pass reaches my player just inside the box but a final sidestep is needed to beat the last man, and as it happens, surely now it's either the bliss of an brilliant equalizer or a miraculous save from the keeper which happens next...

That player I just skimmed trips me up. No where near the ball. My guy trips, falls. No penalty. Ball gets cleared.

can anyone provide a direct link to the latest PESuniverse OF please!? i cant reach their website right now...

PESworld's OF (these few packs that are currently online) is always 2048ish kits, right!? i dont want to waste space/slots!
 
Yeah I haven't played any Aussies yet all South Americans so far, I hope it's region free, I'd like to get into a clan with a few Aussies play 3 v 3

i really hope it is but i highly doubt it is region unlocked for online play. ah well, forced to buy the euro version again with garbage commentaries

that is fantastic!!

We should all record this bull and upload it.. KONAMI need to do something.

Am i right in holding off until a decent OF and patch comes out?

I 90% of the time play ML, so im a bit worried about getting it and being annoyed!
 
Konami: how freaking hard is it to add an option to play actual CL groups without spending 15-20 minutes to set them up manually? You think maybe that the Liverpool fans that finally have some actual CL to watch would maybe want to play that same group in the game? I imagine fans of other teams in CL might feel the same. Just one button when you pick teams: Use CL groups 17/18. There, sorted. Now excuse my while I play Liverpool's first match in the group against Barcelona.

true. And what i don't get is, when it's like that in CL mode, why can't we set up the groups, or have the live draw in master league for CL and EL etc. I mean it would be fun seeing it, and the 4 pots, rather than just the game automatically presenting you with the groups. It's not as fun.
 
yeah it is.. but there is a couple annoying things they should fix... the one thing annoying me about this mode is why do they let you matchup with just one human player playing with 2 com's... when you select 3 v 3 in the options? i'm not sure if people are actually trying to play by themselves on purpose or not.. but if you are that is dumb. Konami should have matchmaking option that says you can't matchup with just 1human... with that said my current team of friends I'm playing with we are not as good at PES yet so playing against the 1 human player and 2 coms is actually easier imo to play against than 3 solid human players. but I am playing co op to play against humans not COMS.... Konami should not allow a 1 human controlled player playing with his myclub team with 2 coms vs 3 human players. that's just dumb and annoying to me

over half our clan matches have been 3 humans on my teams vs 1 human and 2 coms on the other. I seriously can't comprehend that people are actually intend to play co-op mode by themselves with 2 com players on their team. I rather play my cop team vs all com than 1 human with 2 COMS on his team.

the other annoying thing about this mode is I have 4 members in my clan but I'm the only who can start a clan match. they can't and it looks like there is no way for me to give them the access to start match without me if I'm not on. so basically they make a clan and then I go on theirs.. it just seems silly they did it like that. hopefully they correct or adjust a few of these things bc when it's 2 v 2 or 3 v 2 or 3 v 3.. it's pretty epic in this game.
I want to know how to restrict it to just 2v2!!!! I only see 3v3 as an option FFS!

Whilst the lack of pens is worrying, this is a perfect PES anecdote.
 
in the first 5 days of the transfer window in my test ML, liverpool sold Salah, Mane, Firmino, Chamberlain and Henderson. Surely this need patching
