hi, I am a true fan of pes all my life, I can simply die for this game to survive, but coming from pes3,to 2018 is a long way coming, and after seeing so many footage of#pes2018, (I recently range out of HDD space just to download all the videos out there) and after I have analysed all, I have seen massive improvements and some few niggles and some that is yet to be looked at since 2014..... just recently,I saw a video of WE9LE Liverpool vs Man utd, in that video, I saw how beautiful PES was back then, the AI, the refs, positioning, defense/attack realism, the pass assistance level, all comes together to make a beautiful game back then, now If we can make the dev team see these type of vids, to compare what they're doing with what they did to see if they're going the right way they'll surely push for that level of realistic game again, and here are the niggles
1: Player ID is lost in PK shootout, in Pes13, each PK taker has different style of taking PK, and after they score or Miss, we see their emotions in a cutscene but since 2014, it has been lost, even to the point of the PK winning celebration is very bad, in older versions, the last PK taker scores to win the shootout or Gk save to win is clearly seen in the celebration cutscene, eg if I score my winning PK with Jordi alba, in previous versions, you clearly see Jordi Alba running towards his team members to celebrate, but since 2014, you see ter stegen instead of Jordi alba running towards his teammates to celebrate. Celebration cutscene in general needs overhauling.... It's just unrealistic .... That needs to change.. I suggest a FIFA 16 style of PK celebration where we can control our player to anywhere in the pitch
2: positioning
@Matt10 has spoken on this before but I refused to believe but after rigorous analysis, it became clear, i know how hard it is for the development team to get things up and running, but the fans are always here to help... the player positioning when defending needs attention, only 7 players fall back to defend, the 3 attacking players stay in the opponent's half and don't fall back, (I confirmed this after watching two vids on superstar AI). This leaves too much space in midfield, hence the midfield battle is lost, and leaves too much room for attacking team to score easily cos they got enough space, and it translates to counter attacking, since three players don't fall back, at least 7 players from the attacking team are in opponents half, there's a hole in the middle, and the defending team just stole the ball, no midfield battle, a straight pass to a winger and we are left with a 50-50 3v3 situation, the defending turned attacking team now can easily score a goal, i know playing a 0-0 draw all the time is frausting but its part of the realism,in football or in older versions say from pes3to5, these situations are rare, now matt10 attached vids of older PES versions on positioning and its clear, the only time positioning in PES 2018 is correct is during coner kicks or free kicks, then you see the defending team positioning properly.. this was the issue with pes2016. As Matt10 said,the attacking players needs to drop more deeper in their own half to close spaces not closed by the rest, that will allow for more tightness in defense and rectify the counter attacking issue above.. the dev team can just have a look at it for consideration......
3: fouls and reffs needs attention, I know its been looked at so that's a good sign, I watched a video 21 minutes long, Dortmund vs atletico Madrid, the ref gives card to the Dortmund player for any reckless challenge but refuses to give atletco player cards for trying tokill players (i beleive that to be a bug or something ) in my mind, I would have given the atletico guy 5 red cards for what he wasdoing, and it seemed the guy noticed the ref'snonchalance towards his aggression, he took advantage of the ref and started spamming slide tackles so much that the injured three Dortmund players which one was unable to continue / (reus)... so pls take your time to study what this feedback is all about.. I believe together, we canmake a great game. thanks and the GK, they need to rush out always to make 1v1 saves like 2013 did, AI still needs to be tougher though, so let's all join hands together to message @officialpes, you can message Adam bhatti or asim tanvir but be careful the kind of message you send for its their personal account no related to work, as for the aforementioned video just go to YouTube and search for WE9LE Gameplay | Liverpool vs Manchester United 2016/2017 Season Patch.... thanks and you can follow me on twitter @chrisdanielsnz2 I hope the real PES fans take action
