Just passing by an old time PES player and infrequent modder. Shooting efficiency for the AI, the odd decisions the AI does for defenders for both teams and the lack of any midfield struggle not to mention hardly any players standing still or walking as you would see in a real game to preserve their stamina. It's not ice hockey. I would have thought twelve years ago when delighting in PES6 (which also had plenty of limitations) that by now with the increase in processing power and graphics engines PES would be getting closer at recreating what is admittedly a complex game with numerous variables. I have not seen that progress.
It's a shame really and with my other family commitments, work and hobbies I cannot see myself ever coming back to PES although having a young nephew I would very much like too. Roped more into Fortnite now when I have any time to sit in front of the PC to play games.
I agree.
Somehow Konami/PES still go through the development of their game as they did 20 years ago.
I understand that they want to keep PES simple, easy to pick up and play and I'm OK with that, but there are some key elements still missing. I tried to play PES again this week, after 2 weeks of total abandonment, and the issue are so in your face, so loud and clear, that I cannot think of a reason why the game has been so stagnant for the last 5 years.
When was the last time they introduced a new type of move (NOT talking about the skill moves with the tricks stick)? Like a new type of shot or pass or feint performed in a certain way by the human (NOT decided randomly by the game)?.
Everything feel so structured and pre-determined that by the time you played 50 games, you've seen all the moves, and been through every possible combination and situation the game has to offer.
That's why, in my opinion, PES always feels great the first 10 games you play when the demo comes out.
