I doubt anyone into basketball, mate, particularly in a football forum.
I be surprised if it's more than 5; my gut feel is just you, me and that other dude.
Just picked up nba 2k19 .My word what a game the presentation and AI ... Konami should be ashamed of themselves
I have to agree with you, The Presentation and AI of PES is super trash compared NBA 2k.
In terms of gameplay on the pitch/court, I'll take PES over NBA 2k anyday.
---------------------
I'm from the Philippines. Everyone knows how to play basketball here. NBA 2k is very popular here.
Football almost doesn't exist here. I never kicked a football my entire life. I mostly play tennis and then basketball.
I mostly played NBA live when I'm in high-school. When the first NBA 2k on Dreamcast came out, I got hooked. I never played Live again. RIP Live.
The thing that made me aware of PES is Now Gamer's top 10 on TV. As far as I can remember, NBA 2k and PES games always the top 2 games in their game rankings.
I tried PES and got hooked immediately. Not sure if it's Pes3 or Pes4 that I started playing Pes.
I played Pes6 untill 2010. Didn't like Pes2008 onwards so I stuck with Pes6.
When I stopped playing Pes since year 2010-2014, I mostly play NBA 2k with my son.
When my love for Pes re-ignited in Pes15, I can't play NBA 2ks anymore.
In NBA 2k games, you can pretty much FORCE the stats of your players. You can pretty much shoot anytime you want. You can pretty much do certain things to make your player average certain stats if you want to.
The game of basketball itself now became boring when teams are more focused on just shooting 3-pointers.
The thing that got me hooked with PES is that you need more CREATIVITY to score a goal(or the opportunity to score). In the past, no goal is the same. Although PES is a lot different now than the PES we've enjoyed in the past, I can still say Pes still have little bit of that element.
But I have to repeat,
PRESENTATION and AI still trash on PES. They definitely need to improve/fix those, and a lot of other things.
I'm not sure how long I'll be able to tolerate the other stupid issues in this game.
