Scripted usually refers to the fact that, for example - in PES, if I press this way and press pass, the CPU will decide not to give it enough power so that it's just about interceptable by the CPU player. Or overhit the pass just enough so that it goes out of play (or straight to the opposition). This can happen in PES. (Yes I realise that's the stats coming into play and that's how you like the game.)
Well, two interesting points from that really. I'll try to explain it for you as simply as I can.
Yes but that part of the term scripted - i.e. "if I point north on the stick my player will move north", or in real-world terms "if I throw this apple into the air it will come back down again" - is not what anybody is ever referring to when they say "scripted", as much as that is correct.
I don't know anything about this but surely it can't be four directions? That would just be straight up/down/left/right? Do you mean 8/16 directions?
Are you sure you aren't playing PES 2009 on your Nintendo?
Exactly. But in PES it is decided for you whether that execution will be 100% correct or not, rather than the player himself actually getting the execution wrong (and the player himself is being controlled by me, so it should be me, with the pad in my hand, getting the execution wrong - IN MY OPINION!).
I've just tried manual passing in PES 2009 really quickly and it's at least 8 direction. I wasn't hitting perfectly straight passes up/down/left/right. I don't think you're quite understanding what 4 direction/8 direction means.
It's very difficult - if not impossible - to have manual controls and individuality unfortunately (at least when it comes to the basics i.e. passing). If you want total control of the passing then the stats mean nothing. If you want the stats to be the deciding factor then you can aim a pass perfectly but if your player doesn't have the "vision" then it will go to an opposition player. The latter problem annoys me more than the former problem, so that determines what game I play.
I can't comment because I didn't play the games to death - I have PES 2009 but the feeling of random passes going off-course for seemingly no reason did annoy me, but what annoyed me more was being able to score belters from all over the park because of the goalkeepers (either that or shooting was a bit TOO accurate, which may be the case).
I can't comment with absolute authority because in recent years I've not played PES as much as I did once upon a time, but perhaps it's simply because more "forced errors" have been put into the game now, to stop people holding onto the ball for 90 minutes?
) still prefer pes over fifa. this is the reason why many people (including me
e.g. if a cross comes to long and you have to rush for it and you try to shoot on the long corner of the goal. now when you play with 100% manual in fifa, the shot goes to this corner exactly where you want it though it is physically impossible. in pes the ball goes faar beneath the SHORT corner, doesn't matter how much shot accuracy the player has (you can see the players foot aiming for the desired direction)
this is one of the main points why pes !always was closer to the real thing, even in 2009...
That would be great for Bal/BaP, where you are controlling yourself in the game (but even that is not v,realistic because in BaL/BaP you're a beginner novice). But when playing with Spain, for instance, it's not realistic to be delivering passes when controlling C. Ronaldo with the same accuracy they would be delivered using I. Casillas, just because it's the same player on the controller.
