They are still moving, although their stance is kind of awkward: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW0cX5_heUg
The majority of them for sure are not tested as much as they should be. That's a fact.
Of course PES is tested. Think about it: Do you think the Konami devs could/would release PES year after year without, for example, not having tested the GK AI to see how HORRIBLE it is? Of course they test the GK AI every year, they just never bloody fix it.
Language mixup bro, I was agreeing with you. Well, I suppose I was arguing that Konami does in fact test, yes, they just don't fix as much as they should. The GK AI has been broken for years, for example.Tested yes.
But not as much as they should be.
Please read properly
Overpowered is only half the issue. That shot is pretty much the only shot the CPU ever tries. The CPU never shoots high, never aims for the upper corners of the goal. CPU shots rarely travel more than a foot or two off the ground. It is not an exaggeration to say 90% of the goals the CPU has scored in all my games is from that curl shot along the ground into the far corner.
I would say there are two distinctly separate AI issues with PES 2015. The attacking/defending AI has been decent enough the past few years. But it seems the Konami devs broke it this year during the process of adding the new CPU simulation pass coding. There's no longer any variety to the attack AI or to goals; in-game defensive settings that worked well in other versions are now broken and don't work; etc. But those are brand new issues this year, so I have faith the devs can maybe fix and repair this for 2016. Whereas the GK AI has been an issue with PES since forever. That suggests the devs are simply unable to do any better.
I didn't post that to argue good or bad, just to prove what I was saying earlier. But yes actually, elements are entirely broken. The tactics sliders work perfectly last year, this year the compactness slider doesn't work at all. And I just posted an hour long test that I ran showing how the CPU shot coding is broken this year, it worked fine as well in 2014. I like PES 2015 too, but elements are definitely broken no question. Big difference between a fun simple back-to-basics game, versus gameplay elements that used to work but are now broken and need to be patched for 2016.
I (mostly) have faith the devs will improve this aspect for 2016. I was really excited when I first played 2015; the new CPU simulation pass coding was a revelation, first time ever in a football game the CPU would build up play in a slow methodical realistic manner. But you're right, after a number of games it becomes clear it's all meaningless, the scripted passing that goes on bears no relationship to team tactics or player skills. I will give the devs the benefit of the doubt here and believe this is a new gameplay feature that will only get better as they work on it.
Defensive compactness works perfectly in PES 2014 and works even better in FIFA. How is it that suddenly in "next-gen" PES 2015, there "aren't enough animations to allow it"? You're going to have to explain that one a bit more.
This is very bad news if true. This sounds like the same defensive positioning issue 2015 has: the RB and LB stay too far out on the flanks, a battalion of tanks could drive through the holes it creates in the backline. I fixed this issue somewhat (band-aid solution) by assigning the RB and LB to man mark the CPU FWs, this generally draws them back into the middle when the CPU is attacking.
It is entirely possible this issue with the defense is not an glitch at all, but is intentionally programmed into the game in order to create a more wide open football experience. Wide open football = more goals = more excitement = more young people who will give the game a try.
