@ krist: have you heard anything new from Garrincha? Havent seen him on this topic for a while... he took the job of mapping the Other A's teams...
And have you tried my faceserver? Anything wrong yet?
@ all: Dont know why i'm writing these following words...might just be the feeling of someone who has been totally disappointed by KONAMI in recent years... PES 5, afterall, is the best (or should I say the furthest) they 've ever got to replicating a football environment. Sure PES 2010 might have a more glamorous look; PES 6 might have provided us a much easier game to play and PES 2011 might seem to have reached a new "system of freedom" - quoted those fancy KONAMI officials... PES 5 still presents the most realistic experience of the soccer world. Goalkeepers are more formidable, players' physiques feel real enough and all of those AI -controlled NPC are tactically aware of their duties: they charges forward like crazy gazelles when going behind and takes great care of the defensive play...
Having said that, i still believe there should be things done about the OF (one that kristian here produced). PES 's series have long been criticized and heavily outdone by the its arch rival - the FIFA series - for being a too pacey, short pass favored game. It's, though hurting, obvious that PES players are too strong and enduring compared to their real life peers. So i suggest we change those things by using the wonderful tools we 've already been blessed by KONAMI
Follow these changes (the tool i'm using is the PES FAN Editor 5):
Body Balance +10
Fitness -15
Top Speed -20
Acceleration -20
Agility -20
D. Speed -15
S. P. Speed -20
L. P. Speed -20
Shot Accuracy -20
Shot Power +15
Technique -20
Mentality -20
The results:
- the pace definitely slows down, you wont see players galloping up and down the pitch in a flash
- the passing game is now a more long-ball oriented, though this is not to say short balls are going to be depreciated.
- players get more physical hence there would not be so many lame 'dive' due to a lack of Body balance
- goalkeepers react more slowly than they used to, though it doesnt mean you will get a 1-shot-1-goal chance every time you hold the shooting button. This , i think, makes them more human.
- the stamina is drained rapidly, making substitution a must. Also, they are more prone to injuries
'Coz you can still keep the old OF, but if you really want to experience sth new and real, give it a try
