As I've said before Jimmy, I'm glad you dont have a problem with the shooting, I really am. What I have an issue with is how you and others are far too quick to blame player error for what I and many others see as an obvious coding bug. That's where you come across as arrogant. You say you dont have a problem but you allude to the fact that sometimes your shots dont go where you want them to and put this down to your player being under pressure. That to my mind is you making excuses for the game. You are filling in the blanks to make the dodgy code seem acceptable to you. In short, you are fooling yourself and therefore are blind to the flaw in the shooting system. Professional players in real life can still place the ball when under pressure otherwise they would never progress past school level football, so your "realism" argument is nonsense.
That aside, this is a GAME. Most games put the player into high pressure situations but they dont randomly reverse the controls to simulate that situation do they? They do what you tell them to do. Of course I want simulation in a football game but causing a shot to go left when I have selected for it to go right even 20% or 30% of the time is just stupid. All it would take is a little more effort from Konami to show those shots going in the direction you pressed but wide or high or both. That would fix it. But no, even goals I score dont feel like MY goals because they're going in a direction I simply did not select.
I'm a decent PES player too Jimmy, that's why someone like you trying to tell me I cant understand a simple shooting mechanic or that I'm somehow "not doing it right" is so ridiculous to me. The flaw is so obvious to me, and others who have backed it up both on this forum and in real life, that what I have said about you in this post and in the past is the only logical conclusion I can reach. You simply dont see it.
As for your edit, It's true I haven't posted on here much since I joined but to be honest I've never been so annoyed with a version of PES before. I felt compelled to come back here and have my say. You suspect me of being a "troll" but would a "troll" join in 2006 then say next to nothing for YEARS before finally coming online just to disagree with YOU Jimmy? Is that your ego again? Oh wait, you dont have an ego do you? Even though you took the time to tell me all about how you play in a good league and how you "hammer it" and "prove your worth game in game out".
You ask me to put yourself in your shoes, I have tried that and the only conclusion I can reach is that you simply dont notice the flaw or are making excuses for it. Obviously when you put yourself in my shoes you think I'm a crap player who just doesn't understand the shooting mechanic the same way you do.
If you consider I'm pretty much the same age as you and have been playing computer games most of my life, what do YOU think is the more likely scenario?
I have to relax some days because so many stupid things are in this game!
