Great stuff again Miguel. I don't have much a clue about basket ball but i do remember how popular those NBA 2K games where on modding boards, What i also remember was how god damn immersive it looked both animation wise and the broadcast feel.
How is it possible that sensei Kazuki Ito would not steal the spotlight?
In any different case the match used to become a Rodeo, where mr. Kazuki Ito used to get all the lights, and most time the game was interrupted by elimination, cause someone's team was disqualified due to 5 red cards!!!
Yeah PES 5 was the un-apologetic, experimental simulation attempt by Konami. They understood at the time of release that it was going to be polarizing, but it was going to be authentic. I think PES 6 the result of feedback that the game was too frustrating and less accessible for casual players and thus they toned it down.
That's the beauty of having so many classic games to choose from. You don't have to "commit" to one for a whole year until the new one comes out to "improve" a couple of trivial things. You can take these games as they are, that they all have pro's & cons and that none of them are perfect but they're really, really great in small doses and you get some healthy quality time with each title before the relationship becomes strained and you see the flaws. Kind of like women...
At the risk of looking foolish, can you explain what is mean't by the "long press 'man over' pass"? I feel a bit dumb but i don't think i've heard this term before, is it not the lofted throughball?
then which game would u prefer from that era?
I think he means , when you hold the pass button pressed for more time than a single tap and the ball goes to a player further than you aim.
That’s something the OP knows what he meant.
I definately will, i'm working my way through them. After my CL i'll do WC 2006 on PES 6 then i'll move onto the other ones. I've got them all installed on my PC haha.
You know dude , PES3 except for its movement animations, which are limited cause of 2003’s technology limits, to tiny motion clips, has a very unique technology. It is like the urban legend about the iPhone (that it was alien technology discovered in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico)
Interesting take. I don't feel too guilty about it as long driven passes to further away players or out wide are a part of real football anyway and i appreciate the freedom to be able to do that. I play on the highest difficulty i can anyway so even if my winger was unmarked and available on the flank and i get to him, he's likely to be pressed as soon as the defense realizes where the pass is going.
I'm really looking forward to playing more of PES 3/WE7, You guys do a great job selling it that's for sure. Iv'e played small bits of it over the last couple of weeks and it's interesting, On the pitch - it doesn't even feel like a primitive, predecessor; It just feels like a totally different project. The fundamentals of PES are all there but the weight and responsiveness of the players and of course the ball physics, It's a totally different experience and you can't play this game the same way you play PES 5 or 6.You know dude , PES3 except for its movement animations, which are limited cause of 2003’s technology limits, to tiny motion clips, has a very unique technology.

I have the same theory about PES3, it was an alien artifact discovered by KONAMI, that’s why after on 4-5-6 they tried to copy it, with similar but not equal success!!!!
I am kidding obviously, but it has a unique physics system that they could not reproduce again 100%. In a hyperbole I could say that that ball physics go as PES3>We9LE=PES 2019, or at least PES3=we9le=PES2019.
I posted again, that back in 2004 if you read old forums, the majority PC players used to complain,about its slowdowns, cause despite it was a bad ps2 port for PC, it overconsumed the CPU and GPU sources, having god-tier technology requirements for that epoch.
Even today in my 2014 laptop , it is the only old PES, that in some cases it drops FPS by 50%, proving how demanding its engine is.
Thankyou Miguel. Porto have been struggling since their perfect start against favorites Inter on MD1 but their slowly getting there. Even though this is post Mourinho exodus, they still have a fun squad of memorable players and the reminder of the curse of Brazilian & Argentine players not fulfilling their full potential is captured in a time capsule in this game, with Diego & Lucho Gonzalez present in the teams and a pre Lyon Lisandro Lopez. I've never heard the dreadlock story, I do remember him having braids and in this patch he's depicted with a shaved head, would that have been accurate - Was that his response to his managers angenda on the dreads?@MafiaMurderBag: Another great episode of yours. My FC Porto still has good chances to go through! I remember we played with a 3-3-4 formation in that season, though mostly on domestic matches, with Bosingwa - who back then was just a winger, recently adapted to the RB position - as a...centreback! Our manager was Co Adriaanse, a guy who expelled McCarthy from one of the team's training sessions because he appeared on the pitch with dreadlocks
About the NBA2K series, I don't think the common PES/FIFA fan is aware of how incredibly subpar both football games have been so far when compared with NBA2K, particularly that game's versions of the early 10s decade. It's on a league of its own. One example of this: I've been able to play full games of 48 minutes each (the whole length of a real-life NBA matchup) as early as in NBA2K10/11, having not only a realistic gameplay but realistic team/player stats as well; while on PES and FIFA, ten years later and we're still clinging to the typical 10/15 min. match length - so we haven't evolved at all since the ISS days. We haven't even pushed this boundary of innovation onto, say, the 30 min. match length, let alone a full 90 min match.
What, no WE9:LE!?

And yes we really are spoiled for choice and being contempt is a wonderful feeling.

It's funny how far players personal appearances have come since then, if Benny's dreads where about as wild as it got, how would he have coped with the Instagram players of today more concerned about their fashion and hair dye then their duties to their clubs? I remember when Pogba returned to Man Utd, he even got an announcement trailer with the budget and production quality of a Marvel Superhero movie!
Love the immersive look of those NBA2K games, This isn't retro it's 2K19 but i was scrolling through twitter and if it wasn't for the HUD and player icons, i would've thought it was footage from a real fixture.
Well i think the reason why we don't have 90 minute matches on Football games is because their not designed to condense the ebb & flow of a match into 90 mins, it's designed to be a compromise for 10-12 minute matches. I've tried playing matches with the highest match time the games allow and they usually just end up being high-scoring affairs as the games don't replicate the way players slow down and tire realistically. Very few football matches are end to end for 90 minutes and devs just don't want to convey that in the average 12 minute match.
The only way you can kind get the slower, plodding feel of a football match on the longest match time currently in my opinion, is playing on full manual, with another human, as the AI won't be manual and will always have the unrealistic edge over you in this environment.
But like most of us i imagine i don't have any friends that give a shit about realistic football so i've got more chance of having a threesome with 2 other hot J-Pop singers than experiencing the pleasure of manual football with another human being with my own eyes in this lifetime.

Do you ignore the all-mighty Confederations Cup?
And we thought that an odd number calendar year means no big international football tournament ?
Wrong, the UEFA Nations League Finals are coming up next month. The Dinner can hardly contain his excitement.
And we have the Women's World Cup and Copa America too.
