Early PES footy fan
League 2
- 18 June 2020
I altered the stats in PES 5 a bit too much, and also started meddling with a second patched version and got to a point where I no longer had an enjoyable PES 5 to play. Rather than bother reinstalling/undoing all my damage, I stopped playing for the last few weeks, but yesterdayI decided to try PES 3 again. I had previously had problems with the analogue stick direction not relating accurately to what was happening on screen, but I reinstalled it this time and it seems to work properly. That said, there are often occasions when a pass that was meant to be angled goes straight forwards or across the pitch, but mostly the manual passing is working well. It is a very different game to PES 5 though, and it will take me some time to get used to the dribbling and the flow of the game. My first match on 3 star difficulty, as Ireland against Scotland, ended 2-0 to the Scots and it wasn't until the second half that I managed to have a shot! I had more luck after quickly starting a Master League though, winning 3-2 against Fulham. I think I prefer the menu system of PES 3 to that of PES 5. What I really like so far on my return to PES 3 though is the way tackles, feints and similar incidents look; they seem more realistic and attractive to my eyes than in PES 5 (a game which I like very much). Like I say though, getting used to the slightly more crude dribbling in PES 3 will take time.
