I prefere to play on PC with PES 2021 or FL2026 only with modded gameplays in the exe directly by me.... I’ve never worn nostalgia glass for previous titles once new title was released; each year I played and learned to play only on the new game.. I used this method since 30 years I play with konami's soccer games.... Now that I’ve got used to the controls and gameplay of PES 2021, I just can’t enjoy the old games any more; Once each time I try to play with one game of PS2 era I don't finish the first half time of the match for the limits of the game, commands and movements of the engine... very boring.... while at the time I loved them so much... but also on PES 2021 I play only some times because get more enjoyment out of trying to tweak the gameplay and seeing the results in-game (so that’s when I play... when I’m testing them 😜 ) than actually playing the game and getting immersed in it for even more than half an hour… whereas I can spend hours testing new gameplay tweaks just to get a feel for how they work and the feeling I can appreciate with gamepad in my hands...
To be honest, video games in general as a form of entertainment have bored me for some time now (since PES2017 time; perhaps because of my age and the importance I now place on other aspects of life), and I hardly ever finish a 10-minute game… These days, apart from the mood-setting aspect, video games no longer entertain me… only on the odd evening when I’m not sure how to pass 10 minutes and want to relax do I play a friendly match against the CPU… although, to be honest, I’ve always done that, ever since the days of PES6… I’ve never actually played through entire Master League seasons from start to finish.
Mind you, back then even games with just 10-minute exhibition matches kept me more entertained, but even then I spent a lot of time on the more famous forums for pes pc (since 2002 – mostly teaching people how to patch the PC versions rather than anything else
Just so you know, if you’ve had the chance to enjoy the Korean version of WE9LE,
it was my fault... 👈😜 (
the last link still online as evidence)
– back when I shared the PC version with english patch outside Korea market on all international forums where people still played PES5, nobody in the west world of PES even realised it existed in Korea a version of PES5 with a new gameplay with a better felling through gamepad
Note: I’ve always played exclusively on PC, even when the first games from Japan came out (pirated copies bought on the beach from illegal Moroccan vendors) using emulators that were already quite advanced back in the PS1 era. I never had a console to play wiinning eleven or to other videogames
