Re: PES 2008 Next Gen - News/Discussions Official Thread
The way that pressing works isn't realistic though, thinking about it. It could use a whole revamp.
The pressure button does two things, chasing and stab-tackling - it should only really do one, shouldn't it? I realise that they've made it harder in recent editions and you're more successful pressing it only when you're in a good position to tackle, but they could force you to use the pad to position yourself and then press a stab-tackle-only button. It can aid lazy players - hold it down and you don't even have to hold down a direction, your player just tracks the guy for you. It shouldn't be that way, you should have to do the movement so that if the guy changes direction, he'll either fool you or you'll be too clever for him - rather than your player knowing instinctively what directions he will be running in. You could use a trigger-button when moving the player to make him run backwards rather than turn around.
To me, that's what next-gen should be about - giving you more control, rather than keeping the same rigid gameplay routines from years ago.
