Have been playing the demo with extended time patch loads recently and have got to say that whilst the game is much more crisp and the gameplay nuances are much greater, the latest supposedly Next Gen ProEv still carries the same old frustrating flaws.
In addition to the persisting inability to reliably play a nice long high pass to your players and a reliable means of having them control the thing and knock it on (this is a gameplay area where next gen FIFA is 100% solid1); and the fact that the (adaptive) AI still results in pure n simple 'cheating' by scripting your passes astray, running your players out of position etc, it seems to me that despite all the upgrades that PES2008 has undertaken, that the same old boring godawful dribble-dribble-pass-dribble-cut-back-GOAL scoring method which has greatly ruined this game as a 2 player contest since PES4......IS STILL IN THE FRIGGING GAME!!!
Now...cos I find that way of playing to be quite lame and unrewarding.....I never really try for it (unless the opportunity just happens to occur) and therefore when I do try, I aint really got the expert ability in pulling of a lame cut-back goal.....BUT I HAVE NONTHELESS SCORED A FEW in this demo......and dribbling and passing in and around the box does seem VERY easy...
So....can any cut-back-Queens confirm whether there all time favourite method of winning games is just as easy in PES2008 as it has been in PES4, PES6.....and even PES5?
