Thanks for all the comments last week, some decent points raised amongst the copied and down right ridiculous. I must say my favourite last week was Dave O’s point about playing it on a dance mat…. Very funny.
Personally I’m finding life without (real) football boring, nothing to watch and no banter, I can’t wait for the new season to start. This is exaggerated as PES2010 is coming to the end of its time this year for me, a point developed below. Also, PES 2011, is only some 10 weeks away now with a demo in the middle. There will be plenty to discuss in the coming weeks, especially once the embargo is lifted on the 4th August. So I’m afraid this column will be a tad shorter than usual on the basis of the ‘old’ games flaws being discussed over and over and all we can do at the moment is speculate and hypothesise about the potential, or otherwise, of the pending instalment; and I for one don’t want to waste my time writing and yours reading on something that may or may not happen with a review due next week. Although I must admit, it sounds very promising !!
Ok well on with the show I guess, I’d like to start with a follow up to some of last weeks points.
Eyes in the back of his head… Part 2…
This was certainly a well debated point last week. The comments from Duffman and Jam-EZ are worth a read. In summary, they were discussing the use of the map and how areas of it should be faded to suit a players line of vision and awareness of team mates position and movement. It think this would be a great item to try and play with. Like a few of you pointed out last week the map is used to spot the magic through ball and in all honesty, not every player has that ability. Great idea, lets hope Dan and Double D add that to the ‘points to raise with Konami’ list.
Its raining goals
Some points raised recently suggest PES is ‘easy’ or goals can be scored ‘at will’. Personally I slightly disagree with these points and don’t get me wrong on this one as PES2010 has probably life expired for me against CPU opposition. However, I recently started a world (international in Konami’s eyes) cup with South Africa with varying results. I must admit, this provided a different challenge and its fair to say, I could not score at will. I was tinkering with my formation more than Ranieri on a bad day. The game wasn’t easy and I found the methods of scoring against the CPU I’ve been using to win Master Leagues were all covered. So to that end I’d suggest if people think the game is overly easy they should find another way of playing it. Dan suggested a camera angle change on Tuesday, during his description of struggling to beat Liverpool with Valencia.. ahem… Anyway; I’d be interested to hear if any of you have found other ways to extend the life of pes until the new instalment; and I’m not really looking for ‘use the disc as a beer mat’ sort of responses or put one hand behind your back. I totally agree with the point raised on the comments to IWP about there being no point playing once it becomes ‘easy’ but once ML is conquered, a few times and ‘top player’ isn’t that top then the only way to challenge yourself would be to try something new with a team you wouldn’t expect to win every game.
Also, do many people actually BAL? Having played a few games on it last season, I just couldn’t see the attraction so feel free to discuss and offer the opinion on this one as I know we’re all different.
As always, comments welcome below otherwise I can be reached on doinotlikethat@hotmail.co.uk
Like I said, apologies for this being shorter than usual however I’m confident normal service will be resumed in the coming weeks as the hype and game tests come out.
