I've grown to dislike the AI in the PES series and started to think about what I really wanted more than anything else from future versions of PES. I came to the conclusion that an on-line ML could be fabulous.
Most of the things I don't like about PES/2 come from playing agsint the AI and the "cheats" that crop up in every new version of the game. Playing the ML isn't much fun, not because the ML isn't a great idea but because I find playing against the AI can be very irritating. Playing against other people is much more satisfying but I rarely get the opportunity to play against anyone who is worth playing against.
However, if there was an on-line ML with only "human" teams, it could be superb. There is no reason why there couldn't be a huge ML consisting of many divisions. A calendar could be drawn up for each season and you have to log on to the official PES server at the specifed time of day to play your next match. You play a season against all the other human teams and promotion and relegation would be in operation. Humans could trade players and do all the other team management things already in PES.
You would come up against all sorts of different styles of play, formations and tactics.
There could be cup competitions running concurrently - it would be great if you were in a much lower division and get drawn against a top division team in the cup - you really would be playing against a PES expert and could get absolutely hammered...or cause a major upset. Unlike playing the AI where after a while, every game seems the same, no matter what division you are in.
There would be a number of issues to overcome -
eg. before the whole league begins, who starts in what division?
eg. what time of day to play (assuming players from all over the world)? perhaps if you miss a game, you automatically lose 3-0. Maybe have national leagues so you only play against players who are based in the same country as you.
eg. people wasting time fiddling with formations during a game - but you could just have a clock ticking so that they only have a maximum of say 2 minutes per match for editing formations.
Yeah, I'm dreaming but I'm fed up playing ML against the AI - it's the mpost annoying game I own. The more I think about it, the more I want to see PES go on-line.
Anyone else got any dreams for PES in the future?
