you guys all sound like you've just met jesus ("if only you knew, what he does to you")
you know.. sometimes maybe i WANT TO play only for an hour rather than wasting a week of my time replacing "Eddington" with "Roberto Laclos" or "Baroja" with "Radolno". i want to play as Real in fcuking Bernabeu and not (of all places) Nou Camp. i want Ronaldo and Zidane to pull nice little tricks (as they do quite frequently in real life) other than the lame PES choice between shimmy and flic-flac. i want Real to trash Alaves 5-0 as they did the other day without wondering why real life losers like Shearer, Anelka or Simone play godlike footy on level 5 in PES when in reality they so suck. i want a referee on the pitch. and linesmen. a referee, i might add, who doesn't yellow card every fcuking foul. i want authentic banners. not that "bellissimo calcio" crap. i don't want to bother tactics and set ups and "building up my game", because i have fcuking Zidane, Carlos, Raul, Solari, Figo and Ronaldo doing it for me. i want Ronaldo to celebrate his goals with his trademark index finger and not by doing childish flip-flops. i don't want Ronaldo to score headers (which he does all the time in PES), because he doesn't do that in real life. i want to be able to manually rewatch close situations rather than the computer picking scenes which it deems worthy (and which are usually not). i want to immerse in the visuals and relax and enjoy my Alaves trashing rather than fighting yet another endless 10 minutes just to keep my 1-0 against a loser team like leeds united (sorry to all leeds fans.. could have been any) just to collect dorky points to buy a Raul who in the end is not worth the money, playing next against Dortmund in Munich stadium, in which a player named "Kollar" plays like he was the best forward of all times besids shooting one free-kick after another (juuuuust like in reality)...
amen.
Exactly, I have a gripe too.
I sometimes wan't to play a hideous misrepresentation of football, I want every f#cking player to play exactly the same way, I want Sunderland to beat Juventus 7-3, I want to be able to score from exactly the same position every time, I want the players to look robotic, I don't want passing or strategy to have any bearing on the score, I want the gameplay to be terribly scripted, I want the jerky animations and miserable framerates, I want incorrect rosters, missing players and players that look nothing like their real-life counterparts, I want them not to play like them either, I want the lights of the stadium reflecting brightly off of every players face, I love pinpoint 60 meter passing, 550mPh shots, incredibly inhuman goalkeepers, I love playing with no.9 from The Netherlands, I want every fecking team in the whole fecking world to use the same tactics, I love the appaling AI on offense and defense, I love button mashing to sprint, I love that Jaap Stam can dribble past 4 players, I love sliding in from behind taking out a guy for 6 months with no yellow or red, I want players to wonder aimlessly around the pitch never looking at the ball, their man or anything else for that matter, I want to play the fecking seria A and score 220 goals in a season, I want the top scorer to have 51 goals, I want the crowd to chant for a team that's not playing, I want the ball to suddenly catch on fire and make Star Wars noises, I want every player to look the same, I love it when Prosinecki has jet black hair in every version or Viduka has dreadlocks, I want sweetspots that guarantee yet another scripted goal, I want incredible backflips and drammatic celebrations when you score in the 89th minute while losing 6-0, I want the shooting bar to be good for nothing, I want the airplay system to be a cheap gimmick with no real use, I love demonic expressions on players, I don't want to play a real game of football, I hate realistic scorelines and midfield battles, I hate having to work for a goal, I hate having to keep possesion to win, I don't want Manchester United to play a different style than Boca Juniors, I love it when you get that feeling of utter disbelief and despair when trying to figure out WHAT THE F#CK ARE THESE PROGRAMMERS THINKING !!???...I could go on and on and on..
In the end, I want to be frustrated out of my mind at the stupidity of the embarrasment they call a game infront of me.
oh yeah, for the above reasons and more FIFA ROCKS
