Agreed. It irritates me when you slide in front of your opponent, contacting the ball, then several months later the opponent runs into your player [still on the deck], and you get a card for it. The ref engine is bad at distinguishing between late challenges, and well-timed challenges where the attacker runs into the tacker after already losing the ball.
And could they please improve the collision detection whilst they're at it. Eg ball disappearing through players limbs or midriff and players limbs passing through each other.
And the change-player algorithm IMO is worse than in previous PES games. Only being able to select between the two nearest players can be frustrating when there is a third player in a better position standing around that you can't control. Eg two players tracking back in a futile chase whilst your centre back stands in a good goal side position, unfortunately standing there is all he does because you can't select him until you either get rid of the others or until it's too late.
More directions of movement. 360* would be nice but even 16 ought to be a massive improvement over the current 8. If they can't do this yet for player movement then could they at least recognise more directions from the left analogue stick for 'X'-passes, it's annoying when the game ignores the player that you actually point to and instead rounds the direction to the nearest 45* and then passes to the nearest player to that octant, who is inevitably marked and the pass gets intercepted.
Less silly AI behaviour. Obviously the AI can never be perfect, but some of the things that your team mates do beyond your control verge from frustrating (but realistic if occasional) to just plain daft. This includes, but is not limited to:
- defenders who automatically boot the ball in their own box when you actually wanted to control it and/or do something sensible with it
- defenders heading the ball back across their own box
regardless of what direction you indicate
- defenders who automatically get drawn wide to an opponent who enters their 'zone' regardless of the fact that you've already got it covered by a player you're controlling manually, leaving you with no defence in the box despite trying various combinations of L1, [], X to try and get one of them to pressure whilst the other gets back in the middle and covers
- panicky goalkeepers who run out and boot the ball when there's no significant danger
- defenders who see a ball on their own goal line and suddenly feel the need to sprint at it from yards away and spoon it into their own net
Phew, all that without even mentioning locked runs.
Nope, sorry, can't resist; is it just me or do people find that sometimes they have to wait for several bounces before regaining control of the player
even when using super cancel? I find this often happens when trying to latch onto L1+O passes.
