I agree with EA sorry ppl!!
EA
There's a long way to go to get it exactly right, and I also think that sometimes you have to make certain compromises because you're in a game space and you've got a controller which compared to a human is very limited. In Pro Evolution you've only got eight directions you can run in, and that's not football. As we go forwards and get more animations, and a better control method, the product becomes more realistic. It just takes time and a lot of resources to create real football.

I am afraid I have to agree with him, I watch and play real football in real life (and am damn good now!!) and I can move and I see players move all over the place, more then 8 directions, I know that PES does this to make it harder to re-create the whole experience, but if EA can make it real free, yet hard to control, then surely that will be a better re-creation in the running???
PES is brilliant, sensational, but even I think one of the things that lets it down is the freedom that you're given, it is too tight for me.
This is IMO anyway, you might think otherwise, but for me I think the freedom in FIFA 2002 is great, yet it is just to easy control.
He also said that you have to pass now, you cannot run past players, this sounds very good, but knowing our look we'll find a way to get passed the dumb a*s defenders all the time!!
