poor implentation of "advantage" rule and hand-ball
red cards incorrectly shown for inocuous trips in midfield
poor range of options - very limited range of custom tournaments, you cannot replicate any real world football competition
no real career mode
Master League is a mess
far too few teams
AI teams plays players in wrong positions in Master League
limited environmental conditions (not enough range of weather conditions, no wind, all pitches play the same and are the same size)
no referee or assistants on pitch
Jesus...
-not true
-CPU only "cheats" when it comes to the ref ,and that's something that happens daily.Refs aren't neutral.
-Agreed.The CPU on 5* is easy.Should've been a lot harder.
Refs are sometimes biased in favour of your team.I've seen it happen.Refs sometime help me out and screw the opponent.They usually help the home side.
-Handball is ok ,but advantage sucks.
-There are no rules for send-off's.Again ,it depends on who the ref is for.It's like that in reality.
-You have the League mode and the Konami cup.You can do whatever you like with the Kon Cup.What more do you need.Also ,you've got real competitions in ML:WEFA Champ-CL and Masters-UEFA Cup.
-WTF for?You've got a ML club to manage for as long as you like.You've got team history log ,player training.This isn't a manager game but the management parts are great.This isn't Tony Hawk where you have a career.
-ML is awesome.64 clubs ,4 1st Divisions ,1 2nd Div ,4 1st Div Cups and one 2nd Div Cup ,+ WEFA Championship and Masters Cup which depends on qualification.The ML has never been better.
-Far too few?
-What makes you think that?It could happen if you swapped players between clubs using Free Transfer opt.Then you could have a mess which would be your fault.
-There's a lot to choose from in Environmental cond.The weather opts should have been more precise ,yes (snow ,wind...).Should pitches be different?They all look different but it would suck of they were difficult to play on.Pitches change when raining ,but it would really be awful if you had to adjust to every single field in the game.
Size-the pitch size should be the same but I guess stadiums as a whole should have been in various sizes.
-I haven't seen a ref actually on the field during gameplay but that is something that I have also never seen in any game so that can't be considered a con because it has not been in footy games yet.At least not to my knowledge.
Overall ,it seems like PES3 has a lot of cons but we just go into details.
The game is as close as it gets to reality.It's almost perfect and if you're gonna buy a game ,then this is the obvious choice.
