I had the same sort of thing. I had played Pes 3 way too much and when I first played Pes 4 I was a little disappointed too. But it just takes time to get used to it, just as it took me time to get used to pes 3 when i had been playing fifa for about 6 years.
Now that I'm used to Pes 4 for quite a while now I love the game. Multiplayer is 10 ten times more fun than ML btw.
I agree 100%
I thought PES3 was brilliant...and when I first played PES4 I was a little bit disappointed, it was still good but to me it seemed that they had just 'changed' things for the sake of change, where as I expected them to simply tweak the problems with PES3.
But after sticking with it for a while, and now playing Multiplayer, I admit that my first impressions were totally wrong. PES4 is MUCH better!! Not only did they tweak the problems with pes3 but they took it a whole load further. I am still seeing new animations every time I play and just like all the previous games, the more you play it and the better you get, the better IT gets.
The biggest test was going BACK to pes3 just to compare... it's feels SO clumsy and restrictive compared to Pes4. P4 is more fluid, a little more frantic and less frustrating. ...more enjoyable by far.
