PES 2016: Demo Impressions Roundtable

[sroz39]

One of my favourite things about the PES rating system is that you get immediate feedback when moving a player around different positions. It's a bit of a crapshoot in FIFA when it comes to this and it makes the team management aspect alot easier...

...which then immediately goes out the window when trying to navigate the cumbersome menus present in this game. All the talk going into PES 2016 was the redone menus and granted they LOOK alot better. But functionally they're the same and I'd rather they work on that aspect of things.

As a relative PES newb, the menus were a huge pain to deal with in PES 2015 and they're not really any better in this demo. FWIW, the other game's menus are far from perfect themselves.

I am generally "anti-meter" in all sports games, not just the soccer ones. The difference between PES/FIFA and say, MLB The Show or NBA 2K, is that the latter group of games gives people like me the option of having attribute ratings govern the areas of the gameplay that meters will determine on the default settings. I'd love to see a "ratings only" kicking system brought into PES/FIFA. It really should have happened years ago, when you consider how long basketball and baseball games have given their players that option.

Awww, the control scheme is too hard for Jayson. Lets get him a Wii controller. Why fix something if it's not broken. That would be like Madden changing their passing control scheme after all these years.

Yeah I play NBA2k with ratings only, especially at the free throw line

I guess I am on the Pro Yakyuu type of team where stats change how your player can play (for example in that game a bad player has a smaller bat to hit and a better pitcher has a smaller ball to hit which is all dependent on how well you execute the playing mechanics). Whereas I am not a fan of The Show where I can hit the same ball in the same spot at the same time and get a homerun with one guy and a groundout with the other. Can be frustrating.

Though for something that can be mastered like a free throw using real ratings is much better. ha.

PES has a rating only system.

you have alot of options to put stuff on manual/advanced.

stick skills and ratings mean so much more when doing that.

i dont see much difference with how 2K implemented it TBH.

love to hear a clear explanation ....

N00b question, but do you mean to say that PES has a ratings only system where it doesn't depend on how long I press the button for a pass or shot?

I think I'd actually prefer that to be honest.
I want the players to play like their real life selves instead of depending on my skill (or lack thereof) with the controls.

Yup it does.
