PES 2016 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

[thegut]

I'm quite frustrated with the game and I'm probably going to shelve it till a patch. There are so many things that add up to the point the game is more frustrating than fun for me at the moment.

There worse offender is the scripting by the AI. I swear I don't feel in control half the time. Today in one game I had the CPU score on two straight crosses. It wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't the ridiculous defending by my AI. My guys on both crosses were in front of their man and had it defended perfectly.....until all three of my defenders at the exact same time did this weird animation where they move upfield and then kinda of slide behind the man they are marking. They weren't even jockeying for position. My guys kinda side stepped and did this weird slide behind their man. After kindly giving the other team an uncontested header about 5 meters from the goal my keeper stayed glue to his line instead of cutting out the crosses and reacted only when both balls went past him.

Adding to this frustration is the CPU uncanny ability to win most 50/50's and when the game decides to go full ****** and have guys with low dribbling turn into the second coming of Maradona.

I'm usually OK with this PESisms like your defenders being braindead or general quirks that usually aid the AI and not you but feeling like I don't have control and the atrocious keepers I'm going to shelve it for a while.

Lol, I just decided to up the difficulty and got absolutely obliterated by the CPU on Superstar. Might have to upload one goal in particular, where the CPU scored after literally 3 passes after kickoff. I would have been annoyed if it hadn't been so exaggerated and ridiculous.

Did this exchange include a player evading a tackle effortlessly?

One thing that's really starting to irk me is the pause players make sometimes after a tackle, both the dribbler and tackler. It seems to occur when you actually hit the tackle button as opposed to the CPU auto-tackling for you. It's like the game will be all fluid and then suddenly it stops.

I do really like when you shoulder someone off the ball. I wish it would happen more.

Oh, and death to the skipping animation.

Guys, play on Regular difficulty. Trust me. It's not easy, and it doesn't cheat.

Even without my adjustments below, you will still get a better game than Pro thru SS.

Kinda, here it is. (Apologies for the low def quality)

But I will say, I replayed the same match with the same setting and won 2-1. This game finished 2-6, lol. It still wasn't all that enjoyable though. Midfield was wide open, endless end-to-end gameplay. There were more fouls and the CPU keeper made some insane saves, but that's about it for positives.

Question how many of guys purchased both Pes 2016 and this latest fifa game? Thinking about getting both, but that might be overkill

Interesting, I was having good games in TP in exhibition, will try some Regular in a competition to see if I still see scripting and hopefully as opposed to exhibition, the AI does actually attack
