![]() ![]() FIFA has a bit of an issue with this too, but in PES 2013 it’s very difficult to really burst away from a defender, or to feel that ever really running flat out. I find the level to which PES penalises the ball carrier’s pace particularly constraining. I’m pretty gutted to see that Konami have fallen into all the same pitfalls EA did with assistance, even after such high profile complaints. Blind passes aren’t remotely discouraged, but worse still the play which can be achieved on the highest levels of assistance goes far beyond ‘ping pong passing’. Some problem areas are notable for their similarity to FIFA. Given that PES now features more full manual features, it’s simply ridiculous to be trying to pinpoint the pass using a radar. The Blimp camera, unfortunately, is simply at the other end of the extremes. PES veterans may be used to the forced reliance on the radar, but that’s really no excuse. I can’t express how ridiculous it is to be unable to see the men in the box if I am crossing from the top of the sceen. Aside from the Blimp camera, every camera is very zoomed in. The lack of proper camera customisation options, and general lack of decent camera options is another major frustration for me. This can be forgiven only up to a point, and while PES 2013 does better than any previous game, it can shatter immersion, make you feel cheated, and appear egregiously unrealistic even if the cause & effect makes footballing sense. With PES, there is a very clear gap between the visual and the physical – from a game design perspective they are pretty exclusive concepts – and this can make PES look clumsy compared to FIFA. I’ve even seen a few cases of ball-player collisions being missed entirely. The detection is more than a little off, with clipping (objects moving inside eachother) and the opposite effect (objects responding to collisions before objects collide) are common. There are some fairly standard collision issues. Animation quality is poorer, and the ball often seems to react a little oddly given what has happened to it. In some areas, PES is still clearly the inferior game. The contrast with FIFA, in some places, is huge, and it’s those contrasts I’m going to focus on today. For those who haven’t already, I would definitely suggest trying it out – it is definitely the most competent PES game Konami has produced this generation, even if it is still a case of getting the best out of tired technology. Many in this community will have devoted some time over the last few days to playing the first Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven demo, which was released across all platforms last Wednesday. ![]()
