Another thing I am absolutely hating is the fact that teams will win and score regardless of how well you play. I created another Manager Mode file fresh with Juventus for the new patch to see how it goes and there were some games where I was coming up against a mid-tier team who would score first, and subsequently score each time after I equalized. Those scores tend to end in a 3-2 or 4-3 match with the opposition winning. Bit pathetic to have the stats at the end of the game read "20 shots, 3 goals - 5 shots, 4 goals".

So because you suck at defending, its FIFA's fault? Idiot.

The only trouble I have with defending is headers, but Man City has a few tall defenders in Kompany and Richards so I rarely concede at all.

Practice more.

Given the fact that he's getting 20 shots to the opposition's 5 I'd say he probably has some idea how to defend.

:lol that song was awesome. they should add it into every PES. totally agree with you.

:D On a related note, the best WE/PES song ever is Win and Shine, the WE 10 theme song. I bought it on CD too :D

I have the PES 2009 OST on my hard drive somewhere too :p Love PES music! :lol

Oh and just for you Blaburn - link :D :lol

win and shine is so awesome !! i searched for it like an idiot some years ago. WE had one of the best intros off all time. win and shine + nakamura & zico. good times :lol

btw, just started the master league with bayern. the new style is awesome. and i like the extended manager options. so good.
 
ok, i won the champions league trophy with the option file. but people are reporting that as soon you edit something yourself the trophy support will be disabled. -.-

i hope it's not true.

What the fuck's that got to do with anything? You don't make any sense.

All the 20 shots means is that he's good at attacking. It seems that as soon as the ball ends up in his defensive half, he's got no fucking idea what to do.

:lol defending doesn't take skill though.

Just hold the A button and let the script do the rest. It is that easy.

So don't talk as if defending in FIFA 10 is some art.

No it's not. If you hold the A button like a mad man, all it takes is the attacker changing directions and you're screwed. It happens to me all the time, and I definitely suck at defending. :lol

Dingus, my point was that it's not difficult. The guy was saying how the CPU always scores
against him to level it, and I was saying that he must suck at defending.

Having actually played the game, I can definitely tell you that if playing on World Class and all you do is press A... well... you're in for a massacre.
 
When using an option file, for Trophies - it is okay to keep the Edit Data and Kit files, but not the System data correct?

Maybe you should keep your insults at the door before letting the stream of shit come out of your mouth.

You're talking to a player who is very defensive minded. When I play football games in a manager capacity my first buys are usually defenders and goalkeepers simply because I'm of the mindset that the two CBs and a defensive Midfielder are the backbone of any team - if they are shit then your team is going to be fucked.

I know how to defend, I've seen more cleansheets than I can attest to in both PES & FIFA over several years. But eh, if you want to go on some moral crusade to try and defend the pitiful excuse for a game FIFA still is, then by all means. That doesn't excuse the fact that behind the bells and whistles FIFA is still the game for peasant dogs such as yourself.

This is the "how to lose to woodchuck" strategy. It works pretty well against most players, but not the skilled patient ones. I dunno, I defend in FIFA pretty much how I always did in PES, which is to press with the CPU and guard against the pass myself, usually using jockey to limit the options. Really don't notice much of a difference in standard defending between the games other than the slide tackles. People come up with the fucking craziest, most hyperbolic statements with regards to these games I swear (yes, yes on both sides).

Of course I'm not even going to talk about playing vs. CPU. I mean that's a totally different game; one that I've happily stayed away from since WE9 took us online.
 
improved master league + bayern münchen option file = win! the first thing i did was to fire some players...breno, lell and sosa. hopefully the real world bayern will copy me this winter :lol

Klinesman!!!! or is he sacked already as coach? To think, he could have been our coach (US National Team)...sigh ;)

Still waiting on news for the PSP version...past years have only included one stadium, right? Can you change the pitch pattern at least?

Yeah, the past years version did only have one stadium. i hope they fix that. i don't think you could change the pitch pattern...

In your attempts to paint me as the deluded one, you make yourself appear to a fuckhead of a degree that required none of my input. Well played.

I'm not the one sitting here announcing the other game is a pathetic game. That's you. PES does alot of things I wish FIFA did. I'm the one saying you clearly haven't come to grips with FIFA because, for one, you wouldn't be so bad at defending and, two, you would realise that it's not a bad game in any way.

I'll take the popular view on this one and just say look at what the sensible, unbiased majority have said. FIFA 10 is a fantastic iteration. You're allowed to hate it, but don't patronise all of us by announcing it's a shit game when, as we can all see, it's CLEARLY not. The fact that you suck at it is amusing, and I hope you find a way to quell your butthurtness whilst wallowing in your puddle of inferiority.

My point is, whether you jockey, mark or even press 'a' at the right times, it still comes down to luck. It just feels like there's a randomizer going off with every challenge. I've seen some fucked up shit in FIFA 10, in regards to defending, that completely contradicts the happening in the modern game. Why do you think everyone online plays with high pressure? Because the controlling of defenders is shocking, and everything is so CPU assisted.

Anyways, just got PES 2010. Its great. Can't wait to get this option file down.
 
Worst. PES. Ever.

Unrensponsive controls - takes waaay too long for a player to pass/shoot the ball and to turn around.

Bad judges - they call a foul for simple pushing but when an opponent repeateadly tackles my player they ignore it.

Clairvoyant opponent players - they just know when to turn and avoid a tackle.

Retarded teammate players - perhaps this can be fixed with tweaking the tactics setting but so far they are as stupid as a rock,

All of those combined make playing PES a very frustrating experience, and when I play, I don't wan't to be angry all the time, I want to have fun and a stupid grin on my face. That's why I've decided, with heavy heart, that this year's PES is a POS and that a quick uninstall is the only merciful thing I can do.

Sigh, i was going to give a blow by blow reply to your post but it would probably just be a waste of time so i'll just say you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

I know man, games that make it too hard for you to win sucks ass. Why cant I just flick the right stick and get past them? Screw PES, I'm going back to FIFA10 too, the real football sim.

He's not evil, his plain dumb. And in this regards he fits to Bayern very well.
 
Geez, I post a negative post, and everyone from here to PES defense hill jumps down on my throat, armed with a knife and a ready to rip my guts open.

*sigh*

I know I was very negative towards the game in my post and that you all feel the need to be a smartass by saying "Go play FIFA hurhur" or "You suck ass not the game", but the least you people (I don't really like using that term but I can't think of another one right now) could do is either ignore my post or tell me why I'm wrong.

As is, you people just drag the PES through mud with your overly fanboyish defense of the game.

The funny thing is, I converted from FIFA to PES.

I've been a FIFA gamer since 07 and when you play that much, you recognize how overrated the franchise really is.

If I had it my way, both Konami and EA should pump out a world class game. But what's the chances of that happening?
 
Well, I'm about to switch over to PES too. I played Fifa 09 like crazy, but Fifa 10 just makes me mad with how perfect the CPU AI plays. Been playing a lot of the PES demo and just having fun, win or lose.
 
`Moe Joe. said:
Anyone up for some games later?

Since this is a relatively small post and there probably won't be too many of us up for playing regularly online, should we give out gamertags and locations in here for potential meet-ups?

We could do it in the format:

GAF username / PSN or 360 name / Location / Time(s) you're likely to be online

Mine is:

JustAnotherOtaku / johnny84 (PS3) / Northern Ireland / mainly evenings, all weekend

Or alternativley, we could use the community feature of the game and organize leagues and cups?

You do discover a very defensive mindset in this thread. It's full of absolute, waffly hyperbole and to me that's the only evidence we need.

I propose what that other guy said. Get EA and Konami together, the positives of each game would make one hell of a football game.

What's the deal this this guys? Are you all playing fine and not noticing the horrible lag and unresponsive controls?
Don't get me wrong, I love the game but I haven't thrown the game because I'm waiting for a patch from Konami to correct this!
By the way, any news about a patch?

Please do.
Maybe I'll be able to enjoy my PS3 copy of the game, since it's the only footy game I'm buying this year (maybe I'll give PES10 Wii a chance).

Do you mean that the players are not unresponsive and there's no input lag in the controls? You must be playing a different game than I am, lucky you :)

This is totally ruining the game for me, nevermind the "little" things (CPU AI, missing all that resembles a custom setup -you can't choose referee and the ones you get are fucking harshly dumb- no flags, fireworks or anything resembling a proper home/away match with more/less supporters based on that and so on and on).
 
Could someone explain why FIFA is considered the superior game? I downloaded the demo for both games this weekend and from the little I've played Evo seems better.

By who? This was true only for FIFA09 and only because ProEvo09 was pure trash, the backlash from Evo fans stroke really hard and then you have all the NA community which has never cared for PES/WE in the first place such FIFA NA fans are very vocal in message boards and such. Certainly PES is trying is hardest to lose the loyal EU fanbase, again negletic huge markets like the ones in Germany and, partially, the UK (which was already pretty much divided between the two franchises in the first place). For a start, thanks to the "great" PES09 and many fans switching to FIFA (because you know, when in a circle of friends there's a couple of them switching to another game then it's all over, wordmouth works fast and... it begins) this year saw PES10 selling 39% less in its first week on the UK charts. That's a HUGE decline.

Sadly, the truth is that this year both are totally disappointing footie games.
And that, once again, I will have to resort to the PS2 engine for a competent game (PS2/Wii versions, provided KCET doesn't screw 'em as well) since I don't game on PC (I gather there's probably going to be unofficial patches/fix to improve the game controls-wise).

All it was good and well up until a few of years ago, because the couple of times a not-so-good-as-before PES was born, you knew that at the very least there was going to be an improved Winning Eleven Final Evolution JPN down the road, making for the perfect footie sim. Now even that it's gone :/

imo, it isn't.... there are just alot of EA fanboys....and most are just more vocal.... when I say EA... I'm talking about NBA Live, Madden, and lately FIFA.....and soon enough it is going to be EA MMA....

I play Madden, but even I know that is has fundamental inexcusable flaws....just NFL rules being F'd up is just unacceptable.....but there are fanboys who defend EA Tiburon's "work" to no end....

I think this Fifa is the best yet....but I still don't have that much fun playing it......I enjoy PES 2010 more.
 
Quick question. I just started playing it and so far I'm enjoying it more than PES09. But ... is it just me or there still isn't a button to make your teammate run forward when you're holding the ball? Like in Fifa I mean, where you make players run with L1 / LB (I think).
 
I've spewed in 20 hours within the past 2 & 1/2 days. Had a little dabble with Champions League, some Exhibition games with the lads last night, and now trotting into Master League proper.

Overall I enjoy it quite a lot, which is coming from someone who skipped last year's effort. Just a few cons though:

- Defense is quite easy even on the highest difficulty rating. 20 games so far in 1P vs COM matches and I've only conceded 4 goals, the highest amount in a single match being 1 goal.
- Control takes awhile to get used to but once everything sticks together it becomes a lot easier i.e. through-passes are usually a joke unless you perform it at the correct moment; I blame FIFA for spoiling me with almost 100% precision through-passes in FIFA 10.
- Most shots from outside the box pack a lot of wallop, which is a fair action considering the situation, but when a striker is sliding down on his arse and is able to whiz the ball past the opposition's goalkeeper then something is a bit strange.
- This damn game is going to track how much time I invest into it throughout my Master League and drunken Fri/Sat night sessions. I've already shoved 20 hours into it within the last 65 hours or so.. granted it's been a weekend but that is still frightening.

I was at candy arts' place yesterday and we played a few games of PES09. I have played it more, he hasnt played since WE10. First game (he was Atletic Madrid, I was playing Boca Juniors) he won 5-1. Slightly embarrassing. The rest of the games we played as those two teams or Argentina vs Germany were either 3-2, 0-0 (5-4pk), 2-1 and 1-0 from memory.

I would say if you are a football nut and play online heaps, get fifa for authenticity, kits, players, online service etc. PES is a bit more accessible gameplay wise, and it lets you pull off some really cool stunts.

Cases in point: last year kanga came down to hobart, and chaos, myself, tex (matrixgeek) and juz had some fifa games. Kanga is a savant at the game and we all got smashed by him. The rest of the games we had were either even or blowouts, but all good fun. But from my experience PES is easier to pick up and play even against an expert. Kind of like Virtua Fighter.

Online: fifa.
Single player: PES
Local multi: either of them

Thats my opinion.
