PES 2018 Full Game Impressions

[winston]

One thing that really irritates me is how often, when you have a shot and the cpu keeper parries it, the game has already decided that your attacking move is now over, so your attacking players, rather than act with urgency to chase down the parried ball or harry the cpu defenders who pick up the loose ball, instead immediately retreat because the game has already decided your attack is over and it's now the cpu's turn to attack. There appears to be no ability to get your team mates to react realistically and break out of this scripted flow in the game....the whole thing just feels so confined.

Using team-mate pressing to get them to react is essentially pointless because it has been nerfed so that only a solitary team-mate will react at all, and he'll basically just sort of lamely jog towards the cpu ball carrier but with no intent to tackle or win the ball back. And as soon as your guy gets close the cpu ball carrier, the cpu will instantly play a perfect laser pass to another cpu player, no matter the angle....and repeat as the cpu laser-passes its way up the pitch. There is too much in this game where they simply have not captured how football works.

I can point to numerous places where Konami shows US steam release on the 12th.

Oh well, one more day.

I wonder why is there no availability date on Steam. Steam usually posts the release date for many games sometimes weeks in advance.

Because it's Konami/PES, and nothing is ever done normal with them.

really love the broadcast camera but the change of POV on the sidelines....can that be turned off?

also thought it was strange that the rosters aren't up to date...this is my third year of PES but first day 1 purchase. So that may be typical of Konami. Anyways, game is beautiful can't wait to spend the year playing

Yeah. I saw that too. So basically the same time as the EU gets the game.

Sigh.
