[Black4track]

Ratings don't matter. Check out this video

Yet people will still try to defend this game.

Ratings matter to an extent. Then it just seems like the game controls the outcome way too much.

The amount of animation information and comprehensive info on each rating type (as well as a boatload of other topics) was always fun to discover. I even bought the PES6 guide book recently that tells you how to initiate each and every type of animation (which correlated to whether that particular player could execute it well, or if at all). I'm still finding animations that I've never seen before in PES6, MLB The Show, NFL 2K5/2K8 and NHL 2K10. I've never been able to say that sentence for any NCAA/Madden game.

This is a old bump, just wanted to respond that I appreciate that

I was re-reading this thread as the ratings still confuse the day lights out of me. This was a good topic, I wish we could get some hard insight from one of the devs.
