Re: PES 2016 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

First impressions aren't great for me:

- It's really fast.

- It's really easy to score.

- Defensive AI is iffy.

- Lack of CPU fouls is annoying as hell.

- Not having current rosters is a joke.

I could see this game being fun, and maybe I'll grow into it more, but right now it's kinda reminding me of some of the worst of FIFA 15, in that it's a bit of an end-to-end goalfest.

What difficulty is everyone playing on?

Any more impressions on fouls?

No fouls really killed last year's version for me. Early indications are they shanked this issue for the second year in a row, but still would like to hear if anything has changed.

You have 5+ pages to look through and you post this ? Wow. Good job.

I'm in the not enough fouls camp. I've played a few games with literally no fouls except for offside on 15 minutes.

I feel like the number fouls wouldn't be an issue if PES let you stop the ball and refuse the ref advantage like FIFA. Too often the advantage is played incorrectly, and you can lose the ball instantly after the advantage and the ref doesn't call for a dead ball. It's a simple mechanism that would help.

Or if they added that little icon that FIFA has in the upper right-hand corner that let's you know there's an advantage. Sometimes there are fouls but the ref isn't in clear sight so you can't see it.

The lack of fouls is almost a deal-breaker for this game, which is a shame because there are many positives. Yes the speed is way too fast on default and it seems very easy to score, I got six on pro in a 15 minute half game.

I am loving being able to import kits and badges. I love being able to edit teams and FIFA refuses to satisfy this need for me.

People tend to post impressions prematurely, or respond in ignorance, sort of like how you just did.

Does difficulty matter? Does game speed matter? Has there been any info regarding a fix, like some obscure tweet from a developer? These are legitimate questions, but whatever, remain in ignorance I guess.

Yeah, but even when we see the ref giving the advantage we can't just stop and take the foul like FIFA. If we stop dribbling, the CPU are allowed to tackle the ball away while the ref does nothing. Seems like it would be a simple fix, but oh well. Even if the CPU fouls in our own 1/3 the ref forces us to play advantage.

Agreed, but I'm probably still going to get it. Wonder if it will be ready at midnight for PC....

It's taken all the discipline in my body not to take the plunge, but FIFA releases tomorrow night(usually around 8 or so) on Access so that should make it easier.

Yeah, it looks good though - just not quite a fan of the defensive animation/mentality, so I'm just going to be that guy trying to fix things. You know me - sometimes to a fault. I do plan on doing a full gameplay review of both games afterall.

Some people, myself included, have had the game since Thursday of last week. There's been countless of comments made in the last few days about the lack of fouls and how there appears to be no fix on the way.

You'd know that if you actually read up rather than asking something that has already been asked 13 times.
