Funny to see how different the opinions are...
We've had people saying PES5 is so bad that they converted to Fifa, and people who came back from Fifa because of PES5 and people who say there's hardly any change
Anyway, I'll definately think PES5 is an improvement.
The referees are much better now I think, it supports a much more realistic approach in defending, instead of hunting opponents all over the pitch with the X button. And in the games I played the CPU finally makes more fouls as well, something that was almost absent in PES4, unless you were playing on 5/6 stars and leading the game.
The passing is less precise now what it should be IMO. Just look at a football match on TV and count the amount of wrong passes... Hopefully it will also prevent the situation that you play against someone else who's a n00b in PES but counter-attacks the crap out of you just by hammering the X pass-button.
And I guess I don't need to explain that the shooting is much more improved!
I can probably come up with much more improvements I noticed but I also wanna complain a bit...
I still don't get it why they can't get (or don't want to get) FSAA to work, every damn game out there has it (even Worms4 or other console-ports like GTA)
Sounds are just plain bad... the shoot and pass sounds especially are very unrealistic and annoying. Not to mention the crowd sounds... Almost unbelievable that Konami put in so little effort to make good sound. Especially in football games the atmosphere in the game is depending a lot on the pitch and stadium sounds.
And well, when it comes to licenses they lost AGAIN... but personally I can't be bothered so much because I know I'm gonna change things myself anyway, even if they had all the licenses from all the clubs of the world. It takes me a few weeks to get all the player stats and teams stats right, but then I'm a very happy man when I can finally start my Master League
