Why does no one play PES?

I'm actually genuinely interested in how the forum FIFA games are going. Bit of wishful thinking because I know noones gonna bother setting one up for PES.

Who are the top 3 posters you've played so far Tetra ? It's always interesting to add another dimension like this. Online PES in 2011, I resorted to using West Ham and Aston Villa to rip teams like Barca/Madrid/Chelsea apart. Good ol Obinna/Keane/Boa Morte .

Also, the fact that a few Madrid fans pick Barcelona as their team is pretty amusing.

It's been years since I've played with Madrid or felt Ronaldo's movements. My friend ( Liverpool die-hard ) actually goes out of his way adjusting rosters, and makes sure he never plays with a MANC. Even took to playing portugal without nani, and england..without mancs..so picture that.

Pretty frustrating when you're trying to get a competitive game, and this douchebag has shawcross instead of ferdinand..crouch instead of rooney..etc

One of my favorite things about Fifa 12 is how each team feels authentic, when you play Stoke City, they play you physical. Many of the people I play rotate teams and we rarely ever play with 5 star teams (Mole and McLewis). I haven't played all of the members, but many of the ones I did play are talented. I will keep your question in mind as I continue to play all the members more.

I usually play with people who make the game fun/realistic. I can understand why your friend frustrates you, I can't game with people like that.

This first tournament has been good, we just need to smooth some things out, it's been taking too long for posters to get their games in.

P.S. Don't be such a stranger to the forum, I remember seeing you around a lot in the beginning.

Yeah..all that activity in the beginning was because I was in Dubai for the summer.

Only difference now is that I'm in Canada. And Canada = Monster weed. Monster weed = Lurking..and making comments.....to myself !

Can't tell you how many times I've written out replies on this forum..only to erase it because I feel that I'm too baked to make sense. If only other people who don't smoke would follow suit

Appreciate the fact that you noticed though, Tetra. Will be looking to make myself heard more.

And also..in reference to an earlier thread..don't quit smoking bro. Idle hands are a devil's playthings..and hands are never idle when used to hold a bong


Edit : Is your tournament done ? Winner been declared yet ? I haven't seen any posters gloating as of yet..

I've only cut down, which means smoking 2-3 times a day. I've been known to jump from one extreme to another, so I've decided not to do that with smoking. I had to do it with drinking for different reasons.

Also, I'm sure I would enjoy your "high" comments, I can't speak for the rest of the forum. I always keep some high grade around me and I'm certain we remain on similar levels. But I have been known to write out messages, only reread them and decide not to post. I can only imagine what an uncensored THC would say, my brother has no filter whatsoever.

Wahaha. Man after my own heart. Only smokers like us would consider blazing "2-3 times a day" as cutting down ! I only smoke because it's the easiest..least harmful.."extra curricular" activity. I have jack shit to do all day, given that I'm in Uni..so if i'm wasting time, playing games, or watching shows anyway..why not do it while being a teensy bit toasted ?

In the end..for a lotta people..its either down to smoking or drinking. Or both. I think drinking actually creates a tangible nuisance to society..with the potential for alcoholism/alcohol poisoning/vomitting/ and all the drunk dipshits engaging in..dipshittery. In contrast, stoners rarely cause issues...as long as you don't touch em..or ask em stupid judgmental questions like "hey man...r u high ?.." Then you'll get a resounding " hey man..GO FK URSELF !" Other than that..we're just harmless victims.

Gna look for the dope smoking thread. I remember having legit discussions with Lex , Dmize and yourself. About time I posted a few pics of my paraphernalia.

Amen.

Except I live in the Netherlands, which is why I have less posts than you. Except I was sober on a CL night today so... I posted xD

But yeah - PES used to be miles ahead of FIFA gameplay wise but the gap closed, and the the licenses of FIFA just give it an automatic victory now for casuals.

That absolutely cracked me up. Good to see I'm not alone in this

On topic though, PES licenses are pretty excruciating to behold. Shit like "Wondengine town"..what ?..and "north london fc" for Arsenal. It's a joke.

But I've been using custom option files for a while now..and I sincerely think that Konami recognizes these user generated content as something a lot of us are doing. That being said..I really couldn't care less about Konami licenses given everything that's available for download. I'd actually implore them to focus away from acquiring team licenses ( Not league/trophy licenses..champions league is awesome ! just hearing that obscure uefa anthem gives such a feel of authenticity ), and just concentrate on gameplay..and that god awful online multiplayer.

One solution to PES licensing problems is to get a 360 controller and get the PC version (it's not crippled like FIFA's PC version), because http://www.pes-patch.com/ then turns it into the undisputed best football game.

FIFA has presentation and graphics, fancy design, features, license.

Gameplay? No, simply no. Playing FIFA is like playing some mediocore shooter like mentioned COD. People pay money for same shyte every year that barely changes. Its too easy and boring.

Although FIFA had an upper hand since 2007 imo, it will change now (2012 PES is better than FIFA, played both)

PES is more deep game, requires skill. If you are hooked up on one player mode, FIFA doesnt even hold a candle to PES.


So overall, as a casual gamer, who plays maybe 2-3 games a year:

FIFA=COD (nice wrap, dig inside-nothing special gameplay wise)

PES=CS (bad wrap, gameplay better)

I like the comparison. I know exactly what you mean with CS and COD.

And speaking of CS...I downloaded 1.6 about a month back and started running it all over again, on non steam servers. Plenty of Canadian servers with low latency...


CS rules all.

No one plays FIFA in Serbia...All PES lovers.

Any one playing master league offline?

Whats up with the transfers I cannot seem to get any players that I want to get this year is there something different?

They always say the same thing "the player was keen on a move but its always hard to get someone who is in the first team" orrrr "the player was not keen on lack on fighting for a spot"

What am I doing wrong?? Its ruining the game for me!!

Who are you trying to sign and which division are you in?

playing as barcelona in La liga and ive tried signing (in the summer window at the end of the season)

Cavani Rossi levezzi

Also was looking at some DM players who didnt want to sign either because they where first team players at their clubs.

And...I having trouble selling my players also. I could not sell villa abidal or kieta at the end of the season which sucks if you can help and tell me what I am doing wrong I would be very greatful

.

I installed the 1.01 patch and it runs much better (pes 2012)

Ty its alot better now that I know how the transfers work. I was able to at least sell some of my players. still trying to get a new striker and a dm with no luck so far but ill keep trying it.

although I still have players saying they don't want to sign for me becuase they don't want to fight for places even though I need players in that position

.

Yea i don't want to cheat lol even though at times it would be nice

does affection for a club go down after time even if the player is a first team member?

Just dropping in to show PES some much needed love

.

i have always thought that pes is way beeter than fifa , in terms of graphics and even transfers of players , and know with cl and copa libartadores fully licened , theres no competetion.

PES has always been better then FIFA, why is this even up fro debate.

Also, on the tricks thing, i've played PES for over 10 years and I still can't do tricks, you will lose the ball unless you time it perfectly, which does add realism. Go online, and you will rarely find PES users who bother with tricks, its a waste of time and slows down attacks.

Your post is all based off opinion. I also don't understand the part about doing tricks, I don't really care if others don't care to use tricks. Would you go and tell Ronaldinho tricks are worthless and just slow down the attack?

This is question will always be up for debate, it's a matter of preference, not sure if you understand what that means.

You also just made my point for me, you've been playing it for 10 years and still can't do the tricks. Even if you didn't want to do them, you could still easily (IMO) learn the moves in Fifa.

I could do them, on lower levels, but on Top Player, no chance, the AI won't fall for them. The game is meant to be hard, its meant to be rewarding to pull off tricks. Easily learning to do the tricks in FIFA is not a good thing.
