Anybody's getting it?

Hillskill

lol! As far back as I can remember being a member on here you have loved Pro Evo

Jamezinho

Got it. Loving it. Could well be the best PES for many a year.

Long long before that. It goes back to PS and ISS. I think I have missed only a couple of versions since then. I only play Master League and only whenever I get some time in the evening. It relaxes me after busy day No interest in any online features. Old school

Thanks! Currently looking around for a better price

Do you play Master League? Any option files already?

Jamezinho

Haven't played ML for years but I generally stick to offline play.

Try PES Universe for an option file.

Got it on CD Keys for £29.99

I must say, I'm enjoying it I especially like the randomness and physicality of the game. The ball doesn't seem to be glued to players any more which is great.

There are a few things I'm not a big fan of, but it is mostly positive for me this year. I can't figure out the crossing so far for example. Most of my crosses end up either behind my players or in the hands of the keeper. Crossing is usually a big part of my game, but in 2020, I am yet to score a single goal from a cross.

Also AI passing is sometimes unstoppable. Plus referees seem biased, AI fouls often go unnoticed, while mine, however small, always are punished.

Shooting seems also quite random.

Other than that, it is a step in the right direction

It's the randomness that kind of makes it, in my opinion. The ball bobbles around a lot more and feels less 'on rails'. As a result you get players taking a poor first touch or playing inaccurate passes. The game feels more organic and it's all the better for it.

Although it's nothing like PES5, I get the PES5 feel from this game, which is the highest praise I can give it. I just hope Konami don't ruin it with patches as they have done in previous years

After the initial honeymoon period, now the game started to frustrated me. It's the passing. Now, I get it, my team and players suck. I have picked a Championship team and playing in Championship. Mid point in the season now and I just cannot win a game. I understand that my players are crap and their passing is crap, and wouldn't mention it at all if it was fair. But my passing is terrible, while every other team in Championship is like Barcelona. Tiki taka, sweeping lofted pass through the whole pitch pin point accurate... it is just so frustrating.

Another thing is defending. Again, my defenders are crap, I get it, but AI defenders should be crap too and yet they are almost superhuman. Every closer encounter with a defender ends up with ball at their feet. I don't know, I think I need to wait for a next patch.
