Review: So the new Pro Evo... anticipation? excitement? that old Fifa vs PES dialogue? To put it simply I havent played FIFA and FIFA still wins. You dont buy PES to play against the AI so why put so much effort into it? How can you manage to completely screw up your online play? The lag is rediculous and turns most games into a lottery. The stop start nature of all player animation is also shoddy and once again Konami have spent a minimal amount of time and money on developing previous work. How can they state that realism is key to what they want to acheive when player stats are so outdated its untrue, Paul Scholes faster than Hargreaves? Tackling has also become a joke, slide tackle button should be renamed foul button, regardless of timing, and normal tackle button called little kick button. For me the game is only really playable offline vs a friend or two. How about we have a 3rd Football game developer who listens and takes input before producing a game?
Pros: not just your strikers can score wow!
Cons: graphics, no online play, tackling, stats from the 90s, It made me sell my PES6!
Score: 2/10
