Picked up PES. Best football AI I've ever seen. Not perfect, but they'll at least try to play.

this this thread's drop in activity is the best sign that ILX has grown up to middle-age, dulled by adult responsibilities

or a sign that these games have been str8 garbage for at least a couple years now. EZ has me wanting to try a demo again there at least.

try the PES demo. It's not perfect or anything, but it's fun and the AI doesn't make you want to throw your controller across the room.

one year passes...

Went PES this year; setting up the real teams is a ballache for the 30 minutes it takes, but it's much funner to move the ball around than in FIFA, with its beach ball passing and seemingly horrendously botched new set piece system

friend is trying to drag me back in. i basically quit this shit entirely maybe 3 years ago when both pes and fifa were disgraceful. but were still getting great reviews of course. can we get some ethics in games journalism, please.

Why are these things a) so fucking hard to satisfactorily play? and b) so long-winded to even set up a match? Like in a world where the Fifa games are literally less user-friendly than Football Manager what is the fucking point?

don't even see how this was a duck (Noodle Vague), Monday, 3 October 2016 23:18 (seven years ago) link

Plunged back into FIFA after a 5 year break - yep, its slow and grinding. I was tempted to go for PES but the lack of real names/clubs seemed too much of turn-off
