Hi I had never played PES since I have only a PC and XBox.
I play under 19 football for my local club (ok...it just a small club but hey
) and I always found FIFA to be nothing like real football.
After trying PES 3 I have only 2 words. Holy sh_it !!!!!!!
I cant believe I have been missing this all these years. I play most sports games on the PC and XBox but NO GAME has so accurately captured the feel of a sport so well before. I could go on about the various features and so on but then you could get the same thing from any professional review on the net.
The gameplay is almost perfect. Its not just the major things like crossing, shooting dribbling models etc but equally the subtleties...the small things.
Something very irritating in the FIFA series i found was my player would automatically chase the ball out of bounds even as I desperately tried to stop him.In PES 3 pressing r1+r2 for ex lets you stop a player from pursuing the ball at anytime.
Another remarkable thing is your players make truly intelligent runs to try free up space. I find it hilarious that EA found they could not make player behave intelligently and disguised the apalling AI as OFB
.
Having anybody control 2 players at a time is a joke ! I thought it was a neat idea before playing PES but now I realise how much better and more natural the AI in PES 3 is.
I could go on..... and on
If you have at least a passing interst in football you owe to yourself to try PES 3 out especially now the demo is available for PC.
