It was a long and restless night for me. Full moon, and other reasons, and I had little time to think.
I've been a fan of the 1996 series since I played ISS DELUX, then I've been looking for Konami football games because they were the best and I love football.
As much as I respect Thomas, I think it will be PES 2022, or rather eFOOTBALL 2022, because they want to remove PES from the name!
I realized that the game was not made for me, for people like me, Konami is already looking in a different direction and wants to get rid of their past. That's why all these key changes in basic mechanics like Fake Shoot, Close Control, Blows, Calling for a Second Defender, the Defense System as a whole, and other basic things that have been part of the PES series from the beginning, don't remove them, precisely because they want to break away from the past.
A lot of people say it's PES 2021/2020, I'm sure what they're talking about, maybe the animations and all the problems with them in past games, yes even here they're worse, but they have time to fix them, but most of the mechanics have changed and do not resemble PES.
Of course, there are other reasons to make the game easier for the mass gamer, who is more familiar with FIFA than PES, over the years this has been one of the main criticisms of Konami that PES was too complicated for ordinary gamers to this is now Noob Friendly possible.
But one of the main reasons for all these changes is that Konami wants one game for all platforms. And it becomes clear to a blind person that all the menus are made first for touch screen and then it is thought how to map to a gamepad, but I do not want to go into details on this topic.
Again, perhaps the most hurt is the incompetent behavior of Konami, behind whom we have stood for so many years and defended them, one way or another, but now ... it is very difficult to give a reasonable explanation of their actions.
DavidFish actually recreated my earlier words in this thread that we've been waiting 18 months, playing the same game for two years in a row, with the promise of a super mega next-gen game that uses the best Engine in the Gaming Industry and ... the first thing we see is this ... a super incompetent move from Konami ...
And all the talking and writing that "this is just a test of online stability" launches beta feedback Survey where 99% of the questions are related to the atmosphere, graphics, gameplay, animations, referees, etc. ... but... WHY ???? Please Konami helps me to help you... I don't see any common sense here
I've personally lost all hope, I can't believe I bought a 120hz OLED TV and PS5 because I don't play anything else, PES is my hobby...
I apologize if I'm a little confused in my writing and thinking, but my English is not very good, and I write one, delete others to keep the tone as good as possible.
