Champions League
- 17 April 2002
.. looking back at pes 2014, for me it still is the best looking football game graphically to date (im talking specifically about player physics and movement animations - looking like a real game from a distance). Unfortunately those realistic looking animations etc seemed to have used too many frames and took its toll on reaction time. And for better reaction times they obviously had to take away some of the animations or add shorter less smooth animations like in pes 2015/16.
Shirt/short physics shouldn't be an issue though..
Although im really enjoying pes2016 and think its the best new gen pes to date, I do think they need to aim to get back to 2014 animation wise.. pes 2016 has some really off-putting animations (hunched running, no backlifted passing etc) which just makes it not look as realistic as pes2014. Don't know if that makes sense to you all, but just go and look at some pes2014 as posted by klashman, and you'll see how realistic pes2014 actually looks from a distance. Just a pity it was so damn unresponsive and didn't play realistic...
Fifa is an interesting case (played a lot of the 14 and 15 demo on ps4 lately just to compare - for some reason I prefer speed and smoothness of 14). It has so much more animation wise than pes.. however it seems response time is so good because each animation sequence is so damn quick. For me, its this, and the player physics (I cant believe how bad the players actually look in gameplay - each player is so ridiculously lanky) that make it look unrealistic watching it on the screen. Playing it is fun I must admit.. mainly cause it so responsive. Adding to this is the fact that there is just so much more animation wise and what you can actually do in Fifa.. so many more moves etc than pes. And the presentation is amazing. Love when you score a goal, you get a sudden ever-so-minute-shake of the screen as if the crowd's craziness is shaking the stand that the broadcast camera is fixed to. Point being, konami really need to have a look at fifa (as if they don't do this already) and up the number of animations as well as increase number of controller moves - in order to keep adding to the realism of football.
Anyways, going back to pes2016, it has the best gameplay to date and a lot of it has to do with its simplicity - its so easy to play the way you want to play, giving you much of the control you had in the ps2 era(but with full manual dribbling,passing and shooting). Been a dream for a long time - ultimate control with full manual. Now that we finally have it (mind you I was pretty happy with pes2015 in this regard), I just hope konami don't forget the great animations they had in pes2014 as a reference perhaps. We all want a game that not only plays well, but also looks amazingly realistic as well with its animations.
