What is going on with PES2? Is it really a step forward?
Some gripes....
I'm not sure about the new feel of the game...firstly the players feel like they're wearing 80's roller boots- it just doesn't have the zip of the original! The control of players has become too intricate....there seems to be an inbalance between attack and defence. If controlling a defender and you miss a simple tackle you then have to go through a huge turning circle before you can give chase to the attacker....yet in attack, a quick turn and run and the com just muscles you off straight away!
At least fifty percent of my goals to date come from getting the ball up to Henry at the corner of the box, who then does a quick turn or two and then slots it in in the diagonal.....ie less variety.
It is often that from a kick off you can superfast dribble all the way into the opposing box and score.....quite exciting but a tad unrealistic!
Losing Trezeguet for 12 matches for a minor injury!! (yellow)
Using the square button for pressing the ball but seeing the player just run past the attacker and then running in a big circle like a plonker.
Beckham accepting the ball on the wing with 20 yards of space but being closed down before you reach the area.
The commentary....I tell a lie!He's missed it. Duh!
Freekicks are so much harder. You take a real beauty and it could't get any nearer to the top corner but the keeper always saves it.
Penalties-I've had 6 during games.....had five saved! Something about the law of averages and all that.
Ok there are lots of good additions that enhance the experience...fouls when jumping for the ball, great animations, training mode la la but somehow I feel a bit cheated. I was hoping that PES2 would be a progression but in these early days it seems more like a chunky older brother. What was working in PES seems to have been tampered with to allow the new bits in PES2 but at a cost....
Just want to add that I thought PES was a bit naff at first but grew to love it, so I suppose it's possible that'll happen again....
Finally, what camera angles do you guys use? I normally use default long but have just found that adding the sweeping effect gives the game something extra.....

Same feelings here, not too sure of the changes.
But then i didn't like the first one till after a few weeks playin.
The best new thing: the dummy, press R1 (and nothing else) when ball is coming to you, and the player steps over it without touching. Can do some great moves.
Does seam too easy to score. won 6-3 other day??????, never had an unrealistic score on old pro evo.
Is anyone going to be bothered to change all the wrong player and team names?
I had micheal owen soccer on ps1, which didn't have a FIFA licence, so all names were funny like Owan, and Sheerer, but, and here's the clever bit... there was an inbuilt cheat, where you entered a password, and all the teams and players changed to real ones.
So you got the full names without paying for the official licence, why didn't they do this for pro evo, i mean orange032... i can't carry on like this.

Very critical!
I loved the first, even though it wasn't perfect. It's the same this time, I can guage how good the game is by how much I play it, plain and simple.
Jumped straight in with the Extreme difficulty Master League with West Ham, and it's a challenge, and it's frustrating but it's still got the "one more game" factor....
People are being way too critical of PES2, it could have just stayed the same but it feels different. It's my favourite game at the moment, just beating TS2 and Burnout 2. Just because it feels different to a game most of us played to death, doesn't make it a dodgy follow-up.

True, but try it when your defending.

Hmmm. Whenever i use R2 the player kicks it too far and they nick the ball!

Bit crictical aren't you. i know what you mean though about defenders turning circles. However, try pressing R2 when you turn, it makes it aot quicker.
