Okay I was gonna buy PE6 for my 360 but a lot of u guys, along with many reviews I've read (including Gamestations) say it basically aint worth it, so I went out & got PE5 (XBOX) for a tenner.
I have to admit I havent really sat down & played a footy game for hrs since PE2 for the PSone & PE2 for the PS2. Back then I was pretty good. I'm not saying i was the king, but I was good. Plays flowed nicely, I'd set up a sensible & solid strategy, free kicks went in & I scored some blindin goals.
So I slap on PE5 & **** me its a fair bit different. I played a few games & lost & drew them, so I thought I'd try it on LIVE. So far I've played 3 gms & lost each 1 either 1-0 or 2-0. Whoever I was playing they looked in control & skilled. Some of their players ran rings around my defence & they were good at side stepping & the like. 1 or 2 goals were quality I have to admit.
1 thing that does gripe me though is that the trainings a bit weird & I see that the old player choosing cursor still seems to pick the wrong guy. Oh, & that my defenders sometimes seem to stop dead when an attacker tries to pass them, even when theyre facing the right way!!
So is it just a case of these online geezers putting in the hrs or me being ****? I remember on PE2 that it was like learning to play the great game, as in the more u played the more u improved. Is that still true to this day? If so I'll be boffin a fair bit on this for the next week or so before I take on anyone else.
