Quote taken from Metro Gamecentral on release:
The artificial intelligence is a major, major problem. It can’t be stressed enough. Playing offline against the computer is an unmitigated disaster, and not for the reasons you might be thinking. This isn’t a difficulty issue, it’s a broken mechanic issue.
In its launch day state, the AI will spend 90% of its attacks sending in low crosses. That isn’t an exaggeration. This tactic is so ingrained that we have witnessed strikers clean through on goal, approach the keeper and turn and run to the touchline just to turn again and put a low cross in. It is madness.
Strikers don’t shoot unless they are 10 yards from the goal and they most certainly don’t capitalise on counter-attacks.
The word ‘gamebreaking’ is extreme but we are talking about a significant flaw in the AI that makes games against the computer tedious, predictable and totally devoid of tension when you know their forwards are only looking to get into a position to cross the ball."
Has this been fixed? I'm considering buying for PC but Pro Evo in the PC subforum is fairly dead due to previous Konami abortions being served up.
At least until the PES usual suspect emerge from Twitter radio silence and at least explain they acknowledge the issues.
