All this hatred cos of the lack of 'next gen' eye candy...
....and yet PES 2016 is still easily the best football game on the PC platform, ever...
...but hopefully this backlash will persuade them to hire someone to make the higher grade gfx work on PC platforms, and not cancel the series on the PC altogether.

Tried the demo and absolutley loving it. Going to buy the full game.
PLayed PES5 to death, not one PES has lived up to it since - just never feel to control the ball and the defender nearly as well as in the old PES.
Will try this one after missing the last two installments.
PES 2016 is a pretty damn good game, but er...if you get a bit irate about the game taking control away from you........
PES 2016 is a shocker for these kind of shenanigans....infact, 50% of the time, that is the only time your opponent will score, which likely means the same the other way around when you score against your opponent, which does kind of suggest that the AI plays a huge roll in whether a goal scoring chance will be created or not...
...but it is always the same with these footie games......we want them to be the real thing, but no matter how advanced they get, they are always just going to be an AI system attempting to give the illusion of a real game.

How do you mean the control is taken away from you?
I think he means the scripting, for example all of a sudden at 70mins into a game the CPU suddenly starts scoring ridiculous goals from equally ridiculous crosses from the halfway line. I'm exaggerating a little for emphasis but they are always wtf moments.
I really want to get stuck into the game with the BPL but no transfers having been done and kits looking nothing like they should puts me off for now. Neither PESGalaxy or PTE Patch are doing their first patches until after the Konami update which might not be for a while seeing as they only promised 'news' on it this week not an actual update.
I've tried playing La Liga but i just don't care about that league enough for it to hold my interest. Other little things like the keepers acting like they don't know what football is, being able to slide tackle non stop and hardly ever get a card, wrong teams being in the Champions league etc are also annoying me... Man U are in the Europa league lol.

No, I mean the on screen player/avatar will not respond to my inputs until the AI wants him to, or will even move against my inputs, cos that is what the AI is deciding must happen in order to get yet more 'collision fun' in the game.
It also really f's me off how after the AI colluding to set up a 1-1 break for my opponent, that I can't even sythe my opponent down unless I am close enough to put in a fair challenge I DONT WANT TO MAKE A FAIR CHALLENGE, I WANT TO FLOOR THE MAN BEFORE HE SCORES ADFGTHDFGHGADFHDGFH!

Find it a bit clunky, animations(especially "dash") are a bit rubbish, graphics(on pc at least) are sub par.
ALL the game versions, PS4, PS3, PC, 360, are on the SAME engine. But they each utilise different levels of graphical effects, and that is the only difference.
No, No, No, NO.
Think about the differences between versions as a graphics detail slider.
Using the SweetFX files (I think linked to somewhere in this thread..or was it on STEAM?), you can see how the appearance of the PC version is greatly enhanced. Most noticably, the faces go from that moulded (low res) plastic look to much higher detailed faces. The turf also becomes much more 'alive' and detailed, although it is best to force MSAA and AF through the graphics card driver suite to get the smoothest overall nicest effect for when the game is actually playing. If you use the SweetFX files, you will also notice a big increase in the detail of the thread patterns in the player's shirts.
As for the crowds, that will be a completely different file which likely has not been included in the PC version (It would be nice if it was) and most certainly not in the PS3 version (cos why would they?).
It is the SAME game on all platforms, just with different graphics settings or plug-ins used for different versions.
If someone could get all the bobs n whistles from the PS4 version into PC compatible file format, then the PC version could be modded to exactly replicate the PS4 version.
Damage control, anyone? You don't work for Konami by chance? SweetFX will not change the fact that the PC version of the game is sorely lacking in graphical fidelity, especially in contrast to the PS4 version. The comparison video and frequency of unfavourable reviews says it all. Vehemently defending sharp practice serves only to encourage shoddy development. Vote with your wallet, not your loyalty!
