World cup is coming!

May 26th, 2006 Posted in other games

…and so I thought to simulate it with PES5, my favourite soccer game… despite the latest version AI bugs/cheats that were pissing me too much.

I played it at 2 stars levels with Italy team: too easy, could win every match without real effort. Ok then, I’ll give another try at the 3 stars I thought.

The horror! Insane, all CPU player could simply slide into my defenses like if now my defender were complete idiots! haha too fun, at 2 stars the CPU player don’t even spring (they seems mostly to just walk on the field) while on 3 star they run (and that’s ok) and they can score so easily from a second to another. Really, whatever you do, you can’t prevent them from scoring.

How you can prevent someone to score if he can launch an attacker in front of the keeper with ONE PASS from MIDFIELD? :D Impossible.

I was playing with a friend who started to laugh when I lost 3-1 vs USA using Brazil (nothing against USA of course, but I think in real soccer they would have hard time to score 3 goals vs Brazil…!!).

So I decided to give up PES5 and started to play this new Phelios game, Kickin Soccer. At least CPU doesn’t cheat so badly!
