HEXUS.gaming talk about their frustrations with the new diving system in Konami's latest soccer title.
Will it ruin the beautiful game and does it set a poor example to our future football stars?
"This new diving tactic has also caused a bit of debate amongst friends and long term fans of the Pro Evo series, who have long thought that the game is the best and most true to life footballing experience in a videogame. That debate revolves around the question that, while FIFA and the FA are actively trying to discourage diving in the real world of football, should Konami have included this diving tactic in their extremely popular football series? Aren't they actively encouraging our future footballers to use these dirty tactics?"
This Is My Joystick NEW Celebrity Games Columnist OJ Borg Laments The Death Of The PS2.
The power of the PS2 was the social aspect; that dragged Gamers in. Nowadays we don’t need to see, smell or entertain our friends as we have Xbox Live and the shabby PS3 online thing, but back then, we used to have to be in the same room to play these games. This wasn’t a new thing, but the games just made it all-encompassing.
Games like Tekken Tag Tournament were great for a night of lazy boozing and gaming. Track and Field with a Multi-Tap was where we would give different names to the competition, depending on who was there (“AAA” if it was the poorer player’s, right up to an Olympics once every four weeks). We even had a little drugs scandal, when we decided to ban the use of socks on fingers to help mash the buttons.
The PS2 was a once in a lifetime machine, but honestly I hadn't seen a new one available here in the states in almost 5 years. The news that they have ceased production worldwide is basically symbolic.
The epic fight between the two soccer giants Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA has been going on for over 10 years now. Cynamite takes a look at the scores from both games and shows, at which point PES overtook the FIFA series.
PS1/PS2 - PES by far
360/PS3 - FIFA by far
I can't see that changing until the next generation of consoles.
2000 - 2005 -> PES dominated since the PS1 days but then it came PES 2006 it was a major letdown
2006 - NOW -> Fifa started to show its quality on this current gen and it evolved year after year while PES was still way behind.
A shame that games like "This is football" just vanished during the PS2 days
pes2011 is much different from any next gen pes, this is really a huge improvement
Its funny to read or talk to the FIFA fanboy they cant accept the true and hate PES.
If you go to the FIFA forums they talk Bs. About pes and they hate it.
In the Pes forums they respect Fifa and many will be getting the two and we aré confidente that PES11 is better and the kind is back
Boomtown writes: "No rivalry in the world of gaming is fiercer than the one between competing football franchises. It almost mirrors the strength of feeling people have for their club. Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
I think is aswome, not all the times you will be getting away with it, and it makes a bit more realistic.
yes I know it can cause u the game but thats how real life football is.
cant wait for it.
Cheating is for cowards. If you aren't an honest enough person to not cheat when you're playing football, a game, poker, whatever, then you, my friend, are a coward.
I hate it when ppl dive and cheat in the beautiful game of football. If they can't play it fair then they can start up acting instead.
Diving in a videogame of football might not sound like a big deal. But when the youngsters see the players in the game do it, and they see their idols in Premier League (for instance) do it, then they will copy that and do it themselves. And everyone will be "everybody else is diving, why should I also?" - Because it's CHEATING.
Cheating is for cowards.
Diving was possible on old fifa games. Last FIFA game i played was 99 or 2000, but i am sure there was fake diving to simulate foul.
Since 2000 i have been playing PES games.
WOW that will keep the Chelsea fans happy, they will be able recreate all those moments they see on the pitch.
