Mo, everyone says they will improve. Hell, Seabass said this years edition was massively improved. It was better but not by much.

Konami’s problem is they don’t have money. They are clearly better football minds than EA, but so many people can’t move past the fact Chelsea is London FC or Germany doesn’t exist. I’m not holding my breath…

I doubt we are very far away from this on the Wii. It’s a matter of designing good foot or leg controllers. It might be easiest to implement in a mode in which you control only one player. Then that one player could jog, sprint, and kick. With use of a Wii Fit board the player could also do the heading. You will always need a handheld controller to indicate direction the player should go I think.

Anyway, I think within 5 years at most the games will be there. There will be a tradeoff though between a one-player experience in which the player controls the entire team and one in which the player simulates as much as possible the physical act of being an individual footballer.

and yes manual control passing in PES is almost useless.

EA is already sort of doing this, albeit with another sport. In the ’skate.’ games you control flip tricks completely with one of the sticks, with different flicks resulting in different tricks.

Though, there could be a problem with having the trick system and some sort of flick-shot system.

Yeah, it’s pretty crappy though, and as said before, we’re talking about FIFA because PES is in decline.

PES already has this. As usual. Look up Manual Passing.
