I wonder how these games will improve visually with the next generation of video games console appearing on the market.

Why don't you buy 14 then trade up to a PS4 and 14 again, see what you think, then Parm with us? The father of Parmos should make a return imo



If it sweetens the pot, the controller on the PS4 is essentially the same, so you won't have to learn all new buttons

I wish FIFA would add that arrow thing from PES.

PES blows but you could hold down L2 (I think) and an arrow would appear and you could pass the ball in that direction.

With the proper power in the pass, you could make really great lead passes, as well as the ability to pass into open space behind a player that might be behind a defender.

Might wanna check out the PES demo as well, think they had developed a new engine or something? Would be great if they upped their game so EA had some decent competition again.

The gripe I've had with PES is that it just feels like a couple good mechanics inside a really awkward and janky engine. You feel like you can see all the animation hitches and such, and there's just something off about the visuals.

Also everything is blurry

Just got a few matches in, I think I'm gonna like this game.

Touch is a bit more difficult and using turbo leads to a lot more turnovers than before. Hitting Square then X for that cutback move is a bit more weighty, players overrun the ball a bit, which is nice. It's not just turning on a dime.

Or maybe I just haven't broken this version yet. Either way Parmos is gonna own this year, highly recommended

e: oh and dummying doesn't make the ball speed up through your legs and get turned over, it's actually reliable now

There was never much of a Xbox Parmos crowd, the PS3 crew has been at it with the same core of goons for a few years now, and it's loving great. Pro Clubs is the best mode in the game, and the best sports video game experience possible, in this bald moron's opinion. New blood is always welcome.

Flapsy, old buddy, you're mistaken! It's actually been simplified in a lot of areas!

You no longer need to hold L2 to use skill moves, it's now used to shield the ball. Also the game rewards build-up play and has drastically cut down on bullshit like L1+Triangle passes to sprinting midgets.

Hell, even the AI has gone from full retard to low-average intelligence!

Most people in pro clubs are just launching themselves at you as fast as they can. Be patient, make turns without using shoulder buttons, and use L2 to shield the ball.
