8 Ways PES 2022 Has To Impress To Make It Worth The Wait
1. Gameplay
When Pro Evolution Soccer was the best game across the sports genre it was because of its fantastic gameplay and this is what it needs to get back to. Regardless of the guaranteed visual improvement, if the gameplay isn't the best that all will count for nothing.
PES' renaissance in recent years has been largely down to the gameplay offering an improved realistic take on the sport we all love. Slower gameplay, more precise build up and a move away from the arcade feel of FIFA.
However, it is still littered with bugs, in particular in online matches. Players running into each other, the ball uncontrollably bouncing off defenders and general delay are some of the main gameplay issues.
When it comes down to it, gameplay trumps everything else and a new engine should allow for a different level of football game than we have ever seen before. If PES2022 is as good as it could potentially be, it will be worth the wait.
