PES 2016 Interview with Adam Bhatti

by

So we played PES 2016 at E3 2015, not sure if you know?! But, yeah, after day one I caught up with Adam Bhatti at a local shisha bar in LA and asked him a few burning questions.

It’s a light hearted chat with Adam (European Product Manager), given that I know him pretty well, but it’s also very honest and straight up. Give it a watch and let us know what you think. Sorry for the shisha smoke!

We’ll have more PES 2016 content from E3 and beyond soon.

Nice interview, thank you Asim.
but….
I was waiting for that question we Xbox 1 owners all want to know.
… you can guess it, right?
Why no picture loading on Xbox 1 while it is on PS4??

Sounds like there will be no ranked online 2 versus 2 on the PS4 and XBOXONE again, huge, huge letdown if this is the case. Still keeping my fingers crossed though.

Next time you talk with Adam, ask him about the edit mode on the PS4 and will there be a share feature and why won’t KONAMI get rid of the replay save during goal replays? It’s completely outdated.

Next time better ask about his new plans. Bombing Metro stations again? Had 3 days in Manchester in March. Got scared. Really scared. I mean really scared. Try to avoid Salford area!

You didn’t ask about team level fix to solve bronze benching that ruined pes 2015

It would be great to find out if players actually get injured this time around in master league!?! I would say the signs are looking good with the new collision system and the new revamped master league. Fingers crossed!

Yeah I remember when if a player got injured, they would appear with bandages possibly PES 4,5 or 6 (the special one)

Adam mentioned licenced stadiums, it would be good to have more licenced ones. But I hope there’s more stadiums even unlicensed stadiums at least 40 stadiums and a enhanced or full editor would be brilliant !!!!

Yes definitely, licenced or not, more stadiums please! It really starts to kill the master league experience second season in. Again, I hope this has a link to the brand new revamped master league. A more geographical style, sound and build on the stadiums would be really welcome. Stadiums that… Read more »

Wow! So FBI now allow Islamic State members flatly cruise for USA areas? We’re lost. God help us! Please American voters don’t let Democrats win another election. I miss the Bush days… Really do.

The scenes before a match could be better. Now its still the same as 2015. You can show reporters, player warming up things like that. Its all about the expierence during the game.

FIFA has all this presentation and once you’ve seen it like 3 times, you’re skipping through it because it’s always the same. Yeah it adds a nice visual touch to match day but I would take custom mp3 chants over any visual cutscene because it’s the atmosphere in the stadium… Read more »

Have manual headers been fixed this year? In PES 2014 (the disastrous one lol) & PES 2015 they are broken

Hi Justin,
Should we judge the game before it is released, or give a break to bhaty and konami 🙂 as we usually do here?
I feel really disappointed coz PC version will not be the same as PS 4
And i am a pc user.

Hi Alex, I believe that Adam Bhatti always does the best he can for us and we must respect he has a difficult job. PES has and always will have issues for the foreseeable future but as long as genuine and fair progress is made each year then okay cool.… Read more »

Asim, please ask Adam to get rid of the downright silly ‘follow the duck’ formation running seen after every goal scored. Cheers.

This is a measly copy of “Ultimate Team” by FIFA. When you will start to invent own ideas? Just, take 5 years for developing of football simulator! Why do you release a new series every year( Pes 16, 17 , 18… and etc)?. I think, new technology(graphics) lets do it… Read more »

I’d like to see set-pieces and deploying strategies (such as offside traps) fixed. Also, changing the formation during the gameplay, can we at least do it using the rightstick instead of the left one (yes I’m an old school I use the D-pad)? I couldn’t ever do the offside trap… Read more »

You guys should add the little children, the 2 captains choosing head or tails and trading their flags or whatever it is in real life. Other commentary people in every area and country. The other things can stay just like PES 2015. The penalties does need fixing
