Which makes it seem as though it's them (the developers of all football games here) that can't work out how to integrate pace as an ability into a football game and instead see it as an unfair advantage.It has always been that way in PES. I remember that I was yelling at the game for it back in the PS1 era. It's actually quite funny that they amass all these ridiculous stats and then they single-handedly ignore them whenever it suits the AI.
And if that's not enough and as if they are STILL afraid the user would abuse the (non-existing) speed advantage, they've added the stumble animation which ads insult to injury.
The philosophy behind this beats me...
