Why PES 2013 programmers may be racist
Pro evolution soccer is the best soccer game on the planet (for me at least), I’ve been a fan since 2001, playing the Japanese imports which were called Winning eleven on my PlayStation one and even though I didn’t understand the instructions which were written in Japanese, I was still able to navigate through it, talk about tenacity huh? Fast forward to 2013, and I’m still deriving hours of fun from it plotting strategies, pulling of ridiculous elasticos (term for a kind of dribble) and conquering championships repeatedly, so on a lazy Sunday while I was ‘juicing up’ my players by increasing ability setting (that’s right I’m a cheat ), I noticed something rather interesting and intriguing and so began my journey into some backyard research which lead me to believe that the programmers of Pro evolution soccer may just be racist.

Importance of ability settings
Ability settings in PES 2013 is very crucial to the success of a team, these settings range from varying abilities of the player like speed, dribble accuracy, attack awareness. It is so crucial that if a good player increases key abilities of just 3 players he can transform an otherwise terrible team to a top class team.
That is where I noticed that the ability called teamwork which has a range from 0 to 99 is rather low among African teams; this meant that the individual players had low teamwork which obviously means that the team would have low overall teamwork ratings. Why is this important? It is because teamwork can ultimately be translated to team intelligence, and without intelligence….well you know the rest.

Why teamwork means team intelligence
Teamwork is the ability for a player to link up with other players and receive passes like a through ball, overhead pass or a one-two pass, these all require clever or intelligent movements among your players and it would be impossible to control all the players at once with the level of precision needed to pull clever passes off, hence the need for it to be sometimes automated, so if players can’t link up properly the team doesn’t function intelligently as a collective unit.

Findings
I got a pen and paper and did a little research, comparing three random teams from 3 different continents, so I took the teamwork ability of the default setting of random players and did an average of their overall team work to get the team intelligence rating;

Continents------Team 1----Team 2------Team 3-------Total
African --------- 61--------- 63--------- 64--------- 188
Asian --------- 70--------- 69--------- 72--------- 211
European --------- 77--------- 82--------- 80--------- 239



Why is it racist?
One of the beliefs of racists is that blacks or Africans are of lower intelligence, I just find it suspicious that the African teams are the lowest on the totem pole of team intelligence especially when comparing more successful teams like Ghana in Africa against a lesser known Bosnia in Europe.
The ability settings you might think are done randomly and only top named players are given special attention by the programmers, but I found a pattern where the African teams consistently registered lower numbers in this category, which leads me to believe that there might be some thought by the programmers put into the it.

Conclusion
Don’t boycott the game just yet, the methodology used for this crude lazy Sunday research is lacking at best (I have to admit it), and further research must be done on this to have more a reliable study.
And the next you battle through a very close game with you losing out, just remember your team may have a lower overall teamwork rating and that can be a huge advantage.

Pes 13 was garbage by the Way

Bro stop living in the Past it's all about Fifa now

Pes hasn't been great since Playstation 2

Sorry if i had to burge into this tread. I've got a playstation 3 super slim 12gb which is very neat for sale and it will be going with fifa 12 and 1 other game. Price is 38k negotiable though. Text me on 08139164654

Quite honestly, do u actually believe our african teams have teamwork...isn't team work team chemistry? If it is then i agree whole heartedly. The asian u complain aba actually stay home to play in the leagues and train together for long. The only team with enough team chemistry is zambia and long ago....egypt. Not even my black stars or the super eagles have enuff of teamwork...jux a team of individually gud players. I do agree some of their rating can be piss poor but in a way, their right on the mark. I see no racism here.

well,Thanks for your own contributions(cant wait to hear from PES Fans)

seconded ... African champ league is below par ... If you're a star off to Europe when you're needed you'll be called . Have you noticed that most spanish first 11 play in spain ? Same with England , Germany ... There is no argument here ... The rating might be poor but teams play together for a long time to gel not 1 month training bro !
