So something I just discovered is that you can play normal (full team) matches in 3rd person (Be A Legend camera) mode. This is quite amazing!

Since I'm new to PES I'm not sure when this mode was introduced and how many people care for it, but frankly I find it really great, it's changed the complete game (the genre even) for me. From a simulation, it now feels like a 3rd person action game.

The gameplay itself is completely changed when you control a full team with this camera mode. Making judgments for things like passes, through balls, shots on goals rely more on your instinct since you can't see everything around you all the time. Often times you'll remember that there was a teammate in a certain position, and you'll make a blind pass in that direction - when it turns out your instinct as to your teammate's positioning was correct, it feels really satisfactory. Taking shots on goal is great as well. It really reminds you of being on the ground and playing for real. The whole gameplay changes and the methods that have been hardwired from years of playing FIFA/ PES are now of no use - it's almost like a completely new game.

You also finally get to see all that graphical detail while playing - and not just during replays. You can see the sun break over the stands as you run towards the goal when breaking on a fast counter. On that note, running for a counter attack feels amazing! And so does slide tackling, dribbling, jostling for a header etc. You can also hear the players shout and exclaim a lot louder when playing (see the video @ Judging whether your teammate is onside or off also becomes a lot more challenging. Winning and losing possession is exciting. I've tried to show all these gameplay moments in the video below

Have you guys tried playing a normal match in this mode? It reminds me of how I've always dreamt of a first person football game. This comes pretty damn close! It gives you that "Rocket League" feeling. Honestly speaking, it's turned the game into a completely new thing for me, it's a very different experience. Do try it out!
