Playing the demo. Feels just as scripted as ever, especially on Super Star. The animations are much prettier and more fluid, but sluggish tackling and passing, incredibly lazy/stupid friendly AI (especially when receiving passes) + typical arcade-style dribbling and perfect control for every...

Played a bunch more. Still don't like switching at all and AI dribbling is infuriating. Like the dynamic throws, not sure what to make of the weight system, wish I could turn replays off. Having come to grips with the passing system and teammate movement, I've discovered that through balls...

No Rose (Villa) Park? :^/

Played several more games now. Off-the-ball movement and passing range seem to be the biggest pros, as far as gameplay goes. Several important cons, though, most of which are expounding on what I mentioned earlier after first play. Player switching, regardless of settings and method, is...

Just played my first match, Bayern vs United. Looks great for a demo, plays quite well as far as passing game and movement, excellent animations, can actually employ different styles of football and see them playing out. Players feel unique when under player control and it's a nice challenge...

Like the 2nd demo less than the 1st. Only played a couple games so far, but opposition dribbling is still unstoppable on TP and SS, speed in general feels a bit off, passing and tackling don't feel crisp enough, and the referees appear to be total rubbish. Four yellows and two straight reds for...

Oh god, infuriating to pull off there, yes, but absolutely SCREAMS exploitable. The animation the keeper enters when executed correctly means it's almost certainly an unstoppable script once triggered. Going to be satan online, as will that knuckle ball shot.

They'll still be there, mostly in the hidden players you have to unlock. They'll just have goofy fake names that are a letter or three different from their actual names. Dem Pira, Gasuto, Drobgar, et cetera.

Played a few on Professional, seemed nice, well paced. Switched to Top Player, all the old PESisms came out. Rubbish keepers spilling balls everywhere, players completely missing easy 50-50s, infinite pathetic mistakes, untouchable AI dribbling, stat-defying catch up, et cetera. Haven't tried...

Ashley Young will probably be improved now that he's moved to United. They need to change his growth curve while they're at it. He's always been Early/Lasting, but he's 26 now and isn't declining, so they need to switch him over to Standard or give him a double peak. I hope some of our youth...

Much, much better in almost every way. Only three negatives stick out at the moment: 1. So-called "reverse catchup bug" seems to make ANY player, regardless of speed and dribbling stats, uncatchable if they break the defensive line. Keepers seem much better 1v1, though, so it hasn't cost me...

I wish they'd just stick with classic PES-style electrofunk. I literally squealed with glee like a small child when I found a few tracks of that storied sonic cocaine stashed away in 2011's playlists. Think it was only enabled in modes I don't mess with, but now I have it playing in every mode...

I was just joking about Inzaghi juggling the ball at his presentation after the prorevo dude signed him in Be a Boss.

Realistic my arse. Watched the "Be a Boss" video to the end, and there is no way Pippo Inzaghi has that much technical ability! :^| :^D

Damn it, what is the PES designers' obsession with making your players attempt overhead kicks that always go into orbit when a plain ol' volley, half-volley or, even more annoyingly, a fecking header would be so much more logical? Such a long-standing problem that should be relatively easy to...

Finally got some time to really play, biggest gripe is how ridiculously good technically every single AI player is. Never a loose touch, ball glued to them, even if you manage a tackle that gets the ball (I think I'm averaging two or three a game, dribblers still react before your player even...

When the scripting kicks in, the AI always reacts the instant you press a button, while your players take virtual ages to do whatever you've told them to do. For instance, the AI will pull a feint or dummy within a microsecond of pressing the tackle button, but your player will not actually move...

Also, bring back the "openness to negotiation" search option. The current "list of targets" are virtually never young players, always players at or past their peak. I only buy players I can grow, and I'd like to have a better idea of who is worth watching before I put them on my scout list. I...

I hope they don't force us to go through with the Master League "tutorial" each time we start an ML this year. It wastes half of the first transfer window and makes us bid for a player we probably don't want and often can't afford anyway, so we miss out on most of the free agents critical to...

I do think you should be able to back out of a match before it starts without a penalty, while still in the matching and/or set-up screens. One night in MLO, I got stuck playing the same guy over and over, but as there's no option to decline an opponent, after the third or fourth time, I just...
