I personally find it samey but more challenging which is a good thing. Wouldn't say there's much if any difference with the graphics, this may be due to me not being able to find my glasses. Nevertheless I'll buy it.
Downloading PES11, I'm interested to see what they have to offer.
Quite right.
The gameplay is very similar, just smoother and a touch more responsive. The graphics and lighting look nice in-game though which is always a positive. The gameplay feels a bit too fast though, and would be great if it was slowed down by a notch or maybe two. So all in all, it's a smoother and nicer experience but does feel like it's a bit too fast.
Also, the penalty system is broken so that needs to be fixed. I'm not quite sure what they've done but it's pretty confusing. The CPU beat me 1-0 during the end of game penalty shootout, with every other shot going very wide.
The menu systems seem a bit too similar though, especially the formation menus, they're almost identical. The gameplay is the case of "don't fix what's not broken" but the menus should always be updated and changed somewhat just to feel fresher. The formation and strategy options seem quite limited and lacklustre as usual compared to PES.
