Game Feels Too Light

[The_whisper]

Does the game feel lighter compared to earlier iterations?
I know it should be, to some extent, due to more freedom and all that, but it IS very light imo and needs to weight up.

light? as in easy? or as in twisted gravity? or what?

Light as in twisted gravity...rigidity of the players...friction blah blah blah

PS3 definitely light, on PC (Dual core, 2mb Ram, 22" monitor, Radeon HD 2600 GT) the game feels stunning. I don't know how I can go back and play it on the PS3 now to be honest.

Which is fucking gutting to be honest because one of the reasons I invested in a 50inch plasma was to play games like this in all its glory.....in front of the monitor it is for me!

Invest to a hdmi or vga-cable to your PC->plasma telly, problem solved

I played some 2011 at the PC->telly, but had to go back to my trusty monitor in the end..
I've just got so used to staring the screen from few centimeters away at the edge of my seat, that the transition to a couch and a few meters to the telly was just too big a culture shock to me

I'll have to try it, but right now am more than happy, like you, to be at my monitor playing this stunner. Honestly if only people knew what they were missing, I'd rayte the PS3 version a 7.5/10 with all things considered, and I have played it on there for weeks and weeks and weeks. I'd give the game a 9/10 on the PC, seriously it's that good. Maybe it's just my setup that I haven't got a brilliant graphics card but I'm loving it the way it is, by hook or by crook I think I've found the perfect game lol!

And this takes me back to the days when I'd be caning Championship Manager and SWOS....oh the memories, I loved that fucking game. Those little pixellated dudes brought me so much joy. I remember perfecting the lofted banana shot from the halfway line on snow....what games!!!

it feels light yes, its the first thing I noticed when I played the 1st demo, the players have little weight to them. Also this could be because of the speed of the game as well.

I would say 'light' and airy in that the players seem to move on air for their first step when playing on 0 speed. If you move your L stick in a quick counterclockwise motion your defender almost hovers in a tight circle (front left, back, right) when facing the ball. Lateral movement much too fast - defender move sideways almost as fast as forward.

I noticed when two players get locked arm in arm when both chasing the ball - use super cancel and it breaks you away from the opposition
The dazed stumble animation is gone from 2011 (ding dong the wicked witch is dead) but this year you just stumble onto the ground and lie there for a good count. But the falling animations are superb - I even saw a player extend one arm to the ground and maintain his balance. But I don't feel like a lighter collision causes a stumble to happen. You can stumble and even remain upright and continue on with the ball. nice animation.

If by "light" you mean less responsive, then yes.

Sometimes I feel my players are slow compared to pes2011. Maybe that's how they wanted it.

I can't seem to be aggressive in this game when pressing and I also can't land a successful slide tackle. It feels less physical and therefore "light".

actually your thought is exactly opposite what I expect anyone to say. PES2012 has much more responsive and faster players to me; the problem is too fast and to responsive (that being they float).
