More comments about demo. This time after 10-15 games.
Keepers seem to keep their level pretty well. Mistakes from time to time but that is only realistic. Really like the improvements on that section (just some improving on crosses needed).
Dribbling tweaks seems good. Never liked the dribbling speed on (not edited) 08 version. Now back to older pes style where defenders are slightly faster than attacker with the ball (at least when not some really skilled player like Ronaldo or Robinho). Pulled some nice tricks with keyboard, so roulette is now doable again for me (useful? maybe not )
Passing is better though it looks less realistic. Long passes now seem to have target more often than in 08, no more passes that go over the sideline so often.
Ball is lighter for sure. It feels weird when used to old versions, but I cant say it is not realistic or bad. Seems to work quite well.
Problems:
Yes, game isn't perfect. The worst thing I have discovered is referee. So many brilliant sliding tackles have end up for getting card or even penalty shot for opponents. I dont think Konami managed to copy that from Rob Styles... Really needs some improvements. It doesn't stop you from playing but may test your nerves from time to time.
Then other problem, pretty suprising, is lack of ability to control goalkeeper. Even when keeper saves to ball and holds it, you dont get control over him. Nor you get control when you pass him (at least with not assisted player switch). No keeper control option in control settings anymore either. I hope there is change or option for this in full game, I dont trust AI that much.
These are the most inconsistent reviews ever.
We have people slating the graphics and people praising the graphics.
I think it's going to be a bit like Marmite.
A lot of the people who have not liked it seem to prefer FIFA which I just can't seem to enjoy so I'm willing to bet I'm going to enjoy PES'09.
Good point there. I couldn't get into the FIFA demo at all so here's to PES2009.
I hate FIFA, I only download it,as Ive said before, to play the loading screen. I suppose, I try to play Pro on FIFA. If you know what I mean?
Fanboy, no question... i think he has slated PES on other threads as well
Starting to get rather confused with the reviews..one person saying the game is great and another saying its bad..
