This thread here is for people that really want to know what this game plays like. I purchased the US version and I have had it for a week and a half now, played it solid. This is where I'm at...
I have installed the latest patch (1.1) and I have the US option file (MrGameTight's one) and I had a few friendlies until I had enough points to start a Master League with the original players, I'm Juventus so I wanted Pirlo, Del Piero, Pepe etc...
Now, I've been a Fifa fan since 08 because I felt that the PES series dropped off after PES6 (the last great PES in my opinion) and it felt horrible playing Fifa, wasn't right at all but I stuck with it and started to think it was ok. Fifa 9 and 10 in particular blew me away as Fifa titles go. It was great, I kept seeing what Pro Evo was like and it seemed to be getting worse. I didn't really care anymore because Fifa was keeping me occupied. Fifa 11 was ok also but didnt give me the enjoyment 10 did. Now here's the thing, Fifa 9 and 10 didnt give me anywhere near the joy that prime PES did but I thought there was a simple reason for this, I'm growing up! Of course I'm not going to be screaming at my defenders in dispair or jumping around like a loon when I clinch that all important goal... I've grown up right? WRONG!!
PES 2012 has had me acting like a child from day one!! This game is absolutely amazing, by far the best footie game I've played on next gen, maybe ever, it's that good!! As I've already said, im doing a Master League with Juventus, what an epic season im having too! I've just been dumped out of the Champions League group stage by Bayer Leverkusen, I need to win by 2 clear goals to go through on goal difference. I started the game well, scoring in the 25th minute, then I doubled my lead in the 68th. At this stage im flying, Leverkusen are going home, Ballack has gone off injured also!! Leverkusen were getting desperate and started the long ball tactic and in the 88th minute Rolfes headed home to give them advantage... I crashed out, I lost to Chelsea twice, beat Olympiakos twice and Bayer once but it wasn't enough!!
I'm currently 4th in Serie A and am in desperate need of a striker, I've just put a bid in for Higuain, Luca Toni has been in a strop all season, he's off!! Seriously though, this game is amazing, I havent grown up at all, yay!!!!!!!! Fifa could never do this to a gamer, I'm so glad I see the light. The authenticity is amazing too, the way they have champs league games during a serie A season, the way they have world player of the year, cup comps the lot... I LOVE PES 2012. PES 2012 = RETURN OF THE KING!!!!!
