I played 10 more games last night.
I don't want to throw the gloom blanket over, but I was less impressed after the initial excitement of playing the Demo for the first time on Wednesday. Graphically it looks very much like last gen. Certainly not enough Next Gen content. On PS4 the colours and light are not very accurate - everything looks overexposed and with some teams, the numbers on the back of players' shirts are indistinguishable. But my biggest gripe is the player models - they just look too small, squashed and samey. I tried all sort of camera views and whilst the game looked better on some cameras, it's still too similar to PS3 and miles behind FIFA 15 graphically. I hope Konami address this before final release, but I doubt they can do a lot with player models.
My other concern is the lack of urgency in the game. It just feels as if players don't care somehow. Difficult to put into words, but it's something to do with the running animation and the bodies not tilting forward when sprinting. Also, when you are trying to break, it lacks that excitement of the counter attack exploding. Granted that I still have to get used to the controls and ways to explode, I just can't get excited about counter attacks. Again, I think FIFA does this much better.
The last thing I would add is that when you execute a through pass, the intended recipient cannot change the trajectory or running. So you are stuck in a linear mode.
No question - it is miles better than PES 14 (it would be hard not to be). Shooting is definitely better, CPU build up is great and generally it is more fluent and tight - both in terms of animations and controls. But it is far from being a finished article.
I also experienced the crashing as reported by others. It happened during the team selection screen and it forced me to shut down the PS4 by unplugging the cable (the PS4 was stuck on the shut down screen fro ages).
