I think most people's opinions on the game comes from the PC demos and from the early version which can be downloaded for the Xbox.
Now, obviously the early Xbox version (which is from early september) is uncomparable since it is far from finished. But considering it quite resembles the PC demos (that are newer in date) in some aspects (high through balls are the new lower faster type which suck imho, for example) I find it valid for general gameplay comparisons. But of course we will all have to wait for the final retail versions to hit the stores untill anything conclusive can be said. As stated by people there even seems to be some differences between the 2 PC demos released (one without commentary and one more recent with commentary) so alot can happen in little time. Usually demos are made from a finished version and doesn't differ from the final product at all, but in this case it seems to be different.
Sorry to cause envy with you Euro guys, but contrary to what you believe the full retail version of PES5 is indeed available in some regions. Afterall, most of your stores already have copies of the game in stock, and are only sitting on them till the 'official' release date.
Over here, stores have no qualms about moving copies. How they got them is anybody's guess, since traditionally PES5 is not released here. Copies do come available but usually after the Euro release. This year they've been fast, and are going like hotcakes, since not many went for WE9 (coz the need to patch and such).
So take my word for it, I am playing the full retail version. I dont have a PC to take pics and prove it, and I wouldn't care too anyway.
I have it, and I'm playing it and I'm willing to share some info for you guys that are interested. For those detractors, just twiddle ur thubms and wait till the 21st then
Cheers.
