Hi guys,
So I just registered on these forums to share my demo impressions with you guys. First off, I've played Fifa my whole life. Basicly got every single copy of fifa since 2000. Since 2009 where I got my first Next-gen console I've always followed the new titles of fifa and pes. Fifa was always better for me because what mattered for me was proper animations and licenses. But since the reveal of Fifa 2012 and Pes 2012 I've realized how much PES improved from Pes 2011 while seeing that Fifa 2012 looks almost the same as 2011 I was deeply dissapointed.
In the end I realized that I couldn't play proper football with fifa. When I downloaded the demo of Pes 2012 I was so amazed! The presentation it self caught my eyes at first glimps. There are a lot of things that Fifa misses presentation wise. The entrances are far superior to Fifa's and the camera angle plus the lightings make the gameplay feel like real life.
Untill this day I've always thought that PES has had robotic animations. Now Konami has either got proper animations this time around or I'm just blind because I'm caught by the game. I swear that I can't go back to my fifa 11. I don't even know if this is a good thing.
There are lots of things that just looks spot on. But the most important one for me is the slow paced gameplay. It's wonderful to be able to build up your own chances. You have more time to make decisions where as in Fifa you'd barely have time to decide resulting you to constantly pass the ball forward.
As the good things are undescribable there are unfortunately some unpleasing stuff with the gameplay. The ball physics are not good enough. They are not terrible or anything but they could have been better. While you still can score from every single place which I highly appreciate because of fifa's scripted shooting system, the ball physics can look very awkward every now and then. Although mostly for passing. The player animations for long passes are just not right thus making it look very awkward when making long passes.
Another thing is the goalkeepers. I want to start mentioning that there are certain places where the goalkeepers are far more realistic than fifa's goalkeepers. The fact that goal keepers can parry in PES is awesome, but they do it very often. I know it can be very hard to balance it right, but I just hope they don't make a step back with the next demo seeing as they mentioned the GKs in their latest news. I think it is realistic that the goal keepers are more unreliable in this one because in fifa, when you make these canon shots the goal keeper will catch the ball which makes it look VERY unrealistic.
I don't wanna make this post very long although there is one more things I wanna point out. The AI is also superior to Fifa's AI. I like the AI so much in PES besides one thing. I find it very annoying to play against Milan in top player because they can just run past me everytime with their Robinho. :angry:
From the looks of the trailers the new game modes look promising. I can't wait to enjoy the Champions league with my Real Madrid
Agree/Disagree with what I've said, critize the points you disagreed with and lets have some nice discussions about the game. One I thing I'm just frightening is, if Konami will be making a step back with their 2nd demo upgrade.
