As a long time PES fan who converted to FIFA after the shambles that was PES 2008 this is probably the most I've enjoyed a PES title since the glory days of PES 5 & 6. Just finding it hard to shake off my FIFA habits in terms of the way I play and the controls.

Oh Konami, you still haven't bothered to improve the presentation all that much it seems. Still at its dodgy best. Oh well, as long as it plays well, that all that's ever mattered to me. Maybe I've been getting to used to FIFA's more professional presentation.

Completely agree with this but I have never had problem adjusting with the controls, always been fine when changing from game to game.

PES have never been good with presentation but I've never expected that. Although I don't like how you can't view the players stats all at once, I really liked that with the old PES'.

Looking to buy this from Play-Asia. Comes out in US on 27th Sept and looking to buy that version. Does anyone else know if it will be delivered by then?

You'll probably get it a few days later, still be out earlier though.

Found that link, think I'll do the same.

I guess what I meant was the differences in gameplay between PES and FIFA. It's like I have to relearn how to play the game entirely. Plus one thing in terms of the actual controls is on FIFA I used L1 a lot when I received a pass to control the ball which is different to PES. Little things like that.

Just played 2 games against a mate of mine who hasn't really played much pro evo like myself, i've had 2 extra games than him though. Beat him 2-1 then drew 0-0.

The finishing on this game seems very poor to be honest, the finishing seems way too unpredictable. Some unpredictability is decent enough but i cannot place shots to save my life. Then again, I don't know what the place button is but I should have scored, and him as well, at least 3 goals each both games. It just seems to swerve away a lot or right at the keeper.

I'm still enjoying it a lot as its much different to fifa but the finishing on fifa is 100 times better. So many shots on goal from close range should have been scored but they just swerved too much or went straight at the keeper, even if you try and aim.

Everything else I am fine with, apart from the delaying tackles. I gotta get used to it and time it a bit more but its a bit frustrating when the computer changes player and you hack down the wrong player. I'm 99% sure I'll get both games though as I feel Pro Evo is a totally different experience to fifa, just not quite as polished though.

What is the placement button anyway so I know for future and see if it actually makes a difference?

Thanks.

Oh yeah, I get what you mean. I hold down L1 out of habit after I pass it too haha.

Do you yse the manual player runs?

Finesse is R2.

I don't really have that much problem with finishing. Shoot outside the box with players like Schweinsteiger, Luiz Gustavo, Sneijder, Stankovic and Huddlestone and you're guaranteed to score some thunderbolts if you hit it right.
 
Yeah I looked for the button set-up, had a feeling it was R2/RT. I'll try that more because without it I could not score for peanuts and had to rely on Sneijder scoring 2 gems.

Thanks, pumped for both games this year.
 
Hopefully they have improved the keepers again by the time the full game comes out, still letting in a few strange goals here and there, much better than demo 1 one though.

Also hope they make it harder to score from distance too.

And my God there are some awful songs on the game.

They do seem a bit derpy at times.

Reacting late and moving weirdly. But it adds to some of the real 'wow' moments.

Almost all of my goals have kind of come from the GK being derpy and more or less stuffing it up. But that makes it better imo.

My keeper let in a goal from just past half way from an opposition free kick.
 
Damn I wrote up a big report on a game I had with my mate and a few more thoughts but bigfooty was being weird this morning. Ah well, I like how keepers can spill it on this. Wingers dominate as well.

Edit: I hate how keepers spill it now! Cesar is absolutely dreadful on this game.
 
Yeah I thought Inter was ok but it was all Eto'o and Sneijder. They seem very average now.

haha Lennon 90 what the hell were they smoking. Are chipped through balls working for you ok? They don't seem to be making the distance for me.

Should sack my team and just buy Lafferty. He was everywhere for a striker. Faster than Maicon as well apparently...

I think Lennon is so high because his physical stats are through the roof - and that's what matters for a winger. It kind of makes sense, but it's still inaccurate.

Don't play Rangers, they play long balls and crowd the midfield. You'll have much more space against Spurs.

Yeah that's the one. How do you do manual player runs?

Just played as Inter vs. Rangers on Top Player and won in stoppage time. :cool:

On another note, the menu is now playing some bloody hilarious death metal/electro autotuned song and I'm laughing my ass at it. Man, PES music was always shit, but this tops it all.
 
You push the right stick in. Hard to get them to work, my mate is pretty good at them.

Oh yeah, that song is horrid. Absolutely pathetic. The songs on the older PES' were okay, the songs on this one are just down right shit. I think I have heard one or two good ones. But that metal one is terrible, hopefully it can be turned off.
