Got mine! Not option filed it yet but caning Everton three nil (even by default, its good of them to choose less obscure team names) was boss - all different goals, even a long shot. It's less straightjacketed, more fluid.
The physics are better, the ball especially. Past PES I would say was a bit scripted, yknow? Sort of.. You could predict it, especially against the AI. Now the ball is very very realistic, and you can't just bang one tactic every time.
If you want to play mates then I see why you'd get FIFA but if you want a beautiful game of realistic football you're kidding yourself if you don't play PES.
Might be nerdy for a Satdee night but I am going to get the right kits and logos sorted. Adds so much! Happy to slag off the interface and all that, though it helps if you think Back = Save, but as soon as the whistle goes - when you remove commentary! - this is utterly sublime.
Put a dozen or more hours into the demo (remember I posted a crack to customise the match time) and from the full version, I'm absolutely loving it.
As a total package? Pretty good, flawed, a bit behind the times, a bit not mass market
As a game of footie replicated in video game form? My fav in years. Years. Probably since Sensible Soccer 2006
