I can't speak for the upcoming FIFA title but I really need to see the better side backs flying down the wings like this. That brings me to another question: I've yet to see any shots from distance from the opposition although I'm not sure Germany really plays that way. Plus, I've only played 4 short games. I would love to have had the Netherlands to play against. That would have surely revealed whether the better midfielders will shoot from distance.

Yeah Germany are not the type of team to take long shots like Portugal or Netherlands, Schweinsteiger may have a crack but they like to cross and work it into the box and mix it up. So maybe try another team, I only played a few short games as well but when I played against Portugal Nani took one long shot that went wide.

Of course, when I say tons, I simply mean more than last year. Maybe 6 or 7, which is a lot for such a short time frame. I love games with lots of stoppages because thats very realistic.

If I recall correctly when I played against Portugal they had a couple shots from distance. It doesn't help that the game is only 5 minutes either.

Fair enough but it really isn't close and I have prefered Fifa the last few years but I think that will be changing this year

Try playing against teams with players who have the "long range drive" and "long ranger" player cards. I think Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney have these, if you give them space for a shot in midfield, they should attempt them.

Good idea. I think I'll play against England and see what happens

I'm seeing a lot more CPU offsides this year.

But I honestly didn't notice a lot of fouls in the demo but I noticed the CPU actually committing little fouls here and there. I have to play again as I didn't play much matches.

I hope so...I loved the variety of game pace brought about by varying officiating tendencies. This also gave each game a potential identity of its own, as the COM really did seem to get into scrappy tangles with you as a result sometimes.

Some games, you couldn't touch anyone...others, you got away with murder. It was lovely.

For the love of god Konami, DON'T keep fiddling with the gameplay pre-release and make it worse like you did last year. If the gameplay stays the same as it plays in this demo, it's an auto-purchase for me no question. (Didn't buy 2012 so I'd love to have a PES game again on my PC.) EDIT: Well after playing this for an hour, I have to say it's a definite keeper. But it doesn't match up with FIFA as far as fun factor, for me anyway. There's something very static and drab about the game: the animations, graphics, stadium lighting, player faces and skin textures, overall color palette, etc. I guess I've turned into a graphics and presentation ho! Great to see PES is finally playable though.

Yeah, I wish Konami would up the graphics and presentation to be more lively. The colors they use are dreary and drab. The whole presentation package needs a makeover. I don't understand hpwhy they don't create a better presentation, graphics and animation package. It would be the mother of all soccer games. Can you imagine FIFA's graphics with PES gameplay!? The thought alone is awe inspiring.
