PES 2014 Demo Available Now For 360, PS3 - Post Your Impressions

[EvanRG]

FIFA 13 was a great game. After initially purchasing PES, I switched over to it later in the year and still play it to this day. That said, this year's game (PES) has a very organic and realistic feel to it.

It's not as responsive as FIFA 14, but in a way, that adds a weight and feel that has never been duplicated in any other sports game. I'm in a weird predicament. I still really enjoy the product that EA put out there. The FIFA demo feels a lot more action packed and arcady, but PES is something special this year. The computer AI is splended and the ball physics are wonderful.

I've never been a fan of buying both games, but FIFA has the licenses and good gameplay with sliders. PES has the realistic, organic feel that is more of a simulation. I could end up waiting and grabbing both. Am I crazy? Perhaps, but what a great predicament we soccer fans find ourselves in with video games.

My .02. I've been a PES fan since PES3, it was the first one that I bought for the PC. So I downloaded the PS3 version, and have to echo those who say the thing was just so goddamned unresponsive. It already had 2 strikes going against it with the lack of a stadium editor and no weather (plus EA bloodied them up, figuratively with the exclusivity of Spanish sides). And no PS4 release. I'm used to having a choice to play in nearly 70 stadia and now I only have 20?

Somebody pull me off the ledge and say this is a game worth buying when I have PES13 PC still revved up and giving me joy.

I buy both every year on console and PC (Am I crazy???). I like and dislike certain aspects to each game. I never get bored throughout the year when it comes to footy games, especially with all the mods available on PC.

I also loved the game, for the first time in years i noticed an improvement with this game. i really like every aspect of this game. i will be canceling my fifa pre-order and add that cash to the PES.

my only concern is the edit part. that is i have no idea how this is going to work.

do you do any kind of patches on this game; and if you do where is the safest place to download.

I love how hard passing is this year. Comparing '14 and '13 on 1 bar of pass assist is like night and day. Hell, on 0 bars last year it was way way too easy to keep possession put the ball in the exact right place.

I think part of it was there was assistance both on the pass itself and on the player you were passing it too. They would always put themselves in the perfect position to receive the pass. With this year's "tru ball tech" and "MASS," I think ball movement, and player reaction to it, seems more organic and less automatic.

i'm pleased with the demo. i think it will be better once they fix those little details.

Thanks for this. However...
It's Theo Walcott - arguably the fastest player in the game. Also it does not say what difficulty it is on. Not saying it's not true, just mentioning some caveats.
