PES 2016 Demo Available Now on Xbox One and PlayStation 4

[fearwhatnow]

I'm amazed there are still some people here that will buy a sports videogame while the devs don't even implement basic rules of the sport.

Really, that did not stop people from buying FIFA for many years.

Ball physics and A.I. are still major issues.

No pass and shot variety, way too sharp and laser esque. Off ball players seem to have no understanding of basic tactical movement whatsoever.

Anyone know if you can play this demo online against others?- I'm on U.S.- Xbone

Yep, and this demo is getting near universal praise. No reason for Konami to change anything. People love it because it's fast and it's easy to score goals. Even saw a review on Pesfan saying that it's more fun because there aren't annoying fouls to slow down the flow.

This game will more than likely get slightly better reviews than last year from IGN etc, but for those of us who play hundreds and hundreds of matches throughout the year, it'll get old quick like Pes 2015.

Some of the comments in here are shocking and show a lack of knowledge about the game of football.

I wont pick out specific users or comments because id hope they are aware of what they are saying, if not they are here to troll.

Anyway, with regards to the fouls, I agree it has been toned down, although ive drawn probably 1 every other game... not enough, but they happen, so its a case of tightening up the ref, but not too much as the game flows nicely right now.

Is it perfect to represent the game? Of course not, nothing ever will be its a computer game that relies on code, however its the best by a long shot in terms of gameplay that we have had for a long time. Plenty of variety so far for me, a few niggles here and there, but you get a good game of football that you can by and large control, which will do me for now.

It is a lot of fifa fan boys. I follow these guys from the FIFA sliders page. Saying there are no passing differences in this game but in FIFA you can NEVER curl a pass to your guys running down the flank. Just interesting to see different opinions. Also a lot of complaints about AI movement off the ball which is so much better than FIFA. I never had a player make a run in FIFA ever and the defense were as dumb as bricks. I play with fluid formation a little and can get solid defensive results on PES.

The game could certainly use some more error in the way of passes/shots to make them less accurate for the CPU but I haven't seen some of the glaring AI deficiencies 2015 had in the way of defending. Good CBs like Varane, Chielieni, Silva, etc... do their job at commanding the back and cleaning up messes.

On offense, deep lying middies like Pirlo, Bastian, etc... always show or create an outlet. They're just a lot slower and dynamic on the ball so you have to be careful to get caught out.

It has some FIFA-like default characteristics but the pace is still slower.

People have been spamming Bhatti & officialpes on twitter about fouls so the average user isn't that enamored with that aspect.

IF fouls are fixed and the ML/MyClub/Edit Mode updates are what they say they are then it should get better reviews.

From what I can so far, team tactics actually work but I need to do some more testing.
