I made another account just to get this! Yes, it is awesome. I am still learning, but the passing seems easy to learn. I am on the xbox.

What moves should I know?I'd like to learn some basic ones to create space and win some one one ones. Is it basically, hold a trigger and use the R stick? Also, I guess you can not toggle autoswitch? Thats a little rough.

This game has a much better feel then FIFA to me.

What I'm also loving is the amount of "oh, dang" moments. It seems like I have a breakaway or have strung some passes together to create a good look and the CPU figures out how to stop me at the last. Not through warping or cheating, but through great defensive rotation or the keeper making a great save because he got into postion properly. I have to engage my mind to be successful on this game, I like that. Last year in this game, just like Fifa, you learned how to read the CPU team tendency and memorized an attacking strategy that was successful, more often than not. This game seems more of a chess match. Very organic, IMO.

The way the defense reacts differently according o the team you are playing with, or the player you are controlling is simply awesome. This game is going to be my addiction this year

Adriano used to be the PES God. WAY overrated, and almost impossible to take the ball from.

Has anyone had a foul called and the ref allow the play to continue? I have had some decent scoring chances messed up be cheap fouls and the ref stopping play. That would be about my only real complaint so far. The other is that I don't believe Ibrahamovic or Messi would be working that hard to get back on "D" and chase my guys to steal the ball, at least not as often as they do in the game.k

Absolutely love the new passing, love that I can't blame anyone but myself for a bad pass. The strategies seem to have more impact on the game than last year as well.

top player the past 2 years haven't been challenging enough.....it was far easier than the old PES5/6s were....How is top player level this year? is it more challenging? i'm glad the game has gotten great reviews for its gameplay, but if i'm able to consistently whip manchester united 3-1 using the likes of birmingham, renders everything useless.

hopefully, top player will be realistic AND challenging.....i've heard from some sites that a 6th difficukty level will be included in the final version...anyone hear anything regarding this?

thanks

Started having some stability issues with the 30 team mod. It would crash a little over halfway the last few matches. Found this new .exe that doesn't make you type in the teams, etc. Haven't crashed since. Gonna try the demo expander and see if everything stays stable. Also saw that there is going to be another mod next week with more/different teams. Still loving this game! Brian

Here's the link to the new .exe: http://www.pes-patch.com/category/pes-2011-demo-patches It's halfway down, the Stelios and Panos one.

Has anyone fooled around with linking moves yet?

I tinkered with it yesterday and it could be a great feature. If you can set these for the CPU players it could create some incredibly realistic option files.
