No problem. Makes sense . . .

Yeah, speed in every video game kills. Pisses me off. I'm not saying it doesn't kill in real life, but you do need other attributes to go with it. Otherwise, players like Victor Obinna wouldn't be out on loan so often (yes, I know he's young, just it was the first name that came to mind).

Don't know what to say. there are now two brilliant soccer game to buy this year.

PES now has it's whole act together in a way that's reminiscent of the franchises glory days.

Running animation etc look great gam,eplay is as good as its ever been.

Just don't know what to say.

Why is there only 2 camera choices in the demo? I like to play using the pro cam/verticle. I like what I see so far even with the bad camera setting. I'm liking it more than FIFA - which I'll prob pass on this year and stick to PES11.

I agree. I wasn't going to get Fifa because I think PES is better based on the demos but I am getting both. I will mostly use Fifa to play the Online clubs mode I think but no harm in getting both

PES is back this year in a big way and I am happy to see it.

I was kinda lost at first. I'm so used to playing Pro Cam, it had me messed up. Now I'm actually liking the default cam, it makes the pitch look so much bigger. I'll still go back after the game drops, but it is nice to be able to play from the sideways view now. I'm gonna get both, but I'll probably wait until Christmas for Fifa, I want to spend some serious PES and NBA2k time first. Fifa will be Fifa....

I hear ya Brian, it's still pretty good playing horizontal - you got me into playing the Pro Cam a few years back and that's the only way I go now - it adds so much more to the game. I'll probably wait on FIFA till around Christmas also.

So I did the Euro account thing a few days ago and.... I CAN'T STOP PLAYING THIS DEMO. It just feels like you can create things that you see on a real football pitch. I played Fifa for the past two years and it always felt the same. No variety in gameplay/goals, and I always felt like it forced me to play the way the game wanted so I could win. With PES, I can go out and play a real possession game with Barca, or work the ball through the wings with Bayern. Not to take shots at FIFA because it is a solid game, just a little tired of it. (With that said I'll probably be picking it up a little further in the year. It's soooo smooth.)

Another thing is the difference with the players. It really feels like I'm controlling them. I can twist and turn, then distribute with Xavi in the midfield. Iniesta's close control is insane. You actually see Olic working his *** off, harassing defenders in their own half. Ribery, Robben, Messi terrorize and take on defenders on the wing, cut in, etc. That might of went on longer than necessary, but I'm just loving this game.

One thing that needs to be fixed is the defense, all too often a defender just watches a throughball go right past him.

It's way too easy to control the game from an offensive standpoint.

Keep in mind, i've been playing the demo against long time pes players, not the cpu.

If this game had the defence, shooting, and camera angles of WE9, it would be the best EVER.
