The thought alone is awe inspiring.

The skin textures and player faces in particular need serious work. Every time the cam cuts to a closeup of the players after a goal etc. I literally cringe, it's that distracting. And yes, the colors are very drab and I can't understand that choice either. That at the very least would be easy to fix it seems to me, just intensify the color palette they're using in the game. The demo does say it doesn't necessarily represent how the final product will look, so here's hoping.

It's a matter of opinion really, to me PES graphics are more realistic than Fifa's. Fifa player models look like action figures and when you see them playing on the pitch from a 3rd person pov, it looks in fact like a videogame, unlike PES which looks like the real thing.

The fact that one get's used to Fifa doesn't mean that they set the bar when it comes to graphics and presentation. And speaking about presentation, Konami has it's own style. They have opted for a more desaturated cinematic look and feel (Much like Madden, NCAA) as opposed to the pop colors used in Fifa. The thing about the menus is the same, they have opted for a more stylish minimalistic style. They certainly aren't the best menus, but they make the cut.

I'll go with FIFA's player models all week long over PES' blocky, square-shouldered, arms-hanging-like-rope player models. And if one placed comparison shots of both games beside the real thing, I'm guessing FIFA's over-saturated colors would look closer to life-like. Colors in life are not as dull and dead as they are in PES. It's not really something people come to prefer, one over the other. On every PES site, gamers talk about PES' sub-par graphics and presentation, and they put up with it each year because it's PES after all. It's understood PES has been way behind the curve for years now with their graphics/presentation package.

I think you misunderstood me, I'm saying that PES opted for that cinematic look, much like EA did with NCAA and Madden which have a similar (desaturated) look and feel.

I disagree on the player models; I could mention some characteristic Fifa player models body parts too... I guess it's a matter of preference

Agree. Pes over FIFA anyday.

I've been loving the demo and to me everything feels free with loose balls, bad bounces for or against. The thing I like with PES is the individuality with the players especially the star players compared to the scrubs. I will be getting PES for sure and probably Fifa as well but it will be hard to beat PES's gameplay in my opinion. I love the pace and fluidity of the game it really looks and feels nice.
