I missed the cinematic comment, you're right. I just don't understand what that has to do with saturation and color palette choices that could be made.

You know, after talking about this for the past bit, I fired up the demo to take another close look. And I have to say I have a really tough time getting past the whole dreary feel of the game. Maybe it has to do with other issues I have, like the ball sound being way too loud, and the cut scenes of players robotically walking around between whistles with their arms glued to their sides.

I'm knowledgable enough to know the gameplay is worth the tradeoff. But that's a lot for most gamers to overcome. People will gravitate towards FIFA simply because there's so much more life and energy in the game, visually and so forth. That's how most gamers define a "fun" game these days... certainly ever since the birth of the console and the subsequent death of the sim gamer, lol.

Check this out new demo patch I haven't tried it yet but it looks cool.

Agree. I don't think Sim gamers are on the brink of extinction lol. Good sports video games must always have a good balance between sim/fun factor/casual. If they were 100% sim, the only ones who could play them would be people who practice the sport in real life, and even only the professional athletes (in this case Football players).

Nice. Jenkey's mod looks sweet, Khai's is an excellent alternative too.

A reminder... Let's do our best to keep impressions threads free of comparisons or debates. While I understand a comparison might be useful or even necessary to make a specific point, general or sweeping comparisons have no place in an impressions thread.

How is the gameplay seem with these extra teams, any impressions?

[aloncho11]

I find some teams play better to their true counterparts than others, like Juventus and Bayern for example. They play like they do in real life.

Others like Inter are okay. Barca can always be better, I believe Klashman did a fantastic edit for them for PES 2012.
