You and me must have a -1 correlation in that regard because I am just beginning this fascination.

Downloaded on PC yesterday. Bought a Logitech gamepad today and am downloading my first mod ever right now!

Haven't seen you in a while Matt how you been? What do you think of the demo?

Don't worry, I will probably get back into it full scale once released. I have a fairly new rig and vid card - just have to get the gumption to install the mods that I've downloaded

You will enjoy this ride - and never look back, man. Evo-Web is a close second to OS for me.

Ol' Royce - how are you. I am well, itching to get PES 13 so I can continue Matteo's journey; FIFA just isn't cutting it; it is wayy too easy in BAP mode.

I love the PES 13 demo, it is fantastic. The player movements off the ball, the different animations. The overall feel of passes and shooting is just sublime. I think the new management are going back to appreciating the older PES (PES 5/6) and working their way towards the list of what made those versions so incredible.

Just like everyone though, I am hoping full retail version is just as on par as the demo is.

Well I hit the brakes on the modding right away lol. I'm getting too many malware warnings from all the links I'm trying to download from and I'm totally wussing out lol.

Lol. Don't worry about that - most of the modders use different links to get affiliate points for themselves. They get $$ for links clicked; not much - but enough to balance out the lack of donations.

Don't let a virus scanner prevent you from enjoying the game thoroughly!

Matt,

Does that mean you are in the same boat as me and may only get 1 soccer game this year?

I'd love to say so, but FIFA for the PC really had some shining moments for me. If they can change the ball physics, increase the field size, change dribbling head bobbing animation - FIFA would come to a very close second imho.

With that said, PES 13's gameplay is absolutely stunning so far. It's amazing how natural the runs off the ball look like a true soccer game. The best part is you know the devs will improve the defense with that much running off the ball occurring - it just has to happen.

When it comes down to it...I am hoping for some "little" things.

Example...

I really like being able to sort players by particular stat/rating. If I'm looking for a big CB, I wanna be able to sort by Height or Jumping or Balance, etc.
The fact that I couldn't on 2011 is just ridiculous.

It would be AWESOME if my ENTIRE ML SIDE did not get called up for Internationals. I'm not kidding. All but 2-3 of my guys get called up EVERY time. The best part...I signed 2 scrubs from my youth team, a 70 rated GK, and a LOW 40s MF...and they both were called up for duty. smh. Trying to field a side when nearly every player is fatigued and in poor form is just annoying.

I also hope away form is a little better. I like that it is tougher to win on the road, but I shouldn't look at my squad when we're on a 5, 7 plus game unbeaten streak, and find them all with blue and purple arrows just because we had to travel across the wide open expanse of Germany... and it happens with virtually every away game. I do like that it makes you adjust your tactics and adapt...but I think it is a little over-done.

I'd also like some return on my investment in my youth team. I have a max scout and max investment, but have not received anything but dudes in the 40s for two years. Oh, wait...Castolo...he's there at 59, looking like a giant among men on my youth squad lol. But after my first year, when investment was much lower, I wound up with 6 players worth calling up (not counting Palmieri-the-legend). I don't get it...


I will agree that the game on the pitch is the most important thing...but some of these little things are a little off-putting. Especially things like sortable searching...
