They make files for the USA as well?

They do indeed.

Newest thing I'm noticing/enjoying: defending CPU counter-attacks is now realistic. In PES 2013, when the CPU would counter-attack, 99% of the time they would either carve up your defense with unrealistic pin-point through balls or they would run right into one of your defenders and give the ball away. Now you can actually hold them back and force them to build-up reasonably. It is dependent on how good your team is, though, obviously.

How are the differences of playing style between teams? Kreb are you going to be editing the team's playing style profiles like you did for FIFA? I'm digging this demo.

Fouls are totally fine, BTW. I just drew 3 fouls in literally 1 minute. All by luring the defender in, then kicking the ball ahead and drawing contact. You could play 1,000 games of FIFA and maybe get fouled like that 1 time. In PES 2014 is just a matter of whether you want fouls to be a part of the game. If you want back-and-forth arcade action, then you can play it that way and you'll see 0 fouls. If you want to play realistically and attempt to foul and be fouled, you can do that too.

Yeah, I've been getting fouled plenty. I don't really see that as an issue.

I've seen some fouling, but I haven't seen one where the defender jumps into a forward when a long ball is played in. That is such a common foul and seem like one that could definitely be incorporated given the physics and heading already in the game.

Some realistic fouls that I've seen occur when playing a low direct ball into my forward during a hold up play. The CPU will try to get in front of the forward or slide through the forward in order to win the ball, but instead the play results in a foul.

What is really awesome is how different games feel. There will be games where the CPU will be quite easy to pass around while other times it feels like the game is stuck in a midfield battle. As a result there are times where zero fouls, but others with 3 or 4.

There is a chance.
