Looking forward to getting the demo in my hands soon.

Depends on the team Matt. As Bilbao against Juve I couldn't get the ball to Munian or Aduriz. The space was that tight around them.

Haven't got to demo yet because of FIFA but will tonight. Despite the positive feedback, I'm taking the cautious approach. I hate to be that guy but I feel a lot of us are always happy with the demo then only to be let down by the retail version.

Just played the demo for the first time - seriously how on earth can people even compare this to FIFA. The animations are horrible and ball physics way off!


I don't get it! It feels and looks like a game from 1998.


It's FIFA 15 for me this year! By far! So disappointed with PES 2015 and really don't understand why it's so poor in every way.. Jeez!

Come on really, player models look better than FIFA IMO.

I used to be a diehard Winning Eleven fan. Played the crap out of WE7 way back in the day. I tired the demo for PES14 on PS3 just to see what it offered after playing boatloads of FIFA14 (both xBox360 & xb1).

I have played a fair amount of FIFA15 on xb1 in the last 7 days, so I can't help but compare the two.

The demo for PES15 on xb1 is just strange, not sure how to put it into words without sounding like a FIFA zealot (I like FIFA quite a lot, but it's not without it's fare share of issues each iteration).

PES15 looks like a slightly improved last generation (PS3.5 let's call it) version of a game. The graphics don't look very "next gen'ish" at all. Maybe it was just the combo of stadia + time of day, but the first match I played was extremely washed out looking. Everything was just too bright. The player models look a tad thick. Visually not what I'd expect at all out of a next gen title.

The gameplay is very slow/methodical compared to FIFA15 (which could be a good thing)......but the players feel like they are running on "rails", like you can only move 8 directions. The fluidity is nowhere close to FIFA15. Everything feels clunky. I will fully admit I am very unfamiliar with the controls in PES, so that could be a potion of the problem.

I'll try to play a few matches before completely writing this game off, but so far if I rated FIFA15 a 9/10 this would be a 5/10. Very unimpressed to say the least.

Not crazy about this demo. Right from the start, the ball physics were sluggish, the player animations just felt...well...sluggish. Graphically, the lighting on close up replays were pretty sweet but the overall game play view was not good and made the turf appear washed out. The game's graphics are tighter and crisper than it's predecessor, but it does not feel look like a next gen game to me, just a whole lot more sharpened version. I think I expected way too much.

I agree! PES player models are top notch close up, but FIFA's player models look pretty sweet from far away, because you can definitely tell the distinct differences in the height and size of the players. PES 2015 does not do a good job of that :-(

Exactly! It's just feels poor and unrealistic in a special way that reminds me of a very old footy game..


No matter how much I try to love the PES 2015 demo - I just can't...
