It still suffers from the same problem as last year, the CPU team just never fouls you. Its incredibly annoying having to deal with football games having 2 or 3 fouls if that all game

Has the demo been freezing for you guys on PS4? I've had it a few times now.

Yeah, it's not bothering me much with the demo...only because I'm giving Konami the benefit of the doubt and assuming that they'll fix that for the full game. By the time they patched the hell out of 14, there were a good number of fouls called. I just hope they get that right out of the box this year, and I don't have to wait until April to get some damn fouls called.

Froze up my whole PS4 the first time I tried to play. Had to unplug it from the wall. It's been fine ever since though.

You could see the power bar go up on your player as you were trying to hoof it up field. Did the game make you attempt to go up field or were you trying to put it out of play?

I was trying to just clear it. I thought I got fouled, hopefully in the retail it will be called.

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.

I wasn't expecting much in the graphics department, especially considering with PES I always hope they just worry about gameplay over graphics but the graphics are kind of under whelming. Especially since I remember getting PES 12 looking much better on PC than this.

Now the gameplay at it's core seems solid. Tiki taka by Barca was nice to see and the game seems solid. Now for my biggest problem, the game feels robotic. The movements seem so as you said not fluid at all and just clunky. I'll try again today but so far I wasn't too impressed.

Option files are another issue with this game as we don't know where we stand on that. I'll play the demo some more and see how I feel.

On my XB1 the graphics from the default camera look very jaggy. It was the first thing I noticed. Zoomed in it looks fine (jaggy free) which is weird to me. I've always felt that PES' photo-realistic approach to their art style looks better than FIFA's art style but that's just my personal preference. FIFA also has this weird outline around a lot of their players when you zoom in really close. It's almost as if they are cardboard cutouts photo-shopped onto a background.

I also think PES' movement is a little more realistic although the ideal solution would be a blend of FIFA's fluidity with PES' respect to momentum & physics.

I think option files will be fine on the XB1 since the latest Dashboard Preview enables DLNA support but if it doesn't have it on the PS4 A LOT of folks will be pissed.

Yeah, I'm going to try the demo again tonight and see how it goes.

I might still give the game a go once it's at the $40 mark. Even if it doesn't have an option file I might just then do my own edits and do a La Liga master league.
