Really loving playing the game with game speed at -2.

If you choose Fans View camera, you will soon realize that -1 speed is way too fast.

I was playing -1 and it was ok but now I can't switch back.

At -2 and fans view camera the game feels perfect.

Graphics suck badly tho.

Can't agree with that. Yes, Fifa has better overall atmosphere as you play the game, stands look better, etc, but the graphics aren't bad. I also think PES nails player likeness much better than FIFA, especially their face scans.

Good stuff Matt, as always. I can say with certainty that the game plays differently on the higher difficulties. The lines are much tighter and AI much better about containing and not over pursuing. I'll stream in twitch later playing full manual and Superstar, I'd love your input.

It's the same as not being able to "fix" last year's defensive issues in FIFA with sliders. Same thing. For example, I'm creating super easy one-on-one chances by simple 1-2s, with defenders not properly tracking runs; I'm seeing CBs not properly mark attackers, allowing for too much space and easy chances; I'm conceding far too many goals because my keeper parries and a CPU attacker responds quicker than defenders in the area. It shouldn't be up to the community to adjust the game to accommodate for its flaws, whether it's with sliders, passing settings, fluid formations, manual passing, whatever. And by the way, FIFA plays anything but an up and down affair this year right out of the box. In the FIFA demo, I have to work for my goals. In this, it just feels all too easy to create chances.

I was doing the same thing on Top level.

I was really killing the AI.

However, once I switched to Manual passing and manual shooting. The game plays great.

Also, I get killed in tournament modes. The AI defense is so aggressive and solid.

It's so hard to beat defenders 1 v 1 when playing during tournament mode.

The replays on PES are amazing(always have been). It is probably the only game that I choose to watch the replays at halftime and at the end of the game.

Graphics from the Fans View Camera suck!

Up close graphics are amazing.

I actually did the camera view from behind (not sure what it's called) but it was fun for a game here or there. Gives you a different view of the field and passing lanes.


My favorite thing about PES is what a lot of people hate and that is it's customization. I love changing kits, editing players(hairstyles in this game are great if that's your thing) and changing formations and tactics.

Agreed. I decided when the squad update comes out, I'll start a ML with original PES lineup and use my home town team, the Colorado Rapids and put them in the Championship and move my way up. I like that I can change their kits each year if I want to.
