lol if you're getting scored on that easily right after scoring you're probably doing something weird.

I haven't experienced anything like that before.

How long have you played PES before this? Do you play FIFA more than PES, generally?

Well, maybe not wrong. Just poorly.

There is no "right way" to play the game. That's the beauty about football; there are so many ways to get a result. That being said, some strategies are more effective than others.

If you're not playing the game on Superstar, (maybe Top Player), you're doing it wrong. I honestly don't get the stuff people are complaining about aside from lack of fouls. Even then, that just means you're dribbling with little variety. Basically, use the L stick to twist and shift at the last second to fool the defender into fouling you. It's much easier with forwards of course. This is the best soccer game I've played on the pitch. I think people just aren't used to it. There's no way people are blowing out the CPU on Superstar. Lots of complaints looking iffy. Also, the more realistic game speed is -1. There, the dumb speed complaints fixed lol

its a view from 8 miles away from the pitch. What graphics do you really expect from that view?

Dribbling with little variety? So if we are passing the ball, we aren't going to get fouled? What about 50-50 balls, do those result in fouls? Any fouls for when a player miscontrols the ball and their attempt to gain control of it again results in a foul?

I'm not trying to be smart, but you're the first person to describe how you've been fouled by the CPU.

FWIW, higher difficulties on PES has notoriously been known to produce more of a challenge, but in all previous PES - the higher the difficulty, the more gaps that open up because of the aggression level (PES3-PES6) shown by the players. I hope this isn't the case.

Went ahead and bought the full game because I was so underwhelmed with the FIFA demo, so it wasn't a difficult decision.

Settings: Top Player, 15 minute match

-1 speed feels right. Overall game speed doesn't feel faster than the demo to me, as others seem to have observed.

Shooting and passing on default feel fine to me playing against the CPU on Top Player (my usual difficulty).

Fouls are weird/tricky. I played a match as Real Madrid vs Espanol and I drew 5 fouls, including two yellows on one player. And I wasn't doing anything special with regards to dribbling or movement, the CPU was just being physical. Then the next match I drew only 1 non-offside foul.

I'll keep playing and see how it goes. Thus far it's a sizable step up from last year.
