PES 2016 Available Today, Post Your Impressions

[PeruvianPlaya954]

Played probably my best game of PES 2016 yesterday.

I was using Peru and playing "in" Cameroon. The more athletic African team dominated the possession game and were much more dangerous. They had one sitter after pick-pocketing my centerback at the top of the penalty area, but missed it.

Cameroon eventually scored and I did little in showing fight. I contemplated making changes at halftime to not have such a flat showing, but stuck to my guns and conceded off a corner kick played short and then crossed in five minutes into the second half. 2-0.

My team responded, though. Carrillo (who was on a red form arrow) set up a trio of goals to Guerrero (also on red form arrow) and I flipped the script completely with 10 minutes left. The third goal, a header, had me pretty excited.

I wanted to make a CM substitution to close out the game and did, but my only options were on blue/purple form arrows. Anyway, while trying to waste time, there was a play near midfield in the fifth minute of stoppage time where I stepped in wrong and knew it could prove costly. It did.

Cameroon scored on the last kick of the game, and it ended 3-3. My thrilling comeback was spoiled by one of their own.

Amazing game, especially during the moments when Cameroon players stepped on the ball and pulled it back and when I realized late that I had made a grave error. PES rocks.

Nice have you added in all of the national team kit?

Almost. I'm tackling 14-15 at a time. Each of those session takes me (because I'm super anal and change number colors, etc.) about a couple hours. Then I reward myself with a game against a team from each session I've done.

So far, I've done all of Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. All I'm missing is Europe's 29 teams, which I hope to finish by tomorrow.

Exactly. It's the reason I will never ever play FUT again. It's just a skill move **** show the entire game.

And of course I lost... Was nice to hear them talking about it anyway (I didn't even realize the team had a 100% away record) I hope there's a lot more of that in ML. I don't expect it to be as in depth as Fifa's CM mode, though. But it's finally a step in the right direction.

I have only played 4 games so far I think but it is in there for sure. I won my first game 3-1 and my second game they talked about how I started the season with the win or something along those lines. I was pleasantly surprised it was in there.

Also, I played my first game in the Champions League and they talked about how this was the game everyone wants to play in and how the long road to the final begins with the first game.

It is a nice addition for sure.

Have been on a gaming hiatus the last few years but downloaded the demo today on the 360 and was blown away by two of the best soccer games I'd ever played.

A couple questions:
1. Are there (non-graphical) limitations on the 360 version compared to the new consoles?
2. Is there the ability to save a game in the middle of a match? My gaming time is limited, but I like longer matches and would like to be able to save them and return to them when I could.

OK, after spending more time with games and a few cups (no ML until data update, whenever that is....) I have some little things that annoy me, I've had some good games so Im not complaining, BUT:

- The jump/skip animation of the AI, it seems it happens way too much, the least realistic animation if its done 7 times in one possession .

- I'm not a pro player that wins 10-0 on superstar, so for me, with my playing style, I've noticed that after scoring a goal, the AI will make some ridiculous plays to equalize it, (they will be impossible to tackle, all the balls go their way, etc). In short, I'm seeing some scripting from the AI. This wasn't bad in Exhibition, but during tournaments/cups it was terrible. Its usually a through ball that for some reason my defense is completely taken by surprise and leaves a gigantic hole for some reason that wouldnt have been there if I hadn't scored. This happens immediately after my goal.

- Anyway to defend the AI free kick? from outside the box it's always my keeper touching the ball but not enough to get it out from goal. AI goal 90% of the time

Those are some frustrations so far after playing it more, well on top of the usual ones (keepers, fouls). Its still enjoyable tho.

PS: maybe I've played too much, but I'm already tired of hearing the :" you can hear the collective sigh of relief, as they know they've come away with it" .......

I'm really liking the game. Once I finish updating the Premier and Sky Bet I think I'll try two ML. One where I play and one that I just manage.
