Okay so played a half on my lunch break Top player Barca (me) vs. Boca and so far i am liking what see so far. Already seen 4 fouls in the first half and most of them were for players challenging for pass which is great. Even saw a nasty foul on Suarez where the defender went to go clear a lobbed passed a missed and caught Suarez instead. Have to play more but I can say if anyone enjoyed Pes 16 they will definitely like this game even more, I just hope they don't mess with the referees because I think they are great so far.

That's not what I want to hear lol. Shooting hasn't been "floaty" since PES 2013. All the Fox Engine games have had boring, one dimensional, over-powered shooting, IMO. Guess that hasn't changed.

Solving at least one problem with tactics would be a nice improvement... About Bahtti and Asim... don´t take anything they say seriously about gameplay updates, just the boots and balls update! EDIT: one thing i tottaly forgot about your video!! The ball possession was exactly 50-50! Awesome!

There is an outside hope that fluid formations or attack/defense levels may be a remedy. Have to look into it later though. I really hope it's something like that, honestly - so yeah, completely agree with you. Solving tactics to fix a gameplay fundamental, is much more ideal.

Yes, the game stats were fantastic, other than fouls of course. However, with better positioning by having those 2 issues fixed, fouls will come. I'm talking 10-12 a match, per team. I'm serious. They've made the ref very aware of what's going on, now they just need to position the players to be closer together, by making them stop running away at such intensities like it's a game of TAG!

Everything about this game is better than last year. Was worried a little from some of the videos of game play that the A.I. still wasn't challenging enough on superstar difficulty. But from what I played, there's no way the majority of those guys were playing on superstar. Even Boca Jrs. put up a good fight. Carlos Tevez is a beast. Bottom line, if you liked PES 2016, you'll love PES 2017. Even the biggest FIFA fanboys should at least give it a shot.

Just played it once so far. Saw a couple great saves by my keeper. Is there anyway to change game speed in the demo? It's always been an option even for the demo's for the past few years.

Pause the game and go to system settings.

It definitely seems better than last years version Dub at least on basic shooting and I couldn't stand the shooting in Pes 16.
