I've seen some glitches, but compared to all the realism I've seen so far, it does not matter at all to me. Had one incident, a counter-attack late in the game, where I was one-on-one against the keeper and then -- out of the blue -- my striker grabs his hamstring. It was unfortunate for me as I didn't end up scoring, but it looked very realistic.

About the defense, I still need to learn the contain people and not be too aggressive, most of the goals I've given up has been because I've tried to use the tackle button at the wrong moment.

And I like the new commentary team and the small stories they tell from time to time - in particular during one game, both commentators wandered down memory lane for about a minute, just talking about old footy stories

Overall, I really like this game and cannot wait to try career mode.

Seriously, other than not defending very well, will the AI ever make a mistake? Maybe a bad pass, a bad touch - anything??? There needs to be more HUMAN in the AI approach - it's just robotic at the moment.

Im trying hard to give this game a chance, but the glaring issues for the offline experience far outweigh the good small bits of game play that mimic its real life counter part.

Players have amazing first touch in this game and I mean all players, I play in the Eredivisie in my Career mode and players can easily bring down some rocket longs balls down of one foot in stride. I have given up on the game though, I don't think I can find it in me to play it anymore. Also the game seriously lags for me at times offline, it totally ruins my experience along with the AI and the a few other issues.

On plus though, in my Newcastle career mode have I have was able to draw 4 penalties in the first 5 games. 2 came in one game however those were the few fouls I have seen in games though.

Lags? Have you tried clearing your cache?

Im on the PS3 I dont think you can clear your cache on it. The early release played just fine, and the disk is clean and I am running it on a Ps3 slim. Its weird every other game runs fine.

Did you try deleting the install data and trying again?

# 208 Muzyk23 @ 10/02/11 10:49 AM

it seems to my that goalkeepers during penalties throw themselves way too early

this is the best football game ever

it needs more signature style though

jockeying with A seems to have been made for casual players - it feels like being on auto-pilot to me

Agreed, though sometimes you'll see a trap that goes a bit further than most (though it is still relatively close by) but it seems to be way too random as opposed to when a hard or difficult pass comes in.

same here, that and the computer is absurd at defense. There's times where I can't even get close to the box and every single through ball I attempt gets thwarted by the Usain Bolt quick like defense. The AI goalies also have games where they're absolutely unbeatable.

# 211 Moses Shuttlesworth @ 10/03/11 02:19 AM

I was 17-0 online and then lost 4 in a row. WTF some people know exactly where and when to do certain things...I feel like I'm being exploited at times.

There are sliders that will help this.

But I do not see this at all. I see a difference in the players abilities. Except of course when the CPU wants to score - then they all become Kaka.

# 213 cardinals57 @ 10/03/11 06:25 PM

Why is it my defenders do nothing at times? They just stand there and allow the offense to just run through them. I feel like I have to do everything because my team is incompetent and wont do anything.

What level are you playing on? Just curious if it has to do with the level. thanks.

# 215 bad_philanthropy @ 10/03/11 09:31 PM

Overall I'm really pleased with the game. Yes there are some things that PES does better, but the overall package is a good blend of authenticity and accessible gameplay.

I would like to see a patch for fouls and any of the CM mode issues that creep up, but I'm pretty impressed with the state of the game at release.I feel like we're one patch away from having the best sports release of this console generation�or at least multi-platform as The Show is tough to top.

I agree.

CM bugs fixed and more fouls called would be a dream. The play on the pitch is top notch but lack of foul calls takes away from the realism from it all. The fouls happen, they're just not called. I hope they're able to fix it and not do what the Madden and NCAA team does and ignore most fouls except for holding and face mask.

I play World Class.

I generally play the best teams or the lower teams for a challenge.

There is a big difference going from Barca to Queens Park. You notice a lot more what other teams are capable of doing against you.

I do not like to change the sliders too much for this reason. If I adjust the sliders while playing Barca then go to QPR the game may not play right.

I get what you are say but, have you tried the passing error slider?

I believe people have noticed the ball will not be controlled as well by the CPU, including traps.

# 219 woody2goody @ 10/04/11 01:19 PM

The only thing that bothers me is that fast players are dominant. There should be more of a speed penalty when running with the ball, because to me unless you have fast defenders online you are pretty much toast.

Apart from that I'm enjoying it

# 220 Flightwhite24 @ 10/04/11 03:29 PM

Finally won my 1st game on Pro level and its a helluva feeling. Does this mean I'm getting better? Lol
