The game could certainly use some more error in the way of passes/shots to make them less accurate for the CPU but I haven't seen some of the glaring AI deficiencies 2015 had in the way of defending. Good CBs like Varane, Chielieni, Silva, etc... do their job at commanding the back and cleaning up messes.

On offense, deep lying middies like Pirlo, Bastian, etc... always show or create an outlet. They're just a lot slower and dynamic on the ball so you have to be careful to get caught out.

This game will more than likely get slightly better reviews than last year from IGN etc, but for those of us who play hundreds and hundreds of matches throughout the year, it'll get old quick like Pes 2015.

It has some FIFA-like default characteristics but the pace is still slower.

People have been spamming Bhatti & officialpes on twitter about fouls so the average user isn't that enamored with that aspect.

IF fouls are fixed and the ML/MyClub/Edit Mode updates are what they say they are then it should get better reviews.

From what I can so far, team tactics actually work but I need to do some more testing.

A proper option file (kits, players, badges, etc... + klashman's team tactics)

Hmm, something strange happened. I was Felipe Luis and made a tackle at Valbuena and missed but clipped him in the box, no penalty. It was a foul, not a vicious tackle by any means but still a foul, he fell but the game continued. Either that's bad coding for refs that went unnoticed or this will be fixed because theres no way they refuse to call fouls lol

# 63 RoyceDa59 @ 08/13/15 03:57 PM

Tactics do work better than last year but just not as varied as they were in PES 2013. You have to sift through that convoluted menu to activate a lot of tactics. I have been messing with Bayern Munich a lot and switching them to Front-line pressure with the offside trap on has them play very similar to how they were last year.

# 64 BL8001 @ 08/13/15 04:06 PM

There are fouls, but just like FIFA they are tied to dribbling from what I have seen.

I was in the box with vidal last night and moved the RS down and then LS up to exit that way and the CPU barged me off the ball and I drew the foul and was awarded the penalty kick.

I use LT for the special move and that plus using the R stick moves will draw penalties.

Just like FIFA you have to draw the defender into you and do a skill move to have any chance of a foul being called.

The problem with both games is they have these collision systems and what looks like it to us and what really are fouls, are not called.

The main difference between this and FIFA is that FIFA began almost calling auto fouls for all slide tackles to stop users from abusing it.

It's obvious that neither game has the logic built in to assess the collision and deem it a foul or not.

One thing they could do to cheat it is have a halo or focus ability of the ref, if you are near enough to the ref and any type of contact occurs then code it so 90% of the time a foul is called for a strict ref, 40% for a lenient ref.

Then we would have fouls and we would have a reason to believe they were being called correctly.

def agree tactics could be deeper for people who play master league and such.

I just get annoyed with people who complain about AI right off the bat with PES but will spend a year on FIFA sliders to try and get it to play right. They dont try different passing or shooting or tactics or fluid formations on PES though. haha. Hard to trust those opinions.

Hell yeah Royce, the menu hierarchy could use some work. I explained to someone on evo web last night how to set & change your offensive/defensive/custom tactics:

That's pretty cumbersome

Tried them all, no such luck. When the flow is towards the same designation as PES 15, it's hard to trust those opinions as well.

PES purists will never think about adding sliders, but there has to be a way to improve the game out of the box - those options are critical to sustaining playability in my opinion. This is coming from one of the biggest PES "fan boys" you'll ever meet considering my work in globally editing the PES series to make it playable.

Is there any way of downloading the demo for XBOX 360 without being a Gold member?

Silver members typically have to wait at least 1-2 weeks to download after gold.

Those comments no different than a fifa fan boy making comments. How bout just talking about pes demo.

# 71 KG @ 08/13/15 05:10 PM

From the XB1

Good goal by Pogba (who's a great mix of pace & power). I'd still rather see him go down via one of those challenges instead of skipping over it.

guess we will just have to agree to disagree. i am seeing plenty of play in the middle of the pitch the demo already. And i haven't gotten too much into formations and such. Though nothing wrong with preferring one over the other. Different strokes.

# 73 ChaseB @ 08/13/15 06:32 PM

The lack of fouls is really concerning, but it's flowing nicely overall and am having some solid games as I mess with stuff.

That's fine, man. What you see is what you see - but if you're going to generalize the "FIFA sliders" guys then be objective with what we all see on PES - video doesn't lie.

Regardless, the demo is promising, the defensive line is a bit in shambles for my personal liking. On that KG's goal, it didn't make sense that the CB continued to back up as Pogba got through and was obviously going to shoot. The positive was that the DM (I think?) stepped up as the first man was beat almost instantly. So apply that same trait/animation to the defensive backs - and you've got the formula for some better defensive awareness.

# 75 TerryP @ 08/13/15 06:59 PM

Anyone have trouble installing the demo (PS4)? I've downloaded twice now and received a message after installing most of the way that it cannot install.

# 76 kashik @ 08/13/15 07:01 PM

One thing we need to keep in mind is the effect game time has on gameplay. We won't be able to test this in the demo, but in 2015 the game was pretty much broken once you set the time limit to 10 or above.

CPU passing % was regularly in the high 80s/low 90s, possession % through the roof, and cheating occurring for cpu tackling and pass interception.

I'd be wary of such things if other changes have yet to be addressed from 2015.

From the video it looks like Bayern's CBs were occupied by Vidal and Morata and Pogba shot right after he beat the DM so the CBs had no time to close him down. Had Pogba dribbled forward after beating the DM and the CBs didnt close Pogba down, then that would be a defensive awareness issue.

The RCB turns their back on the dribbler to chase their mark, the LCB backs up and shifts to their mark. Defensive awareness would be shift towards the dribbler as soon as he crossed the threshold of the first 2 players, while still maintaining an angle to cut off the pass. At that point in time one of those CBs should have gone for the dribbler at least. The fact that one turned their back away after Pogba gets through, is just another sign of poor defensive fundamentals through programming. FIFA did it, PES did/does it - the more we identify it - the better chance it has to be fixed. I obviously will need to get more videos up to explain in depth so hopefully the developers and important parties can be made aware.

If they add a foul slider that would make the game for me. I am playing on superstar -1 speed all assists off and enjoying the gameplay.

This tackle skipping is so unrealistic it hurts my eyes. KONAMI has clearly butchered the Fox Engine because their devs are incapable of improving the collision system.
There are also def awareness problems in this goal as the 2 CBs should try to close down. I understand that they keep an eye on their markings but this is really bad coding.
