Yes, the A.I. had 6 fouls in my 1st game and I kicked a penalty in my second game.

NEVER played PES before. Gave the demo a go tonight, and the game looks beautiful--that's for sure.

Kept messing up controls given that I am used to FIFA.

My question is, is the 'career mode' in this game worth anything? Also you have to edit nearly everything to get realism? Can you 'edit' (for lack of better word?) stadiums to get real stadiums?

In case you're not aware, in the options you can choose control scheme 2, which is pretty much the same as FIFA.

What an upgrade from 16.

Fouls - Yes!

Goalkeepers can actually block, catch and deflect shots - what a concept!

CPU sends crosses into the box - Yes

The majority of CPU attacks aren't spamming the through ball like they did in 16. Good to see.

More variety in goals - I still can't believe every CPU is not a low controlled shot into the corner just out of the reach of the keeper.

The ball actually goes out of play to give us breaks in the action for subs - Nice to see.

Replays are much improved and we can skip that awful final replay screen the always had - finally!

Some CPU teams will come after you like crazy if you play around with the ball too much.

Looking forward to the final retail version.

Ok playing Barcelona is surreal Watching Suarez and Messi dribble thru you is incredible and then the expressions on close ups is just nails , you could take a side by side pic and you wouldnt know which was which.

Another cool thing i saw was i have all stadium options on random and a game started out light rain but in second half it came down stronger you could see it more and the pitch was getting wetter and players started to lose footing.

Anyone else seen this? it is really awesome.

# 46 BL8001 @ 08/24/16 12:34 AM

I can barely describe how much fun I am having.

Getting run by Barca no less. I mean this is how it should be. You lose but don't feel cheated, you lose but your players are not idiots.

Posting the 1st and 2nd halfs momentarily. I did 3 tries vs barca on superstar

Dropped it to top player and just had the best match of videogame soccer in years. Barca is flat out audacious. Check out that first goal they scored.

One other note, it's almost a crime how much better this game looks on PS4.

Arsenal v Barca 1st half

1st goal was all my fault. I made that terrible pass after getting it up top. I was trying frantically to hit super cancel but the daft pass happened and moments later I paid dearly.
Look at that save before the goal! Incredible. Then he is justifiably pissed after it goes in.

2nd half. Arsenal fares much better and puts fear into the barca faithfuls hearts.

I had 2 fouls, CPU none. What am I doing? I usually try to tick-tack passes and long through-balls. Then again, I'm on amateur. Do I need to upgrade CPU strength to get them fouling me left/right?

	I agree that tactics are very deep, but like I said, they should not be the be all end all - which is what common PES players defend. That's not right. No team in the world has all 11-players completely in-sync with the prescribed tactics. Doesn't happen.

this is false... what do you mean it doesn't happen? Yes it does

and it happens quite often.

any ways, some quick impressions after 3 matches.

I like how keepers react on crosses and higih balls into the box.. I think pass support 1 is a tad to accurate and I think manual passing seems like it should be pass assist 1. both manual passing and shooting is not as tough as 2016 and I think should be the default after playing with the settings. I also think -1 game speed feels about the right pace. some good gameplay so far but I need to play more. keepers are probably the best I ever seen in a PES game before.. they seem perfect to be honest. fouls are much better which is good. Shooting feels good but maybe a tad to powerful rockers at times. overall some very good gameplay and probably the best PES.. need to play more though.

Well color me impressed. Did not expect to be blown away by the visuals- hard to tell if you are watching a real game on tv or not at times. I'm on the ps4, stinks if it looks better than the xbox. I can only imagine if they made this version of game for PCs what it could look like.

This could be a year where PES finally steals more sales from FIFA. With the switch to the new engine I expect it to be rough around the edges at least.

I do think Manual passing will be the way to go but manual shooting i feel is too easy the shots are rockets all the time and it seems you can get them off quicker than basic.
Im in the middle of trying all the shot options to compare, think ive settled all ready on manual passing.

# 51 stevostl @ 08/24/16 01:12 AM

but what I mean is the manual passing setting to me now feels like it should be really pass assist 1 when I play with it it almost felt like.

I also noticed manual shooting seem a bit easier than before as well...

# 52 ZoneBlitz @ 08/24/16 01:12 AM

So, it is, on the pitch, the best game of soccer I have ever played. You really have to think fast and strategically. The buildup is awesome. It is really a thinking man's game.

However, since I am playing it on Xbox One, the graphics are atrocious. While the game plays well, the terrible graphics simply kill it for me. Therefore, despite the fact that it is one of the best sports games I have ever played, the awful graphics are just killing it for me. I will not be getting this soccer game.

# 53 JimmyDeicide @ 08/24/16 01:31 AM

The more i play it the more the graphics are not bothering me as much.
Hopefully its lower in demo to keep the download smaller?
Wishful thinking i know but even on xbox the graphics are incredible at certain moments.
Demo is GOOD been playing all night.

Just scored this beauty:

# 55 FelaKuti @ 08/24/16 02:23 AM

Meh, still a lot of flaws with the gameplay mechanics. Players feel too silky and are able to turn much quicker than anyone would in real life on the ball. Ball still feels glued to players rather than a separate entity. Keepers are still just a bit... off? Their animations are so weird. A lot of the animations feel very stiff to be honest, especially skill moves. Shooting is still too easy and body positioning and opposition pressure doesn't seem to affect your accuracy much at all. Still lacks the passing and first touch mistakes we can get in FIFA (one of its redeeming qualities). Scoring a goal still feels meh.

Still missing a whole host of features from the old-gen PES too. Where are the stats like aggression and teamwork that dictated player movement? Or the attack and defensive arrows you could set in formation page to dictate the sort of runs players made? Or technical stats like passing speed, dribble speed, shot technique etc?

I think it's an improvement, but still not close to what I would've hoped for. Just baby steps as always.

You may have to up the difficulty. I'm playing on superstar so the A.I. is more aggressive, but try professional and see if that works for you.

# 58 Ac3way @ 08/24/16 05:35 AM

I like the gameplay and lighting, it looks good. Alltough too much motion blur at replays and they are bit laggy, definitely replays are not 60fps.

Great game, loving it. Passing, crossing and shooting at manual still too easy. No pass errors at all, ball goes straight feet to feet and shots are too accurate. Also sometimes dribbling and turning is way too fast.

I played like crazy PES 2016, but this is at another level. Great gameplay!
