So, downloaded the PC demo, absolutely loving it. 10 minute games, just lost 1-0 to Internacional, and had a blast. Tactics are revolutionary. The drag and drop system is so perfect.

If anyone needs any help with getting a PS3 controller to work as a gamepad, let me know, I'll send you some links and instructions.

HERE. I've tried it before but couldn't get it working. I use my xbox 360 controller. I prefer the ps3 controller though

Alright. I'm falling asleep. I'll send you a PM tomorrow afternoon with the drivers and instructions. If you can follow the instructions on the site that's great, but it took me a little bit to get them working.

Just played one more game Bayern (me) at Barca. Was great to see Messi playing how he should, making plays and being a serious threat from wherever he is. At one point, from about 30 yards out, he held up play, passed, and ran to the far post. When the shot came in, he was standing right there for the rebound, though he pushed it wide, was good to see some intelligence from him. I'm liking it, probably a day one purchase.

Thanks Sox. I'll check it out. And don't forget our thread tomorrow! LOL

Man, just played one game. WOW. This has the potential to be the best football game I've ever played. The animations are very smooth. Physics are good. The CPU AI was excellent. The new passing system is spot on. Gonna take me a while to get used to it but I love it. I downloaded the FIFA 11 ps3 demo but that didnt wow me like this did. The only negative as I've said all along is the sound but not a big deal at all. I hope the ps3 version is exactly like this PC version.

Glad to hear y'all are loving it.

Any idea at what time this will be out on the PS3?

Need to get used to the controls and passing, but am also loving it. Have a HTPC hooked up to my plasma running at full 1080p, looks stunning and runs smoothly. Now that the time mod and different team mods are starting to come out, this will not get boring before release.

Anyway play around with the game speed slider? It seemed like it only went from 0, +1, +2. I thought there were 5 different speeds with a -1 and -2 setting as well?

I downloaded demo, do not have a controller though, haha, only have wireless xbox controllers. All I want to know do teams play differently???? FIFA never gets this right, teams always attack attack up the field.

I tried to ask you on PSN what you thought of fifa

After playing both demos on the ps3 I much prefer PES this year and I haven't felt that way the last couple of years.

I haven't played the PC demo but there are 5 settings in the ps3 demo. So far -1 is my favorite.

Re: Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I have had the ps3 demo since last Friday since I bought plus from the UK store.

I have not been a fan of the last few PES games but I am really enjoying the demo.
The passing takes getting used to but once you do and it starts to click you can play some beautiful stuff. The player/team differences are back IMO. I feel a difference playing as Barca vs. Bayern for example. My biggest problems in the past were animations and of course the ref in PES 2010 was terrible. they are both great now. Also, the keepers seem much improved although they will still spill some shots but they are much better. In one game Butt absolutely robbed Messi from less than 6 yards out.

It takes time to get used to but once you do it really is good.

sorry about that man. I rarely game online so I never even bother to check my msgs. But yeah, I'm really feeling this PES. No more ping pong passing either which has evened out possession times.

Outstanding... may have to skip a night of NHL11 OTP to play some footie demos!

No worries

I agree on the passing as well. Everything just feels better in the PES demo compared to Fifa right now but I will give fifa some more time.

The demo is now available for those who have a European name and do not have plus. I imagine the US store will have it later today?
