I also loved the game, for the first time in years i noticed an improvement with this game. i really like every aspect of this game. i will be canceling my fifa pre-order and add that cash to the PES.

my only concern is the edit part. that is i have no idea how this is going to work.

do you do any kind of patches on this game; and if you do where is the safest place to download.

I love how hard passing is this year. Comparing '14 and '13 on 1 bar of pass assist is like night and day. Hell, on 0 bars last year it was way way too easy to keep possession put the ball in the exact right place.

I think part of it was there was assistance both on the pass itself and on the player you were passing it too. They would always put themselves in the perfect position to receive the pass. With this year's "tru ball tech" and "MASS," I think ball movement, and player reaction to it, seems more organic and less automatic.

i'm pleased with the demo. i think it will be better once they fix those little details.

This guy's series of videos on PES 2014 is outstanding. Recommended viewing.

Thanks for this. However...
It's Theo Walcott - arguably the fastest player in the game. Also it does not say what difficulty it is on. Not saying it's not true, just mentioning some caveats.

I just love how you can fake a pass with the keeper (when he has the ball in his hands), nice subtle addition!

How do you do that? Do tell!

How do you do that? Do tell!

You have to press Long Pass and then quickly Regular Pass just like a standard fake pass!

Re: PES 2014 Demo Available Now For 360, PS3 - Post Your Impressions

basically you just double tap the pass button with the keeper to do that as well I'm pretty sure.

my favorite moves so far in this game are the step over and the up down on the RAS move... I'm not sure what it's called but basically body feint left and then go right... basically my signature move in real life.. lol everyone calls it weak knees when I would do it growing up


I think my most enjoyable part of the game play though in this game is hitting the advanced through ball.. it feels so great to me. here is example of what I'm talking about..

I have been playing the WE PES JAP Demo for awhile now... absolutely love this game... I just hope konami don't screw up the final game and change the gameplay drastically because to me this is the best footie game to date judging by the demo. I really don't understand those who say the game is to slow... for me the pace and flow of the match is spot on.. I don't think it could be any better in the department. as for the controls being sluggish... I really don't have this problem at all.. especially after playing so much I don't notice anything bad like that. I think those who complaining about that maybe have only played a few matches and are so use to playing at a faster pace and just not use to the game yet. I really believe you must play this game a lot to enjoy it to fullest potential... the more i play it the better it gets for me although my first impressions were good as well though.

I'm not sure if PES 2014 is that much improved or if FIFA 14 is stagnant, but the lack of variety in CPU offense in FIFA 14 is more pronounced than ever this year.

Every single team in the demo plays the ball on the deck through midfield, looking to play a through ball to the middle of the box. I've yet to see a CPU team change field with a cross in their end or the midfield, and I'm not even seeing that many crossing attempts into the box by the CPU.

Disappointing, as the slower, more patient buildup play in FIFA 14 is an encouraging improvement. The ball and player physics also are very nice. But when buildup takes nearly the same damn route on every possession by the CPU, the game feels unrealistic and dull.

The more I play PES 2014, the more I appreciate its superb single-player AI compared to FIFA 14.

I agree completely.

One of the most beautiful things about the sport is the variety of tactics employed by different clubs around the world.

It's a shame that FIFA doesn't seem interested in capturing that aspect.

Re: PES 2014 Demo Available Now For 360, PS3 - Post Your Impressions

I am a long time lurker and a long time FIFA convert after the PES Next Gen debacles. I saw some videos and decided to give the old champion another chance. I have got to say that from box to box this game is incredible. The midfield build up, the computer AI, the ball physics, the players physics, all incredibly well done.

My main complaint is with the goalies. I haven't seen any of the buffonery in person that I have seen on the internet, but something really doesnt seem right with them. It almost seems like they dont have as many animations as the field players. All the saves are so generic. I crack long shots with long shooters and the goalie stands there and catches it without a sweat. All of the goals I scored were either tap ins or from low hard crosses to the back post, despite having clear chances to blast from the top of the box.

I dont know, it is just off. It is so so so close for me. I dont think I will buy either game for a bit, just not that into it this year.

Did the game ship in NA yet? I thought it dropped 9/20, but I don't see an impressions thread. What am I missing?
