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

[UptheARSEnal]

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?

I gotta reinforce that the two handed falling over catch animation by the goalies is preposterous. Like that will ever happen on a Gerrard blast from the edge of the box.
