Oh, no no no... Big mistake.
You cannot at all be satisfied with the game. If you are doing this, you are downright:
a) blind
b) a fanboy
c) stupid
d) a liar
Be prepared for the flood of posts that will label you that.
It is always like this, every year.
The funny thing, though, just like in PES, are the small details:
a) the random users who are always like vultures monitoring this thread, and as soon as someone makes a good comment about PES, they immediately try to make you admit that you are wrong and biased.
b) the fact that people who actually enjoy PES and don't like FIFA will get bashed here, and as such, this time of the pre-season every year, will stop posting here. It's not that they can't face the supposed disgrace that the game has become. It's just that their time has come to play the game, and not waste more time in futile discussions, because it is not other people's opinions that is going to change their point of view - nor do they try to force others into enjoying PES. As such, the thread will have pages full of people criticizing PES. It's funny, yet feels like home :lol:
And the big details:
If you go through FIFA's forum, and FIFA's thread, you'll see that there are shitloads of people (in the same meaning that there are "shitloads of people" in PES threads who hate PES - i.e. a vocal minority) complaining about bugs and misbehaviors all similar to the ones they criticize PES, and the same people who choose to overlook them are the ones who are the first to point them out in PES.
It all boils down to the following, hard, truth:
a) People look for - and get - different things from games. Each one to its own. They will not change their opinion because others hammer them every time they can. People can like both games, as well there's people who will only like PES or FIFA. There's no need to defend your opinion to others - I mean, none of us should be as insecure as to feel that they have to justify their tastes to others. Hell, if that'd be the case, you'd be posting on internet forums about girls before dating them. As long as you'll try to defend your opinions, and take what others say personally, you'll just be feeding their ego. There are people who are clearly in this thread for the sole purpose of trolling - and I am not talking about BwA Spectre, who, at least, even though he doesn't like PES this year, is mature enough in his posts to support his reasoning, and respects that people have different opinions than him. Other posts, however, such as the one insulting SaintScott, are simply ridiculous and childish. The poster felt insulted that SaintScott keeps defending PES this year, and insults him back. I can't even begin to describe this reaction... As a friend of mine says (I believe it's a quote from a book or a movie), "I can't fart loud enough to express my opinion".
b) FIFA is a good game. There's no denying it. Technologically speaking, it's on a different level than PES in some areas. This is my opinion. And yet, this doesn't make it a game that I prefer to PES. I've been playing FIFA for a while, as well as the PES09 demo. I started enjoying FIFA for what it was, but then there's these things that bring me out of the whole experience, and make me lose the purpose of playing game after game. I will play it while I'm enjoying it. The bugs most people talk about do not trouble me yet, and I have fun with it for now. I don't see anyone who likes PES coming here and starting calling me names for appreciating FIFA. It is not personal, but we who like PES seem to be the few who understand it.
c) PES is a good game, and if you take it for what it is, you'll enjoy it. I'm having fun with the demo every day, and what can I really say? It's PES, for the good things and for the bad things. Both games have good things about them, and bad things about them. I knew what I was expecting from PES. I am happy with it. I seriously believe that it will keep me hooked longer than FIFA. If someone feels insulted by it, please post.
And, to Kobashi: yes, I do feel that the Become a Legend AI is pretty decent this year. You can play fixed player in the demo and make up your mind about it. For me, it suits me pretty well. It is different than FIFA's - FIFA's BAP AI is like cock-teasing, while PES's one is like fondling :lol: None of them are perfect, but they are good for what they are. FIFA's BAP AI circulates the ball well from one end to the other, then the defense intercepts the ball and its the other team's turn to do the opposite. Sometimes there's the odd shot, but it is frequent to have games where the CPU team doesn't do any shot on goal.
PES's AI is different. It might have more pointless battles between players, and the ball might be stuck in the midfield for a while, but there are more successful attacks and more shots on goal - not goals, mind you.
It is all a matter of taste. None is great.
About those fantastic previews you mentioned, you surely can't be talking about the only preview who bad-mouthed "Become a Legend" because the AI never passed them the ball, and there was no button to do so...
Seriously? Can you trust a preview that says that there's no button to pass the ball back to your player? Do you honestly feel they gave the mode a chance? And as far as I have been experiencing, they do pass me the ball more frequently than any other year, without me asking the ball.
It is only a letdown if you're going to set unreal expectations for it - but then again, so should FIFA's one be. Unless you are pre-determined to praise one game despite its flaws, and criticize another, despite its good points.
Only one week to go.

Hahaha badgerman you are such a tosser. Please dont stay away from this thread too long man.
Ah, sorry, I forgot to use the multi quote function. PS3.
The next issue release dates for magazines would probably do for me as I'm assuming most would have a Pro Evo demo unless there's some sort of licensing/PSN exclusivety agreement.
I agree on 6 points with you.Hey Badgerman, I also love those sorts of goals off the bar. I remember scoring a goal on PES5 where I absolutely belted it with Carlos onto the bar, it hit the line, went up and hit the bar again and went in. It didn't backspin or anything, but it just looks so good when that sort of thing happens anyway.
I'm no longer going to talk of or reply to any comments on FIFA in here any more - immature fanboy people are not worth replying to, and some people prefer PES, fair enough. I wish I could enjoy it too.
I think something thing we can all agree on though, is that PES in the near future needs to implement:
1) Proper manual passing
2) At least 16 direction control
3) Much better animations (and more of them would be nice too)
4) More complex AI (for every player - defenders, midfielders and attackers)
5) Better collisions (both player-player, and player-ball collisions)
6) Online modes such as tournaments/leagues you can set up to play friends, 10v10
7) Lower league teams, so any football league team fan can have their team in the game (as a Coventry fan, this is a big thing for me)
8) Revamped Master League (leads on from my last point) with a proper league structure, with cups in the correct formats, realistic player transfers etc. Even for people who support big teams, this would be good for a proper cup experience.
If those things can be implemented, I would be very happy with PES, I really hope next year is the year.
The day they adjust master league is the day hell freezes over
I agree on 6 points with you.
I did not agree with point 4 and 7
Of course if they can improve the AI that way it would be nice, but the AI is already on a high level.
Point 7 is simply not needed, but again, if it is there it would be nice.
The smaller teams would be good yeah, but it's not like the general football gaming populace helps themselves when they solely use, Brazil, France, Italy, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man Utd, both Milans, Barcelona and so on.
Also I was well behind this when Portsmouth were languishing in Division 1 but now we've just been drawn against AC Milan in the UEFA cup so f u all.
edit: >: D
I agree that AI is fairly complicated, and it is harder to program for a football game than, say, a shooter.I agree on 6 points with you.
I did not agree with point 4 and 7
Of course if they can improve the AI that way it would be nice, but the AI is already on a high level.

Actually I'm so awesome at PES that I spent most of my time with 08 beating Barca online with Portsmouth.
Benjani and Utaka had modest stats but played like world beaters, which I thought was quite funny.
When I say "more complex AI" I mean that teams should react to the match situation more realistically and make tactical changes if needed.
For example, you are nullifying all their attacks down the wings, they may bring on a big striker and try the long ball, and vice versa.
Teams who are 5-0 down with 20 minutes to play should focus on damage limitation rather than try and go for the 5 goals to get level.
Teams should adjust their tactics throughout your Master League based on the type of players they have and the manager they have (if managers are implemented) as well as playing their real life style offline.
If you are constantly beating centre back in the air they should try and switch markers, same thing for wingers who are getting little success against the full backs, they should try switching.
and it goes on and on...
Those things are pretty important, even if most are fairly small. They would both add to the challenge while getting rid of the biased AI.
I've been playing Fifa BAP with Ribery at Bayern and I dont see what u describe. My Bayern team dominate possession in the majority of games as expected and chances are created. The other sides do have some chances though and when I have players Hamburg and Bremen those teams have had plenty attempts on goal and created chances.
I accept Fifa isnt perfect and has bugs however the difference is the game is always improving. PES on the otherhand as the same flaws but I dont see much major improvements. It cant be enough to just say 'PES2009 is a lot better than PES2008'. 2008 was so bad that anything would of been better!!
It also appeared that they had left some poo in the bottom of the envelope.
Overall I thought that it was kind of unprofessional of them.
seriously konami........just wow, what an awful game...seriously think PES08 was better and that game was awful!! but atleast it was smoother
i buy both footy games every year but for the first time ever i think i am gonna cancel my PES09 pre order...its just not fun to play, releasing the demo was a mistake(for konami) because now i see how poor it is
I'm absolutely shocked that they haven't revamped the Master League.
