ok here's my feedback, played PC version, will check PS3 demo later, first impressions :
TLDR - finally felt like proper PES and I liked it!
What's so good about it?
* Graphics - stunning, everything about it isabsolutely nextgen, player faces on closeup are so lifelike it's crazy ; more important thing is that pitch and gameplay camera (wide) look is also amazing, Konami really did a giant leap forward, honestly I never expected that, I'd lick my screen all the time if I could, 10/10
* The pace of the game is just right, feels almost like PES5. Sets the tone for the game, no more dumb runs with 1 guy (but there are exceptions, I will continue about this below).
* Running animation doesn't disturb me, feels ok which is important ; there are TONS of new animations (they didn't lie), passing, dribbling, shooting most of them very sublime and sometimes to spot but it's there - little touches of an artist
* Control is so so, could be better ; all of the animations with the ball are noticeably made slower, it's good it doesn't scream arcade anymore, but response times could be better, they are good only if you control superstar players (Messi comes to mind) ; one thing about running with the ball I like the most, you can't really push it between 2 defenders, it's easy to lose the ball like that (stealth nerf for dumb fucks online running with 1 player)
* PES core is still here, so I instantly knew how to play it, no real need to relearn everything, I think tactics are something everyone will need to grasp and use - thet's the sweet spot of this edition
Wha
t's bad :
* response times on the ball,feels so slow at times, if that was needed to lose arcadish feel - I take it, but
* can't find arrows in tactics for positioning, are they gone? if so - that sucks major balls because AI players are lazy when it comes to move off the ball, hopefully some 'cards' can replace it
* R2 control is nerfed as hell, still can use but it's weak
* cutbacks will reign again
So overall, finally after two years of drought I can go to store and buy PES with no worries I'll take it back week after. I can feel I'm so gonna play this whole year (IF online is fine) because quality is there, it's a step in right direction defo.
If you want FIFA vs PES comparison here you go - I'll buy both but the king starts with letter
P. Mostly because limited freedom (in FIFA) is not my cup of tea.
Now here's hoping that online will be as good as in PES6, if it is - future is bright.
