PES 2011 Discussion thread

Just finished my 1st game Bayern vs Barca on top player. I want to start by saying I have not bought a PES game since that turd 2008, never liked the demos for 2009 or 2010 and played FIFA 08 & 10 in my years in the wilderness.

Player movement is very good, players have a nice feeling of weight and move freely, I have seen people say its not as free as FIFA but from what I remember of the game you would be hard pressed to tell much, if any difference.

Animations look great, in just one game have already seen some very nice movements, one that sticks in my mind was the ball rolled vertically up to Ibra and he tried to take the shot quick and could not adjust his body and did an awkward looking side foot which went well wide, it looked perfect for the situation. There were some funny moments, not sure how to them, things just looked wrong but overall very good.
You really have to see the game for yourself to understand just how good it looks, the presentation as a whole is just superb, very impressed.

Passing is nice, not at all on rails, have not used the manual pass yet because standard seems to do the job at the moment. I turned the power bar off but after some WTF moments had to turn it back on to get a bearing. I would say its alot like semi assisted on the fifa WC game. I was able to knock it about quite well with only 1 touch but there were always a few balls that were a bit wayward and eventually misplaced passes, very realistic IMO, not ping pong like.
What I really liked was how eager your players are to get onto a ball played into space, I played a ball in behind the back 4 on the edge of the box and Robben went after it like a grey hound out the traps, put way to much on it though and it went out of play.
Passes were also intercepted frequently, particularly by Messi, who just ran onto anything played too close to him, little bastard!

Found it very hard for the first half, I pretty much played in my final 3rd of the pitch, Barcas wide men and 3 man mid field just closed us down to quick(bayern 4-4-2) and allowed very little time on the ball. Was able to work some space at times with subtle movements of the stick but mostly was just overwhelmed. The CPU had some nice passages off play at times, very Barca esque, I just hope not all teams play like that.
In the second half I started to press more effectively and was able to get a bit more space and time by hurrying them but the way Bayern are set up, with Robben & Ribery coming inside alot, the mid field was very congested and I had to pass backwards most of the time.
One thing that leapt out at me was the back 4 really play as a unit, Alan Hansen would be very proud.

I got beat 0 - 2. I am a bit worried by both goals. Ibra scored an overhead kick from outside the box, they way the ball came at him that was probably the only way to get a shot off but it happened in the first 5 mins and went straight into the top left corner, hope I dont see it again. The 2nd goal was a keeper error much like what hapened with Reina when Liverpool played the Arse first game back, that was not the only funny keper moment I saw and for now I am a little concerned by the keepers.

Overall I am impressed and optimistic and off to play more!!

You're gonna be the first guy downloading the demo when it comes out on the 15, and even when you do suck at the game when it comes out, you're gonna still bitch and criticize; immaturity abound.

Why do we need to see a replay of EVERY single foul? Breaks the game up to much in my view.

Presentation stylee!

For those sceptics, look how many people who registered in 2003-2007 that are saying this game is playing like the dogs bollocks (ie. great), these are people that probably played every PES from the beginning, so you should pay more attention to them than some 10 second youtube replay on probably beginner difficulty xD
 
been waiting for your thoughts on this jimmy. Been a member for a long time but never posted much( cant type for sheeet), really do hope the game is back. Kinda lost interest after pes 5. How is the dribling now, are response/ turning times quicker??. Can your shield the ball better form your opponent. These were my biggest gripes with pes10
 
The only negatives are the graphics look slightly grainy but they always get downgraded to keep DL size small and they are still a few weird looking animations.

I am uploading some vids now.

To be honest, don't count on it much, or you'll be disappointed.

I had played the beta on my PS3, and at Gamescom I saw the PS3 and XBox versions side to side, and the PS3 one - sadly - did look a lot grainy, with lower resolution.

I am not one to really talk or care about this, but it's my impression that the "grainy" thing seems to be a PS3 issue.

My two cents.

It's finally a nice pes, yes some flaws are there, too much of a pinball here and there but it feels good and it is refreshing and good fun. So for those who are wondering....yes, it is a solid buy this year!
 
Where i can i track my automatic download. I can't find it anywhere. I've never sued Playstation Plus before. Any help would be appreciated. Eager to get my hands on the demo and report back. Cheers lads

Wow - had 2010 on PS3 because I prefer the feel of their controller - played on Xbox at a friends house but his TV isnt as good as mind so never thought about it.

Those were my impressions, but don't take my word for it. I'm with you on the PS3 controller, though ;)
 
Stopped playing the demo, I'm fucked off with the slow down on replays and free kicks, its annoying me :( dunno whats causing it!

I'm really struggling to get used to the passing too :S feels so weird

Seriously ? not getting that.

I can see Copa teams will be available in Exhibtion. They will be in other Latin American teams. :)

Stick with the passing, everyone is the same, forget anything you knew about previous PES games. Relearn.
