Re: PES 2013 Discussion Thread .......
Oh, I'm loving the R3 press just as your player receives the ball to allow you to flip it over the defenders head.
Love this to, the old Sombrero. Nice that it's Player Card specific as well.
Last night I had a very extended play of PES 13 Final Demo against my son. For some reason we just couldn't switch it off. It was brilliant.
I actually played PES 12, the night before, online for the first time in a very long time.
The difference between PES 12 and PES 13 is bloody huge. Freedom of Zero Assistance is vast in PES 13, the A.I. is so much better, the game feels to much more natural and organic.
Loving the Circle then R2 high pass as well, short or long. It's beautiful. I just wish they would have a scoop animation for the stationary passes with this system, I can't believe they miss this year-in, year-out. Either way, it's a great feature. Mix the L2 and Circle then R2 is wonderful as well when you nail the power correctly. No more pin-point weight, you really can over-hit these long ones, which adds to the satisfaction.
Also, I noticed that Zero Assistance seems to effect the lesser players with regards weight of pass and lesser so with direction. Which is excellent, and more realistic with technique in this regard.
I've said it before, but I'll mention it again as nobody seems to be bringing it up, how good is the removal of the X Pressure button for defending ? This is HUGE, and the first time PES has changed this system completely on it's head. I really welcome this, it really does now making defending much more of an art form than ever before. Sure we have had a new defensive system over recent years, but the bottom-line is that regardless of the new contain system, we always had the cheap 'X' Pressure button 'go-to' move. Not now. No more primary bullshit pressure, I love it. Pressure Whores beware, your time is done.
