Think I have very similar impressions to Angus. Downloaded demo, played 2 matches:
- Graphics are fine. Not amazing, certainly not FIFA but you have to hold your hands up - FIFA is absolutely phenomenal in that regard.
- Individuality is definitely apparent. Ronaldo/Bale are monsters, but hold the ball too long with Kroos and you open a world of hurt. Obviously need more time/variety of players to confirm this, but you do get the 'give it to the really good guy' feeling from old PES days
- Movement is so much better than FIFA. I was charging about with Benzema trying to get the ball back, and 3 passes in a triangle later I'd been taken out of the game and they were past me with options in the midfield.
- Nice to see patient buildup from the CPU (twas Atleti) but it was pretty measured. At 0-0 felt more like they were holding on for a draw, but this was in the 30th minute. Would get annoying after a while I fear.
Overall I'm annoyed we don't get the presentation/graphics we deserve, but the game is smooth to play and feels very different from FIFA. I'll wait til post Xmas probably, pick it up on sale and reap the rewards of all the lovely modders' hard work.
