Balls: (
click here for video)
14 different balls, (inc PES 2002 and PES 2003)
Gameplay:
Very smooth overall, I like it, seems slower than WE10, but more precise, shooting from distance is difficult, goals have to be 'worked'. Very nice and the reason why I shall be playing this for a long time.
camera angles:
Seem slightly different to ps2 (i.e. wide is wide from pes 2/3 and normal long is actually quite close)
Slowdown:
Yes it exists, but only on corners (found by chip, I've not seen this) and when player is lining up to take free-kick (found by Bones)
Not major at all imo as I haven't seen it since the first game I played :undecide: on any corners or free kicks
Graphics:
PS2 PES6 via scart to CRT TV - Excellent
PS2 PES6 via scart to LCD TV - Poor, don't knwo what happened there.
360 PES6 via component to LCDTV - Excellent (crisp, clear etc).
My point is that I cannot compare my lcd 360 version side by side to the ps2 version running on a crt tv, but I doubt if there is a massive amount of difference apart from a smart polish and shine you expect from 720p. However, comparing my 360 version to the ps2 version on lcd, there is a massive difference.
Commentary:
You are able to select in-game text as English and commentary as Spanish. I thought this might have been left out, but it's there

Nice goal by Lamps. After receiving the ball from Lennon, he finds the top corner.
ROBINSON VS BRAZIL
This video shows how keepers have improved on shot stopping, with nice one-handed saves.
ROONEY VS ITALY
This shows the new 'outside-foot' shot technique. Animation is excellent.
BECKHAM VS REP. IRELAND
A nice shot from Becks which looks very realistic. This one hits the bar.
OWEN VS JAMES
Long range effort half-volley training ground goal here. Thought some would like to see!
LAMPARD VS HOLLAND
A shot from Lamps which hits both the bar and post!
OWEN VS HOLLAND
A cool finish from Owen after being put through on goal.
CROUCH VS SWEDEN
Header by Crouch after a Walcott shot hits the bar.

A sweet finish into the top corner from Rooney. Another example of the classy side-foot shot.
