Played about 5-6 matches so far, scored 2 goals only . As for now, I see a lot of improvements, from AI who attack more wisely, use tricks and main players, especially if you play against team which have Pirlo, Neymar, Ozil etc., they make the difference. I guess ball physics are heavier then in 2012, and shooting animations are improved which gives you better feeling while shooting. Long pass finally improved, dribbling is great - love it, but I still need a lot of practice. I'll not touch the Demo for a while now, cause I'm going on vacation, but when I come back, I'll play it a lot, cause, you know, I need to get into form for ML saga which I'll share here as for my 2012 ML.
One flaw (maybe it was just coincidence to me), free kicks are too easy. I have had 2 free kicks and scored (with Ozil both), and AI had about 2-3 and also scored all of them, no miss from free kicks. But it may be only coincidence.
In overall, it's amazing, great job guys from KONAMI.
So, after more and more of playing PES 2013 Demo, I must admit I'm amazed. It's absolutely fantastic. Where should I even start...
Animations have reached new level, it's still "Pesish", but definitely better then any PES predecessor and any FIFA till date. Improvements are very visible, there are lots of new animations, it looks more natural and I love that.
When I saw Deft Touch Dribbling I was glad they implemented something like that, but I thought it would be the same useless s**t as FIFA's Precision Dribbling. On my surprise it's not, it's useful, gives you a lot of opportunities, it looks good and skilled AI players use it often. I remember once when Ronaldinho rolled few of my players... wicked! Bravo Konami, guys from EA should take a note.
Defending is also improved, it's even easier then last year, but much better if you ask me. The way you can intentially foul a player, and determine the distance between oponnent player is great. Another big plus. AI positioning is great also, it depends on which difficulty you play.
I play with Demo Unlocker that charliehamster posted link for (Thanks, mate), on professional difficulty mostly, but will try new Superstar difficulty also.
There are things that can be improved, but in general I can't complain on anything, I enjoy this Demo and new PES gameplay. I think I'll try to play with more tactical approach now, change tactics and formations to see how it'll resemble on the pitch. I assume KONAMI improved that segment also, cause tactics are very important, especially when you play ML with weaker team.
"Konami has announced that this second demo will be released on Xbox LIVE on August 28th and on the PlayStation Network on August 29th. PC gamers will get their hands on the demo at a later date in september.
The second demo for PES 2013 features 11 fully-licensed teams and ten-minute matches. Also new anthems have been implemented for the starting line-ups and fans will have the possibility of experiencing for the first time the brand new training challenge mode, Training Trials.
Konami have said feedback has played a major part in tweaking the game.
- Not only has the balance between offense and defence been equalised, but our fans will be able to see the improvements made in pass targeting and trajectory, shot speed, blocking actions by defenders and even on the referee AI."
Been a while since i purchased Pes on PC, is it still required to have 2 installs of the game, modified (kits,stadiums etc) for offline, and a clean install for online, haven't seen any mention that the pc version will have multi monitor support, anyone have any news on this
I think it doesn't need to have 2 installs. If I'm not wrong, when you install patch such as PES Edit Patch you can switch compatibility for online play without having 2 installs; clean and modified.
