Hello,
I'd like to have your input on what you think has improved compared to PES6 (or WE11), and also what's gotten worse or seen no improvement whatsoever.
I've only played the demo, so here's my limited feedback:
The Good:
* The referee has become tougher on actions near the box, so you have to be delicate with your defending. However, he didn't sent off my opponent while I was going 1 on 1 vs. the keeper, maybe because it was a friendly match?
* Compared to the stock PES6 crowd, the new one is more lively, but nowhere near the atmosphere you can get with patches
* The passes were made less accurate, but I think the crosses are still too slow compared to real life ones.
* It seems the refs are more lenient on offsides, but maybe it's only me.
The Bad:
* Min specs were beefed up for this edition. I'm afraid I can't afford HD kits this time...
* The details / resolution graphics settings
The Ugly:
* Keepers are still too easy to beat, resulting in quite unrealistic scores (is PES turning into an arcade game?). Yet I've seen some people saying they're better. In PES5 they were über on corner kicks, in 6 they wouldn't leave their goal line, in 2008 somewhere in the middle, I suppose.
* Still no LAN mode this year, it seems. I'll probably skip if it's the case. (:/)
* Only 2 EPL licenses.
Also, I was used to the PS names for the buttons. Oh well.
Edit: Recapping thread contents.

The Good:
* Good ball physics
* Better graphics and players animations. Still room for improvements, though.
* The crowd has improved, but nowhere near chants patches you can get for PES 6. Celebrations should be really improved when scoring important goals, lack of emotion.
* The referee has become tougher on actions near the box, so you have to be delicate with your defending.
The Bad:
* Less customization options: No kit selection in ML mode! and boot/hair/faces editing removed
* High specs compared to PES 6
* Limited or non-existent widescreen options
* Bad passing accuracy (I personally think it's not a bad thing) and control, even if the pass is nothing bad or just slow
* Gameplay is too arcadeyish (fifaish): too fast, and some players can literally own a defense (My solution: stop using those players and learn to defend)
* Predefined courses are still there - sometimes the receiver wouldn't run and barely receive the pass with the tip of the foot, resulting in slower buildup or loss of possession
* Some people dislike the new PK view.
* Lack of realism in the way the game flows: no shirt pulling. Also, you can challenge players who don't have the ball and aren't close to the action (no thrupass) and the referee won't blow, let alone book.
* NO LAN MODE!!!1!one
The Ugly:
* Lack of licenses (boots, balls, kits, licenses, STADIUMS!!!)
* Well, commentaries are still "great" (I think they've improved, personally)
* The Force(tm) still repels players during throw-ins.
* Still awful GK clearing, be it foot or hand.
