Couple of more matches. Turned down difficulty to 'experienced' which is 3 on the old scale, still haven't been able to score. bloody challenging. don't know whether it's because i haven't played for a while or because it's really hard.
i think this will appeal to the hardcore fans. passing and positioning has become much more intricate. you really need to time and point your passes well, otherwise they will not arrive at their target. in PES5 you pressed X and most of the times this would be fine. not so here (at least in my impression). the CPUs attacking seems much more varied too. in 5 they used to play field-spanning through passes for the most part, here they really build up their attack. CPU play is still a bit on the immaculate side for my taste. barely any mis-timed passing or anything that doesn't arrive where it should. of course, most deflections end up with the CPU. also the CPU players are damn fine dribblers. sometimes it seems the ball is glued to their feet. it's still very difficult to dispossess them. they also tend to pack their box like they did in previous versions and they constantly seem to have an advantage in midfield (but that might be due to my formation). heading as difficult as before. freekicks same crap. keepers i haven't seen doing any stupid things yet, but unfortunately i conceded already two goals of the deflection/ tap-in kind (which was more or less every goal i conceded in PES5). through passes much more effective and powerful in my impression.
one thing that seems to FINALLY have gone is the magic CPU speed advantage. i think that's much due to the wingers making more intelligent runs and use of space. speed-wise i cannot confirm that it is considerably slower than PES5. i'd say the same, but that's subjective. graphics are the same. cannot see any improvement. that thing with the ugly spectator-texture is really a joke, though.
interface is a bit a mix of new elements and old ****e. there are many new additions to make it easier for the casual gamer (such as me), like auto-substitutes and such. the intro movie is nice (some samba pop and some quite cool graphics).
i like it so far. it feels like it has all the good things from PES5 and took out the bad ones. but i really need to score now
