I will start off by saying this is possibly the best PES/Winning Eleven ever created in my opinion. Maybe even better than PES 6/Winning Eleven 10 although still lacks snow and some edit features which were present in those.
Pace of game feels between Demo 1 and 2, but more like demo 1 which is brilliant a more considered pace is always welcome by myself. Referees on the whole are great. Shooting is toned down a bit for the better in my opinion. You can still hit some screamers though. Love to use manual passing, not used the manual shot modifier yet as the shooting is so stable this year. Love the way it let's you hit the ball after being offside
The passing is a real pleasure in PES 2013 and like other PES games feels really satisfying to hit cross field passes. Passing bar two feels good for me tried full manual on demo 2 but could not warm to it, same with one bar.
A.I moves a lot more and as I requested in feedback to Kinami the forward seem to as well. Covering of positions by A.I is nice and really impressed me, I saw Mikel drop into centre back for JT. One draw back/slight niggle is still having to use Super cancel with through balls to my strikers to stop their automated runs, would be nice if Super cancel was an option to use if needed in PES 2014 but would hope it will not be needed at all in future versions.
It has been said already but the defensive system this year is brilliant, so many options and the welcome addition of the double tap tackle button helps in sticky situations. With more physical aspects the game engine struggles a bit, but does its best when jostling for the ball physically, which feels good but needs to be improved in future iterations.
Keepers palm away a lot better. The keepers generally for me show great Player ID and individuality and make some great saves plus being much harder to beat. Deft touch is a great feature and adds many more options and ways to play or take in a player in the one vs ine player battles PES does so well with neat flocks and touches. these can sometimes be a tricky to pull off. If you can pull off a deft touch using the new system it looks and feels brilliant. Speaking if trick from the training mode I tried these and some are very, very hard to pass and perhaps Konami should have made these a bit easier to pass.
Heading is an odd ball. As defensive heading is great and positioning is
Strange but attacking heading seems sort if non existent, I have put in plenty of crosses but not really connect properly with any thiss was not the case in the demos for me. So maybe Konami need to tweak this or patch it.
Master league feels great and transfers are handled better, gaining percentage chances of signing players. Boots and other boost items like Bananas grate a little, but do not affect to much thoug. Although as has been said before an on/off button for boost items before you start ML would have been welcome again patch needed. As well as a league mode which I am hoping Konami add.
I played my first match at La Rosela stadium (Malaga) felt very tight. I won 2-1 Chelsea against Liverpool with a great goal from Hazard. Brilliant touches scored some amazing goals already.
Even my wife commented on Torres running style and how accurate it was, Played ID at its best. More on ID I love the way players like Lampard are really useful and passing ability is clear to see. When used correctly such great individuality that the rival game can only dream of. Many players use Played ID and some is truly wonderful.
Master League Online can be addictive but annoying how certain players cannot be bought due to top value being reached, just because other people got there first there were so many of these. I enjoyed Ranked modes a lot and Konami is promising a patch in October to give more match making options. Online is very stable in 2013 less/no lag unlike previous versions.
Atmosphere needs much improvement same hoooo hoo song all the way through. This is mainly in exhibition or online matches.
Impressed with Champions League mode and the new graphics for the logos and ad boards. Atmosphere for this mode is much better same with Coppa Libertadores. A.I does not seem to cheat in competitions like in PES 2012 so this is a relief. Team variations of playing great Galatasary sat back a bit when I played against then in the Champions league and seemed very authentic.
Auto save a bit annoying and does not appear able to turn off this off which is weird. Edit mode is the same as last year it seems although some extra league slots have been added. Colors for boots seems all over the show but in sure they'll add some like Oscars black and yellow Predators I hope instead of the pink that only Beckham is wearing at the mo I gather in real life.
Finally if Konami can recreate this for PES 2014 Fox engine with some bells and whistles then we are in for something special.
