I wish!

It's just a bloody good game this year and I just wanna get that point across.

Bloody good as in better than fifa or just bloody good as in better than all the next gen pes games?

I hope the master league is still the same with loads of unheard of players than you can mold into a unit.

I haven't played FIFA 11 yet so I can't comment in that respect but, even at this stage, I would say PES 2011 plays better and more satisfying game of football than FIFA 10.

PES 2011 brings back that magic that was attached to the PS2 games, it has that "something special" factor about it.

I reckon it will be a game that you will need to pour a bit of extra time into in order to learn its new features i.e the new tackling and passing system. Even for a PES fan. Those coming from FIFA trying to play it like FIFA will probably be quicker to dismiss the new goodness due to lack of instant results.

The special factor will be the rewards feel for learning your PES trade.

Saying that though, if FIFA devs have combated the ping-pong passing - I think the whole pace of FIFA could change for the better.

I will try both demos as always and decide which feels better. I don't care really about licenses or graphics.

If you're toying with us, mind, we'll have to skank you. If this PES is a letdown then you'll be on a wanted poster.

Oh my, looks fantastic! Loving how freely the ball seems to move now, looks like it plays like a dream.



Jim bloody Beglin on commentary though, grr!


Edit: video removed?

It has indeed. Well, it has been made private.

The person (from a website I presume) didn't adhere to the embargo so I reckon the Konami ninjas were sent over to deal with him.

Damn umbongo! Just wanna see the game.

[ezee ryder]

It's back.....for now!

Looking good, liking the improved fluidity.

[nakamura]

Well well, have to say I am rather impressed. First the negatives, animation still looks off at times but it is certainly miles better than before, in fact it is good enough not to even be noticed unless you have been playing a lot of Fifa. Second, well not a lot! It looks fluid and responsive, dribbling looks great. Passing is much better as is the look of the shooting. Overall control looks great too.

I think there is definately room for both games on the shelf this year. It can only be a good thing for PES to return to form. It will drive on Fifa along with offering high quality itself.

Hmm still the keepers look shocking - what was the keeper doing for the Danny goal?? Just standing on his line looking like he doesnt know the rules!
Is this absolute latest build??? Are they still acknowledging the keepers being rubbish???
