Good stuff. I think we all knew this game would be solid based on the two demos released.

No one seems to like the RPG elements with the slots/boots. Why Konami, why?

Yeah not a good decision but it is one i can live with.

Here is an article on pesfan about the boots and he makes it sound like it is not as bad as we think:

As for the RPG elements though it is similar to what EA did with Madden this year IMO so I can live with it personally. The gameplay is too good to overlook

The IGN review is funny.

Negatives are Lacklustre soundtrack (which can be easily remedied with your own custom soundtrack)

Steep Learning Curve (To me this is actually a positive. You mean I have to actually read the instruction book, please no!)

Licensing (Which can be fixed with a good option file.)

I know it is IGN, but still just irks me that they never seem critique/praise correctly.

Personally I have never owned a PES title. I downloaded the pes2013 demo and OMG this is the most complicated sport title EVER!

To the point that it is ridiculous! It is like they wrapped old school street fighter control scheme to a sports title. HORRIBLE in my opinion.

I love the game play more than FIFA by far but would never purchase this game based on how crazy the control scheme is.

But those are pretty fair criticisms. The steep learning curve really isn't but the other two are. Although option files are available, they aren't part of the game and requires the user to fix. Same thing goes for the soundtrack I suppose.

I also hate the default controls, but I change it to the way Fifa has it setup and its much easier.

Thanks man. That was a pretty solid read. Like the article mentions though it would have been at least nice to see the AI just use normal shoes.

I still wonder how the game is coded for the AI. How will AI teams earn Konami credit to buy shoes? I'm still a little cautious with this mode. Especially with how different ML games were from exhibition games. But the solid gameplay is too good to overlook and not buy the game. Even if it means frustration and selling it back down the line.
