PES 2016 Demo Available Now on Xbox One and PlayStation 4

[milin]

I've played about 30 games since yesterday and I'm loving this game. It's hard for me to stop playing.

The game ain't perfect. Far from it. But it is the most fun I've had in a football game since Winning Eleven 10 during the PS2 days.

I hope they fix the CPU fouls and I'd also like to see CPU passing and shooting accuracy toned down a bit.

The best games I've had so far have been using the two brazilian teams, since their stats are not as good as the other teams.

I'm playing on top player, manual passing, basic shooting and -1 game speed btw. I'll try manual shooting later.

Definitely needs fouls now that the AI finally has begun playing physically. Hope they can tweak this before the release.

Also, I kind of lost my **** when I scored this:

Played 3.5 games and I've had enough already. Lots of good in the game that is overshadowed by the lack of fouls. Funny thing is on the loading screen when they give you tips on how to execute a good free kick. I also saw another tackling tip that basically said "be careful because the refs are strict.

3.5 games not 1 free kick.

Played only one half and got a free kick in dangerous spot and scored with Pjanic . I liked what I saw but with every football game, the problem I have is that the CPU don't foul enough and its hard to play any football game when its like that

1. Lack of fouls
2. Not able to edit on xbox

Game killers for me unfortunately.

Damn, I'm really looking forward to playing the demo this afternoon, but I must say it kills me to hear that the fouls issue still hasn't been sorted out.

Can anyone comment on the responsiveness of the controls, specifically the skill moves and deft touch dribbling? I felt like certain moves were just latent feeling last year, and it really limited the dribbling capabilities in my opinion.

The CPU players are not aggressive enough, and therefore only attempt tackles they're 100% going to make, so there are no fouls. From what I've seen on replays of what I thought were fouls, the CPU defender always gets ball first, then body.

What level are you playing on Orion? The higher up in difficulty the more aggressive the CPU is, just like in FIFA when you play on lower the levels the CPU will play defense very passively.

It needs to be addressed because you can slide around all day and there is no consequence. Ive been called for a foul once in 6 games. Not that i play this online but this issue will make it unplayable i would think. As it stands right now. Is anyone seeing auto tactics and subs being implemented by any coaches ?

Yes, the CPU will change their tactics based on the result. It's subtle and you can often overlook it. The pop-up comes in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. The problem is that the team tactics are sent up. For example, I was playing Bayern last as Corinthians. I was down 0-2 in the 80th. They went to "defensive" but their play going forward didn't change that much. After the match I went and looked at Bayern's default tactics and the only thing different between their regular tactical setup was that their "defensive" sheet had their "pressure" change from "aggressive" to "conservative".

Edit- BTW, Bayern is incredible, especially when you consider the firepower they have on the bench. Robben, Ribery, Thiago, Javi Martinez, Alaba.

So it's like in Fifa? Damn, i Just hate how they facilitate things for the attacking side.

Defense is so neglected in these games that i can't enjoy them anymore
