One thing on fouls, it is pretty much a given the patch will not help with those. Bhatti has made several remarks lately on it. They are afraid it will ruin the balance as one adjustment throws another thing off. I think we know a bit about that when dealing with tactics, but it really sounds to me like they have no control over it as he did mention them needing to have new systems in place for fouls and referee logic. It will pretty much be up to us to get things in place to draw more fouls again this year. I think it can be done as Matt10s demo work already showed promise, just wait till we can get longer game length and other adjustments unlocked. If I can get it close to 17, I will be fine, but really hope they add something going forward.

One could be tempted to wonder if there's any balance to be ruined.
But hey, it's safe to say that this is what they want to try this year. Let's see how it will work out...

We'll see what can be done about midfield, but right now, it's a problem. With that said, I dunno what to say...I absolutely love and enjoy PES 17 and very likely PES 18. I'm very excited about the option files, master league, and another year of PES getting all my time and attention. It's just sooooo effing FUN.

I also enjoyed PES 17, not enough to play it all year, but i did play a ML until the end ant it was good.

But this year, there will be no day one buy of any football game for me, unless FIFA18 demo blows me away (highly unlikely from what i have seen on videos).

The good thing on PES demo is the length of it. Compared to FIFA´s is a much better way to gauge the state of the game. Unfortunately for them, it can also blow up in their faces, because you really do have time to notice whats wrong with the game... let´s see that day one patch, and what "general gameplay fixes" are included.

I've never picked up PES on launch day, does it have digital preload, or wait till release download?

I used to buy the phisical copy of the game, but i believe you can download the game a couple of days earlier to your hard drive and play it when it releases. But im not really sure...

I stand corrected, maybe. Bhatti just posted this:

"Hey guys, quick update. Team are testing something to increase fouls. Potential patch coming in a few months. Lots of testing taking place 👍
We pushed the topic, the team may have a solution. But of course challenge is balance, but I'm pleased it's being looked into deeper."


No guarantee this will happen, but glad to see them looking into this. Feedback works guys!

I think it have preload two or three days before release.
