I agree with you. PES is the better overall game and for the first time in years people will have to accept (like it or not) that 2011 belongs to PES and not Fifa.

These are two different games that cannot be compared. Please tell me how is PES 2011 a next gen game? Let's compare it to Madden, NBA 2K, MLB 10. Those are next gen games. You can tell right from the start so how is this game a next gen game? PES is a phenominal game but it's not next gen so how is it a PES year in the next gen arena?

To change the switching go into select sides and then hit square on the ps3. Change it to semi-assisted.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out tonight. Since I sat out 2010 and barely played 2009, the menus are somewhat foreign to me.

When the full release drops the first thing I will do is change the controls to FIFA's. Last night my 1st 2 crosses with Lahm were shots before I realized I was hitting the wrong button.

I was able to change the face buttons, but not the shoulder buttons. Although I also change FIFA to alternate controls (ie, the old WE shooting/lob pass setup). So, yeah... I'm having trouble changing the PES controls to the FIFA controls that I changed to the WE controls.

U can switch the sprint button if you press start and go to button settings (Im pretty sure thats it, not playing the game rite now) and select custom controls and set it up how u want. I pretty much set mine up like Fifa's set up and it feels more natural for me since im used to Fifa.

Like I said above, I saw the ability to re-map the face buttons -- which I don't want/need to do -- but not the shoulder buttons. I'd like to get sprint on R2 and jockey/strafe on L2 if possible. IIRC, we can't put player switch on L1 since that's for strategy settings. But I'll give it another look tonight...

Your welcome. Semi-assisted works the best IMO.

What are you on about? What determines a next gen game? You call Madden, NBA 2K, and MLB 10 next gen, but then don't say why.

Not sure which system you're on, but on PS3 you can definitely re-map the shoulder buttons.

Re: Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Only played a few games last night, so I'm not going to give any kind of detail in my impressions right now. All I will say is it's definitely a big step up from the last two years. Looking forward to putting some more time in with it.

I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I could get sprint & jockey on the same buttons they're on in FIFA. Also the auto-switch is killing me. I tried to change both of these without success, but perhaps I overlooked something. Anyone?

I made all of those changes and I'm starting to get the hang of things. I couldn't get them exactly like FIFA, but i have RT for sprint and LT for slow dribble and jockeying (while ball is in the air) and things got much better. Also changed auto switch to only on offense. Wish there was an option where the switch was just toned down on D but manual works as well.

I don't suppose you know some secret way to skip the 10 minute post game ad do you? (w/o exiting the game of course..)

This is one of the downsides to PES since I can remember. You can change the shoulder buttons (at least in the past you could), but they didn't allow you to change one of them and it made changing the others basically worthless.

I don't mind the sprint on R1 (as opposed to what we might be used to with FIFA), but the super cancel on R1+R2 for some reason irks me...I just can't hit that button combo.

If youre on ps3, just exit and restart. Waiting 30 seconds is a lot better than waiting 7 minutes. If on pc, you can disable it in the settings file.

Re: Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 Demo Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I'm gonna say this: if you don't like this game over Fifa, you don't like soccer. The more I play this game, the more the realism stands out. I finally got my offense going, and this game is really starting to really just blow me away. I've been able to get long strikes, shots where I just found the tiniest bit of space in the box, and that perfect through ball for the one on one where I got the perfect feint off to get one on one with the keeper for the deft finish. No trick looks out of place, no player has that perfect touch with the ball stuck magically to his feet. When I get a shot everything feels as if it is done by proper planning and execution, not by using a unrealistic amount of tricks or poor CPU AI.

I'm loving the fact that the CPU punishes me on Pro, but there's nothing that screams "cheat." I can always say that I goofed and created the opportunity, either through a poorly timed or placed pass or over-pursuit on D. I just scored 5 goals this morning, and every one of them felt earned. What I loved was that 2 of them came of deflections, one off of my hitting a pass that went in, instead of a shot, one was an own goal off the defenders face and the other because I pulled a perfect stepover with myself facing a defender in the box with help closing in. When I'm on, it's a thing on beauty. When I'm not, the computer reminds me to up my game, quick.

This game is awesome, the game Konami needed to deliver. The PC version is, quite simply, the best looking gme I've ever seen. On my i7, settings all maxed, I have not seen a single frame dropped, the details are incredible. They even have the replay issues of last year sorted out. They are something a gamer could use to create some serious Machinima masterpieces. I simply can't wait for this game to drop. From a major fan of Fifa, I have to say that this year, it's all about PES 2011. I'll grant that Fifa has the better online package but, where it counts most for me (gameplay, AI, graphics) this game is tops. Can't wait to get the full game and fire up ML. Hopefully Dido already has been given a PC copy by Konami and is hard at work on the first SMoKE patch. Man, November can't get here soon enough.

Unortunatley not. I just exit and start the game again. Stupid idea that was Along with not being able to play any of the 4 teams against each other. At least on the ps3 anyway.
