Good of Konami to offer a pre-release option of trying the full game, if were not for OS posting it in their news feed I would not have known about it however as it was buried deep within the PS Store...

I love the gameplay and it is far ahead of PES 2013 in many ways. I agree that player responses to button presses are a bit slower than in previous versions, but still within reason. If anything, I see the response of players differ depending on skill levels (ie. Ronaldo/Robben versus more average players). The issue I have is that I feel the current hardware is not powerful enough to run the game, hence all the slowing we see during gameplay, cutscenes and replays (and even when going into the game plan screen and subbing players). I have been able to win headers in the 18 yard box, only if I press the shot button in advance of the ball arriving to the player.

The single greatest aspect of the game is in the player momentum, very satisfying turning on the ball, doing a trick and leaving your defender in the dust. The "catchup" logic of defenders is not as bad as some people have posted on other websites. For example, Giovinco of Juventus was more than able to stay ahead of a defender who he left behind, getting all the way into the box for a strike.

I agree with many people feeling this is an "unfinished" game. That said, I have had more fun with it than with PES2013 and so I will have no trouble playing this through the year, as long as patches and data pack updates don't change (ruin) the gameplay as in years past. Can't wait to see what this game will be like next year on the new systems and with another year of working out the kinks in the engine.

fouls, fouls, fouls.

I have been playing on hardest difficulty and the game plays great, however the cpu commits way to many fouls that are not called. This happens at least 10 times a game, and it allows for the cpu to get cheap scoring opportunities. Based on past experience I doubt the tune this. Only thing slightly irritating about the game so far.

Some of this has to be a bug. I've had the CPU murder me and I can see the ref signal the advantage but when the CPU gets the ball immediately after the foul it's not called.

It does a great job of calling the human player for shoulder barges. Just need it tuned properly. Last year this was fixed by modders. Hopefully this year is the same.

Saw something awesome last night, sent a long ball down the wing that I gave up on cause it was too far out in front. Next thing I know ball hit the corner flag and stayed in. Raced to it, sent it into the box for a headed goal. First time playing this after 3 years of fifa and its been a breath of fresh air, having alot of fun so far

I don't think you can change it until the retail comes out. I don't speak Spanish, but I feel like I am picking it up now due to hearing the commentator for hours on end.

I speak Spanish as well so I enjoy it while I'm playing liga bbva games but its jarring the hear it when I'm playing epl games.

Two negatives I've taken is that goalkeepers are still ever so inconsistent. They show a lot more flashes of brilliance this year but it'll get canceled out by mistakes and poor parries and positioning.

In my past experience with PES, GK issues, along with some other player behavior imbalances and consistencies, can be completely fixed by raising players' average rating baseline and thereby lowering the ratings spread between the best and worst players. Example: In PES 2011, too many players sent floaty shots way over the crossbar. I fixed that by raising the shot technique rating to 80+ for all players. It has to do with imbalances in the way the game engine interacts with different player ratings. Some specific ratings quite simply need to be raised across the board for all players, and there needs to be less of a spread between ratings that differentiate good from bad players in order to fix and rebalance the gameplay.

If you do the same with PES 2014 and make bad GKs better and the good GKs even better, I'm guessing all these GK concerns can be pretty much eliminated. You don't do this for all ratings of course, just the ones that can help rebalance any obvious gameplay problems.

It's in Spanish, doesn't look like you can change it, I turned them down and cranked the other sounds. But it sounds like they're more chatty then champion and beglin...

Ya even though I don't understand anything they say, it's still much better than the English guys.

I quote a witty line I found on another forum:

'PES 2014 will come out in 2014.
Right now we are testing it'.

k... here is my first long range cracker from Bonucci in Champions League playing full manual on professional with Juve...

I dunno if it's just me but when you have shooting on manual it seems you can hit the ball harder than when playing on basic or advanced imo... any ways, I really enjoy the shooting on manual in this game...

also, another thing that is great in this game... that people might not have checked out.. but playing manual keeper in this game is the best I have ever seen for a soccer game going back to the old GOAL days on the NES.. I'm enjoying it more so than playing manual goalie on the NHL series back on the Genesis.

L1 + R3 selects keeper... O makes saves...

hold X for positioning.. trust me.. playing on the keeper sometimes is well worth it and so fun... I do this any time the COM AI might get a break on goal or in the box or on corners.... it's freaking amazing

any ways, bottom line this is the best soccer video game ever in terms of being sim and pure gameplay.... imo

if 11 v 11 actually works decent on PS3.. this will probably be the best video game for me. I can't wait to actually play with or against another human in this game... it seems like it would be so fun and addicting

Spanish commentary then..
That's what I thought, but anyway, I love it...... Gooooooaaaaal ....
Have to use it when playing with Brazilian league..
