The PES 2016 Demo is available on the Australian (and I believe New Zealand) PSN. It's 3.3 GB for the file size. I'm in the US and just made an Aussie PSN account to get it.

Nice damn I am at the office won't be able to download it until later, knew I should have worked from home today haha.

Wow, this game plays great.
I played pes 15 a little last year, and while I thought it did a better job replicating soccer then fifa I still had a hard time playing it. It just felt off.

This was a new experience,

1: The collision system is really nice. Players for the most part react natural to contact
2: AI attack would move into space constantly and would make good runs and setup give and goes.
3: AI defending was moving into passing panes and looking to make good tackles or knock players off the ball. And smart blocking sliding tackles. Also if the ball was played back to the keeper and forwards would push up and pressure them.

I also saw differences in the two game I played between the teams. 1st game I played was Brazil vs palmeiras. Pal kept trying to move the ball downfield with possession, while in the 2nd game Juventus would push the ball deep from the back. Every other possession or so, they would try and hit me in over the top.

I'm just a few games into the demo, but it feels a lot better then 15 did and I think PES fans will really enjoy this years game. Can't wait to see fifa's beta, or demo


Edit: only fouls I've seen have been slide tackles

Played a few matches (six) on Superstar. First thing I can say is that the graphics look great, much better than last year they even got Generic faces to look almost on the level of the scan and modeled players.

I don't think too many people will be disappointed with that, but on the other hand...I am not sure how Konami were able to make the game much more physical but still have the same amount of fouls from last year. Seems to be less standing tackle fouls as well because ALL players can summon the ability at randoms times to hop out of the way of your tackles. Other than that there are ALOT of impressive animations to be displayed and the improved ball physics are a welcome.

I still have to play more but I am mixed on it so far, the tactics being pretty much unchanged from last year is a blow for me.

PES 2016 Demo up on Australian PSN

After about 6 or 7 games (10 min) on Regular and Professional...

1. Players animate better and GK seem to do their job better than PES15. It just looks better which goes along well with the upgrade in graphics.

2. Only 4 fouls have been called and only one yellow (on me). What's funny is 2 of those fouls occurred in the first 10 min in my first game and Valbuena nailed a FK from about 20-22m out. My initial thought was "Nice! They are finally calling some fouls!". Unfortunately, that was fools gold.

3. Each team seems to play a slightly different style. Juventus was looking to connect on the long ball (Tevez is tough to contain). Pirlo dropped some nice long passes to Tevez and Morata. I saw some nice crosses (low and high). France curled a beauty of a low cross in the box to Benzema for a near goal.

4. Players seem to fatigue slower than we saw in PES15. They still fatigue, but not at a drastic rate.

5. The Live Broadcast looks very good. Always a fan of playing the game similar to how it looks on TV. Just my preference.

I hope the development team patches the fouls like they did with PES14 on PS3. If not, it's going to be pretty disappointing to see this important area of the game go untouched.

Re: PES 2016 Demo up on Australian PSN

Replays are fantastic. They look very close to what you would see on television. I am in love.

I have been able to draw a fair share amount of fouls by holding down R2 button (Close control). If you don't hold this down you won't see many fouls. But, players get pissed off about it on the pitch. Haha

Here are a handful of pictures I took...

Nice pics, I noticed Neymar doesn't have his tattoos in this build so I am assuming this isn't the final build. Hopefully they tweak a little more things for the final build, I feel like the passing is a little too sensitive.

Re: PES 2016 Demo up on Australian PSN

How are you guys finding the penalties? I'm watching a guy streaming now and dudes are getting leveled, but I've yet to see one called.

Good catch, I didn't even notice the lack of tats.

Yeah, if you're not holding down R2 as you are dribbling the refs won't blow the whistle. If you do they will a lot more. I hope they have a tutorial explaining this.

Has anyone noticed that when you switch players defensively, the man you switch to slows for a sec, allowing the attacker to go by?
Otherwise, pretty similar to last year, not overly impressed thus far.

Love how the AI switches to defensive mode at the 80:00 mark if they are in the lead by 1 goal.

Re: PES 2016 Demo Available Now on Xbox One, Other Regions For PS4

First thing I do is change the controls. RT sprint LT special. B shoot X cross B teammate pressure X slide tackle

Then like a racing game I can go fast on RT and slow with LT.

Also in game turned on cpu names and lowered game speed 1.

Scored a sweet Vidal goal in the pink juve kits.
And in the second game a tasty brazillian special that contained 5 passes, a jinky run, 2 more passes and a unstoppable bullet into the inside side net.

Ready to edit kits!
