PC player here, itching to play this, have you guys in X360 noticed if the scripting has been toned down (easy way to check is Top Player). Sucks its not 10min tho... wonder if Ps3 will be the same

Nope. 5 minutes on 360. But, everything I read said it would be 10.

You're both right. 5 min halves, 10 mins total. I'm guessing that you wish it was 10 min halves, 20 mins total?

Thats not good to hear. Do you see a big difference in shooting and pass speed?

Just double checked to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, it's 5 minute matches.

PES lists times as match times, FIFA does it as halves.

The new demo is 5 minute match time.

Demo #2 is amazing. I played as Barcelona naturally to see if the PES team weren't just kidding about the whole Player ID thing - this is by far the best representation of Barcelona in video game form I've ever seen. Every player on Barcelona team plays exactly like themselves. Messi's signature dribbling style, Xavi's clairvoyant ability to open up defences, Villa's constant runs forward and getting open anticipating the ball and of course the Barca quick tempo passing style is all evident.

I disagree with the user who said the goalkeepers are bad. I played with Real and Casillas was making some spectacular and well timed saves - no more brain farts from the goalkeepers when an attacker is inside the box, they will make smart saves instead of stupid ones. I urge to to play as Juventus and see how Buffon takes advantage of his size to make amazing saves.

The AI is great too - although they may go crazy with the through balls it's nothing gamebreaking - this was more a problem with Man U as the AI is probably trying to take advantage of Wellbeck and Young's speed.

Also the players move more fluidly compared to demo #1 - at dead ball situations they walk normally, some panting, others trying to lift the spirits of the team and during play they stumble against each other realistically and tackles look great.

I really, really like the trademark abilities and skills move too. You can really escape tight situations using skill moves and players like Xavi and Iniesta can hold on to the ball longer now. It's rewarding when you pull off the simplest of skill because it just looks amazing. Jogging towards a player and holding the RT button (classic configuration, not dash) while moving about the RS left or right will provide some amazing one-to-one battles.

All in all, the second demo is more refined, player movements are more realistic, not just compared to demo #1 but to previous PES titles (players legs no longer look robotic and Road Runneresuqe when running, the graphics looks a bit better than PES 2012 but nothing revolutionary and presentation is still the same - although replays are improved.

This demo should convince the average and hardcore PES fan to buy PES 13 and I can officially say this is the best PES I've ever played.
