The CPU on professional has been clinical against me lol. There was really only one Fifa-esque goal where I felt cheated but the animation was believable and the defender was a poor marker (Japanese national team).

To avoid the video thing, on settings check the skip video option, it's the 3rd option below the resolution settings.

To me, PES seems SO MUCH better than FIFA if you want realism. Don't get me wrong, FIFA is good this year and I'm going to buy it since it is released earlier here in the US. But I will be grabbing PES this year as well for my Ps3.

Yes I believe so. Although the Winning Elven demo was on the Japanese store for the ps3 so you might find it there for the 360.

Ok, here are my impressions on the PES and FIFA demos.

First, I am surprised at the similarities of the two. They both are very fast on default, the passing feels pretty similar although I think PES is a little more realistic and gives you more pinpoint control.

They both have the cpu surrounding your players quickly and neither gives you a lot of time to maintain the ball with one player.

With that said, I've played 3 gull games of PES and about 1 hr of FIFA.

I can't make up my mind just yet. Maybe I just haven't nailed down the intricacies of PES 2011 yet, but the players feel a little too clunky for me right now. I understand not wanting to allow all players the ability to stop and start and turn whenever they choose, but I feel like it's a little too overdone and something as simple as cutting back in another direction seems to be too difficult for even the skilled players.

The build up in moving the ball in PES is fantastic and definitely better than FIFA.

I had high hopes for this PES because I miss certain things about the game that FIFA has never been able to implement as good as PES did in its PS2 glory years.

There are certain aspects that they've always nailed that FIFA didn't quite get right even with their last 2 games that have been great.

One is the variety and randomness of play and goal scoring opportunities, and the other is the shooting. In FIFA, I don't really feel like I have any real power behind a shot. Everything just kind of floats in, especially when shooting outside of the box. PES always made you feel like you were really smashing the ball if you had a guy like a Steven Gerrard.

I do think that FIFA has improved on the shooting as I do see some balls being stricken with more authority and I think the build up to scoring is a bit more varied than it was in 09 and 10 where I felt like everything went through the center forward.

I am very surprised at how good the FIFA 11 demo is and I wasn't expecting that.

BUt I'll keep playing PES until I feel like I've got it down pat before I make my final decision. I thought it was certain to be a PES year for me, but it looks like I have a tough decision on my hands now.

Anyway, sorry for the rant guys.....those are my impressions.

Oh, and BTW......I don't like that PES changed the camera view to one that is more similar to FIFA's. I always liked the PES camera more and how the characters were bigger. I don't dislike this camera view, I just liked the original PES camera better and I hate to see it changed.
