For PS4 they release it within a few days. I think they are releasing it for Xbox one too. It should be online soon in PES World or Pes Universe

If you already have a 2018 version of either PES or FIFA and only play offline, no. My opinion anyway.

Based on playing the demo and a couple of impressions I think I already know the answers, but can anyone tell me if these two things are still prevalent?

1. Players back track immediately when a ball is turned over.
2. Midfield has hardly anyone in it so it's easy to go through.

If either one of these are true I will probably have to pass. They are the things that made me not want to play 2018 after the first few days. Thanks for any help!

Squads are NEVER updated for the US release. They’re always (except that one year where they didn’t update them until like November) updated after the official European release.

Also, if you want tighter marking around the box, make sure you take off “Deep Defensive Line” in Advanced instructions. If you keep that on it makes your CBs drop deep, even inside your own box.

Imagine a NBA game coming out with LeBron on the Cavs, not Lakers this season.. Even for 1 day (presuming the update is coming today) it is a SHAME. Enjoy

They just updated the squads today...

1. You adjust your defending instructions to PRESS, not ALL OUT DEFENSE and players will stay in position to press the ball to get it back.
2.If you again, from instruction set the containment Area as Middle, you will have plent of people to cover the midfield

I play with 3-1-2-2-1-1;

3-1 (DMC)- 2 (MC) -2 (RWF, LWF) -1 (SS) -1 (CF) formation so the midfield is always stacked

Thanks. Is this the same for the CPU too or are all CPU teams tracking back and having an open midfield like in 2018? My biggest worry is these settings would have to be done for every single team in order to fix the CPU.

To be honest with you i didn't play that much to test it but i see a lot of problems with CPU AI especially offensively, not challenging enough and predictable.

The CPU defenders mark offensive players tightly so it's harder to find space.

I play on hardest difficulty so it would matter too. Maybe in lower difficulties it is easier to find space through midfield.

In my games I need to carry the ball to the wings, than back to the middle and etc., passing around to find space. Middle is usually stacked if you are not counter-attacking.

I play with specific play style and with specific players, highly technical players behind striker and 1 as attacking midfielder to spray passes around and find tiny gaps for through balls and fast wingers to exploit space. And counter-attacking fastly, directly to score. That's my style with every team. So it depends on your style too. I don't like to pass around needlesly, I dribble past defenders often too so i rely on technical players and players with high skill level to make difference around crowded defense.

For ex. Atletico is an ideal team for my system. Lemar as Attacking midfielder with Koke and Rodri in the middle, Correa and Vitolo as wingers, fast, technical, can cut inside, shoot / cross, Griezmann just behind striker to create opportunities for himself and others, big bulky forward Costa to score when crosses come, dribble the ball by himself, protect it to wait for support and etc.
