What level are you playing on?

Started out on Daddy Don't Hurt Me and have since moved up to You Really Want To Win, Don't You?

Regular for now while I get used to the player cam + all manual.

Intersting because I am on Pro and I still see it sometimes. What is intersting is I think it depends on the game and situation. I was playing against Germany and they weren't really doing it at all until I went up in the game then they tried it more which makes sense.

For those (like me) that might want to learn the new moves.

Yes, I'm seeing it on Regular/Pro as well now -- sometimes several times in a row -- after playing on that level for a while. Seems to happen anytime, but I'll watch for that.

I am sure it is a combination of my PC and my graphics card but I am enjoying the PS3 demo more than the PC demo.

Man I simply can't stop from spending minutes in replay mode, takes me forever to complete a match. Been playing with a few formation tweaks I did for some teams. This is simply a beautiful game.

I just bumped it up from Professional to Top Player and had a very enjoyable game against Santos FC (for as long as 5 minute halves will allow you to anyways). I really like the way that the A.I. pressures you on that difficulty. I ended up losing 2-1, but I don't count the penalty kick that was scored against me lol. I didn't know how to defend it, so my goalkeeper just stood there and watched it sail past him. I guess I was supposed to use other stick.

The only thing that might keep me from staying on that difficulty is my defense. The computer often finds a way to dribble past me when I feel like I'm in good position. They also managed to get a few breakaway attempts that I'd like to slow down in the future. I'm sure most of that has to do with mistakes that I'm making though.

When I first started playing this, I think I was doing a lot more running around then I was passing the ball. That wasn't really opening up any opportunities for me. Now that I'm spreading the ball around more, my game is definitely coming together a bit. The video below is a goal that I scored in the game I just played. It was nice to score one outside of the box.

Can someone who has played the demos answer some questions that I have?

1) Do refs call fouls and are there enough fouls by the CPU?

2) Do the CPU players chase the player from behind and the dribbling human player "staggers around" and then loses the ball?
In PES2012, CPU players would run really fast behind a dribbling player and cause the dribbler to stagger around like drunk and then lose the ball.

3) Can through-balls be played in more often than in PES2012?
Through-balls were good in PES2011 but pretty much got removed in 2012.

4) Does the ball "auto track" to a particular player?
Players on my team would ignore a ball, even if the player is closer, if the ball was pre-determined to go to a certain player.

5) Does my human player decide to run after an out-of-bounds ball or try to chase after a ball that is half the field away?
So annoying in 2012 when my player would run from midfield to a ball that is going out of bounds on the goal line.

Thanks!

RA30, I'd say all your concerns have been addressed. I didn't play 2012, but you're describing a completely different game from the PES 2013 demo I'm playing! Why not download it and check it out yourself?

Just fooling around with some of the player ratings using the PC editors that are available. Some very cool stuff. Body balance means everything. Lower a player's balance and he stumbles and gets knocked off the ball very easily, making that a very useful rating to consider when fielding a squad. That was an issue for me in FIFA as those ratings mean nothing at all in that game.

Another rating of interest to me is the responsiveness rating. I actually find the players too responsive and hard to control in the demo. Lowering their responsiveness makes them much easier to control with the stick, albiet more sluggish of course. In general I'd say players are rated too high in that catagory anyway. I mean Andy Carroll 82? Realistically and as far as gameplay response goes, he should probably be rated in the 40s from what I tested.
