of course I meant to do it I was totally going for the chip

That's what it looks like when I watch it so it must be true.
See how that works? That's the magic of the internet, heh.

Finally home again after two months so I get to fully test out this PES Demo, looking forward to it.

This game seems harder on the PS3 than the PC but maybe the demo unlocks and mods make it seem like that because I was terrible while playing on the console lol. When I played at a friends house a week ago I didn't notice how terrible I was because we were both playing against each other but anyways so far so good.

I can't quite put a finger on what makes the demo so good because it is subtle but noticeable especially on the PC while having access to at least 50 teams and extended play time. So far I am seeing a lot of varied fouls being called and I am in love with the new defending as it has a risk/reward thing going for it. The animations are pretty good to me as well , watching Robben trying to cut inside and shoot and seeing players like Ozil and Silva move on the ball is pretty fabulous.

The only thing that is worrying me in the demo is the possession battles, they seem little off as I can dominate in that regard. It may be a premature statement as I didn't play much matches but I can say when playing a Madrid (me) vs. Man City (cpu) match I noticed Silva holding up play a little bit and even stopping waiting for his teammates to get forward. I guess I need to mess with tactics to get the results I want but I love this game so far.

The more I play the more I will report about what I see on the gameplay and tactics as I plan on using this weekend to break open the game and see what can be accomplished by tweaking stats and formations.

PC version, player cam locked, on-field view pulled back using MxSoNiC's cam mod. Might just be the best sports video game experience I've ever had. Love this game.

FYI, use barcafan's editor to make and save changes to the formations. That way you can test your edits out without having to edit things every time you start the game up. Just copy and save the default dt04.img file before you start.

Yeah I checked out his editor I have been trying to find out which teams are what in the files since I am using Jenkey's patch, which patch are you using Yeats?

His editor defaults to the dt04.img file when you hit Open. I just assume it's the same file no matter which patch you're using...? I'm using yair's patch, sonic's camera modder and cabry's demo unlocker. I don't install extra teams, balls, etc. as I'm happy to wait for the full game.

I seriously can't stop playing the demo

I tried to go back and play Fifa 12 and I can't do it

I just hope not much changes in Demo 2.

Oh ok, I have been editing some stuff like ratings and formations but I see no change when I load up the demo. When I open up the file outside of the demo all of the changes are there its weird. I would ask on evoweb but it is almost near impossible to get some direct help on that site.

You're using jenkey's add-teams patch I assume. Does it add more .img zips to your demo folder? If so, the files you want have to be in one of those new zip files I would guess.

EDIT: I just unzipped one of jenkey's files. It contains several zips: ex0b, ex0c. etc. Those go in your demo folder obviously, have you used the editor to try and open/search those zips for team files?

Another thing: Are you hitting "Apply" after making your formation edits, before saving the file? I didn't do that the first couple of times I used the editor (didn't see the Apply button), and my edits never showed up in-game as a result.

Re: Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Royce, I installed jenkey's first team unlocker patch (4 new teams). It doesn't add any .img files, so the game has to be accessing the team files in the dt04.img file. I edited two of the new teams, looked in-game and the edits weren't visible. Re-opened the dt04.img file and the edits I made were visible and still there. So it appears that somehow and for who knows what reason, jenkey's patch is messing with the editor's ability to function as it does with the 4 default teams. That's my guess.

@Yeats @RoyceDa59

Guys, to edit Jenkey's mod, all you have to do is open ex04.img in the editor, instead of dt04.img which is the demo's default database file. Jenkey's mod doesn't overwrite the default files. I have edited players and formations that way and works

Thanks for this man, i was wondering because I did a little but of editing last night. I am trying not to get carried away since this is only the demo lol.

*preface* I couldn't really find an appropriate thread for this, but felt it didn't warrant one of it's own....

So...

Can anyone tell me if the officiating is better than in 2011?

I can't stand getting hacked down all over the pitch w/o getting any calls, while collecting cards and defending set pieces frequently on my end.

I haven't played 2012...sorry.

Honestly, I love fouls. Not committing them...but the way they affect the game. The older versions of the game had individual officials...and games often felt very different. Some games were slowed by frequent whistles, while others were almost violent. More importantly, one could almost guarantee that if you were hacked down 3 times in the box, you would get at least ONE call...unlike in 2011...where, <insert rant about getting mauled AT HOME in CL KO round>.

The officiating in 2011 is by and large one-sided, and it often ruins the experience.

As long as we're at it...I want some other features from the ps2 days.

Player swaps...are they in?

Condition regulation...that mystical roll of the dice...i want it back.

Kit options...i like being able to choose shirts and shorts independently pre-game...sometimes it helps with distinction, and kits are awesome anyway.

And I miss the ability to actually DO SOMETHING in goal-front scrambles...but i think someone has already mentioned that this seemed much better in 2013.

Can't wait. gotta have it.

The fouls in 2012 were a big step up from 2011. So, 2013 should again be headed in the right direction.
