The last time I bought a PES game was Pro Evolution Soccer 5 on the PS2. Every year since I've downloaded the demo and not liked it. I've always felt that PES really didnt transition well to next-gen consoles.
However this year, something's different. The classic PES fluidity is still there, which makes passing the ball about so fun. Your AI team mates make clever runs, allowing you to construct some moves that aren't possible in FIFA 12. If I had a couple of complaints it would be that shooting feels underpowered, or the goalies or overpowered which ever way you spin it. Also, whats with some of the creases in the player' shirts? They're all the same and it feels like the only reason they are there is because "thats what good graphics look like".
That being said, this is a step in the right direction and I feel like, if not next year then the year after that, PES could very well be dominant once agiain.
