Haven't got to demo yet because of FIFA but will tonight. Despite the positive feedback, I'm taking the cautious approach. I hate to be that guy but I feel a lot of us are always happy with the demo then only to be let down by the retail version.

Just played the demo for the first time - seriously how on earth can people even compare this to FIFA. The animations are horrible and ball physics way off!


I don't get it! It feels and looks like a game from 1998.


It's FIFA 15 for me this year! By far! So disappointed with PES 2015 and really don't understand why it's so poor in every way.. Jeez!

Come on really, player models look better than FIFA IMO.

I used to be a diehard Winning Eleven fan. Played the crap out of WE7 way back in the day. I tired the demo for PES14 on PS3 just to see what it offered after playing boatloads of FIFA14 (both xBox360 & xb1).

I have played a fair amount of FIFA15 on xb1 in the last 7 days, so I can't help but compare the two.

The demo for PES15 on xb1 is just strange, not sure how to put it into words without sounding like a FIFA zealot (I like FIFA quite a lot, but it's not without it's fare share of issues each iteration).

PES15 looks like a slightly improved last generation (PS3.5 let's call it) version of a game. The graphics don't look very "next gen'ish" at all. Maybe it was just the combo of stadia + time of day, but the first match I played was extremely washed out looking. Everything was just too bright. The player models look a tad thick. Visually not what I'd expect at all out of a next gen title.

The gameplay is very slow/methodical compared to FIFA15 (which could be a good thing)......but the players feel like they are running on "rails", like you can only move 8 directions. The fluidity is nowhere close to FIFA15. Everything feels clunky. I will fully admit I am very unfamiliar with the controls in PES, so that could be a potion of the problem.

I'll try to play a few matches before completely writing this game off, but so far if I rated FIFA15 a 9/10 this would be a 5/10. Very unimpressed to say the least.

Not crazy about this demo. Right from the start, the ball physics were sluggish, the player animations just felt...well...sluggish. Graphically, the lighting on close up replays were pretty sweet but the overall game play view was not good and made the turf appear washed out. The game's graphics are tighter and crisper than it's predecessor, but it does not feel look like a next gen game to me, just a whole lot more sharpened version. I think I expected way too much.

I agree! PES player models are top notch close up, but FIFA's player models look pretty sweet from far away, because you can definitely tell the distinct differences in the height and size of the players. PES 2015 does not do a good job of that :-(

Exactly! It's just feels poor and unrealistic in a special way that reminds me of a very old footy game..


No matter how much I try to love the PES 2015 demo - I just can't...

Do you need to be a PSN plus member to download the demo? Can't locate the PES 2015 demo anywhere.

Please tell me that the full version will still have the broadcast camera. They left it out in the demo???????????

Unfortunately, I can't even see "games-new this week." Not ever sure where that is located. All I see under the Playstation store is "Day 1 Digital, Digital Only, Stream Only, Only on PS4, Free-to-PLay , Indies, Demos, Add-Ons, etc." And under Demos, there are only 21 titles available. I see Fifa15, NHL15, Minecraft, etc. but still nothing for PES2015.

For me, the PES gameplay and on-the-field stuff just blow FIFA out of the water. It's just so much more realistic...the first touch quality actually matters, whereas in FIFA, every 3rd division defender can control every pass with perfect precision. Those who complain about the game feeling "sluggish" are probably just used to FIFA's "everybody is as skillful as Maradona" gameplay style.


In spite of FIFA's gameplay flaws, I've continued to give them my money on a regular basis, and I played the hell out of FIFA14...actually preferred it to PES14. However, this years cut-on-a-dime physics, along with the RIDICULOUS bodybuilder player models means that I won't be supporting FIFA this year. Hopefully, PES tweaks the demo in the right ways for the full release, because the basic gameplay is amazing so far. Just feels so much more like the stuff that we watch every week on TV.


I'm sure it's been repeated plenty over the years, but this years perfect soccer game would have FIFA handling the licensing, presentation, modes, etc...and PES handling everything on the field, including player models. I'd play that game until my fingers fell off.

ummmm....I haven't had a FIFA game in .....I don't even remember, but I have played other sports games on next gen, and know what animations with smooth transition feels like. Pes ain't it my friend

I went back to no assists for passing. Such a joy to play. Nothing like getting a handle on the subtle nuances of passing in the box. Hard to do that with assists enabled. I just wish they would put the pre order up already.

I hope that there will be different teams for the UK/USA demo that HK one. It would be nice to see some different player models. Here is a great game I had last night on Superstar All Manual Settings except one bar pass assist. Fantastic finish....

Dante caught in two minds on that last goal. You could see him thinking about staying with Llorente or picking up the run of Pogba.

Kind of a cheap goal you gave up. You could see the power bar go up on your player as you were trying to hoof it up field. Did the game make you attempt to go up field or were you trying to put it out of play?
