Honestly I haven't noticed too much of a difference except maybe I see the CPU commit at least 3 fouls a match playing on Superstar. Still haven't grew tired of demo though, I'll probably play it all the way until the release of the full game.

No, they have definitely improved positioning and the retreat possession loss issue. It's real. It's like night and day the difference.

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum, been a long time PES player & loving the PES17 Demo...

I am located in NYC, and looking for US Pes players on PS4. I am interested in friendlies and/or leagues. So far I have not come across any leagues here in the States.

I am not denying if it is real or not but there was definitely some stranger things afoot but I just haven't really paid much attention to it.

Right royce.

I have never seen anything like this. If I rated the demo an easy 8.5 now with whatever has happened with the few things that annoyed me mysteriously vanishing I rate it a solid 9.

It's the only game I am playing now.

If the full game stays like this and I have an option file it's a solid 10/10 for me.

Do you play full manual? Listing your settings will help give people here an idea of what kind of player you are.

The game I am playing most is PES 17 as well. Madden is actually good for the 1st time since the ps2 era, but the problem I have with madden is that the players feel floaty, they don't feel grounded. In fact, I think the ps2 madden games felt more grounded, less floaty. EA likes floaty player movement to appeal to casuals. PES doesn't feel floaty, especially on the -2 gamespeed setting, and this is really what makes pes 17 the best sports game available.

2nd half - They turn their blatant foul on me into a goal for them and I said whatever. For now. This could get old fast, I got taken down a lot this match with too many play ons

Guys, are you using advanced through balls? If yes, how and when do you use it (how often, sprinting vs. not sprinting ect...)?
I have hard time using it. Very often I miss quite easy ones even with skilled players. It seems I am rarely able to give the right power to it, it is so sensitive compared with any other kind of passes.

Advanced through balls is okay a little too sensitive at times like you said but it is much better in Pes 17 than it has ever been. I find the advanced lofted through balls feel great but the ground through balls are a little off. I would stick with basic, it feels really balanced this year.

On PS4 (again, it maybe different on XBOX or PC), it is impossible to make changes on the game files without an update.

In this game, and someone please correct me if im wrong, there are no server side fixes (like in Battlefield for example). And also, in PES the gameplay it´s not server side, it´s a file like the .ini file on Fifa with all the parameters of the game. If that file in PES is changed, Konami MUST release an update, Sony does not allow any company to do this changes without their consent. That´s why we read the devs sometimes saying "the patch is done, it awaits approval from Sony".

Now, again, im not saying that there are no changes and im not saying that on PC or XBOX changes were really made to the game files, but on PS4 it´s something else.

Maybe it´s the switch on/off of the Att. Fulbacks, maybe if the CF is on a red arrow the DMF let´s him loose and goes to attack because the CF is on poor form, maybe it´s another thing completely different.

Maybe... it´s just what makes PES feels so fresh! It´s not as "robotized" as Fifa and things don´t play out always the same!

Re: PES 2017 Demo Available on Xbox One, PS4, PS3 - Post Your Impressions

Sure but I can list these things that have changed

1.CDM now moves up into space

2.You don't get mugged straight off kickoff anymore by the CPU ST on top player or superstar. Instead of them immediately sprinting on a direct path to the first guy you touch the ball too they are more casual with their behavior.

3.That dainty dribble animation where the player has his arms out to the side and appears to be skipping seems to have disappeared

4.Fatigue (to me, need to test this more) seems to not be as harshly applied late in the match. I was having most of my squad and the cpu totally gassed by the 80th. I have not changed the way I play to conserve energy. It just seems to have been toned down.

Again, just to be clear, nobody is arguing here. It's more stunned amazement that this is happening and confusion to how this could happen, since it is unprecedented.

The bottom line here is no matter what wizardry enabled these changes, the demo is playing fantastic right now.

Have you ever played the NHL series? They release "tuner updates" which are NOT patch files, they automatically install when you login to the game and are connected to the internet. This is probably what Konami did stealthily.

Re: PES 2017 Demo Available on Xbox One, PS4, PS3 - Post Your Impressions

It's easy to find out if they indeed stealth hotfixed anything. Just turn off your connection to play offline. Hotfixes only work when connected.

Thing is, I don't remember the demo even having an online TOS acceptance screen to begin with, which it must if it connects. So I'm pretty sure it doesn't connect anyway.

I imagine what people are seeing as different has to do with things like the "form" and "emotion" of players. You can change these in the game settings screen. Or maybe even just different games providing different results. *shrugs*

Yes, i played NHL 14 and 16 a LOT! Loved 16 really.

But those tuner updates where downloaded in-game, we got a clear warning that there was a new tuner update and gave us the option to download it (for online games it wasn´t optional of course). So again, it was a download, it was a file, it warned us and asked for permission. Crystal clear stuff there.

There is no such thing in this PES demo.

Couldn´t agree more, to me it´s things like form, emotion, on/off tactics, etc... the "randomness"! It´s the thing that will give this game longevity.

Ok I take back point #3

The prancing animation is still present on xbox one at least. Just saw gabi and koke do it in my current match.
