Surely the servers cant keep getting worse every year >:( Why do
they refuse to upgrade them? It makes no sense.
I quite like 2 on 2's as well, can be a good laugh but ive found
that it can be hard to get a game at times on PES. Sometimes
have to wait for others to join the lobby.
I hated those sweat games on fifa, so tedious ::). I have found
that even in defeat on PES I can still feel like I played well,
or I know that I got absolutely battered lol. I tend to get what
I deserve, I have thrown away 3 goal leads but its because I
bottled it :-[ I could feel myself making poor decisions and
being impatient. There is still frustration in the game (its
football after all) but the frustration is with yourself and not
the game. When you are confident and in the zone everything is
perfect, when you are nervy though it really reflects on the way
you play. You know you have fluffed a shot before you have even
hit it as it didn't feel right. Over all its a rewarding game, I
cant wait until ive mastered it ;D

MY CLUB
The best way to describe it is like fifa ultimate team world cup
last year. There is no market and it is very much pack only so
to speak. Instead off packs you hire agents for a chance of
getting a good player. You get one player at a time and it is
random, although the chances of getting top players is much
higher than UT. Ive not spent any money and I already have reus
and RVP. You can select agents with different specialties eg.
GK, DEF, MID, FWD. You also get agent for free after each game
but the chances of getting someone good are remote. I think the
agents improve as you advance through the divisions and become
more specialised eg. DM, possession player, French players etc
The chemistry (team spirit) its governed by the players link to
the managers way of doing things. My RVP has a perfect fit to my
manager whereas reus hasn't. Over a number of games the
relationship with the manager grows though and team spirit
increases.
It looks like a great mode and the difference between say Ibarbo
and RVP is massive. Top class players are a different grade but
they cost much more in contracts. RVP costs 3150 GP for 10 games
whereas a 75 rated player will cost 1000 for 10 games. Its about
finding the balance between superstars and decent players that
will do a job.
Im really enjoying it atm. I like the random aspect as there are
so many unique players to use. Not sure id like the random
aspect as much if it was on UT as 90% of players are quite
generic but on PES there is so much variety. :)

I actually appreciate the FUTHead Youtube stuff at times.

Pretty much agree with everything he said. The gameplay is
unbelievably good. I haven't enjoyed a football game this much
for years ;D

I think I'll wait for a few months, hope the hype builds (read
"more local purchases") and pick it up cheaply given most people
are so addicted to FIFA.
Hopefully get it earlier with some Christmas/Boxing Day sales.

Yea it would be good if you can get it on the cheap. I'd try the
demo first though. Its difficult to like straight away because
you wont know the mechanics of the game etc. Once a bit of time
has been invested the rewards are endless.
Here is an IGN review as well if you are interested 9/10 :o

Ok, so the kid downloaded the PES 2015 demo whilst I was away.
Switched on last night when I was back & yes, I was a little
tired & probably not in the best frame of mind to attempt
another football game (new controls, etc).
Spent a few minutes resolving the small issues re: controls,
then got into a game - me vs kid.
There are definitely some aspects that I know I will like - for
instance, the very specific power bars on passing/through balls.
The game play appears fluid at times and is very playable in
that sense.
But ... well, actually ... BUT ....
It does not look good at all! Certain animations are incredibly
poor - even cartoonish at times, e.g. GK throws are ... just
plain funny, collisions (via slide tackles) are weird with the
player "hopping up".
Sorry, but all round the game is "fugly" compared to FIFA. I can
only imagine the number of developers that EA throw at their
game - obviously completely stupid at times in areas where it's
not needed/warranted. FIFA looks incredibly realistic at
times.Yes, there are weird things that happen, but overall the
game is very impressive, when aligned to what Konami have.
PES 2015 looks like it's 4/5 years old - maybe even more. Now,
please note that I have been playing FIFA since the '96 version
on PC & have owned nearly all their releases - hardly ever
really played PES.
Please note that my opinions will not be a 'PES-fanboy' one, but
more from a FIFA-fanboy perspective.
Sorry Jim. Will be giving this one a skip

I had the same experience Kiwi when I was playing it over and
over again during the GAMESCOM this year. It just didn't feel
right. Could be that yiou are so used to FIFA tho. It is just a
matte rof getting adjusted to it....
for me the decision was clear: FIFA15

Correct ... "it just didn't feel right".
Unfortunately for PES, FIFA is a major step up visually. Right
now, the biggest problem is EA servers. But, if I choose to play
mid-week games I have some (small) control over the experience.
We know the community will always be the community. They will
find flaws - full stop. Regardless of whatever game it is.
So, like you Glad, it is FIFA 15.
