Seriously, im not sure whats the buzz around with people complaining much bout this game.
Yes, it does have it's downfall especially for PCs (damn it Konami!) but hey, if you're playing this series since back then, you'll surely agree that PES is all about its gameplay.
Well, with that being said, here's some of my opinion regarding this game. Oh, and no i don't play online as the crappy internut i have down here, a hardcore ML fan I'd admit.
Pros:
- Superb gameplay, AI doesn't 'cheat' anymore with their unlogical powers & sudden lost of pace (u surely know what i mean

)
- Passing are more realistic than ever
- Through passes are fixed from previous series where the AI think it knows better than us, therefore through passes are really useful this time around
- Players & ball's physics are awesome, so much realistic and no more 'gameish' turn around or 1st touch
- AI are definately better, players positioning are much improved
- Players stamina are really noticeable where subbed in players are much more agile than players who've start the game, therefore it's useful when you're chasing a game
- Goalies are more clever in making saves & positioning
- Games are much harder, noticeable in ML (yes, im bored of winning each game from last series)
Cons:
- Ofcourse, the cut scenes....but heck, i could live with that no problem
- Shooting are sometimes looks beyond logic with the pace of the ball (seedorf's shooting i call it

)
- passing direction are locked even with assist, which means it wont allow u to make a change of direction hence losing out the ball to either opposition or out of play (super cancel? nope, i prefer the AI to do it's job)
Overall, i'd gladly admit im hooked into this game for another long year even w/o the famous PESEdit patch (well, there's plenty others to come for sure).
Gameplay: 9/10
Overall game: 7/10
