Played the demo for a good while last night and it definitely feels like it's half PES half FIFA. A lot of things I did like, and similar to a lot of others, the defending has been a bit meh so far.
Like
- Passing: Maybe it was just because I was Barcelona for most of the time I was on, but the passing felt very crisp and precise. Some of the through balls I was hitting with Xavi were reminisce of his real life counterpart.
- Keepers: They seem to be better in one on ones and I've seen more saves with the keepers feet than the whole time I played FIFA 11. Also in an attacking sense, it seems easier to round the keeper using skill, unlike in FIFA 11 where even the worst keepers would accelerate like a pro and grab the ball.
- Visuals: The game genuinely looks really good, a big improvement from FIFA 11.
- Commentary: No more Andy Gray with quotes such as, '2 words...can't defend martin' - 'that's 3 words' - 'oh ayyye yee ayyee'
Dislike (So far)
- Defending: It will probably just take a while to get used to, but at the moment I'm pretty awful at it. Also World Class & Legendary seem ridiculously hard. Maybe it's just because the matches on the demo are so short, but I spent most of the time trying to get the ball than anything else, mostly trying to foul them but even then my slide tackles didn't seem to work.
But it's **** i cant get my joystick to work -.- I play on keyboard so ****...
