Good game imo
Got the full version, obviously needs all the editing to make ML playable as I cant handle fake names etc, but its enjoyable. Game feels free, where as FIFA always felt on some sort of rails to me, balls would nicely curl into someones feet etc - where as manual PES you have to work at making decent moves out of things.
Bit slower than id like but again a mod will change that, as at +2 speed settings its still a bit slow for me.
All the off field stuff is horses for courses ie ML, Boots DLC etc in the main the offline side of things is similar across games anyway. But definately plays a good game and something you can enjoy... its not all about end to end, theres plenty of midfield battles, scrapping it out down the channels and out wide.
Nice weight feel to the ball as well, you can really connect with things or you also know if you dont get it right its a bit floaty. Animations i like, skills are nice but not over the top that there is a 'goto' move as it stands, goals always feel rewarded in PES to me and they do in this one.
Its a different game to FIFA, sounds silly to say that but I cant see FIFA fans converting as it plays differently, yes its football, but each franchise replicates that in their own way and im not sure you will get many crossover fans either way.
Online havent tried and never do, not my cup of tea in sport games.
