With the game tied at zero, minimal time remaining on the clock and the crowd going crazy, you know what your team needs to make a stop here. As the visiting squad, you're in hostile territory and you know the only thing better than leaving this stadium — is leaving with a victory. Thinking he's caught the defense napping, the opposing forward makes a pass into a tight fit only to have it go your way. The defender stops the pass and immediately outlets it to you. You sprint up the sidelines, dribbling left and right, avoiding defenders. Your winger sprints on the opposite side of the field — it's two on one. The goalie comes out to meet you just as the ball leaves your foot and soars through the air toward your teammate. He jumps up and his head connects squarely with the ball — as the energetic crowd goes silent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly fun and Immersive! September 25, 2012

By Heisenberg

Platform for Display:Xbox 360

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

If you spend more than 10 minutes with this game, it's very hard to turn off. Stadiums, fields, players model all look good, but the animation is really nice. The crowds really get into the action with all the chants, it is absolutely awesome. The controls have a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, the game feels very natural to control. For those that complain about licensing, please remember that updated Option Files will take care of that! This is the only game that has UEFA & Copa Libertadores. I really hope more people play online this year, the community needs to grow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great relief from Fifa 2012!! September 25, 2012

By Juan

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

The AI of FIFA 12 was so horrendous that this year I decided to make the switch and go with PES. Keep in mind I've never played PES before, other than trying out the demo beforehand.
I've only played 1 full game and most of the training (which has HIGH standards) and tried the league play for a few minutes. Thus far I am very pleased with the flexibility and detail of PES. Fifa does have better presentation and leagues (because EA is using it financial superiority to monopolizing league endorsement!!)
If you havent experienced the superior AI and detail to gameplay that PES offers you're depriving yourself out of a genuinely great soccer experience. I'm wont be going back to FIFA any time soon!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Much improved from last year's game September 26, 2012

By Ardita Kola

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Amazon Verified Purchase

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I played the demo and loved it but I was still wary that the final product may not be the same as the demo (demos of 11 and 12 were completely different from the actual game).
Game modes are pretty much the same as last year with the exception of Club Boss which is now gone.
New for this game is the addition of the Brazilian league (fully licensed) and the addition of 3 brazilian stadiums and all 20 La Liga (spanish league) stadiums. There are 50 stadiums in the game but you can create many more with the Create A Stadium option.

The biggest improvement is the thing that matters the most which is the gameplay. Manual passing and shooting are great in this game. Use manual settings for a more realistic experience.
The defending system has also changed a bit. You really have perfectly time your tackles or else the opponent will just skip past you. Also gone is the speed merchant attribute. No more playing against a team full of speed merchants in MLO.

One flaw this game is the through balls. The CPU abuses the through ball and it's how you concede most of the goals against it.
Very annoying until you learn how to defend them.

Still the gameplay is great and very addicting. I can't stop playing it. You learn something new in every game you play.

Anyone who wants a realistic soccer experience should get the new PES.
