I ain't spamming shit, too busy playing PES 2014 over GTA V.
I don't know why, I love GTA V so much.

My god, is this game a mess.
There is a good backbone in there, but there are so many problems. Bad A.I., incredibly bad UI and menus, slowdown during matches, very bad face recreations once you get out of the big teams.
It almost feels like a beta version, come on Konami!

Same thing, just use the shooting button instead of the passing button.
Let go of the shooting button just before your player heads he ball.
Not releasing a PC game digitally is pretty bad. Doesn't have to be Steam, but they don't seem to be selling it anywhere
eg, Rome 2 sold 32,000 copies retail and over 70,000 digitally in the UK. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/the-...war-rome-ii-was-last-week-s-real-no-1/0120925 They are obviously missing out on sales, mine included for now.

I've only played 2-3 hours of the final build, and... I have so many complaints. I thought that Konami would have sorted out those issues, but this version of the game really feels like some beta demo you would expect to play 4-5 months before the release.
PES14 might found its way into next gen, but it appears that Konamis distribution branch is still stuck in the PS2 era...
I haven't bought a PC game on disc since Half Life 1 but have this preordered.
As I'll be modding it, is it possible to play without the disc in the drive? First time I've bought PES on the PC so I'm new to how the modding and patching stuff works other than the PS3 PES option files and the old PS2 Winning Eleven patches.
Wrote up your complaints somewhere? Does it compare unfavorably to the demo? I really liked the last demo.
The launch issues are poor from Konami, not being on Steam etc on launch day is just strange.
But I don't think we can be too harsh on the game itself really. I think back to FIFA 07 which was EA's first go on their new engine and remember it launching with what, 5 leagues? It was barely a complete product, and it had its own share of issues with the new engine.
It's the same for PES, although I think it's much more complete than FIFA was back then. They've actually added things from PES 2013 for a start - league mode is back (with club competitions this time), 11v11, etc.

Can someone please summarize the issues people are having? So many people complaining and no one explains what they consider the problems. Decent 8-9/10 reviews, yet people complain so much here. Is it just the digital distribution/release stuff?

FIFA 07 was 7 years ago. If EA tries that shit again now, people will complain. I like PES 2014, it´s a fine effort but this is a disaster of a launch. A lot of the online modes that were promised will only be available later through a patch.
It was, but my point was it was their first game on a completely new engine, as PES 2014 is for Konami.
To be fair to them, the online videos did specify the modes would be in a patch. They should have been there at launch, but they did admit the fact they would be patched in.
Did anyone mention or hint at when that would happen?
And is there NO online mode? Not even simple H2H?

Sure, it´s a new engine and that gives them a bit of a excuse but they shouldn´t get away with this guilt free.
Yes, the video said that online features would be added with a patch which happened already, it just didn´t add them all.
Their silence about digital distribution of the PC version is really annoying. Most people nowadays buy their PC games digitally and this is a week where the majority of console players are busy with GTA while PC users are trying to find something to play.
In the online video for 11 v 11 it said "features will be available via a patch".
The online mode is there, just some of the modes such as 11v11 aren't there yet. What you can do:
1 v 1
2 v 2
Online Master League
Coming later:
11 v 11
Using your Become a Legend player in 11 v 11
There might also be online competitions of some sort but I can't remember.
How do i download the new data pack?
I've launched the game and installed the new patch. The game then told me there was a new data pack. I go into settings and under Data Version it says 1.01 and underneath that it says Unimplemented. When I go to Data Pack details it says No content available.
EDIT: Game feels different than the demo. In the demo you rely heavily on R1x2 for the burst of speed to get past a player but in this game I could easily sprint past players using R1.

Choose Statistics on the main menu and there should be an option like "Data Pack Installation" or something. Choose that and it'll download the data pack, be aware though it takes ages.
Why it's under Statistics rather than Options, I don't know.

Slowly getting used to it ... plays so differently compared to Fifa, it's crazy. I'm still a bit bummed about not being able to dribble effectively and the presentation could be a bit better, but overall I'm warming up to it.

Don't you all find that the pace on Game Speed 0 is a bit too much ? -1 seems the right speed for me. And i don't know maybe it's in my mind, but i feel that dribbling is more difficult when you are at -1 speed.
Which makes this game so good. You have to learn to plan your game before the first touch. It represents modern football at its best.

No steam integration? bah....probably wont bother then.
Do all AI teams press and do they get tired from pressing?
Depends on their rating and strategy. The stronger the team, the harder it is to dominate them or escape their pressing. PES has always fatigue enabled, so the pressing at the end is not as relentless as in the begining. The best way is to work with some trick moves or find a way to counter the pressing. Its challenging but rewarding once you get the ball back and start attacking and eventually score.

Can't recall ever seeing a launch as disasterous as this. Like, what the fuck went wrong there? Every random indie devolper manages to put his crap on digital distribution services in time. It's almost 2014 ffs.
I think it's out a week later in the us store, but still who knows if Konami will add it today on the uk... still nothing
Ah okay, thanks. I will not ask who you needed to bribe to get this information or how much you needed to pay
