I was under the impression it was the 19th!?
Same date as the 360/PS3 versions. It's just the demo that's out later.

Thanks guys, found it... just played one game hmm can the speed be adjusted in the demo? Didn't find any option for that so far...
yep. and day one steam version was confirmed as well
No, but it can in the full game. Goes from -2 to +2, default is 0.

Thanks... because after playing like 5 games in a row now i feel this is kind of sluggish, especially the reaction times hmm maybe a +1 or even +2 might make it feel more responsive

- Is there a way to actually pressure an opponent by getting your player to press on him? So far, the only thing I've seen is how to posture right preparing for a tackle, but nothing comparable to the pressure mechanic seen in FIFA.
- How do I manually select a player quickly?
1. This varies depending on position. Sometimes just holding X / A will pressure, if your player is further away you might have to tap sprint a couple of times to get him to move in and attempt a tackle - don't hold it, just tap it a couple of times when your player is near theirs (I've no idea why sprint is the equivalent of a pressure button, but it seems to work). You can also move the right stick when near the opposition to make your player move in that direction and try to get the ball. Or press X / Square to call in a second player to pressure them.
2. L1 / LB is change player. I think you can alter the sensitivity in settings (button config -> support settings). You can also disable auto switching here as well.

Have you tried holding X (PS3 Controller) and the Left Stick away from the approaching attacker?

Phew, finally done the review for the game. Should go up sometime tomorrow. No online reviewed as the servers are not live yet. So I'll do a follow up on that when they are. I could easily have written a 6000 word review... but I've had to cut it down so much. Sorry in advance for not covering every facet of the game. But I'll post a link when live.
My review is up:
http://www.true-gaming.net/home/181336/
Since it's in Arabic here is a summery:
+ unprecedented animation and physics in a football game
+ Fox Engine makes everything looks much better
+ Gameplay and player's reaction and speed simulates real football like nothing before
+ Fans are more active and their atmosphere is almost real
+ The best application of through ball in a football game... allows the player to make very smart opportunities to score
- Lack of content and depth of modes
- Missing more important licenses
- Fox engine is ahead of its time... sometimes affect performance
Note: Online mode was not available for review.

I seriously doubt we will, at least from a presentation perspective. I mean, they STILL use cursors in their menus in 2013
(Quoting myself for context)
Performance is a bit better on the xbox demo, easily noticeable in the replays and other scenes, and after a few games I haven't noticed framerate dips while playing. IQ is slightly better and there seems to be a tiny bit less input lag, which might be linked to the slightly better performance coupled with the fact that to me it seems like there's much less input lag during training modes (in both ps and xb demos) where there's almost nothing going on except a bunch of cones.

If the game doesn't have the 2 v 2 option I'm not buying it. The way people act on 1 v 1 games grinds me and 11 v 11 will be a clusterfuck like FIFA. Poor form not having online available for reviewers.
Some impressions from the review code which arrived yesterday.
The bad:
The good:
Waiting for the day 1 patch to see what changes/is improved. Right now it's alright, but the potential is immense. They just need to sort some stuff out.
The bad:
- Keepers still have issues, they lose awareness of the ball when something that isn't supposed to happens does. Crosses that are targeted to the goal for example, they let in some turkeys.
- Shooting is harder than the demo, I'm doing a lot of floaty shooting.
- 1 bar for passing is hard to control, 2 bars is too automatic.
- Some player awareness issues still remain.
- Some goals are very unsatisfying because they have 3 or 4 animations for controlled shoots and most of the shooting animation inside the penalty are bad, they don't have much "oomph!".
- A lot of missing faces, Benfica for example doesn't feature a single one.
The good:
- It's fucking fun. It's more refined than the 2nd demo.
- Magical moments are.. magical, lol.
- AI is fucking relentless on higher difficulties. Strangely enough, Top player is more balanced than Superstar and Professional
- When you come to grips with the controls, it really shines. PES lost its arcade roots, you need to take various circumstances into account in 2014.

Immediate response times from player. If you press a button, he immediately does what you intended, it doesn't matter if he's being pressured or not.

What are the pc requirements to run the game ?
Funny thing is that they're either great or retarded. I don't get it.
But its what makes the game fun though. I agree its incredibly difficult to programm authentic keeper AI and its really annoying if you play the CL final in ML and concede a goal in extra time because of this shit
Keepers,shooting,passing are all things that should be judged after many many matches playing with many different teams.
Since in Pes every team is different from the other thanks to individuality,players skills are very important.
Some keepers are good and they do no awful mistakes, others react quicker but are less precise in their savings,etc
shooting and passing is the same,they rely on stats,even at 0 bars. So the difficulty of passing and shooting depends on player ability
The rest of your points i agree,both bad and good.I only would wait more time before saying anything definitive about keepers,passing and shooting
If it isn't I'm not going to fall for a bait and switch. My willpower is strong... I have resisted the charms of GTAV thus far and konami are not having me double dip on the same platform. It'll come out on steam eventually.
Is a 2v2 mode not confirmed? That's shit if so.
Not confirmed yet but in online video you see you can set the room capacity either to 4 or 8 users
i think there is 2vs2 and 4vs4 besides 11v11

Can't find it in text form
Thanks.
Looks like my aging computer would be able to run the game somehow, good to know.
I don't believe so, none of the key sites are stating Steam is required.
There was an entry in the SteamDB for "Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 Retail Version" so I don't know if retail keys could be activated on Steam eventually.
Thats a bummer... No choice but to go for the disc then...

Nice to read all the positive reviews. It was pretty clear from the begining that this will be the best PES to date. Really hyped right now!
Dont want to insult anyone, but gamespot isnt exactly known for their competence of football, or how they call it soccer. The demo of the game is a good indicator of what the game is able to achieve.

I agree, to dismiss this game for what it is and give it a 6 is insulting.
This is what I cant get my head around with reviews. Especially sports games.
If the reviewer is or isn't interested in the sport of the game then surely that will have the biggest impact on the review/score over everything else?
If they aren't interested or have no knowledge of the sport then they cant possibly know how well the sport game has recreated it?

It’s not a stats thing. Pes has always had the problem where keepers make the most basic errors like pat weak shots straight back into the middle of the penalty area instead of catching the damn ball. That’s a not a stats thing!!
